When you are looking for a childs entertainer such as a magician for your next party, you know that all the pressure is on you. You have to find the right childs entertainer, hire him, then make sure that all goes well at the party. This is in addition to all the other thousands of details that already have you pulling your hair out. You are not alone, there are thousands of parents just like you out there who are trying to find the same kind of childs entertainer that you are. If you follow these pointers, and make sure that you look for two key elements for your childs entertainer to have on party day, I believe you will be successful (measured by your kids smiles!).
First, professionalism. Your childs entertainer should be on time (this includes being on time for the interview), and he should be prepared. There is no excuse for tardiness when you are providing a service, and this includes magic for kids. If you allow it, you will regret it.
Second, demand. If the entertainer has a schedule that is pretty open, you should worry. How can a good childs entertainer be that available? This is a direct measure of his popularity, and thus his success in entertaining the kids.
You have to ask yourself what you really want. Do you want a halfway magic show that leaves your kids bored and restless? Then don’t follow these two steps.
