Wow. If there's one thing you do today, book Jonathan Austin's services!!! He performed at my 25th…read morebirthday party and was incredible. He performed wonderful card tricks, did amazing juggling, and had awesome surprises in store. Above all, though, Jonathan is a genuinely kind person. He was super easy to work with, very communicative throughout the booking process, and was always organized/on top of everything. I will be recommending Jonathan Austin for years to come. 5/5 stars!!!

The show is a mix of comedy and magic with most of the big tricks at the end of the show. He included many people from the audience and even knew nearly all 20 kids names by the end of the show.

Just had my daughter's fifth birthday party here and it was magical!

The girls loved picking out a dress and getting their nails and makeup done with real makeup. The princesses are fantastic! Great voices, high quality costumes, wigs, and makeup. We had Elsa and Anna and they had such a cute entrance with so you want to build a snowman and let it go. We even had one girl a little nervous about the idea of a fashion show (which were the princesses twirling them, showing them how to curtesy, and doing a pose of a princess of choice), but they were super accommodating with her too (not everyone loves the stage!). As a parent, it was great because the princesses and staff handled serving the food and cleanup. I think most of the girls were a little star struck and acted shy, but all gushed afterwards about it being so much fun. If we had more kids, I think I would have opted for an extra half hour, but 1.5 hours was perfect for the crowd we had! My recommendation would be to make sure to remind your guests to arrive right on time, especially if you're having a bigger party! It's a well oiled machine, but it works best when on time!

The staff was very attentive, and I did not have to touch anything once we stepped the the door. Just provide food, and they will plate it. The costumes were cute, decor cute, and concept is wonderful. The makeup room was amazing- but needed to be bigger- because that is where everyone wanted to be. I over all was very pleased head to toe. The only criticism is it needs a fresh paint job throughout and a bigger landing for where the princess ends/kids meet.

From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel genuinely welcomed. Every interaction was positive--from check-in, to the snack bar, to the performers engaging with the audience. Brandon and Hannah were especially great on stage, and they even took time afterward to show the kids magic tricks in the shop, which was a big hit. The theater is small and intimate (around 125 seats), which works in its favor. Even though the show wasn't completely sold out, the audience energy was high and made the experience feel lively and interactive. We were seated toward the back, but audience participation happened throughout the room, and several people from our group were still selected. Our group ranged in age from 5 to 75, and everyone stayed engaged the entire time. The show was family-friendly, upbeat, and fast-paced, with a nice mix of impressive magic and personal stories about the performers and how magic has shaped their lives. Overall, it was a fun, memorable experience for all ages. As locals, we're very glad we went--and we'll definitely be back!

He was very flexible in working with us to get the perfect spot at the club for the show and waiting a few extra minutes for all of the kids to get their ice cream.

It was very interactive and all of the kids participated. The show was extremely humorous for both kids and adults. Everyone was laughing and enjoying this fabulous show!

Our initial request for information on availability and options was responded to in no time. Leading up to the event any questions we had were addressed in a timely manner. The team at ChildTime Magic gave very clear direction on the amount of space needed, and any other details to assist with making the performance run smoothly. From the beginning of the performance through the very end Louis the Magician had the kids' (and adults') attention. His routine has the kids engaged, and actively participating throughout. Our normally shy 5-year old birthday girl was super excited to give Louis a hand as his assistant with one of the tricks. In addition to putting the show on for the kids, there is a lot of stuff thrown in to keep the parents entertained as well. I highly recommend ChildTime Magic.
