A magician for young children in Toronto, at a birthday, a daycare or a family event, needs a show built for their age: short, visual, and with plenty of chances to join in. Plan the ages, the length and the room, then send us your date, venue and guest count, and you can compare options with prices for magicians who are available that day.
A show for the age
Tell the magician the children’s ages and how many are coming. Ask how they change the show for the youngest, and what they do if a child gets upset or wants to go back to a parent.
How long
Ask how long the show runs. Tell the magician what happens before and after it, such as food, cake or outdoor play, so the show fits in.
Where the children sit
Ask where the children should sit, such as on the floor at the front with adults behind. Ask how much space the magician needs, and whether they need a table or power for music.
Helpers from the audience
Ask how the magician chooses helpers from the audience, so as many children as possible get a turn, and how they include shy children without putting them on the spot.
Materials, allergies and checks
If the show uses balloons, bubbles or animals, ask in advance. If a child has a latex allergy, ask about balloons. Ask whether the magician has a vulnerable sector check, especially for a daycare or a school.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is your show built for children of this age?
- How long is the show, and what happens if a child gets upset?
- Where should the children sit, and how much space do you need?
- How do you choose helpers, and include shy children?
- Do you use balloons, bubbles or animals?
- Do you have a vulnerable sector check?
- When will you arrive, and how long do you need to set up?
What changes the price
The price depends on how long the show runs, the number of children, whether it’s a Saturday or in the holiday season, and travel outside Toronto.
