John performed at a dual birthday party for us. There were a dozen kids aged 0-10 and they very much enjoyed his magic and balloon animals. He engaged every child and ignored the child hecklers with grace. We will definitely use him again and highly recommend him!

Details: Birthday party • I'm flexible • Balloon twisting • 21 - 40 guests • Younger than 4 years old • 4 - 6 years old • 7 - 10 years old • Private residence (indoors)

My son and his friends had the best time with this magician. They were laughing from the get-go. he kept them interacted with his magic show involve them on stage with him and made sure that they laughed and got his jokes. I would recommend him for any kids birthday party at any age. He also did some amazing balloon designs I had swords and magic wands I even had a helicopter hat which was so cool. Thank you so much for letting my son Gio's 9th birthday party be a blast with him and his friends.

John was AMAZING! All kids (big and small) were fully entertained even the teenagers! He was silly, corny, jokeful, personal and patient with the kids. Everyone loved their balloon animals and other things he made the adults even got in line. I would HIGHLY recommend John for any and everyone searching for a magician. I am 1000% sure we will be using his services again!

John was such a wonderful magician! He kept the kids interested and active the entire show! The adults were laughing from the beginning until the end and still ask me how I found this magician! We hired John to be a balloon artist as well and his creations were amazing (bow and arrows, dogs, mermaids, etc...)! John really made my son's 6th birthday celebration magical! John was very personable and professional from the first phone call to the party. YOU CAN'T CHOOSE ANYONE BETTER!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
$150.00 for up to first hour, $100.00 per hour over....$50.00 per half hour. I tell my clients I don't charge for what I do, just the time required to do it! All magic, all balloons, or a combo of both....
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I make sure my clients know up front what my fee is, and if I do go over time, I don't charge extra...I'm usually having too much fun! If I don't have another gig to get to, I take my time and make sure all my kids get a balloon creation, if balloons are part of the show. I follow up with phone call or text to make sure we are on target for the show, usually a day before the event.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Circus, and School of hard knocks!
