🌟 Client Testimonials & Success Stories! 🌟

Happy Friday, everyone! 🎉 Today, we’re thrilled to share an incredible testimonial from David, who recently left us an amazing review:

_"If you've seen a party magician in the last 40 years, you've probably seen a lot of the same tricks. They're standard classics that continue to dazzle kids, so all the magicians do them. What sets party magicians apart is the performance and delivery. Louis the Magician is one of the most entertaining performers I've seen, and his take on the classics makes him a standout in a crowded field.

He performed at my 5-year-old son's birthday party this weekend. He has constructed a show that not only amazed the kids, but had the grownups howling with laughter. He's every bit as much an adult comedian as a children's magician, and has managed to weave the two skills together in a seriously entertaining package. It's a hard skill, and he's mastered it in his writing and delivery.

Before his performance, a parent told me that she's seen party magicians before, and that kids start to get bored, and she worried that a 45-minute show was much too long. The kids had just taken a train ride through the park, so they'd been sitting and hadn't had a chance to run around yet. I was worried she was right. So I told Louis, 'Look, these kids might be antsy and have a hard time sitting still. If you feel like you're starting to lose them, you have my permission to wrap up early. I'm fine with that.' He told me, 'It'll never happen.' And he was right. The kids were so into the show, having such a good time, I think he could have gone another 15 minutes and they still would have been in rapture.

I could continue, but the bottom line is: I highly recommend Louis the Magician. Hire him for your party."_ – David

We are so grateful for such heartfelt feedback! It’s stories like these that make our work so rewarding. 😊✨

Parent Focused Tips: Back-to-School Excitement! 📚✨

Getting kids excited about going back to school can be a challenge, but here are some magical tips to make it easier and fun! 🎩✨

*Create a Countdown Calendar: Make a colorful countdown calendar to the first day of school. Let your child decorate it with stickers and drawings.
*Back-to-School Shopping: Turn shopping for school supplies into a special event. Let your child pick out their favorite items, like a cool backpack or fun notebooks.
*Meet the Teacher: If possible, arrange a visit to the school to meet the teacher and explore the classroom. This can help ease any first-day jitters.
*Establish a Routine: Start adjusting bedtime and morning routines a week before school starts to help your child get into the swing of things.
*Talk About the Positives: Share your own positive school experiences and talk about the exciting things they’ll learn and the new friends they’ll make.
*Plan a Back-to-School Party: Celebrate the end of summer with a small party or a special family dinner. Highlight the fun aspects of returning to school.
*Magic Show Treat: Plan a special magic show at home or watch one online as a fun way to end summer and kick off the new school year!

Making the transition back to school a positive experience can set the tone for a successful year. Here’s to a magical start to the school year! 🎓🌟

✨ Magical Monday Moments ✨

This past Saturday, we had one of the most unforgettable shows ever! It was an outdoor party with big tents set up, but Mother Nature had other plans. 🌬️ Just as we were getting started, the wind picked up and lifted all the tents into the air! All the attendees had to grab the tents to keep them from flying away. Then, as if that wasn’t enough excitement, it poured down rain and thundered! ⛈️

But the show must go on! We did the entire magic show during the thunderstorm under one of the tents. The kids' faces lit up with wonder despite the storm, and it turned into a magical adventure for everyone involved. Sometimes, it's the unexpected moments that make the best memories. Thank you to everyone who braved the weather and made it a magical day!

Encouraging a love for reading in your children can be magical! Here are some fun tips to get your kids excited about books:

*Create a Reading Nook: Set up a cozy space with pillows and blankets where your child can escape into their favorite stories.
*Story Time Magic: Incorporate a little magic into story time. Use funny voices, props, or even simple magic tricks related to the story to make reading more engaging.
*Book Treasure Hunt: Hide books around the house and create a treasure map for your child to follow. Each found book can be a new adventure!
*Library Adventures: Make regular trips to the library. Let your child choose their own books and explore different genres.

🌟 Client Testimonials & Success Stories! We love hearing from our happy clients. Here’s what Joshua had to say about his recent experience with Childtime Magic:

'My brother-in-law hired him for his son's birthday party yesterday and Louis was great. Very friendly, engaging, and great with kids. I wouldn't describe him as like a "magician magician" with a cape and all that - he's more of a comedic magician. He does tricks but with this funny spin on them and it's very well executed.

What was unexpected though is this guy is absolutely hilarious and had all of us adults in stitches. He has this upbeat, self-deprecating dry sense of humor when interacting with everyone that was really funny. If you hire this guy, make sure that you get all the adults to sit there and watch him as well.'

Thank you, Joshua, for your wonderful review! We strive to create unforgettable memories for all our clients, both young and old. ✨ "

Hey parents! Looking for a fun and engaging activity to do with your kids today? How about a DIY Magic Show at home? 🎩✨

Here’s a simple and exciting magic trick you can teach your kids: The Disappearing Coin Trick!

What You’ll Need:

A coin
A small cloth or handkerchief
A flat surface

Steps:

Show the coin to your audience (your family).
Place the coin on the flat surface and cover it with the cloth. Move the cloth around with the coin to show that it is still there. (secretly slide the coin off the table into your lap).
Wave your hand over the cloth and say a magic word.
Lift the cloth to reveal that the coin has “disappeared”
This trick is easy to learn and fun to perform! It’s a great way to spend quality time together and spark your child’s interest in magic.

Happy Friday, everyone! We love hearing about the magical experiences our shows bring to families. Here’s a heartwarming review from one of our recent shows:

“We were so fortunate to have Louis the Magician for our daughter's 4th birthday party! He was warm, engaging, energetic, and very entertaining for our guests -- both adults and kids alike! He had some fun magic tricks that even I couldn't explain. The kids were mesmerized throughout. The best part was the animals he brought out at the end. My daughter is still telling everyone about the sloth who came to her party. Best of all? We had originally booked another entertainer who suddenly became ill on the day of the party and called in a favor on our behalf from Louis. Louis so kindly raced to our home and did a fabulous, unplanned show that saved our daughter's birthday party. We will forever be grateful and cannot recommend Louis highly enough for your next kids' event/party!” - LM H.

Thank you, LM H., for your kind words! We strive to create unforgettable moments for all our audiences, and it’s feedback like this that keeps the magic alive.

Hey parents! Today’s tip is all about making everyday life a little easier and more enjoyable for you and your kids. 🛠️✨

Parent Tip: Create a Family Routine Chart

Creating a visual routine chart can help your children understand and follow daily schedules with ease. Here’s how you can make one:

*List Daily Activities: Write down all the daily activities, from waking up and getting dressed to meals, playtime, and bedtime.
*Use Pictures and Colors: For younger kids, use pictures and bright colors to represent each activity. This makes the chart more engaging and easier to understand.
*Involve Your Kids: Let your children help you make the chart. They’ll be more excited to follow a routine they helped create.
*Display It Prominently: Hang the chart in a place where everyone can see it, like the kitchen or living room. This helps keep everyone on track and reduces the need for constant reminders.
*Reward Good Behavior: Use stickers or small rewards to encourage your kids to stick to the routine. Positive reinforcement goes a long way in building good habits!

Having a family routine chart not only helps in managing time better but also instills a sense of responsibility and independence in your kids. Give it a try and let us know how it works for your family!

Happy Monday, everyone! Let’s kick off the week with some magical highlights from our recent daycare magic shows. 🪄✨

During the summer, we’ve been busy bringing joy and wonder to daycare centers across the area. Each week, we perform 5-10 magic shows, captivating the little ones with our fun and interactive tricks. From making objects disappear to sneezing donuts, the children are always amazed and delighted.

One of the best moments was last week was when a group of the kids came up to me after the show asking to pet my sloth, Chuck. Chuck is the highlight of the show and he seems to become friends with the kids rather quickly!

At Childtime Magic, we believe that every child deserves a bit of magic in their lives. Have you seen us at your daycare center recently? Share your favorite magical moments with us in the comments!

🌟✨ Parent Tip Thursday! ✨🌟

Hey parents! We know that raising little ones can be a magical journey with its own set of challenges. Here’s a helpful tip to make your days a bit smoother:

Tip: Create a Magic Routine for Bedtime 🛌✨

Establishing a consistent bedtime routine can work wonders for your child’s sleep habits. Try incorporating a little bit of magic into the routine:

1. Wind Down: Start with a calm activity like reading a magical story together. 📚✨
2. Set the Scene: Dim the lights and use a nightlight to create a soothing atmosphere. 🌙✨
3. Magic Words: Create a special goodnight phrase or ritual that signals bedtime, like “Abracadabra, it’s time for sleep!” 🪄✨

A consistent routine can help your child feel secure and know what to expect, making bedtime easier for everyone. Sweet dreams! 🌟

🌟✨ Hey magical moms and dads! ✨🎩 Today, let’s chat about finding the perfect daycare for your little ones. 🏠💖

As a magician in children’s entertainment, I’ve learned that choosing the right daycare is like finding the perfect stage for your child’s growth and happiness. During the summer, I perform at daycares every single day from June until September. I know the importance of choosing the right daycare because I have seen the range in which they come. From nurturing environments to creative play spaces, it’s all about creating a place where they can shine bright! 🌈✨

Remember, every child is unique—just like every magic trick! Take the time to visit, ask questions, and trust your instincts. 🧩💫. Look at how clean the environment looks and how well organized it is because this will give you a clue.
