Germar creates a fun environment, engages the crowd and involves everyone in the show. Very funny and good for children of all ages, from 5 to 85! I definitely recommend him for your children's party, adult birthday or corporate event!

His show was funny, high-energy, and perfectly pitched for the kids. The grand finale brought out a real live bunny, which had the kids absolutely losing their minds with excitement. And as a bonus, he did balloon animals too. If you're looking for a magician for a party, look no further. Germar delivered on every level and then some. We can't recommend him enough!

I have to give Kari a big 5 stars for the way they handled the negative situation from my…read moredaughter's birthday party. Not only did Kari reimburse me for the cost of the original party she offered me a free 2 hour party to show us what they can be like. We have an annual NYE party where we count down at 9pm so the kids can all bring in the New Year but the parents can get them to bed by 10pm. I asked Kari if she would be willing to come out on NYE, thinking she would say no, but she didn't, she said yes. I will admit I was hesitant. I was a little worried but I figured it would keep the kids occupied. Hannah, our performer, called me 30 minutes earlier than our planned start time just to let me know she was already in the area and could start early if I wanted, but didn't have to. I had her still come at 6:30 since most of our guests wouldn't be there by then. She had an adorable 70's flashy disco diva outfit on, which the kids loved. She was TERRIFIC. She kept those kids entertained for a full 2 hours! They loved her. Her magic show was awesome, her enthusiasm was great, and her professionalism and ability to stay in character was top notch. The parents were so impressed and happy with her! I am happy to make my first post of 2013 a positive follow up for Kari's Magic Parties and I am seriously thinking about having them come back next NYE! Thank you Kari for following through and showing me how great you guys can be,

I initially contacted another party performer after reading some troublesome reviews of character…read moremixups and no shows and no refunds. But because that other performer was already fully booked, i ended up going with Kari's magic parties per recommendation of my nursing school classmate. I sent my inquiry 3-4 weeks before the party via email because their website was in construction I think at the time. When they told me they had an availability I was elated. They told me that the performer was supposed to call me by 5 pm the day before the party. The days leading up to the party I totally forgot about the performer. To my pleasant surprise miss Sarah called the day before the party. Initially the services I wanted were face painting and balloons and a sing a long. She told me since we had her for 2 hrs and only about 10-15 kids I could add another service. Since my daughter was 2 and the kids were aged 2-9 she recommended toddler time which entailed "head shoulders, knees, and toes". That sounded awesome since my daughter loves those songs but I opted for the magic show option so that the adults and older children would be entertained as well. The day of the party she arrived perfectly on time. As soon as she entered everyone was in awe of Miss Sarah's beauty. She embodied Elsa PERFECTLY. We had the movie playing during the party and some younger children actually thought she stepped out of the tv and through the front door! Lol. She asked for a place to paint and a cup of water and off she went. She stayed in character the entire time. Everyone young and old enjoyed her magic show. And she was there to cut the cake with us. She posed with EVERYONE and was so pleasant! She was very easy to talk to and kept asking if there was anything more she could do. Overall I am so thankful for Sarah and Kari's Magic Parties for the wonderful experience. Sarah had a very important job of bringing the party to life as Queen Elsa and that's EXACTLY what she did! Highly recommended and am excited to work with them again in the near future!

He was perfectly on time, set up the event professionally, was respectful and kind with all ages, and made everyone at the party laugh a ton. I had a very modest space and he handled that really well. I would book John again in a heartbeat. We went with the full hour so I didn't have to get goodie bags (he did balloons for everyone and gave a magic trick to-go). That felt like a smart economical move, and I don't regret it.

It was our first visit to the California Magic Club and to say we were impressed is an…read moreunderstatement. We felt welcomed and entertained from the moment we walked through the door. The club itself is an intimate and unique space. The performers were top notch and we are still trying to wrap our heads around some of the magic we experienced! Our matinee ticket didn't include food, but did include a non alcoholic drink. They do offer beer/wine for purchase. While all of the performers were fantastic, we were lucky enough to catch a performance headlining Mentalist James Knight. He is amazing (mind boggling actually) and I hope he returns to the club soon! We had a great time and can't wait return with friends!

My best friend hired Boswick to perform at her daughter's 3rd birthday party at Dolores Park, and…read morehe was fantastic! First, Boswick is a true professional. It was a very hot day, and all the kids were originally seated facing the sun, before starting his show, he had the parents turn the children around so they wouldn't be staring into the sunlight. That spoke volumes about his experience. Boswick had so many tricks up his sleeve and kept the kids engaged and laughing throughout. The birthday girl (as is perfectly appropriate for her age!) wandered off midway through, but the older kids were totally captivated the entire time. When the balloon-making began, she came right back, a perfect ending to the performance. Even the adults were entertained! Boswick effortlessly switches between engaging 3-year-olds, 7-year-olds, and adults alike with his humor and charm. As a teacher, I really appreciated his ability to manage a crowd and keep everyone entertained. Other nearby parties had a jump house and a traveling petting zoo with a runaway turtle, but Boswick was by far the highlight of the park. Overall, we were impressed. I would recommend Boswick for any kids' event.

Thanks for the awesome show last year!!

Even though the kids were pretty rowdy and full of energy, Skip handled everything with so much patience and creativity. I couldn't even keep them calm myself, but Skip managed to engage and contain the group perfectly. My daughter tends to get anxious when there's a lot of noise and movement, but Skip was so attentive and made sure she had her space and could still enjoy the show. It really meant a lot to me that my daughter felt comfortable enough to laugh, smile, and participate at her own pace. The face painting was beautiful, the show was fun and engaging, and there were plenty of giggles all around. Some of the adults could've done a better job respecting the show, but Skip stayed professional and kept things going smoothly. I truly appreciate that level of patience and skill. I'll definitely book again in the future,maybe something smaller next time with one or two of my daughter's friends so she can interact more. Overall, it was a great experience and I highly recommend Dream Top Entertainment!

Mr SHAP was an incredible addition to a recent family birthday, engaging easily with a crowd of…read moreadults and children from 3 to 11 years old. The party started a little later than normal, with friends rolling in, and Mr SHAP took everything in stride. Without any prompting or interruptions to the hosts, he quickly adjusted to balloon twisting first and then doing his magic show towards the end of his time with us (vs. the original plan of doing the magic show first). I really appreciated that he read the room, took initiative, and still delivered exactly what we had agreed to. Friends came up to say how great he was! He also was incredibly efficient with setting up and breaking down, and everyone loved his energy and his magic!

From the…read moremoment he arrived, he had the kids completely engaged and, just as impressively, the parents too! He managed a large, energetic group of kindergarteners with ease, keeping everyone laughing, focused, and excited throughout the entire show.

Several parents came up to us afterward to comment on how great he was, which says a lot. Mr. Shap is professional and clearly very experienced with young children. We couldn't have asked for a better entertainer and would enthusiastically recommend him to anyone planning a kids' party.
