Magic Show
“The real magic wand is the child’s own mind.” This is a valuable quote from the Spanish philosopher, Jose Ortega y Gasset, and one that emphasizes how precious children are. Toddlers love to play, and they are certainly fascinated with things that can’t be explained yet brings immense joy. That is perhaps the best reason why magic shows never get old with children. A magic comedy show is one of the most-sought after attractions in any event attended by kids. An entertaining magic show for the kids can truly make your celebration a huge success for the families.
Magic shows are always fun to watch, especially for children who view the world with open minds and overwhelming imaginations. However, to keep not only the kids but all the guests attuned, a magic show should be more extravagant. No, I am not talking about using big or expensive equipment. Rather, about creating a fun environment with a magic show. To achieve that exact goal, I usually turn my magic show into a magic comedy show—a combination of magic tricks and humor. This type of magic performance is usually more appreciated as it not only brings a sense of awe but also bursts of laughter.
For birthday parties, my magic comedy show for children is even more magical by making the birthday child the star of the show. Other kids and guests may participate, but the birthday boy or girl will be the one to hold the magical wand and make the tricks happen. As a children’s entertainer, I include a wide array of tricks in my magic show to tickle the minds of guests, regardless of their age. With my magic tricks, you can guarantee the children will be in awe while teens and adults will feel happy and entertained throughout the show. To give you a good idea of how fun my magic show can be, here’s two of the tricks that never fail to amuse participants and viewers alike:
Transforming Beads
This trick might look simple to some, but it requires stealth and perfect timing for it to bring surprise and smiles to those who see it. For this trick, here’s what I do: first, I bring out a set of gold beads, placed neatly in a glass jar. I then take out an empty black pouch and pour the beads into it. With some good shake and chant and the right magic words, out flies a gold necklace. The transformation of simple beads into a necklace is then completed!
Magical Balloons
Balloons are very fragile things and a needle certainly spells death for them. My magical balloon trick shows how a balloon can be invincible and then fragile. How do I do that? First, I blow up a round clear balloon, then whip out a long sharp needle through it. The audience is now holding their ears thinking the balloon will pop but it does not! While the audience is in awe, I then throw this balloon up in the air and lightly poke it with the needle and it pops!
