You can tell Perry is a real artist. Each balloon piece was made with so much care and skill, and he was so patient, kind, and wonderful with the children. The kids were mesmerized watching him bring their requests to life, and the excitement when they received their balloons was priceless. If you're planning a party or event for kids, I can't recommend Perry enough. His balloon art is exquisite and added so much joy and magic to the day. Easily a 5-star experience!

With each slight of hand and glimpse of his craft, I began to understand what I so foolishly forgot: life is strange and amazing, but it can also be magical. I laughed, lived, and wondered. Truly the night was different in ways I can't put to words. Thank you Perry. For a moment I'll never forget, and for showing me the true magic inside all of us. #PinoyPride #supportLocal

Alex helped us at our daughter's birthday party and I was thoroughly impressed. He was much more…read moreentertaining than I expected. He was very engaging with the audience and his act was entertaining for both kids and adults alike. I truly felt like he not only performed magic, but delivered an entertainment experience inclusive of music, humor, magic, and enthusiasm. Both the kids and adults at the party mentioned they enjoyed the show. There were about 50 adults and 25 kids/babies ranging in age from under 1 to about 8 years old. The majority of the kids were in the 3-6 age range. In addition he stayed after to do balloons for the kids. The kids really enjoyed the balloons and the interaction as he was entertaining for the people waiting as well. After the performance and balloons he stayed longer and did additional tricks at the table, spend time with guests, show additional tricks, and teach people a bit about magic. This was definitely above and beyond what we were expecting. Overall our experiences with Alex were exceptional. I would recommend Alex if you're looking for a magician.

And as a bonus, he did balloon animals too. If you're looking for a magician for a party, look no further. Germar delivered on every level and then some. We can't recommend him enough!

I have to give Kari a big 5 stars for the way they handled the negative situation from my…read moredaughter's birthday party. Not only did Kari reimburse me for the cost of the original party she offered me a free 2 hour party to show us what they can be like. We have an annual NYE party where we count down at 9pm so the kids can all bring in the New Year but the parents can get them to bed by 10pm. I asked Kari if she would be willing to come out on NYE, thinking she would say no, but she didn't, she said yes. I will admit I was hesitant. I was a little worried but I figured it would keep the kids occupied. Hannah, our performer, called me 30 minutes earlier than our planned start time just to let me know she was already in the area and could start early if I wanted, but didn't have to. I had her still come at 6:30 since most of our guests wouldn't be there by then. She had an adorable 70's flashy disco diva outfit on, which the kids loved. She was TERRIFIC. She kept those kids entertained for a full 2 hours! They loved her. Her magic show was awesome, her enthusiasm was great, and her professionalism and ability to stay in character was top notch. The parents were so impressed and happy with her! I am happy to make my first post of 2013 a positive follow up for Kari's Magic Parties and I am seriously thinking about having them come back next NYE! Thank you Kari for following through and showing me how great you guys can be,

I initially contacted another party performer after reading some troublesome reviews of character…read moremixups and no shows and no refunds. But because that other performer was already fully booked, i ended up going with Kari's magic parties per recommendation of my nursing school classmate. I sent my inquiry 3-4 weeks before the party via email because their website was in construction I think at the time. When they told me they had an availability I was elated. They told me that the performer was supposed to call me by 5 pm the day before the party. The days leading up to the party I totally forgot about the performer. To my pleasant surprise miss Sarah called the day before the party. Initially the services I wanted were face painting and balloons and a sing a long. She told me since we had her for 2 hrs and only about 10-15 kids I could add another service. Since my daughter was 2 and the kids were aged 2-9 she recommended toddler time which entailed "head shoulders, knees, and toes". That sounded awesome since my daughter loves those songs but I opted for the magic show option so that the adults and older children would be entertained as well. The day of the party she arrived perfectly on time. As soon as she entered everyone was in awe of Miss Sarah's beauty. She embodied Elsa PERFECTLY. We had the movie playing during the party and some younger children actually thought she stepped out of the tv and through the front door! Lol. She asked for a place to paint and a cup of water and off she went. She stayed in character the entire time. Everyone young and old enjoyed her magic show. And she was there to cut the cake with us. She posed with EVERYONE and was so pleasant! She was very easy to talk to and kept asking if there was anything more she could do. Overall I am so thankful for Sarah and Kari's Magic Parties for the wonderful experience. Sarah had a very important job of bringing the party to life as Queen Elsa and that's EXACTLY what she did! Highly recommended and am excited to work with them again in the near future!

He was perfectly on time, set up the event professionally, was respectful and kind with all ages, and made everyone at the party laugh a ton. I had a very modest space and he handled that really well. I would book John again in a heartbeat. We went with the full hour so I didn't have to get goodie bags (he did balloons for everyone and gave a magic trick to-go). That felt like a smart economical move, and I don't regret it.

The magicians weren't just talented, they were super engaging, interactive, and attentive to everyone around them. It's rare to find something that's just as entertaining for adults as it is for kids, but they nailed it perfectly. The table-side magic was unreal. Watching tricks happen right in front of you makes you question everything--in the best way possible. The staff were fantastic, and the service was smooth and welcoming the entire time. You can tell they genuinely care about the experience and about preserving the culture of magic, not just performing it. This isn't just a show--it's an experience you don't want to miss. If you're in the Bay, you NEED to go here.

My best friend hired Boswick to perform at her daughter's 3rd birthday party at Dolores Park, and…read morehe was fantastic! First, Boswick is a true professional. It was a very hot day, and all the kids were originally seated facing the sun, before starting his show, he had the parents turn the children around so they wouldn't be staring into the sunlight. That spoke volumes about his experience. Boswick had so many tricks up his sleeve and kept the kids engaged and laughing throughout. The birthday girl (as is perfectly appropriate for her age!) wandered off midway through, but the older kids were totally captivated the entire time. When the balloon-making began, she came right back, a perfect ending to the performance. Even the adults were entertained! Boswick effortlessly switches between engaging 3-year-olds, 7-year-olds, and adults alike with his humor and charm. As a teacher, I really appreciated his ability to manage a crowd and keep everyone entertained. Other nearby parties had a jump house and a traveling petting zoo with a runaway turtle, but Boswick was by far the highlight of the park. Overall, we were impressed. I would recommend Boswick for any kids' event.

Even though the kids were pretty rowdy and full of energy, Skip handled everything with so much patience and creativity. I couldn't even keep them calm myself, but Skip managed to engage and contain the group perfectly. My daughter tends to get anxious when there's a lot of noise and movement, but Skip was so attentive and made sure she had her space and could still enjoy the show. It really meant a lot to me that my daughter felt comfortable enough to laugh, smile, and participate at her own pace. The face painting was beautiful, the show was fun and engaging, and there were plenty of giggles all around. Some of the adults could've done a better job respecting the show, but Skip stayed professional and kept things going smoothly. I truly appreciate that level of patience and skill. I'll definitely book again in the future,maybe something smaller next time with one or two of my daughter's friends so she can interact more. Overall, it was a great experience and I highly recommend Dream Top Entertainment!
