Carroll Baker Birthday Party Magic
About me

Hi, I'm Carroll Baker

I am a comedy magician and mind reader in Columbus, Ohio. I have been performing full time since 1991, and I have been hooked on magic since I was six years old.

What I do

I perform comedy magic for children's birthday parties, Cub Scout Blue and Gold banquets and Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, in Columbus and all over Ohio. In more than 35 years I have performed more than 10,000 shows, for audiences from age 3 to 103.

At a birthday party, the birthday child is the star. They help me through the tricks and get the biggest moment of the show. I learn the children's names and use them, and every child who comes up to help gets their own moment to shine. The show is sensory friendly, so every child in the room can enjoy it.

At the Ultimate Show, the birthday child makes Orchid the rabbit appear, and then every child gets a turn to pet her.

I also teach

I run magic classes and camps for Bexley Recreation, the Wellington School and Columbus Academy, so a room full of children is familiar ground. I have written three books, one of them, Math-a-Magic, about making math fun.

If your child does not love it, you pay nothing

That is the whole guarantee. No small print, no conditions. I have been doing this full time for over 35 years and nobody has ever asked me to honor it.

Planning something else?

Birthday parties are one part of what I do. Each of these has its own site:

Check your date

Tell me about the party

The date, the age of the birthday child and roughly how many children. I will come straight back to you with whether I am free and what it costs. Most parents hear back the same day, often within the hour.

Would rather just talk? Call or text me.
