Magic Party

Many children are enthralled by magicians and even aspire to do magic tricks. If this fits your child, a Magic party will be a thrill! This is one of the few parties that really needs a professional entertainer. Ask your local library, community center, or schools for recommendations. They often hire magicians for special events.
