subject: 2 Words That Can Doom Your Kid's Magic Show Party Before It Even Starts [print this page] Hiring professional magicians is necessary, but can be tough. One rule is, don't hire part timers. If you hire a magician that does this on the weekends, you almost certainly won't be happy.
Kids parties are great, but you have to have the right elements in place. If you don't you are ensuring that your kids will be disappointed. No parent wants that, but how do you keep it from happening? If you are like many thousands of parents out there, you have had a bad experience with a magician already. All it takes is one to convince you of the need for a really and truly professional magician to really get a good magic show for your kids. If you haven't had a bad experience yet, you should take my advice, and the advice of tons of parents out there and skip any short cuts and hire a good one.
This is a lot tougher than it seems, because this economy has produced a ton of people out there who are out of work , so are suddenly a magician for kids parties. How can you get around that? How can you make sure that the magician you hire for your kids party is a good one? There are many different ways, but I am going to give you two words that, if you heed them, will give you a great magician. If you ignore them, and hire a magician anyway that fits this category, you are almost certainly guaranteeing yourself a sub-par performance for your kids. More on that in a second, but first let's look at what it takes to be a really professional magician.
Dedication is important in any field, but if you don't have it in magic, you are not going to measure up. How does this affect you in your kids party? Your tricks won't be as good, your magician may not even be on time, and over all your kids won't be happy. If your magician is not really dedicated to the r craft, your results won't be good.
Two words that you don't want anywhere near the magician you choose for your kids party are these: side gig. You don't want this to be something your magician does on the side, all the while their focus and energy is directed somewhere else. Their success or failure in how they move on into their career needs to be directly connected to what they do at your party. If you stay away from part timers, you will have a much higher degree of success.
