Introduction: Most magicians will either perform birthday party magic or they do slight-of-hand magic. Slight-of-hand magic consists of tricks done with playing cards, coins, and small objects with no special gimmicks to make the trick work. This type of magic relies on hand ability to pull off the effect. With birthday party magic, most of the time the props used in the trick are gimmicked. I stand out from other magicians because I perform both types of magic. I am not only a magician who loves slight-of-hand, but also adores birthday party magic. I perform at many childrens birthday parties and on stage at township events and so forth where gimmicked magic works really well. But, if you are having a smaller adult party or, say, a cocktail hour during a party or even a wedding, slight-of-hand magic works really well and can be done with small objects which can be carried in my pockets with ease and performed directly at the guests tables.

FAQs

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I believe in being a life-long student in my field of magic and balloon animals. A magician friend called Irv Furman (who used to own a magic shop in Philadelphia called Hocas Pocas) once told me His library is a magicians strongest tool. I took that idea and ran and ran and ran some more with it. My library now has over fifty books on magic and balloon animals and about sixty videos and DVDs. This does not include my magic magazines and lecture notes. I am always trying to learn new forms of old tricks and learn new tricks as they come along. Its funny because even at private house parties you meet people who have seen you perform somewhere else, and I never want to bore them with the same tricks twice. As for balloon art, well, that is always changing and people keep coming up with new ideas to test my skill as a balloon
What types of customers have you worked with?
I do a lot of magic show/balloon animal performances. My show is forty-five minutes long: thirty minutes of magic and fifteen minutes of balloon animals. I also do a lot of costume character routines: a thirty minute routine including a candy-filled piñata. I also provide a great deal on a combo routine of both the magic show (with balloon animals) & a costume character (with piñata). The combo show is a great value and provides an hour and 15 minutes of entertainment and a savings of $35. I also do strolling magic and balloon animals for parties or even cocktail hour during a wedding; if the traditional is something you dont need but you want something to entertain not only kids but adults as well. I also love performing at festivals and events for townships, amusement parks, company picnics, etc. I can do strolling magic and balloons for up to three hours as a pirate, wizard, or even in a tuxedo.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
II would ask a few questions first. One question being: How long have you been a magician? My answer to that question is that I have done magic for about thirty years, and I have spent about twenty years doing balloon animals. I only send myself out to performances, whether its doing magic shows, balloon animals, or costume characters. I have been doing costume characters for about twenty years. Also, all of my costumes are professionally-made costumes of your kids favorite cartoon characters, or easily recognizable characters such as the Easter Bunny and Santa.
