At a children's birthday party I entertain with a jolly mixture of some or all of the following, depending on what you would like and how old the children are. Above all, the most important thing is that all the children have an incredible amount of fun, everyone is thoroughly entertained and that the birthday child gets to feel very special on their birthday.
For a one-hour party I usually entertain with a 45 minute magic show and finish up with 15 minutes of games. Alternatively, if there are fifteen children or fewer, there will be time enough to make them all a splendid balloon model each at the end. Another alternative to finish the party off with is close-up magic for kids. It's all entirely up to you.
One hour parties are not usually available between 1pm and 7pm on Saturdays and Sundays.
All I need you to provide is a sturdy table of any description on which I place my magic case, and a nearby power supply.
Fees do vary depending on the day of the week and whether it's a morning or afternoon party. Please call on 07734 101 987 for my current rates or e-mail me at andy@boohiccup.com and I'll whizz my children's party entertainer prices over to you.
I ask for a deposit before the date, which is usually £50. The remainder to be paid on the day. You can pay your party deposit by bank transfer, through PalPal or by posting a cheque, and I will email you these details if you would like to confirm a party.
Please do let me know if you have any more questions, and here’s hoping your party will be the best ever!
A condensed version of the two hour party, you get the full magic show and fun balloon modelling session for the children, plus games, music, competitions and similar super party activities. Marvellous!
I can provide a one, one and a half, and two hour children's party.

Full comedy magic show, puppet appearance, balloon animals, clowning, close-up magic, games, competitions, party dancing and more!!!
Times are entirely my suggestion - I am very flexible. If there is no birthday food in the middle it doesn't matter at all, I just carry on with games and other exciting stuff straight after the magic show.
*** GREETING THE CHILDREN AND STARTING THE ENTERTAINMENT ***
I first meet and greet the children as they arrive, getting to know them by making a few balloon animals, hats and flowers, and entertaining with a few fast and funny magic tricks.
Plus a moment too where children can meet one of my puppets - usually Stinky the Bird, Colin the Raccoon or both!
*** THE MARVELLOUS COMEDY MAGIC SHOW ***
I then sit them down and launch into my marvellous comedy magic show (with loads of fun audience participation). I find 45 minutes is a good length of time in which to do a show, but I can always do longer or shorter on request.
My magic show is full of fun and it's innovative too. Most of my magic involves getting children up to help me out with my comical conjuring shenanigans, and practically all of it involves the whole audience joining in with the magic ... or telling me how to do it properly when I keep getting it wrong! I have lots of different marvellous magical routines for lots of different age ranges.
*** BALLOON ANIMALS, MODELS, HATS, WANDS AND OTHER CREATIONS ***
After the magic show, after an hour into the party, the children sit down for birthday tea as provided by the parents. I never take a break in the middle of the party while the children eat. Once the magic show has finished I go straight into entertaining round the tables (though I do need about 2 or 3 minutes first just to clear the table of magic - thanks).
I take this opportunity to make balloon models for them round the tables. My fun balloon hand-outs include dogs, cats, lions, tigers, monkeys, elephants, flying mice, rabbits, dinosaurs, horses, pigs, bees, wasps, snakes, dragons, butterflies, flowers, teddy bears, flowers, swords, fairy wings, magic wands and about seven different kinds of hat too (including my current favourite, the utterly hilarious "duck hat")
It usually takes about 30 minutes to make balloons for twenty children (some of my brilliant balloon creations take just one balloon, but many take three balloons or more). If not all the children have a balloon by the end of party food I can always make more balloons at the very end of the party and play games for a slightly shorter time.
If there's time, I often also entertain with clowning-style tomfoolery round the tables, and close-up magic for kids.
*** PARTY GAMES, COMPETITIONS, PARTY DANCING ***
After the birthday tea - and probably birthday cake too - I play some great party games. I provide my own super sound system for musical games and competitions. Also, if you'd like it, dancing and singing too (popular with girls and young children, not so much with older boys!). I can also provide a parachute for parachute games too if there's room for it.
Children love my parties, and parents love them just as much too.
A fun comedy magic show with audience participation (usually 45 minutes, though can be longer or shorter on request)
Brilliant balloon modelling - animals, hats, flowers, people, dinosaurs and many more.
A jolly puppet appearance (bird and/or raccoon)
Fantastic games (I bring my own proper music system), party dancing, singing for younger children, parachute games if there's room.
Close-up magic for kids - coins, sponge balls, pens, pencils, marshmallows, bits out a washing machine, eggs, pepper, salt and other bizarre bits and pieces.
