Just had Magic Russ and Dave the Wonder dog for my Daughters 8th Birthday party. She is the youngest of three so I have seen lots of magician acts but Russ is by far the best.
He is extremely professional with all the arrangements confirmed quickly and efficiently. The act is original, well planned and highly entertaining - even my 13 year old sulky teen boy loved it. The children and grown ups are captivated with clever tricks and puppetry. The adults are also included in the entertainment. Everybody laughed and it created a wonderful atmosphere.
The act lasts a good length of time with a break for party food at your convenience so you are not left at any point with children to entertain yourself. It is interactive so even the most restless children don't get distracted. The prizes are many and of good quality especially the main prize which my daughter has yet to put down. The birthday girl was made to feel really special and Russ is a good judge of childrens character making even the shy children feel comfortable. Any mess, which is only paper is quickly cleared away afterwards.
I really do recommend you book Russ - you will not be disappointed.
