What to Expect from a Children’s Magic Show – A Parent’s Guide
Thinking of booking a magician for your child’s party in Scotland? Whether it’s your first time or you’re simply curious, this guide walks you through exactly what to expect — and how to make the most of it!
A Warm, Friendly Welcome
A professional children’s magician arrives early to set up and meet the birthday child. This helps break the ice and sets a friendly tone from the start. A little one-on-one before the show begins can make your child feel like the star of the day.
Age-Appropriate Fun
A great kids’ magician tailors the show to suit your audience.
For younger children (ages 3–6), expect silly jokes, colorful props, and lots of puppets or slapstick fun.
For older children (ages 7–10), the magic ramps up with jaw-dropping tricks, clever routines, and maybe a bit of harmless mind reading.
Laughter and Participation
Children aren’t just watching — they’re helping with the magic. Your child might wave a wand, say a magic word, or even make something appear! Audience participation keeps every child engaged (and laughing).
The Birthday Child in the Spotlight
Many magicians include a special trick just for the birthday boy or girl. Whether it’s pulling a toy from a hat or making something “magically” appear, it makes the guest of honour feel amazing — and gives parents a great photo opportunity.
Show Length and Setup
Most children’s magic shows last around 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the age group and your preferences.
Magicians usually bring their own table, props, sound equipment, and even a backdrop — so you don’t need to worry about a thing.
After the Show
Some magicians offer extras like balloon animals, party bags, or close-up magic while the kids eat. Be sure to ask about add-ons when booking!
Book with Confidence
At Scotland’s Magic Sensation, every show is crafted with care, humour, and a whole lot of wonder.
