Frequently Asked Questions...
Pricing is based on several factors, Location, Day of the week and type of event. There are never any limits on the number of people who can attend my show, no additional travel or setup fees. It is best to contact me with information about your event so I can give you an accurate quote leaving no unexpected surprises.
No deposit is required to schedule your magic show. Full payment is made the day of the show after my performance.
I do not offer different "Packages" and I do not try and "up-sell" with various Packages, this tactic can be very confusing and could end up costing you more money. I give you amazing children's entertainment at a competitive and fair single price that includes everything. (Magic, Bunny, Balloons, professional setup with backdrop and KidzBop music)
I accept Credit Card and Cash payment. I process credit card payment using Square. I cannot accept personal checks, Sorry NO EXCEPTIONS.
Tips are always appreciated. If you feel that NeverGrowUpMagic went above and beyond your expectations, we'll leave that to you to decide if you want to thank Stephen with a gratuity.
Please keep in mind that I book my shows first come first served. Once you are on my schedule I will turn down any offers to perform during your committed date and time. I realize emergencies and situations beyond your control happen and will try everything that I can to reschedule your show if that is what you desire. If you must cancel, please do it as soon as possible to give me the opportunity to schedule another performance to fill your spot on my schedule. I do not require a deposit and do not charge a cancellation fee. I do NOT over book to compensate for the chance that somebody may cancel.
Yes, I will email a confirmation that will confirm date, time and location of your party. It will show my fee and have some valuable information for you about my show. This will confirm that your entertainment is scheduled with no worries or unanswered questions. I have worked very hard to make this an easy process and help you make your child's special day something he or she will never forget.
I am not able to perform outdoors because of my equipment and backdrop. I use some custom made props in my show and must protect my investment so I can continue to provide excellent children’s entertainment. You also need to consider the many outside distractions... wind, sun, rain, lawnmowers, the neighbors dog, bees, wasps, UFO’s ... etc
The NeverGrowUpMagic show is live magical theater brought to your home, but it doesn't require a great deal of room. The backdrop, tables and case will all fit in an average sized living or family room. The children will sit on the floor. I have never had a problem with space.
10 - 25 children make a great party. I do not charge extra for large parties, so you should invite as many children as you would like, there are never any limits on the number of children and parents who can attend my show.
I specialize in shows for younger audiences age 4-8 years old. This is what makes me different from other performers in my area. Everything I do, props, routines and comedy are created for children age 4-8 years old. No adult tricks and no adult humor.
I would suggest you start the party 30 minutes prior to showtime. This will give everybody enough time to arrive and get excited about the magic show. I will arrive one hour prior to showtime to setup for the magic show.
You can take all the still pictures you would like. You may video parts of the show but not the entire show. Because of copyright issues the video cannot be broadcast in any way ( YouTube etc.).
I feel that all tricks should be safe and fun. Some of the larger tricks can frighten small children and can fail injuring your child.
Yes!!! They will love show and the children’s response to my show will be priceless.
Yes, I have entertainers liability insurance and a current Georgia State Criminal Background check. I am also a non smoker.
article from MAGIC Magazine - April 2008 - Turn it Around by David Kaye, a.k.a. Silly Billy
"And now boys and girls, Lori will hold my wrist and I will tell by her unconscious movements which paper bag does not have the knife under it. Come on, Lori! Hold my wrist. You are five years old now. Be a grown up! Oh, don't cry! You're a big girl now, five years old don't cry. Lori.... Lori? Oh geez, give her some air!"
The Birthday party world is littered with stories about magicians doing inappropriate tricks for kids. Eating fire, the MAK Magic Sawing in half, the guilotine, the bra trick and the knife trick. I have heard stories about them all. Many of these mistakes are made by adult performers who don't really understand what it takes to perform magic for children.
When considering who will entertain
at your child's party:
Does the entertainer have a web site with both written and video testimonials from happy parents, Images and a full explanation about the show and service they will provide? This is a special event for your child and family, you want it to be worry
ASK...
When an entertainer submits a quote
for your event ask...
1) How much experience do you have entertaining children? Reviews and Testimonials?
2) Is there an extra charge for travel to your location and setup time? If so, How Much?
3) How many children who attend the party will your quote cover? If more children than anticipated show up for the party, will there be additional fees?
4) Does your pricing include balloons for all the children at the party or just the birthday child?
5) Do you make a live bunny appear? (Please do NOT under estimate the value
of a live bunny at your party)
