We Find The Best Magicians So You Don't Have To...

Birthday Party Pro was formed in 2005 when birthday party magician, Tim David saw two major problems in how magicians were being booked for birthday parties...

Problem #1: Many magicians are good at magic, but terrible at birthday parties! They don't choose age-appropriate tricks, they don't involve the children enough, or they simply don't like kids! (It's sad, but true.)

Problem #2: Worse yet, birthday party moms and dads have no way of knowing which entertainers are good magicians, which ones are good birthday party magicians, and which ones are neither! All too often, the birthday party planner is at the mercy of the magician and has to simply "take his word for it".

It's Hard To Find A Great Birthday Party Magician

Most magicians are hobbyists, there is a small group of magicians who are serious enough about their art to become great. Becoming great at anything takes time and effort.

Out of that small group is an even smaller group of magicians who truly love to do birthday parties. For some reason, many magicians view birthday party magic as "low on the totem pole". They would much rather be on a big stage like David Copperfield or have their own TV specials like David Blaine.

The smallest group of all consists of magicians who perform at birthday parties for a living. This is the group of performers that you are looking for. Only problem is that there aren't a whole lot of them around. I would estimate that there are less than 200 working birthday party professionals in the country that fit into this category. That makes them pretty hard to come by!

Another fact is there's no measuring stick available to the average person. There was simply no way to tell if a performer was good until AFTER the show, when it was too late. That's all about to change...

BPP Does All The Legwork So You Don't Have To

Magic shows for birthday parties are "big business" and we want to make sure your party is truly special...and not just another business transaction.

• If you open the phone book or look through ads and pick a magician at random, you're taking a huge chance. Anyone with money can place an ad.
• If you call and interview magicians, they know how to tell you what you want to hear.
• With the way technology is now, any magician can make themselves look great on video.
• If you ask to check references, some magicians will just have you call their friends, who pretend to be past customers.
• If you get a referral from a friend, this is the best chance you have. The downside is your friend has probably only seen one show. Even the worst magicians have good days.

Birthday Party Pro was created so people can be confident in the magic show they are booking for their child's birthday party. If a magician is listed with us, he's a great birthday party magician. If you disagree then you'll get a 100% refund. It's that simple. Oh and by the way, no one has ever disagreed.

We can't detail the exact system we use to rate magicians because we don't want magicians to abuse it, but we can tell you that...

• Due to our popularity, we are able to find great magicians you may never hear of otherwise.
• We go directly to the customer to check up on our magicians after each and every birthday party to make sure they maintain their level of excellence.
• Plus much, much more

Frequently Asked Questions

Am I paying more by booking the magician through BPP? No. You pay exactly what you would pay if you had found them yourself. The only difference is that you don't have to do any of the work. There is even a clause in the legally-binding contract each magician signs with us that says they can't charge any extra than they normally would.

How can this be free? Once the magicians pass their application tests, and provided they maintain a satisfactory excellence rating, they will pay a fee for the right to entertain at your party. Our operation expenses are funded by the magicians, NOT by our customers.

How does BPP make sure their magicians are great? This is actually top-secret information. If magicians knew how we did it, then they could temporarily "cheat" some areas of our system and make themselves look great, even if they're not. You can have complete confidence that we're doing everything that the average person does to research an entertainer, plus much, much more. We're risking our good name every time we send a magician out, so we make darn sure they're fantastic. If they're not top-notch, then you won't see them on this web site.

How many BPP magicians are there? Very few. We turn down over 75% of the applications we receive from magicians.

What does BPP Certification mean? If a magician has been with BPP for 1-year or longer, has a minimum of 50 documented birthday parties under their belt, and maintains a very high degree of customer satisfaction, then they achieve BPP Certification. Since BPP has been formed less than 1-year ago, no magicians currently have earned this distinction.
