Following are several questions we are often asked about
hosting a successful magic show at a birthday party. If
you still have any unanswered questions after reading through
this information, please feel free to contact FitzMagic

Question
When should I book my entertainment?
Answer
Ideally you should book entertainment as soon as you know
the date of your party. Most performers can only perform
a few shows in a day, and some times we are booked months
in advance. If you really want a specific entertainer you
may need to move your party time or even day. It is always
wise to plan ahead.
Question
When should I schedule the magic show during my party?
Answer
Ideally, the magic show should start a half hour after the
party begins. This will allow any late guests a little more
time to arrive at the party. In addition, the children will
have time to see each other and become somewhat acquainted,
allowing them to enjoy the magic show even more.
Question
Do you have any suggestions on how to plan a party?
Answer
FitzMagic recommends planning the party ahead of time. Come
up with a basic outline so you can relax and enjoy the event
when the time comes. The party should begin by allowing
the children thirty minutes to arrive and play. Thirty minutes
into the party the magician will start the show! Following
the show plans should be made for the children to have lunch
or cake. This will allow the performer some time to pack
up his show. Games may then be palyed by the children in
order that they may burn some of that energy the cake will
provide. Finally, presents may be opened, allowing everyone
a time to calm down before the end of an enjoyable birthday
party.
Question
Can I videotape your magic show?
Answer
Because this will be a live performance the performer's
focus will be on performing for the audience. This means
the camera may catch things that the audience will not.
We, like most other magicians, do not allow our shows to
be videotaped. Exceptions are allowed during the performance
which involves the birthday child. At this time it is desireable
for the video camera to be rolling and the flash on the
camera going off! This is the part of the performance that
we want to remain in your memory forever.
Question
Do you have a rabbit?
Answer
Absolutely not! we don’t want to be responsible for a live
animal biting or scratching any of your guests. We wouldn’t
want a bunny to go to the bathroom on your new carpet, and
we would feel bad hauling the little guy around the Valley
Of The Sun in a hot vehicle. However, we do use a spring
animal that is very realistic. His name is Rocky Raccoon!
And he is trained, in addition to appearing, doing fun comedy
tricks, disappearing, and reappearing he never has to go
to the bathroom. He will never bite and best of all, most
of the children believe he is real!
Question
I was thinking we would have the magic show outside, is
that okay?
Answer
Being magicians we can perform the impossible, but it is
recommend that the show be hosted inside. There are far
to many distractions to have a successful magic show outside.
You have to consider wind-blowing props over, the sun being
in the children’s eyes; antsÅ there are many distractions
to think about. One performer in New Jersey was struck by
lightning while doing a birthday show in a backyard. (Now
that’s dedication!) So to answer your question yes we can
perform outside, but the magic show will not be as successful
as it would be inside.
Question
Where should the magic show be held? Will you need a table?
Answer
Most of our shows are performed in either the family room,
or the living room. Occasionally, it may be necessary to
move a chair or couch, but this is usually the best place.
Performers prefer to have their back against a wall or fireplace
as this will limit any distractions that may happen behind
them. As for a table, the performer will bring everything
needed to put on a professional magic show.
