FAQ's
Close-Up vs Magic Show - What's the difference?
In close-up magic, the magician performs a short set of magic (3-5 minutes) for a handful of guests at a time. This versatile form of magic is great for kids AND adults! It also works great if there's not enough space for a show or if there will be too many distractions/other activities going on nearby to create an optional show environment.
In contrast, the magic show is a 45-minute scripted show with jokes, slightly bigger props, and some puppetry. The magic show also includes magic wands and souvenir booklets for each child (first 40 kids).
What's the booking process?
To book online, first enter the zip code of the event venue. Then select your service and enter the requested info. Then you'll enter your credit card for the booking deposit. And then we'll be all set for your event!
We will personally review your reservation and in 48 hours or less, you will receive an email from us confirming your reservation. Three days after your event, we will charge the remaining amount to your card on file.
What if I need to cancel later?
You can easily cancel or reschedule any time before the event and receive a full refund.
Is tipping required?
No, tipping is never required nor expected. But it is always appreciated! If you have more than one artist, any gratuity will be split evenly amongst your artists unless otherwise specified.
Can I book your services last minute?
Booking is generally limited to 48 hours before the event. Last-minute booking cannot be guaranteed, but it doesn't hurt to ask!
Do you do events outside your 35-mile radius?
Yes! We would be glad to perform for your event. Just contact us with the specifics of your event and we'll get back with a custom quote.
How long should I book for?
For face painting we recommend booking at least 1 hour for every 15 guests (that want to get their face painted).
For balloon twisting, we recommend booking at least 1 hour per 20 guests (that want a balloon). We average 3 minutes per balloon or 20 per hour max. Generally you don't need to worry about booking too much time. We have had one balloon twister fill 2 hours with only 5 guests by adding complexity and giving out seconds/thirds, etc. One the other side, we can also create about 60 balloon dogs and swords in one hour.
For close-up magic, we recommend booking at least 1 hour per 30 guests (that want to interact with the magician).
What happens if more kids unexpectedly show up?
No worries! Our service size is just a recommendation for getting the best designs out of our artists. Our artists can adapt on the fly and simplify their art to fit more kids into the allotted time. Our artists are often unable to extend due to their busy schedules, but it doesn't hurt to ask them!
