About
Mr. Bob the Magic Man is not an agent and definitely not a company-run franchise, but simply an independent children's birthday party entertainer. He has performed for children since 1989! In April of 2014, it'll mark 25 years of entertaining the little ones. Thanks to his love of kids and dedication to the art of magic, he has managed to become the most sought-after birthday party entertainer in the Chicagoland area! Parents book him several weeks and even months in advance. That's how busy he is. He has gone to parties where children actually greet him by name, thanks to previous visits! I've always loved magic and entertaining children. There are always children's neighbors, nieces, nephews and grand children that I could try my new magic on. If I get a thumbs-up from the kids, I'll incorporate the new magic tricks in my show,

Mr. Bob is a great Clown magician to have in a party. There were 3 kids in the party who are affraid of clowns, but they had so much fun to think about being scare. I will definitely recommend him. He was there on time and patiently deal with the kids...

Mr. Bob was wonderful and had the kids laughing so hard! And he made my 7 year old birth day girl feel very special! He was very professional, and easy to work with. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a party magician.

There wasn't a moment during his performance that Mr. Bob didn't have the children's undivided attention! They loved him! I even had some parents come up to me later that week to tell me that their child was still talking about Mr. Bob. Thank you Mr. Bob for making my son's 6th birthday so memorable!

We had Mr. Bob this past Saturday, for my daughter's 6th bday party. Everyone LOVED the show! He got the kids involved and did magic, told jokes and made balloons! They were fascinated! I would highly recommend Mr. Bob for your entertainment. The adults loved him as well! I'm sure I will be hiring him again in the future for my other daughter's birthday!

FAQs

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    Always attending workshops, conferences, conventions and classes to keep up with all aspects of my entertainment business.

  • How did you get started doing this type of work?

    Back in 1989, I performed my very 1st magic show for my daughter's 5th birthday party. I was nervous, but pulled it off and the rest is history.

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    When shopping around for other entertainers, be sure to browse their website, photos and most importantly, have a phone conversation with that person before deciding on entertainment. You should be confident that he or she is the best person to be your party entertainer. Nowadays, Moms and Dads want more for their money. There are already many expenses, such as food, drinks, cake, ice cream and decorations- you want to make sure that your entertainment is successful as well! MR. BOB TO THE RESCUE!
