Yes! Many clients book our magic show along with face painting and balloon twisting to keep kids entertained for their entire event. And even if you book multiple services, it's a great deal as you'll only be charged one booking fee per event.

We accept bookings on a first-come, first-served basis so we recommend securing your date as soon as possible. We generally recommend booking at least 2–4 weeks in advance, especially for weekends when demand is high.

If you’re planning a birthday party or school event during busy seasons (spring and fall), it’s best to secure your date as early as possible to guarantee availability. You can book as early as 4 months in advance and as late as 48 hours in advance (if there is still availability).

• Balloon Twister → $99/hour*

*Plus a one-time booking fee of $30 per event

Our services are generally designed for kids ages 3–8, though older kids and adults enjoy them too! Since the magic show relies heavily on audience interaction, it's recommend primarily for audiences where at least 50% of the kids will be 3.5 years old or older - for the best experience.

Yes. We provide everything our artists will need including tables, chairs, and for the magic show, a blanket for the kids to sit on and sound equipment as needed. You only have to provide the space and the excited guests!

Yes. We carry a $1M General Liability Insurance Policy for your peace of mind.

Yes! We can perform indoors or outdoors and do not require any access to electrical power.

Tipping is not required or expected, but always appreciated! 100% of tips go directly to the artists. If there are parking fees to access your event, covering that cost is expected. After your event, we'll email you an option to add a tip before finalizing payment.

If more guests arrive than expected, our artists will do their best to simplify designs so as to get to as many kids as possible within the allotted time.

You are also welcome to ask the artist directly if they can extend their time.
