Can I Afford All This?

"How much are your shows?"
That's the question everybody asks me (a perfectly reasonable question.)

I'm a parent, too, and I know how expenses add up.
Here are some things to consider when deciding:

1 —	(	I OFFER SOMETHING WONDERFUL FOR EVERY BUDGET
		All of my show choices (even the shortest) are complete party entertainment! If you want a special 30 minutes, it's VERY affordable, and there's plenty of "WOW!" in even the shortest show (why pay for more than you want?) If you want something a little longer, or even a full hour, you'll find I GIVE YOU THE MOST FOR YOUR MONEY!
2 —		I COST LESS THAN ENTERTAINING THE KIDS YOURSELF!
		You save the money you would have spent on: goodie bags ($1-$3 each X 20 kids = $20-$60), a piñata with several bags of candy ($20-$30), a moon bounce ($125+), four or five pizzas ($30-$60) … add it up and see for yourself!
3 —		*"HOW CAN I AFFORD A BIG PRESENT AND* A SHOW?"**
		Try it this way: THE SHOW IS THE BIG PRESENT! Your child will remember this special present for a lifetime! Long after the toys have been broken or outgrown, both you AND your child will cherish this memory!
4 —		I WORK HARD TO MAKE YOUR DAY EASY (and let you relax and enjoy your child's special day!)
		My job is to make the party easy for you, to give you the chance to share and enjoy your child's special day. Sometimes people seem a little intimidated by a performer. Please don't be … I'm easy to work with if you're easy to get along with (does either of us really need any more difficulty?)

		SOME FREQUENTLY-ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT PRICE:

"I just called a performer who charges less. Why do you charge a little more?"
They charge what they're worth, I charge what I'm worth. I give you much more.

"I also called a performer who charges twice your rate. What about him?"
I said I charge what I'm worth, but I'm not going to get ridiculous.

"But it's just an hour's work."
Nope. Add up the hour it took me to do the show…
the two hours of getting ready and driving to and from…
the considerable expenses of gas and supplies and advertising…
the hours in the office waiting to answer the phone…
and the most important thing to consider:
almost 30 years of experience learning how to create
some of the happiest moments you and your child can share!

What are your lifetime memories worth?
Do you want the cheapest guy in town to provide them, or do you want the best?

There are plenty of guys doing tricks they just bought at the magic store yesterday,
who have no experience and no skill with children.
Parents tell me they're very glad they chose me … it's just that simple.

If all you want is "the cheapest you can get," or if you're going to reserve me and then cancel when you find someone doing a lot less for $5 cheaper, I'm not the guy for you.

But if you want a reasonable price for SUPERIOR SERVICE, count on me to deliver!
