The value of a birthday party show isn’t just in the price
May 19th, 2010 by admin
As a Chicago magician, as you might expect, the question I’m most frequently asked is “How much?” And price is obviously a legitimate concern. But more important than price, I think, is value. Not just, “Am I getting the best price for a birthday party show?” but instead, “Am I getting the best show for me and my family at the best price?”
I wrote about this before when I talked about my birthday party show package, but sometimes a kids party magic show with balloon animals isn’t the right solution. If the child is older they may not want balloon animals with the magic. Which is why I also offer magic lessons, including a magic kit for all the guests. This way, not only do all the kids leave the birthday party show with memories of laughter and astonishment, they leave ready to share the magic with their own friends and family.
The only way to find out which package is right for a kids party is for me to ask the parents questions. I find that by asking questions about the age of the birthday child, what he or she likes, what concerns the parents have, etc., the parents not only feel more comfortable with me, but they’ll be more confident in the choice they’re making. The same applies to my adult performances. Sometimes people need a corporate magic show, sometimes they need close up magic and sometimes they need both. My job is to determine their needs and offer them a package suited to them. When I do so the client invariable goes away happy.
And hopefully hires me again next year.
