1.  Which of your magic programs is appropriate for our age group?

Answer:   First Magic Show                 4-6  year olds

               Gold Program                       6-8  year olds

               Platinum Program                  8-12 year olds

              Kids Magic Workshop           8-12 year olds

2.  What do we need to provide you to perform your magic at our party?

Answer:   Not much really.  I just need approximately 12 square feet of space and easy access to an electrical outlet.  I provide everything else for the program.  I also need easy access parking.  Its imparative that I'm not blocked in so I can make it to my next show on time.  That's it.

3.  Can you perform your show outdoors?

Answer:   In the months of May- Sept. I may be able to perform at your event outdoors.  I do not perform the Platinum program outdoors because the heat of summer can be harmful to the animals.  The Platinum program must be performed inside.  The other programs may be performed outside if weather permits.  It is best to have an alternative place planned out in case of rain or other bad weather.

4.   How far are you willing to travel for a kids magic program?

Answer:   For birthday shows and kids programs, I cover all of the state of Connecticut and certain parts of New York.  Please contact me to be sure I'm available in your area.  If I'm not then I maybe able to recommend someone in your area.

5.   Why should we use Ted & Stage Left Magic as opposed to another entertainer?

Answer:  I'm a full time professional kids entertainer.  I'm not a weekend warrior who does this in their spare time.  When you hire me you are getting an experienced professional who has performed at thousands of events like yours.  Just take a look at some of the videos on this website to see the kinds of results I've gotten at most of the parties I perform at.  Here are some other points to consider that I provide each of my clients:

• I specialize in children's entertainment!
  Others try to perform for "all occasions"? (Just look at their website, you'll see what I mean.)

• I can describe my shows in detail, others may sound like they are simply just " wing" each show?

• I'm a  FULL TIME KID and FAMILY Show PROFESSIONAL, with a legitimate business license and insurance?

• I offer a 100% money back GUARANTEE!  If the kids don't have a Fantastic time with my program you get your money back on the spot.

6.   How can you Guarantee your programs without being taken advantage of?

Answer:  That's a great question.  I guarantee my programs for several reasons.  First I'm confident in my ability to make your party one that you will remember and people will talk about.  The kids are going to have a Great time!  If I fail to do that you should get your money back after all that is what you are hiring me for. The second reason is I want your trust.  By guaranteeing my programs I'm assuming all the risk.  You can rest easy knowing the kids are going to have a wonderful time at your party.  And lastly, I have guaranteed my programs for the past 11 years and no one has ever taken me up on my guarantee...not once.  Why would I think someone would at this point.  Bottom Line-I want you to have the best birthday ever and over the years I've helped hundreds of families just like yours accomplish that goal.

7.   How much time do you need to set up?

Answer:   I need between 25-35 minutes to set up.  It depends on if I have to set up the backdrop (curtain) and the sound system.  The set up time can be reduced if the kids are not in the room while I'm setting up although I don't require this.

8.  We have been looking at other entertainers for our party.  Why do you charge more for your magic programs?

Answer:   If you asked 10 different entertainers the cost of their program I'm sure you would get 10 different answers.  The first thing you have to look at is what is included in their programs.  I include a lot of things in my programs that other magicians can't or don't include.  Music. Live bird. Live bunny.  Floating Carpet.  Magic DVD.  Etc.  I also offer a 100% Money Back Guarantee with each of my programs which is something most other professional entertainers won't do. Some of my clients think that I'm a little expensive but most of the people who contact me are surprised at how reasonable my rates are.  Even those who think I'm a little expensive that book my program, after seeing the show have booked me for their next party because everyone had such a great time.  I offer different magic programs with different prices to help you find something that is close to different peoples budget. I charge a fair amount for the value of service that I provide.  However, If you are looking for the cheapest guy in the area, I'm not him.

9.   Why don't you include the pricing for your programs on your website?

Answer:  I perform in several different areas and have separate pricing for those areas.  I would hate to charge you too much for your program and that is why they are not listed here.  Once I know where your party is going to be I can quote you a fee.

10.   What is the easiest way to contact you about performing at our party?

Answer:   Just fill out our simple online form and click submit.  This is actually faster than calling me and I may not be in the office when you call.  By filling out the form you will get your information a lot sooner weather I'm in the office or not.  You can of course call me if you are more comfortable with that at:  203-723-7295
