✨ Frequently Asked Questions
There are so many birthday party magicians in Chicago. Why should I hire The Amazing Gary?
A great birthday party magician is more than just about the "magic tricks" he performs.
A great birthday party magician must also be a great entertainer.
And like all great entertainers, The Amazing Gary
enjoys a background steeped in the performing arts and entertainment.
The Amazing Gary was born into a household surrounded by magic.
In addition to this lifetime of experience in magic,
his résumé includes theater acting and improvisational comedy.
This allows Gary to custom-tailor his performances,
which are filled with impressive magic and mind-reading,
to engage and entertain crowds of all ages
in an interactive magic comedy experience
that's fun for everyone!
Do all Chicago magicians offer a 100% Money Back Guarantee?
No, not all Chicago magicians offer such assurance. Does The Amazing Gary? Absolutely! He takes his comedy magic birthday party performances very seriously. Barring any distractions beyond his control (pets running around, babies crying, parents talking loudly in the same room as the show, etc.), if you are not completely satisfied with his performance, you will get your program for FREE! The Amazing Gary makes this bold guarantee because out of the thousands of performances he's presented at birthday celebrations throughout the Chicago area, NO ONE has ever requested their money back. In fact, most parents who hire him to entertain at their child's birthday celebration hire him again, year after year, and recommend him to their friends!
Can Chicago magicians perform outdoors?
Yes! Not all magicians do. But The Amazing Gary does!
Each year he performs his magic shows at birthday celebrations held in
backyards and on back decks of private homes,
on patios of restaurants and bars,
and in public parks and forest preserves throughout Chicago and the suburbs.
However, please keep in mind that while Gary is a real magician, he cannot control the weather.
Therefore, if you are planning an outdoor birthday party, having
an alternate indoor location available for use in case of inclement weather is highly recommended!
How do I hire an Chicago magician for a birthday party?
Hiring a Chicago magician like The Amazing Gary is as easy as "Abracadabra"! Just send him a few important details about your event (date, time, city, etc.) using his convenient contact form. He can then get back to you with an immediate price quote, along with his availability. If you then wish to proceed with booking, just let him know, and he will add your event to his calendar. It's really just that simple!
How far in advance do I need to book a magician for a birthday party in Chicago?
The Amazing Gary is happy to take last-minute bookings when his schedule permits.
It is not unheard of for him to book a birthday party magic show
with a mere 1 to 3 days of advance notice.
However,
like most popular birthday party entertainers in Chicago and the suburbs,
it is more common for him to book most birthday party magic shows anywhere from
1 to 3 months in advance.
As all bookings are made on a first come, first served basis,
Gary recommends that you contact him
with as much advance notice as possible.
But always remember, it's never too late to ask.
How long is a birthday party magic show?
Like many Chicago magicians who perform at birthday parties, The Amazing Gary offers
a variety of birthday party entertainment options.
The Amazing Gary's most popular birthday party magic shows
are 30 minutes and 45 minutes in length.
Either one is a great option for older kids, teens and adults!
For younger audiences in the 4-6 age-range,
Gary recommends the 30 minute show.
The entertainment can always be extended after either show by adding an additional service,
the most popular of which is balloon twisting.
Does The Amazing Gary perform throughout Chicago and all suburbs in the greater metropolitan area?
Yes! The Amazing Gary performs most of his birthday party magic shows within a 1½ hours drive of Chicago, IL. This includes all cities and towns from Cook County to the counties of Lake, McHenry, Kane, DuPage, Will and Kendall.
What are the best ages for a birthday party magic show?
From 1 to 101, any birthday can be considered a life achievement worthy of celebrating with magic.
And The Amazing Gary custom-tailors each performance
to the specific age-range of your guests.
While it is not uncommon for The Amazing Gary
to perform his magic show at a
birthday celebration for a 1-year-old,
the focus of the program is
directed towards entertaining the family and friends (both adults and children)
who have gathered for the celebration.
Other milestone birthdays that are commonly celebrated with magic
include Sweet 16, 21, 30, 40, 50, 60,
65, 70, 75, 80, 85, and so on, and so forth, to infinity and beyond!
As far as providing entertainment for a typical "children's birthday party"
(a birthday party in which all guests in attendance are of the same age as the birthday child),
the best ages for a birthday party magic show
would be for ages five and up.
Again, for birthday parties for older kids, teens and adults,
Gary adjusts his performance accordingly.
Does the magician need anything? Are there any special requirements for the Amazing Birthday Magic Show?
The Amazing Gary does require a reserved parking space as close to the performance area as possible for loading and unloading. Aside from this, he brings everything he needs.
Are all Chicago magicians' kids birthday shows just for kids?
No. Even at The Amazing Gary's birthday magic shows that focus specifically on entertaining the children, the adults will laugh and be fooled! The Amazing Gary guarantees it!
How much space does a magician need to perform a magic show at a party?
The Amazing Gary's birthday show can be performed on a large stage or in your living room.
Ideally, a space of at least 10 feet wide by 7 feet deep is best
with an additional area in front of that for audience seating.
For a typical in-home performance, the magic show would be performed
in the living room or family room
with a wall (or fireplace, or TV) behind the magician.
You may wish to clear a coffee table or similar furniture from this area
to allow for more open floor seating.
It is best to have the kids seated up front, preferably on the floor.
Whatever the party venue,
whether restaurant,
private party room, banquet hall, park district facility or community center,
a wall behind the magician is always helpful in ensuring that no one is walking or sitting behind him
during the performance.
And again, it is always best to have the kids seated up front, preferably on the floor
(possibly on chairs, but never at tables).
When should the magic show start during the birthday party?
Taking into account for late arrivals, it is highly recommended that you start the magic show at least 15-30 minutes after the start of your party. This ensures that late arrivals don't interrupt the flow of the show and, most importantly, miss out on any of the entertainment.
Can I record video and take photos during the magic show?
Yes, of course! There are plenty of great photo (and video) opportunities during the show. The Amazing Gary also loves receiving photos and video from his clients!
Is the goose real?
No. The Goose Is NOT REAL. But it looks real! And the magic that it performs is real ... entertaining!
