Frequently Asked Questions
About Kane Magic Entertainment
Booking And Show Information
GENERAL SHOW INFORMATION
How many birthday party packages do you offer?
I offer two core birthday party programs, each lasting about 45 minutes to 60 minutes. They all include tons of laughter, magic, music, and wonderful moments of audience participation. If you need something special created for your event, however, I have been doing birthday parties for many years and have a lot of different ideas that we can work into the mix.
How far do you travel to do a birthday party and do you charge travel fees?
I've done birthday parties all across Texas. Most of my customers are based in the Dallas / Fort Worth area. The only minimal travel fees I charge involve doing programs farther than Dallas / Fort Worth.
How much space do you need for the typical birthday party?
With most birthday party shows, I'm performing right in front of the family room fireplace. My magic shows are not like our typical briefcase magician magic shows. The set-up is larger than what most people expect. I bring a curtain backdrop system that extends out to 15 feet wide and 9 feet tall. It is adjustable. However, it will fit in any size living room. I make the best use of the space provided with my equipment. I just need a little staging area in front of me for the routines where I have volunteers come forward.
Do you need me to provide a table? Electricity? Anything?
Nope. I bring all my own equipment -- sound system, table, everything. I just need an outlet to run the sound system. Total set up time is about 45 minutes so I arrive early enough which gives you total party coverage. My goal is to make this birthday party totally easy for you.
What can I expect from your show?
Each of my magic shows is an action packed roller-coaster ride filled with audience participation, magic, music, & mystery, I mean it because you deserve nothing less.
Do you use volunteers from the audience?
Yes we get volunteers involved throughout the performance.
What age is your show suitable for?
Our show appeals to and is suitable for ALL ages. The largest attendance will typically be mom and dad with their children. Every magic show is family friendly, and everyone is treated with respect from the magician.
What kind of music do you use?
Throughout the entire show the music will primarily be instrumental. Before the show during my set-up, I usually have music playing that is up-to-date and pleases most people.
If you have a particular song or a list of songs you would like to hear at the party or event, you can send me a playlist and I’ll try to accommodate you.
Where is the best seating located for watching the show?
This depends upon the venue, but up front row centre is almost always the “best”. As long as all of your guests have a clear view of the general “stage” area, one seat is as good as another.
Are we able to seat late arrivals or those who’ve come for the after-dinner show only?
Yes, just use your discretion as to disturbance of the audience while the show is in progress.
How many people can I invite?
The choice is yours. You may invite whomever you want and how many you want. It’s your party or event, so have fun.
How do I book you?
Simply call me so we can discuss the best date and time of your event. After that we will make out a “Performance Agreement” invoice. You can also contact me through my Contact Us Page.
What are the best show times?
By default, as outlined on our confirming agreement, we schedule our performances according to first come, first serve basis. Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays are typically the busiest days. But any day can be a great day for a magic show! Because of our travel time (1 hour between shows) from one location to another, any changes to the showtimes appearing on our confirmation agreement must be cleared with us in advance.
Is there a deposit?
Birthday party magic shows and corporate event entertainment shows do not require a deposit.
Is there a cancellation or rescheduling fee?
No. Due to our busy performance schedule, if you do have to cancel or reschedule, please give us advance notice.
When do you arrive?
The Magician Kendal Kane will arrive for an inspection and show set-up approximately 30 minutes prior to show time.
How much are your various birthday party packages? Do you offer any discounts?
My core birthday party programs start at $275. Discounts are not given, but if you refer me to a friend who books any of my programs you will receive a FREE GIFT from me. Check out the Referral Program.
My child is scared of clowns. Are you scary?
Even though I've been professionally trained in the application of clown makeup, I don't wear any -- for exactly that reason. Instead, I appear at your party dressed in dark slacks, white shirt, a sparkly blue jacket. Safe. Fun. And totally non-scary at all.
How much experience doing children's birthday parties do you have?
I have performed professionally for more than 30 years all across the U.S. I have literally done thousands of shows for families and family events.
But aren't all birthday magicians / clowns the same? Why shouldn't I just keep calling until I find the cheapest entertainer?
If getting the cheapest price is your top priority, you should definitely shop around. There's a difference between "price" and "value" -- someone who puts on a sponge nose, buys a couple magic tricks, and hires themselves out as a clown 1 or 2 times a month will probably not cost very much, and most likely will be worth even less.
On the other hand, inviting a trained professional into your home to create an unbelievably enjoyable experience you can confidently share with your family and friends involves a totally different level of value.
Okay Kendal, why should I hire you compared to all the other options available?
Have you ever experienced a family celebration where every child, every family member, every friend sat transfixed with their eyes glued wide open? Where everyone's jaws just flat out dropped in amazement? Where the walls of the room seemed to practically rock with enchantment and fun?
If not, then you've never had the pleasure of experiencing one of my birthday party shows. And every one of my birthday party programs is 100% -- "no worries, no hassles, no way you're not going to be thrilled" -- money-back guarantee.
There's absolutely zero risk to you. Your family will get a totally unforgettable birthday party magical variety show packed with laughter, wonder, and incredible Kodak moments guaranteed to create memories that will last a lifetime.
Weekends especially fill up fast. To reserve your space, contact me today.
How will I pay you?
Payments are to be made in the form of cash, check, Mastercard, Visa, Discover, or Amex after the performance.

WARNING:
Before You Hire Any Magician Or Children's
Entertainer Read These Hiring Tips:
Hiring a professional children's entertainer or magician in Dallas / Ft. Worth or anywhere in Texas can either make or break a special event and it is a difficult task. You want it to be fun and extra special. Not all entertainers are created equal, and finding the right one for your event is absolutely essential.
Although there are a lot of great performers, I’ve put together a summary of the details you may want to consider when researching an entertainer or magician for your next party or event.
Here are some basic rules to keep in mind when you are looking for an entertainer in the Dallas / Ft. Worth area and throughout Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and Arkansas. Please don't overlook these important factors...
Before your event talk to your entertainer.
A true professional, top-notch entertainer will speak with you personally before your event in order to insure the entertainment fits your specific needs so that your guests are guaranteed the best possible event. In other words, don't book a performer just because they have a great looking website. Talk with them to insure that they have a fun and outgoing personality.
Not all entertainers are created equal.
Finding a quality entertainer is the hard part. Many entertainers are part-timers who entertain on the weekends to supplement their regular 9-5 incomes. When planning your event, a "full-time" entertainer is your best bet, as they will have the most experience and they will have a special interest in making your event the best it can be. After all, "full-time" entertainers are going to have more experience than someone who just performs part time on the weekends.
Make sure that you seek out an entertainer who is good with children.
Not everyone can captivate children while creating memories that will last a lifetime. Not all entertainers truly understand or work regularly with children to truly understand what it takes to keep their attention. Since children have short of attention spans, about 30 seconds or less, you want to make certain that you choose an entertainer who has a proven track record of success when working with kids. An entertainer whose experience involves mostly working with adults is unlikely to be able to retain the attention of young ones for 5 minutes, let alone 45 minutes. So make sure that the entertainer you choose likes kids and has a truly animated, fun-loving style.
Any entertainer worth should be able to provide references.
Entertaining a young audience is no easy task, so booking an entertainer who is just starting out is a risky endeavor and one that you should not take a chance on. All good entertainers will be able to provide references on request from past clients. Be wary of those who cannot or will not give you any references or recommendations.
You get what you pay for.
The better entertainers are worth paying for, even in a tough economy. The price of a good entertainer generally reflects the quality of the services they offer. So, while a less expensive entertainer who says they will beat any price, may reflect a financial savings, the rule of thumb in the children’s entertainment industry is that the cheaper the rate, the poorer and the more limited the performance. If you hire someone because of their "great price" but they end up putting the kids to sleep, you've actually overpaid. If pay a little more for a "full time professional entertainer" and the kids, adults and even the teenagers have a great time, then, you've gotten a great deal. In other words, "good" and "cheap" simply don't go together.
Finding magicians and children's entertainers in Texas (Plano, Richardson, Garland, Frisco, Rockwall, Sachse, Wylie, Allen, Irving, and surrounding Dallas / Ft. Worth areas) who are perfect for your event is the challenge. This is only a guide, and you’ll be well on your way to making an informed decision for your next party or event!
Best of luck!
