by Tim Scarbrough (Lyndel) (#1 Birthday Magician - Lyndel)

Magic shows are entertaining and impressive to watch. For children, magic shows hold more allure than ever. They definitely are more awe inspiring that a clown who does a few funny things and creates balloon animals. Therefore they are great for a child's birthday party. If you want the moment to be magical you need to consider a few things before you hire just any magician for your child's birthday party.

There is more to consider than just cost when it comes to hiring a magician to perform a magic show for your child and his/her friends. The cheapest magician may not be the best option. Full time professional magicians will be more expensive but will do a much better job.

Kid and age appropriateness is something to look at. After all you do not want to be 10 minutes into the show and have a magician that spouts off some off the wall humor not suitable for kids.

Audience participation is another area to look at when deciding which magician to hire for the magic show for your child's birthday. Children do not like to sit still and just watch for very long. A magic show that has audience participation will have your child and his/her friends engaged and entertained far more than a sit and watch only magic show. Imagine as a child how neat it would be to take part in a magic show.

Does the magician only utilize magic tricks or does the magician use comedy and sillyness to hold the children on the edge of their seat? Remember that children bore easily and a magic show that has more than just magic tricks is sure to keep their attention. So try to find a magician that will keep them guessing over and over again just what is going to happen next. A good magician will be fast paced and keep the show moving along to keep the kids entertained.

Here are some good questions to ask the magicians who you are interviewing:
How many years of experience does the magician have? Generally the more experience the magician has, the better the show will be.

Will this magician avoid language and stunts that you wouldn't want kids to mimic? You wouldn't want to be embarrassed by an inappropriate entertainer.

What percent of the magician's parties have been children's parties? Does the magician know how to hold children's attention?

What's the age range that responds well to this particular magic show?

Are you reassured by the magician's professionalism? - Web site? Promotional supplies? Performance Agreement?

Does the magician have public liability insurance? This is crucial. Chances are NOTHING will go wrong, but you don’t want to end up with a magician who isn’t covered should an accident occur.

Bottom Line: There are lots of performers who call themselves magicians, but only a select minority truly offer entertaining and mysterious magic shows. Hopefully the tips in this article will help you to hire a magician who can make your event a fun and memorable one.
