The questions parents actually ask

An area about 8 feet by 8 feet is ideal, with room in front of that for the children to sit. Every home is different and my goal is to cause as little disruption as possible. Nothing in the show is messy and nothing can damage your home.

Nothing at all. I arrive completely self-contained and bring all the tables and equipment the show needs.

I arrive about twenty minutes before the show is due to start, and it takes me around ten minutes to pack up at the end.

Indoors is much better. It is a more controlled space, so the show plays better and the children stay focused rather than being pulled in ten directions.

There is also the rabbit to think about. Indoors is better for her health and comfort, and she is part of the Ultimate Show. Tell me your setup and I will be honest with you about whether it will work.

I can entertain any group of children from age 3 to 103, which is only half a joke. The comedy is written so the grown-ups in the room enjoy it as much as the children do.

For older children there is a separate close-up show built for ages 13 and up, using cards, coins, ropes and borrowed objects. It suits a tween or teen party far better than a show aimed at little ones.

Yes. A deposit holds your date and time, which matters because my calendar fills up. Final payment is due on the day of the party, and for your convenience I accept cash, credit, debit, Venmo and PayPal.

Yes, please do. There are plenty of great moments to capture and a lot of parents are glad afterward that they did.

Nobody is ever put on the spot. The show is sensory friendly, so nothing is loud or startling, and no child is ever made the joke. Children who start off hiding behind a parent usually end up in the front row by the end, but that is their choice and not mine.

That is the whole point. On both of my shows the birthday child helps me through the tricks and gets the big finish. On the Ultimate Show, they are the one who makes the live rabbit appear, in front of every friend they invited.

I also learn the children's names and use them during the show.

I am based in Columbus and I work all over Ohio. Tell me where you are and I will tell you straight away whether it works.

Then you pay nothing. That is my guarantee, with no small print and no conditions. I have been doing this full time for over 35 years and nobody has ever asked me to honor it.
