Comedian Brian Regan has a light hearted look at childrens party games.
Through the humour you can see a touch of truth.
Elimination games can cause problems in your party, with children who are out, no longer being involved and getting bored. The games mentioned in the video are prime examples. Limit your games to ones that include everyone all the time and your party stands a far greater chance of being successful.
I receive many calls from people wishing to book me to entertain at their party, and sometimes I am told that the venue has already been booked and the time has been arranged (normally 2pm-4pm, which is the worst time you can choose for a party, read all about why this time is so bad). Quite often they have left it very late, or are enquiring for a date that I am already fully booked. What can be done?
Well several things, but it really depends on what the most important aspect of your event is, as far as you are concerned. Let me explain further…
When planning a party the key decision to make are:
- Who will be invited
- Where the party will be held – the venue
- What time it will start and how long it should last

Over the Christmas period, magicians are highly sought after for birthday parties, christmas parties, corporate hospitality, clubs, schools, cubs, beavers, brownies and the list goes on. However, every now and then there is the potential for a disaster. A colleague of mine had just that experience last month. A great deal can be learnt from reading about it. His story goes as follows…
There was one party over christmas that was very difficult. It was a local golf club, a very posh club, very expensive, and they held a christmas party for their members children every year, and last year apparently it was a complete disaster. One of the members wife’s was an event organiser, and she got wind of the children’s christmas party, and was appointed as the event organiser. She asked me to go in and talk about the entertainment. I had worked for this lady many times and went in for a meeting, not far from where I live, so it was very handy. They explained what they wanted… Basically the children turn up and they are fed a late lunch and then Father Christmas arrives, and gives all the children a present, then the entertainer starts work and he does a magic show and some games, at the end of which the children go home. Some of the older children stay for a disco.
