- Can you perform your show outdoors?
- Weather and heat permitting, yes. You need to consider shade however. Some children do not do well sitting in direct sun for the duration of the show. We, as performers, also need to be out of direct sun. Our costumes can be very warm and we don't want to attend the next party all hot and sweaty.
- Do you have a show for pre-teens and teenagers.
- Definitely. We have a totally different magic show for these type of audiences. It is more sophisticated and the magical effects are more challenging. Call us for more details.
- How early in advance should I book Ric and Kara for my entertainment?
- We book all performances on a first come first serve bases. So as soon as you know the date of your party call us to schedule your time. Due to the popularity of our performance, the earlier in advance you call the better chance you have of getting the time you want. You can book us up to 1 year in advance, and some have.
- How much room do you need for your show?
- An area as little as 5 feet wide and 7 feet deep will do. Also, we prefer an area where no one can sit, stand or walk behind us during the show. We don't want to give away any secrets now do we. So up against a wall, fireplace or fence would work well.
- What age group is your birthday party show for?
- Our unique children's birthday party show is routined for ages 4 years old and up. However, the birthday child can be younger. Many birthday parties are held for ages 1-3 years old, with a guest list of children 4 years old and older. The rule of thumb is: if most of the children at the party are at least 4 years old, then our show is perfect for you.
- What can we do to prepare for your arrival on the day of the party?
- Good question! Here a few things you can do that would help
1. Don't keep our show a secret. Let the kids know a real Magician is coming and let the excitement grow.
2. Don't tell the kids anything about what is in the show. Let's keep the bunny and the floating a secret.
3. Do save a parking space in your driveway or in front of your house. We have to make several trips from the car to your home to bring in the magic show. It just takes longer if we have to park down the street.
4. Do have the performance area ready for our arrival. We need at least a 7 x 5 area. (7 feet deep x 5 feet wide)
- What form of payment do you accept?
- We accept Cash, checks and on-line payment with PayPal, as well as Visa, MasterCard. A non-refundable reservation fee is paid to hold the date and time for your party with the balance due on the day of your party.
- When is the best time to start my child's birthday party?
- Try not to send your invitations until you have confirmed a date and time with the us. Sometimes we will be working another party within a short distance of your home, and could entertain your party if you are able to be flexible with your time. This is a simple matter if the invitations have not yet gone out.
Saturdays and Sundays are busy days for us. If you want a show on these days, we suggest you call us to book 3 weeks or more in advance. Other considerations may be to plan your party for a weekend morning, late afternoon or early evening. We have seen a lot of successful parties at these times. Some people have even booked us for early weeknights and still had a good guest turnout and lots of fun.
