Thank you Total Kids Entertainment for sending my nephew's 1st birthday & guests an "entertainer" who is mute and could barely grab the kids' attention. We had a mic available for use yet she does not take advantage of it. Help us help you...cuz she Obviously... OBVIOUSLY needed one. We were sent a "newbie" for a discount of $25...LOL!! Please hire someone who actually loves their job and has many tricks up their sleeves. What I read from the website's package options was not what I had expected it to be during its Live prformance. Was the show just creating regular sword & flower balloons? Dang!!! Make a couple of animal balloons at least just to make the children SUPER happy....Damn you. Give me a day in advanced and I can learn all( Possibly MORE ) of what she did with the help of Youtube and Google. THANKS YOUTUBE & GOOGLE !!! So not worth $180 ( not including the large tip ) Maybe $10 worth ...for the trip and showing up ...I guess ?? Rest In Peace $$$. My gas tank would love you more. Baibai. read more

I would highly recommend this company for a kid's party! Dave did our party for approximately 20 kids mostly 6 and under. The kids did not leave his side and were entertained with everything that he did. We chose the magic, games, and balloon twisting for the party. He played kid friendly music for the entire 90 minutes, and his minion costume was a huge hit with the kids as well. It was pretty authentic looking and there was even a random parent and kid (not from our party) trying to snap photos with him as he was leaving. Dave was very professional, on time, and receptive to all calls and questions that I had prior to and during the party. I would definitely hire him again. read more

Reasonable priced, and good for last minute needs!! Dave was awesome and came through when we needed him!!

This is one of the best kids entertainment companies i have used ! From the first phone call with Dave to the day of our party everything was so smooth! We booked the pizzazer package for 1 1/2 hrs. The kids really enjoyed her and the best part about it was she was very accommodating with our event. We had to pull the kids away to eat lunch and she waited for 20 mins for them to finish eating and didn't ask for extra money since she stayed over the hour and a half. What great service ! They are highly recommended to anyone !! read more

Wow wow wow!!!! I recently had my sons first birthday and called Dave about a week before. I completely forgot about entertainment. He assured me a woman named Janice is wonderful and will be at our party... Well come Sunday it ends up being 105 degrees at the park for his birthday and my little guests were quite miserable. The playground was even too hot to play on... Until Janice showed up! She was so sweet and SO into entertaining all of the kids! I had ages 1-9 and they were all VERY entertained! Wow I cannot thank Janice enough for saving the day what a wonderful day it was! Thank you Dave I cannot wait to use your company again! read more

I rented Mickey Mouse costume for my Grandson 1st Birthday party. All the kids loved it. It was a pleasant experience working with Dave. The pick up and drop off went without any delays, hassle free. If you need a character costume I highly recommend calling Dave. read more

We surprised our grandkids and their parents with Dave's magic show and it was a HUGE HIT! He entertained and surprised the 19 "kids" in our family, from 4 years to 74 years-old. He included all ages in the magic acts and made special balloon characters for everyone. Dave was especially generous after the show, hanging out for a few minutes to share some magic tips with the young teens in our family. We recommend Dave without hesitation! read more

I just want to say thank you Dave for making Reign's birthday memorable you were amazing with both the kids and adults you were the life of the party. He is great and extremely flexible and patient i couldnt have asked for more. Trust me book him you wont regret it and the price is great read more

We hired Dave perform a magic show and balloon twisting for a joint 6th birthday party and he was a HIT!!! Not only did he make two birthday boys feel equally special, but he also handled a very large crowd of around 40 kids, plus parents too. He was very interactive, engaging, personable, and FUN. We'd definitely recommend him and would absolutely hire him again!! read more

We hired Dave for a company picnic to entertain the kids. He was wonderful the kids had a great time watching the magic, chasing bubbles and playing with balloon animals. I have to admit the adults were laughing as well. He kept the kids entertained for an hour and let me tell you there were various ages so that is no easy feat. Overall it was very enjoyable, and Dave made the entire process easy. Well worth it and I would recommend anyone wanting a magician for a children's event give him a call. read more

Dave is amazing! The kids at the party absolutely loved him. He is engaging from beginning to end. His magic tricks are incredible--I am still trying to figure out how he does nearly all of them. And his interactive games were great to keep all the kids part of the party together. Thanks Dave! We highly recommend him. (And his rates are really good.) read more

David came to my son's 5 years old party, at which there were ~45 kids. David was amazing!!! He was able to captivate them for 1.5-2 hours. He had the kids laughing and fully engaged. Multiple parents came up to me telling me how amazing David is - and I fully agree! In addition, David is very sweet, and responds very promptly to all emails. I highly recommend David!! read more

We hired Total Kids Entertainment for my son's 5th, TMNT themed, birthday party. We were extremely happy with Dave's professionalism, flexibility, & patience. We had him do face painting, magic, & the treasurer hunt. My son absolutely LOVED the magic show. Another great thing was that he brought a portable sound system with kid music -- something that I didn't even think of having for the party. It wasn't until some of the kids started singing had it occurred to me. We highly recommend T.K.E. & anticipate using their services again in the future. read more

After reading positive reviews, we booked Dave for our daughter's third birthday party and we couldn't be happier! Dave was both punctual and professional and excellent with the children. We chose a package with balloon twisting, games and a character visit; all of which were a huge hit! It really added a special element and buzz to the party. Initially, I wasn't sure whether an hour would be long enough, but with short attention spans, it was perfect! I would definitely recommend Total Kids Entertainment, if you are looking to add something special to your event. read more

Dave is the best!! He was the highlight of my son's 7th birthday party!! His magic was age appropriate as well as his jokes. He had all eyes on him and the kids were captivated. .... adults too! We had the most amazing time because of Dave the Magician ! I highly recommend him! Thank you Dave! read more

Dave was AMAZING!!!! The kids and adults loved the show. The kids were laughing so hard the entire time - I have never seen 30 kids so engaged at one time!!! Dave did a magic show, scavenger hunt, and stayed to sing (with music he brought) Happy Birthday as well! It was the best birthday party we have ever had - and ever been to! I highly recommend him! read more

We were super happy with Dave permormance at my daughter´s birthday party. Before the party I was a bit concern about how he can entertain the kids since they were from 1 year old to 10 year old range. But Dave entertained all the kids in a best way possible. Even parents were enjoying the show. Thank you Dave for amazing performance. We will definitely call you for other parties. Keep up the good work. read more

We had my daughter's 7th birthday party on Saturday and had planned on having it outside. I was in a bit of a panic when it forecasted rain, but Dave helped alleviate my anxiety and the party was a TOTAL hit!!! The kids had so much fun and, truth be told, the adults had a blast too! I can't wait until my son's birthday so we can have Dave back. Thank you Dave!! read more

THE BEST EXPERIENCE!!! Dave went above and beyond for our boy's birthday party. He was extremely professional, and his interaction with all the children was incredible. He went out of his way to make every kid feel special, and included. He didn't watch the clock at all, and even stayed past the time I had reserved him for. The Mickey costume was incredible, and his Mickey voice was very impressive. I cannot wait to use this company again. Highly recommend them. Our guests are still raving about his appearance. Thank you Dave! read more

If I could give more stars, I would!! Dave was absolutely the best. He "pizzazed" the kids. He pizazzed the parents. Everyone was fully engaged. Dave was so amazing. He squeezed our party into his already busy schedule. (I hope you weren't late to the next party). I will certainly recommend and re-hire him! Worth every penny! Thanks a million. read more

Dave got there early to set up and stayed longer to ensure we were happy with everything he offered. He came with so many options for the kids ! The age ranges were 1-7 years old and he had something up his sleeve for everyone (including adults). The kids got balloons, a magic show, & games! It was totally worth it! 2 hours of entertainment and a visit from Elmo for our son! It's been two weeks and our boy is still explaining to us that he saw "Elmo" to us. I highly recommend him for anyone's party. Will hopefully use him again next year! We were very happy! Dave was amazing ! read more

Dave was amazing! We've had clowns and other entertainers in the past that could not keep all of the kids entertained at once and Dave blew them out of the water... balloon twisting, games, music, and a great attitude. He was flexible when not all of the kids arrived on time, stayed late, and even brought a present for our son. When "Marshall" showed up the kids went nuts!! Such a great investment - we will be calling Total Kids Entertainment again! Thanks Dave - Cameron's Mom. read more

Dave is awesome and is at home in any environment. He made our magic themed party a success. And his entertainment skills meant the hosts could relax and actually enjoy the party. Would use again! read more

What an incredible party! Dave did an AMAZING job entertaining about twenty 5-7 years olds for our daughter's 5th birthday party. Frankly he entertained quite a few grandparents too! The kids were completely enthralled the whole time. We were a little tired of all the unicorn/princess stuff and this was perfect for both the boys and girls. Thank you for such a wonderful party! read more

David did a great job at my kids birthday party ! He kept 30 kids of different ages entertained for 90 minutes !!! He made adults involved too and lots of laughter! read more

We hired TKE for our daughters 3rd Birthday Party. From the minute Dave arrived to the minute he left both Kids and Parents were captivated. Dave is professional, Punctual and worth every Penny! read more

Dave, thank you so much for a great show! You really know how to entertain kids. Sorry it was so hot that day. We truly appreciate the show you hosted. I highly recommend using Dave, and planned on using him again in the future. read more

We hosted a birthday party for our 8 year-old son and had over 20 kids attend the event. It was a lot of kids for Dave to handle and he did a great job. He kept not only the kids entertained, but also the adults. The party turned out great thanks to Dave. I highly recommend Total Kids Entertainment to anyone. read more

Captain America was awesome! Kids loved him. Stayed a little extra so every kid had a balloon! Definitely will use them again!

Dave was easy to reach and answered all my queries before the party. He arrived on time with all the equipment, and throughout the party, he kept all the kids (in an age range between 2 and 10) entertained with the variety of entertainment he provided. My son (2 yr old) loved his birthday gift. We were super happy to have him in our party. read more

We made arrangements with Dave for our son's first birthday party. From the start, Dave was easy to work with and so friendly, the kids and parents enjoyed his performance and activities. He played a parachute circle game with the kids, made animal/floral balloons, and performed as Elmo to meet/greet everyone at the party. We highly recommend him for any kids event and look forward to working with him again in the future. read more

We hired Dave for our son's baptism last week and he was amazing ! I don't know what we would have done if he wasn't there. We had over 20 kids and he kept them busy the entire time! He showed up 15-20 mins early to set up and was ready to go. He even stayed a little longer than agreed to make balloons for the kids. Loved the service! Definitely would recommend him to anyone that's looking for fun!! Thanks again Dave :) read more

Highly recommend Dave !!! ...We had a total of 15 kids at our daughters party and all of them were thoroughly entertained .....Dave wore the Minnie costume as well and my daughter was all the time grabbing Minnie's nose ...Dave is throughly professional and knows his way around with the kids ....We had booked for one and a half hours ..He performed the costume , magic show , balloon twisting and face painting over that limit and still charged us for only for one and half hours ....Worthy every penny !!! Will again use his services ........ read more

What a pleasure to do business with a professional. Dave is so courteous, returns calls promptly and lays out all your options and costs. And that is just setting up the date. He arrived on time, in costume as a Jedi and thrilled a 4 year old little girl who loves Star Wars as much as Disney princesses and Hello Kitty. He did a magic show, tied balloons, played games and painted faces for a large group of kids ranging from 2 to 8. The kids all liked him and all the parents were impressed also. So glad I decided to look on Yelp. Be sure to check out his web site and feel confident in considering him for your party. read more

Dave did a great job at my kids party! Kept a bunch of them, ages ranging from 3 to 9, entertained for almost two hours! Absolutely recommend his services. read more

Booked Dave for our son's 4th birthday and it couldn't have been a better experience. He was on time and I literally didn't need to worry about any of the kids while he was there - he captivated all of them, kept them all engaged, which is tough to do with about 15 (3-4 year olds)! He changed costumes into the Optimus Prime character, and seeing my son's face light up in awe made our day! He really knows how to work with the little ones and did such an amazing job! read more

Dave create an amazing experience. He is awesome to work with and awesome with kids. I will definitely use them again!

We had Dave come as Batman and he was incredible. The kids were completely entertained. His magic show was great and he took the time and made sure every child had a chance to participate. I cannot say enough good things about how much Dave contributed to my child having a memorable birthday. read more

We had a party for our now five-year old twins (girl and boy) this past Friday and booked Spider-Man and Elsa with Dave. The process was easy from beginning to end with scheduling, payment, etc. We ended up having more kids than we initially expected (about twenty 4-5 year olds), and they were crazy...not to mention this was before the characters showed up. The kids went absolutely mental when Spidey and Elsa showed up. I won't go into detail with everything Spider-Man and Elsa did for the hour and a half, but I can tell you that every parent that was there was highly impressed with how well Spider-Man and Elsa held the interest and kept the kids contained/controlled/corralled. All of the parents asked for Dave's information after the party and I think that speaks for itself on the level of service and entertainment you can expect when you book with Dave. We highly recommend using them and cannot thank them enough for making our kids' birthday party so very special! read more
