Hiring a Magician For a Child’s Party
You need to make sure you are hiring a performer who understands this is a child’s party and not Cousin Brad’s bachelor bash. I would recommend thinking out of the box, and calling the theater department of your local college or university. Chances are there is a great student who can do a few card tricks and will work cheap. They may also not live by the mythical magician’s code and teach the kids a few sleight of hand tricks. Good austin magicians should be at ease with both the kids and the parents, and be able to entertain the kids for at least a half an hour. I personally would avoid an act that uses rabbits or birds both for the allergy factor and the inevitable clamoring of 8 year old children who now need, want and have to have their very own living props. Who needs Charles E. Frommage when you have the Magnificent Magician at your house?
