New York Magic

The BEST Magician in New York City for Kids?

I can't stand it when people claim that they're the best. Anyone can say it - but how many can prove it. I can say that Hijinx is the best magician in New York City ... but why would you believe me? And what exactly is a fair way of measuring exactly what "the best" is anyway?

You can say that the Yankees are the best team in baseball - and cite their long list of World Series wins, but others will tell you that the Yankees suck ... based on the fact they live in a second rate city like Boston ...

Just kidding, I don't give a hoot about baseball - I wasted my youth practicing card tricks.

So, I won't claim to be the best magician in the world (that category is already filled by a bunch of mullet wearing losers who prance in sequins to 80's sound tracks while pointing at boxes. No, I am the greatest magician in the universe.

So happy that the people at TypePad are hosting the blog now. I'm looking forward to seeing what their platform can do!

Bronx Magic Shows

So it seems like every week and I’m doing a magic show in the Bronx. When I’m not in Brooklyn and more Long Island doing a birthday party show I’m up in the Bronx traveling around and bring my act to all sorts of events.

 

I tend to do a lot of shows in parks in the Bronx. I really enjoy those shows.  The Bronx has such a fascinating geography.  I don’t know very much about geology but the areas around Fort Tryon are fascinating. The geography in the Bronx is so much different from the rest of the boroughs – except of course for North Manhattan.

 

At any rate, I’m doing a lot of magic shows up in the Bronx at birthday parties, block parties, Communion parties and every other type of event where people want to get together and have a lot of fun.  Sometimes I run into trouble when I’m doing a show right by Yankee Stadium and the game is getting out and I end up getting stuck in traffic so I usually limit myself to the number shows that I book in a given day.  Generally I do about three shows a day – so if people are looking to hire me for their kids party I always tell them to call me as soon as possible, if not sooner.

 

My weekend sells out all the time.  I have a lot of repeat customers that have hired me for the last 20 years to do their family events and I’m always getting preferred to new customers and people are always finding my site online.  Check out my page on Bronx magic shows and let me know what you think.  Any advice would be welcome.

Brooklyn Magician Hijinx, Ready To Party

New York Magician

I love being a Brooklyn magician. I was born and raised in this fantastic city in the greatest city in the world. I started performing magic as a kid in the Marine Park neighborhood and later went on to work at a magic shop in Coney Island. I met a number of great magicians in that little shop of magic and perfected my sleight of hand by demonstrating magic from behind the counter.

The owner of the shop was a crazy man who would hire anybody to be one of his party entertainers, even if they were terrible. He would hire anybody to do birthday parties, it didn't matter if they had no talent as long as they showed up for the party and collected the money.  Unfortunately the party entertainment business is still run this way.  Every day I get phone calls from people who have dealt with disreputable party entertainment companies that promise you the world and deliver you a gin soaked clown in a filthy costume.

Most of these party companies don't bother doing a background check on any of the children's entertainers that they   book out. That's why they are able to charge such a ridiculously low price. If you're looking to hire a good entertainer for your child's birthday party you should expect to pay more than $150. Anybody who is willing to do a birthday party for less is either an inexperienced amateur or a really rotten professional who can't attract a better clientele.

I've been doing magic shows all over New York City since I was a kid.  I got my start working for a crummy party entertainment company and so I suppose there's always a chance you can book a decent act from one of these businesses.  But why would you want to take a chance?  If you're planning your child's birthday party and you want it to be something special why would you hire a cheap act?

My advice is if you can't afford to hire a good entertainer, just save your money. Hiring a bad cheap magician is worse than hiring no magician at all.   Now don't get me wrong, I don't charge an arm and a leg for show.  There are some children's entertainers in Brooklyn New York that do charge over $600 for a one hour magic show, but that's not me.  Most of my parties are priced between $275 and $350 for a one hour show that includes amazing magic, fabulous juggling, crazy balloon sculptures and even a live bunny rabbit.

Now I could sit here and tell you how great I am but I suggest that you mosey on over to my main website where you can check out actual client testimonials for people just like you who hired me to make their kids party a fantastic and magical event.  But don't delay, my show sells out regularly every single weekend.

If you need any type of party entertainers in New York City, give me a call at 877-688-3133.

Birthday Party Magic, a Magical Birthday Party Theme

Birthday Party Magic, a Magical Birthday Party Theme

Birthday Party Magic, a Magical Birthday Party Theme
By Emily Marshall

Birthdays are special and magical days for kids. Use these party theme ideas to make that birthday party a truly magical experience.

Here's how you can transform your child's birthday party into a magical world of wizards and wonder. With a very small budget you can create a playful and mystical atmosphere that will give your event a magic touch.

Colors. Dark purple and gold are a magical color scheme. Use dark purple for your table cloths, napkins plates and cups. Add yellow or gold star decals and tinsel highlights. Purple, pink and gold colored balloons are great for girls parties. Boys may prefer purple and gold only.

Props. Top hats, magic wands, bunny rabbits and doves are a nice touch. Try suspending some props from high ceilings using clear sewing thread to create the illusion of levitation. When the threads are placed just right and the lighting is not too bright it will really look like things are floating around the room.

Think about using special lighting to create a magical atmosphere. While we don't recommend it for a little children's parties, a dark room with blacklight posters and hello in the dark stars and moons will be really cool to older kids. Add some replica vintage posters from old-time vaudeville magicians to drive your theme concept home.

Goody bags. Instead of boring paper bags carry the theme forward by putting party treats into inexpensive toy top hats. Include some candy, puzzles and magic tricks that are aged appropriate in each hat. Put the top hats out as place settings and let them add to the decor.

Invitations. Set the theme early in the mind of your guests. Putting people in the right frame of mind for a party plays a big part in how successful and fun the event will be. Really sell the idea of a magical party and you will find that children will have even more fun.

Activities. If you're planning a longer party sometimes a craft activity can be a lot of fun. Have the children make their very own magic hats and wizards caps using construction paper and cardboard. With magic markers and stickers they can customize their magic props. Use a tape and washable magic markers only and stay away from messy paint and glue.

For an extra special treat hire a real magician to put on a special magic show for the birthday child and guests. The magic show should run no longer than one hour. Be sure your magician has plenty of audience participation and age appropriate tricks. Ask your magician to produce a live bunny rabbit at the party. A good magician will have a fast-paced and colorful show full of variety and surprises.

Finding a great magician for your child's party is easy when you call Hijinx at 877-688-3133. Long Island magician Hijinx amazes kids all over the New York. Check out his site at http://hijinx.tv for more fun party entertainment ideas.

NYC Magician on VOX

New York Magician

Checking out the blog platform on Vox. Nice and easy to use. Not sure if this will pull me away from Wordpress, but probably will get me off Blogspot. We'll see!
OK, so this blog is the ramblings of a New York City magician, me. I'm Hijinx and I've been doing magic shows in NYC since I was a kids. Now I mostly entertain at private parties ... when I do magic a kid's parties I use the name Hijinx. When I perform for adults, I go by the name David Blaine. Or Criss Angel. Or Carl Ballantin

My magic show travels all over New York. From NYC to Long Island, if you want a fun magic show for kids, check it out.

NYC Magician and Long Island Magician

Running around between Manhattan and Manhasset doing magic, it gets kind of crazy! I usually do two to three shows a day, but mostly on weekends. During the week I'm working on other insane projects and performing at corporate events like trade show parties and the like.

So, this is my test blog post for Vox. Let's see if it shows up on Google's Blog Search when I use the magic words, Hijinx Entertainment.

If you happen to find this blog, let me know and I'll take $17 off your show. Really, just say Vox and like magic I'll put $17 in your pocket. (OK, I'll let you keep it)

Ciao For Now!
