MAGIC AND PUPPET SHOWS AND ACTIVITY DESCRIPTIONS
All of our characters usually stay for a 90 minute visit for $195. This usually is enough time, depending on the number of children, usually with 12-18 kids we can perform either:

A Magic Show

OR

Puppet Storytelling
Face Painting Face Painting
Twisty Balloons Twisty Balloons

We can also exchange any of these activities for singing and dancing (songs like “The Hokey Pokey” and “If You’re Happy and You Know It”) or the Hula Dancer character can lead hula dances lessons or the Ballerina Fairy Princess can lead fairy ballet lessons. We are happy to add additional time to our visit if you have more guests, or want to be sure to have time for photos and special requests like being there for singing Happy Birthday!


Description of the Magic Show:
We do an ADORABLE child-centered magic show that includes things that children recognize, like Peanut Butter and Jelly that keep jumping around and bright colors that change. They are all things children can relate to and it’s developmentally appropriate and adaptable for different age levels. The show is about 25 minutes long and is even entertaining for the adults at your party because the kids says such cute things and the magic is tricky enough to stump even the adults. We perform in character the whole time, it’s really adorable. In the end she makes a magic birthday trick for the birthday child using everyone in the dreams for her/him, the birthday child can be in the show if they want to be. It’s a great show for as young as 3 because it’s colorful and kids up to about 9 enjoy it a lot. It’s the best choice when you have a very diversely aged audience. We suggest this when the audience is primarily over 4 years old. If you have a range of 1-14 years, magic is a great choice.

Description of the Puppet Storytelling Show:
We do a camp-fire style puppet story. We do not bring a formal puppet theater because it was written by a real preschool teacher and she found the kids get more into the story and interact more if they can see her face and the theater actually had more children jumping up and grabbing puppets and not having as much fun. She performs with the puppets on her lap. She tells a story about being on her way to the birthday child’s party and having lost the magic birthday gift, they look all over the forest, meet different animal puppets, make lots of animal sounds, clap their hands, shake, stomp feet and finally in the end use a magic trick to collect their dreams into making a magic birthday gift for the birthday child. It’s really fun and the kids interact a lot. She puts their suggestions right into the story. It’s great for 2 years up to about 7 years. Even kids 6-9 love it, because they use their imaginations and she’s good at putting whatever they think of into the story and using sounds and movements to bring it to life.

Face Painting:
Our performers are professional face painters, offering tons of choices such as whole butterfly faces, princess crowns, and people usually don’t know that, even as a princess, she does great Spiderman and Batman faces, she can do all kinds of designs everyone likes…Face painting makes for the best photos!

Balloon twisting:
Our performers are professional balloon twisters and do one-balloon designs so that everyone can get a turn more quickly. She can do all the balloon animals: dogs, cats, princess crowns, hearts, but she can also do airplanes (even though she may a be princess), she can twist a “tail” for them to wear if they had their face painted into a tiger or something…that is really cute! She can make balloon crowns for the princess-y guests. By the time she’s done, everyone looks really adorable. Balloons make great pictures.

Hula Dance/Ballet:
The Hula Dancer or the Ballerina Fairy Princess brings 12 little skirts for the kids to borrow and music and she leads little dance lessons really cute! **We ask you to please have a CD player for the music which we will bring, or if we must bring one with us, please let us know**
