So you're looking for a birthday party magician...

Let me guess, your child got a magic set, saw a magic show, or a relative perform a magic trick and now they want a Magician! Or you're tired of the same old boring kids entertainer and want something different.

One thing to consider when hiring a birthday party magician is the length of the show relative to the kids ages. Most Magicians you'll find on our website vary their show lengths based on the age range. Generally, kids that are 3-6 aren't going to sit for an hour or more!

Older kids generally enjoy a longer show if the Magician holds their attention. One thing that's a big hit with older kids is a "Magic Secrets Revealed" lesson. When you pay your deposit online, look for an option to add levitating magic wands or Magical Treasure Boxes to your show package. All Magicians on our site will give a brief magic lesson after the show is done so the kids learn the secrets of the tricks!

This is often the biggest highlight because the kids will take the tricks to Show and Tell or will be eager to show their parents and tell them how much fun they had at your party. Chances are you're booking a show because your child was "bitten by the magic bug", right? Now you see how much fun it can be to learn the secrets!

Another important consideration when hiring a birthday party magician is to check out the Magicians reviews. Some Magicians specialize in kids parties and others really do more of the corporate events. If the Magician has a description for kids birthday parties, you're OK. It means he does these often. Double check the recent reviews to make sure.

If you're not sure on who to hire, give us a call and we'll help you find the best fit.

A big suggestion that will make your party flow smoothly is this: Always allow at least 30 minutes for your guests to arrive and get settled before the magic show starts. If you schedule your show at 2:00 p.m., call the party for 1:30 p.m. Magicians on our website do more than one show a day, so to maximize their time at your event, make sure to have your guests there early. A SECRET: Your Magician will be more generous with "Meet N' Greet" after the show too, because he'll have started on time and won't need to rush out for his disappearance!

Want to really ramp up the excitement for a rock star performance? Always have a set area for the show where the kids sit on the floor a few feet away from where the Magician sets up. Even better is if you have the Magician set up while nobody is in the room, then parade the kids in to "grab their seats" and watch the excitement build because they haven't seen the setup. It's as if the Magician magically appeared in the living room and now the show is starting!

A big WARNING: Your child is going to talking about magic for a long time after this party. It's for that reason that every party booked on MagicianMatchmakers comes with a 2 Month Free Membership to The Young Magician's Academy, the World's Only Monthly Magic Club For Kids.

Starting the week after the party, your child will receive an easy to learn professional Magician's trick in your mailbox. Every trick comes with a secret code that you can help him/her enter online on a secret website to watch a "Magic Secrets Revealed" video. Chances are, your little one will want you to leave the room so he/she can then be the Magician while you are the Assistant. It creates memories that last a lifetime (and also has created many Magicians!) so you'll see why many Parents love continuing their membership after the Free Months are up.

The biggest tip of all for hiring your birthday party magician is to do it here. That sounds self-serving but we truly look out for you. Our service is Free (we will make money if you buy party favors from us- most people do) and you're protected. Should your Magician try to cancel, we know every Magician in town and can text them in seconds, finding you an immediate replacement.

Look, Magicians know we tell a lot of people about them, so they show up, they do a great job (because future clients will see YOUR review about them) and they work hard to please. Much more motivation than if you just called around and found "anyone", right? Plus, who else lets you easily compare all the birthday party magicians by price and then lets you check availability without spending hours on the phone hearing the same old pitch.
