Birthday Party (Children)
in Mitchellville, MD

"Ken was very timely and professional. He was patient and accomodating (even among the mild chaos of a family party) and took his role as "event entertainer" very seriously. He interacted with the children very well and had jokes and tricks that were appropriate for their ages(4-9). He was early enough to set up and get the guests warmed up as they trickled in, even though he had to travel through falling snow! I am definitely glad we chose Ken."

"Ken Caplan was amazing at our spring picnic. His strolling magic was terrific and his balloon sculptures were fantastic. He had kids following him and surrounding him at all times. Not only were the kids amazed, the parents were too! I would definitely hire Ken again!!"

"Both the young and the not-so-young party attendees LOVED Mr. Kaplan's show. His act held the attention of all that gathered for my 9 yr. old son's birthday party. The children laughed and screamed. Smiles never left the faces of the grown-ups. He involved many in his act. He is both funny and talented. He came early to prepare his stage. Before his show began, he walked through the party and performed tricks that no one could figure out. At the culmination of his show, he handed out very creative balloon figures he had prepared beforehand. I recommend hiring Mr. Kaplan for any crowd: both the young & the young at heart. Definitely a five-star show! "

"Ken is a talented magician and left us all wondering how he did his tricks! The children at our event were enthralled because he worked his magic down at their level and did tricks that involved them in the magic. He also made clever and unusual balloon animals that every child wanted. Many of the woman also went home with cute balloon bugs sitting on their wrists! He made sure to spend time with all the groups spread throughout the office and accomodated every special request. As one of the people who organized this event I can say that the process to hire him was easy, he arrived promptly, and worked the full time for which he was hired. "

"Ken was great. From the first phone call to the final good-byes, he was great. I got a good vibe from him from the first phone call and that feeling was maintained throughout my interaction with him. I hired him for my four hour housewarming and he was funny and TALENTED! I have no idea how he did what he did, but I liked it. He amazed and amused all my guests. He even did a little magic show at the end. Hire him, you won't be disappointed. "

"Ken faced one of the most challenging audiences that exists. A large group of four years old boys and girls. Within minutes, he had them eating out of his hands. They were laughing and gasping at the magic tricks. My four year old daughter loved the show and the balloon animals at the end were the perfect touch. I highly recommend Ken."

"Ken was awesome..He made our son's 5th birthday party a success!! The kids really enjoyed him, as well as the adults... He knows how to keep the crowed entertained. Ken done such a great job, that the next day my 5year old son said he wants to become a magician :)... We were truly satisfied! We also like the fact that he includes the children and adults in some of his acts. We would surely recommend Ken to others."

"Ken was great. He showed up earlier than the show time to ensure he would not be late since he was traveling over an hour to get to us. He walked around and did some magic tricks at the tables before the time the show was scheduled to start. All the children and the adults enjoyed his performance and several people asked how we found him."
