Parents, Do you want
the very best for your children?
If so,
you can now hire the National Champion of Magic at the same fee
as ordinary magicians.

It's well known that kids make great participants
but are rarely good spectators. What they really want is to get
involved and be in the middle of the action. Every show I do
is built with this concept in mind. That is, to let the children
participate as much as possible. All shows are funny and are
tailor made to fit the age and interests of the children, as
well as the types of parties (birthday party, magic theme parties,
barmitzvah, batmitzvah, school show, Day Camps etc).
Every child gets to help the magician during the
magic show. They not only see the magic, they experience it.
Small red balls are made to magically vanish and reappear right
in their hands, or sometimes a mysterious bright red electric
light is taken from their ears, only to vanish when they are
handed to the birthday child.. Red silk scarfs appear and disappear,
Pom Poms rise fall and float magically for no apparent reason.
Comedy magic is used for lots of fun and laughter. The birthday
child is featured throughout the magic show and is the subject
of the grand finale. If your child likes Harry Potter he will
love this show.
I perform mostly in Greater Los Angeles, Los Angeles
and in Southern California and have very reasonable rates. We
also can provide (optional) party favor or goody bags called
"Bag of Trix"®
which have 26, or different tricks. These are used for Wizard
and Magic Theme Parties (see menu). Also be sure to see our Free
Party Supply page where you will find FREE Party Invitations,
Party Games, Free Prizes, Free Party Wizard Hats and much, much
more . Click in menu at left side of this page. Here are just
some of the featured birthday party magic tricks I use (or don't
use) depending on the child's age and at your option. Please
discuss them with Magic Bob.
Some of
the Material used in the shows:*
|
|
A Full Vanish: The birthday child is vanished right
in front of his friends. (and brought back). *Some limitations
apply.
Prince Turned Into Frog.
The fairy tale of the handsome Prince who
was turned into an ugly jumping Frog
by a Wicked Witch and then magically saved by a beautiful Princess
who kisses him. Great for girl's birthday parties. Some limitations
apply.
Three Little Pigs. For
the very young: The story of the Three Little
Pigs with lots of participation by the children who are
taught the Knock Knock game as the Wolf comes to the door. At
the climax The Big Bad Wolf very magically winds up in the pot
of stew in the fireplace.
Jack and the Bean Stalk Jack
plants the seeds and to the kid's delight, what appears to be
an eight foot tall bean stalk grows right in your living room.
Little Miss Muffett. For
the even younger children I do the Nursery Rhyme, Little
Miss Muffett. A symbolic spider
walks with a Boing, Boing Boing. The kids get involved by going
Boing, Boing Boing as the Spider walks. A Spider web is made
which magically falls apart then vanishes to the surprise and
delight of the children
Decapitation:
A child is beheaded. (not really). It's all in good fun and nothing
is scary, dangerous or fearful.
The Story of William Tell complete
with the apple on the assistants head. Again great fun, comedy,
lots of laughs and absolutely no danger (not even an arrow).
It is however , great magic and you'll love it. Some limitations
apply.
Harry Potter : This is a
Detective Story acted out at Hogwarts Castle. Each child is sworn
in as a Deputy Sheriff Wizard and helps to magically bring to
justice the notorious Carrot Bandit (alias the 'Funny Bunny').
Highly animated, absolutely hilarious, with the Bunny appearing,
disappearing and mysteriously moving about. Ultimately the Bunny
is brought to justice. The kids love it and you will too. Magic
Bob recently performed this piece on ABC TV.
Levitation. A member of
the audience is caused to rise up two or three feet and float
in mid air, then is gently and safely lowered to the floor. No
apparatus or equipment is used. Seems utterly impossible. *Some
age and statgeing limitations apply.
The birthday child is turned into
a full fledged Magician who performs a high level
trick seen frequently at the Magic Castle, in Hollywood. However
when he gets done, even though he does it in his own hands, he
hasn't the slightest idea of how he did it. A really great photo
opportunity and something you and your child will remember for
years.
First birthday parties. We
even have a routine that features the one year old in his mother's
arms. We turn him into a "Star". This is a great opportunity
to take a fun photograph which you will remember for years.
Bar/Bat Mitvahs We have
a special routine which we do with the Bar/Bat Mitzvah child
where he or she does a magic trick where a page of news paper
magically turns from a five pointed star to a six pointed star.
This is a great photo opportunity.
Cup and Ball. This
is the oldest Magic Trick known to the Wonderful Art of Magic.
It is a pure classic and every child should see it and experience
its wonder.
* Each of the above have certain age and staging or
other limitations. NOTE:
The above is not intended as a Menu from which you may construct
your own show. A few of these reuire an additional
fee. Please discuss these with Magic Bob when booking.
