How Much? And Other FAQ...

How much do you charge? - I'm sure you want the best party possible for your child, right? After all, who doesn't want a fun and memorable party? That's why BPP offers several unique party packages to better fit your specific needs.
Just so we don't recommend a show that isn't right for you (and therefore give a quote that isn't right for you), please select from the following options:

I'm Planning A Party For A BOY Ages 3-8

I'm Planning A Party For A GIRL Ages 3-8
How far do you travel? - The Professor will travel all over the Springfield and Branson areas of Missouri.
Travel fees may apply, depending on city/town
How much space do you need? - After thousands of birthday party performances, we have learned to BE FLEXIBLE! Only about an 8' x 4' space is needed, a typical living room setting works just fine. However, our performers are professionals and will be able to perform just about anywhere.
Where can I find party decorations and supplies with a magic theme? - When guests arrive, you want them to know that it's time to party and have fun! Birthday In A Box gets nothing but rave reviews from birthday party moms all around the country and we fully endorse just about anything they produce (piñatas, plates, napkins, cups, decorations, favors, etc.)

Do you do outdoor performances? - Yes, our performers will do their show outside upon request. However, speaking from experience, I don't usually recommend outdoor performances. With children (and adults too!), it's important to keep distractions to a minimum. Outdoors, no one can predict a sudden breeze which blows away a prop, shifting shade, or a fly-by hornet.
Distractions like this can really diminish the flow of the presentation. However, 98% of the time these things never even happen. It's up to you whether or not you want to take the chance.
What age groups do you perform for? - The Professors specialty is entertaining a family audience. (Any group of children with some adults possibly present as well.) Over the last 30 years performing for different age groups, he has learned how to carefully create different programs and performance styles that are age appropriate. What a three year-old thinks is funny, is much different from what a seven year-old thinks is funny.
So while he works for children ages three through eight, each day the show is a little different in order to maximize the fun for the audience. For details on his his main program formats, click the links below:

How can I be sure the magician will show up? - When you schedule your performance, we will send you a confirmation either by mail or by email. With the confirmation, you'll have every assurance that the performer will arrive and he will arrive on time.
Birthday Party Pro stands behind every magician on our team and we would never jeopardize the success of your party by sending someone who has not been PROVEN to be reliable, consistent, and professional. We simply can't afford to associate our name with anyone less than a PRO!
Do I have to tip the performer? - While tipping is not required, if you really want to show your appreciation for a particularly fantastic show, The Professor will certainly not deny tips. As far as how much to tip? Anything between $5 and $75 is appropriate.
