“Reasonably priced, highly interactive, lots going on – no slow parts, new tricks I haven’t seen – none of the old stale tricks that show up in lots of magic shows. You were prompt, organized and professional. Thank you!” – Joan Johnsen
Fun Magician for Children
Many magicians have trouble entertaining and controlling audiences of mostly children. Why? They treat the children as if they are miniature adults. Too many magicians use material that is not age-appropriate, doesn’t engage the children, or has an “I fooled you” attitude. Hence, these end up not keeping the children’s interest during the magic show.
Charlie understands what kids think is funny. How? Because, he has performed thousands of magic shows for children, families, and his own grandchildren.
So, Charlie has experience knowing what makes children laugh, what keeps them interested and involved throughout the magic show.
“I thought you did a very nice job. As a parent who has hired you twice, the thing that stands out is that you’re very professional and kind. You really seem to enjoy what you do. Your show is constantly moving to keep the children’s interest/attention. I love that you include every guest and include them into your various tricks. Music, sound effects, and microphone are all positive additions. Thank you Very, Very much!” – Jenny Rohlfer

“The children were totally immersed for 45 minutes! It was one of the easiest parties I’ve had. All I did was send out the invitations and provide the cake and ice cream. I didn’t have to keep track of kids, tokens and pizza!” – Sabrina Hall
