It's getting closer to graduation for seniors...thinking about proms, caps and gowns, and after graduation parties called Project Graduation. These are amazing celebrations set up by parents to keep their children safe (it's a chem free party.) Interactive entertainment like a hypnotist or a roaming magician are almost always the top 2 requested and loved entertainers! It's because we are engaging the seniors into the fun and they get to be a personal part of the performances. Having entertained for more than 20 years at over 200 project graduations I have seen lots of fun activities and entertainment (not to… Read More...
Do you realize different children learn differently? They Do! Some children learn from reading, some from listening/hearing, other's from visual, and other still from participation (hands on involvement.) Why is it important to know how you child learns? Because once you know what helps them learn you can help exhilarate their knowledge and grow in skills, information, & knowledge. If your child is a auditory learner- then a camp/activity that is more lecture based will delight them Maybe a library/book club camp. If your son or daughter is a visual learner then watching/observing a sport camps like hockey is a… Read More...
Learning the 'art of magic' used to be pasted down from magician to magician, if you didn't already have knowledge & skills you could not find someone in the know to share info, ideas, and tricks with you. Today's generation is quick to learn on Youtube a trick or two. The plus to that is its instantaneous, the downside is you might be learning/watching someone who isn't a good instructor/teacher. Or worse they teach incorrectly and you learn/practice the wrong techniques and now have to unlearn all the bad habits! Learning any new skill or technique requires a good coach.… Read More...
For young kids many things seem 'magical', from planes flying in the air, flowers growing each season, to their parents or grandparents pulling a coin from their ear! Learning should be fun, and now add to the mix a topic that all kids (boys & girls) love...MAGIC! What makes leaning magic fun? Many reasons I'll just go into a couple... the feeling of knowing a secret and performing that secret in a way that is fun, engaging, and often brings the sound of laughter and or clapping.

A company's best resource is their employees! The knowledge, skills, and work ethics they bring to the workplace creates a stronger company. During the holidays is the perfect time to thank them for all their hard work. The question becomes how might you thank them? Use your creativity and perhaps do the 12 days of Christmas theme and give the office 12 days in Dec. gift certificates to their favorite coffee house, have breakfast catered, perhaps give them a half day off, and have some entertainment brought in to liven up the office party. I've seen offices bring in carolers… Read More...
Halloween is a time for ghost, witches, goblins, wizards (Yes, Harry Potter), and magicians!

How do you know what kinds of activities and entertainment to choose for the seniors at their high school chem free party? A mixture of both is often a great solution. Some activities that allow the graduates to interact with each other thru games, inflatables, etc... and entertainers. You want to have some professional entertainers so the kids can kick back and enjoy the fun (it's a long night.) Make sure the entertainers you are considering have videos of them with the seniors; and then compare those with others w/ videos and go with the best reactions and skill/entertainment value!… Read More...
