Birthday parties are one of the best times to celebrate with your friends and family, especially when your children are getting older. To make sure that you throw the best party imaginable, it’s always advised that you try to hire some type of entertainment. With face painting, it gives kids a fun activity that they can enjoy while giving parents time to mingle. There are dozens of reasons as to why you should be looking into finding a face painter for your next birthday party.

It’s Fun!

To put it simply, having a face painter is fun for all of the kids that are attending the party. It’s an additional activity that they can participate in that will help to bring them into the party spirit. In fact, hiring a face painter can be so exciting for kids of all ages that your child’s birthday will be the talk of their class for months to come. Your child will surely appreciate the amazing effort that you put into hiring entertainment.

Easy and Efficient

A professional face painter is trained to help make your party easy and efficient, as they will entertain your guests when you might be busy with preparing the food or getting the presents together. There won’t be a lull in activity with the help of a face painter because they will be able to set up their station and offer unique entertainment throughout the entirety of your event. It’s an incredibly simple way to have something for your guests to do without having to put too much effort into planning.

Creative and Exciting

Kids love nothing more than creativity, especially when it comes to them being able to pick out the type of design that they want to have painted on their faces. It’s a way for them to express their individual interests and feel special. When you hire a professional face painter your children will be able to choose designs ranging from a cute butterfly to their favorite superhero. They’ll be able to show off their cool design to all of their friends during the party and feel unique.

Hiring a face painter is one of the best ways to turn your child’s birthday party from bland to amazing. Not only will the children have a great time, but the parents will be able to appreciate seeing their children happier than ever before.

When you have a children’s party you want to be sure you offer them some entertainment for the afternoon. Children get bored and restless very easily and they need something to keep them occupied, otherwise they get outright irritated. Keeping children occupied can also keep them from fighting or feeling lonely for their parents when they’re at the party.

A birthday party magic show is a good choice, and you may think you can put on one yourself. There are kits you can purchase from party supply stores and instructions to follow online to put on a magic show, but it’s good to consider a few important tips for making your party a success.

1. Keep it age-appropriate.

If you’re putting on a birthday party magic show for a very young audience, remember that they may get frightened at the idea of someone being locked in a box or sawed in half. These are not good tricks for your young crowd! It’s best to stick with simple card tricks or sleight of hand. For older children, they will want something more complicated and more difficult to follow as they will easily figure out the simple tricks and in turn, they’ll get bored. Keep a show age-appropriate for the most success.

2. Keep it safe.

It’s more dangerous than you may realize to work with fire, even for a simple trick. Avoid using flash paper or any tricks that involve flames or anything else that’s dangerous. Most trained magicians have years and years of practice and experience in working with open fires or other dangerous tricks, so don’t think you can learn them in just a few weeks leading up to a party. Keep yourself, the children, and your home safe by finding other tricks you can do.

3. Rehearse and then rehearse some more.

Professional magicians are good at what they do because they work hard at their craft, and rehearse many hours every day. To make your birthday party magic show a success, you need to do the same. Don’t assume you can take home a magic kit and pull it out of the box and learn it in front of the kids.

It may also be worth your time to simply hire a professional. This will ensure you get a good show and one that is age-appropriate and safe as well.

If you’ve seen a party magician in the last 40 years, you’ve probably seen a lot of the same tricks. They’re standard classics that continue to dazzle kids, so all the magicians do them. What sets party magicians apart is the performance and delivery. Louis the Magician is one of the most entertaining performers I’ve seen, and his take on the classics make him a standout in a crowded field.

He performed at my 5-year old son’s birthday party this weekend. He has constructed a show that not only amazed the kids, but had the grownups howling with laughter. He’s every bit as much an adult comedian as a children’s magician, and has managed to weave the two skills together in a seriously entertaining package. It’s a hard skill, and he’s mastered it in his writing and delivery.

Before his performance, a parent told me that she’s seen party magicians before, and that kids start to get bored, and she worried that a 45 minute show was much too long. The kids had just taken a train ride through the park, so they’d been sitting and hadn’t had a chance to run around yet. I was worried she was right. So I told Louis, “Look, these kids might be antsy and have a hard time sitting still. If you feel like you’re starting to lose them, you have my permission to wrap up early. I’m fine with that.” He told me, “It’ll never happen.” And he was right. The kids were so into the show, having such a good time, I think he could have gone another 15 minutes and they still would have been in rapture.

I could continue, but the bottom line is: I highly recommend Louis the Magician. Hire him for your party.
