    Second time having Mr Shap at my son's party and he didn't disappoint! From the very beginning, he…read morewas thoughtful, responsive, and incredibly professional. When I reach out to book his time, he took the time to ask about my son's interests and favorite characters so he could make the experience more personal. What really impressed me was that he checked back in again just a few days before the party to make sure nothing had changed and to see if my son had any new favorites. That level of care is rare. I mentioned that my son was obsessed with dinosaurs and casually asked if a dinosaur balloon hat might be possible. I honestly thought it might be too difficult, but Mr. Shap absolutely delivered. He created the most amazing dinosaur hat for him, and my son was beyond excited. The magic show was fantastic and kept both the kids and adults fully entertained the entire time. Even when a few kids tried to call out some of the tricks, Mr. Shap handled everything with patience, humor, and true professionalism. As a parent, I would encourage other parents to remind their kids to be respectful to performers. They work hard to create a fun experience for everyone, and kindness goes a long way in keeping the magic alive for all the children. The balloon animals were also a huge hit. What really stood out to me was how patient and attentive Mr. Shap was with every child. At one point, I had the kids leave the balloon line for cake cutting, and somehow he still remembered exactly what each child had asked for when they returned. The kids absolutely adored him. Mr. Shap is not only talented, but also genuinely kind and sweet. He made the whole experience feel easy and special from start to finish. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for an entertainer for a children's party.

    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!

    We have hired her four times now for two different kids, and every single time it has been a major…read moresuccess. She has an incredible ability to instantly connect with children and keep them fully engaged. The energy, warmth, and professionalism she brings are unmatched, and the kids are laughing, participating, and completely absorbed from start to finish. Parents consistently comment afterward on how impressed they were. It is clear this is not just a job for her, it is a true passion. She is reliable, easy to work with, and consistently delivers an experience that feels special and memorable. If you are looking for someone who will genuinely delight kids and make a party feel effortless and joyful, look no further. We will absolutely continue to hire her again.

    Melody was great! My 2 sons loved her at a party. If I were Melody I would definitely go with a…read morediff company or out on her own. I would have hired her in a min and recommended her to everyone I know. The owner is incredibly diff to work with and is not very truthful, understanding or empathetic. Her website has 3 diff prices for services. Initially it said 249 and then under the services 299. I contacted the owner and she stated it was 299. I said I'm confused bc it stated it was 249 and then 299. She said that's an old price. I thought that's odd so I went to book Melody and the price changed yet again- now it's 339!!! In less than 15 mins the price went from 249- 339!!! The worst part about this experience is that she wasn't willing to honor the price SHE sent in a text and then doubled down by denying service altogether- when the issue was clearly an issue with her site. Rather then making I'm right- or even trying to right the wrong - her solution was to deny us the service- which is going to result in a special needs boy not getting the 1 thing he has asked for in a year or more. He's a very sweet boy that has had a hard life in just about every way. Melody made his worries, hospital visits, being bullied and just his hardships melt away. Quite honestly it was one of the few times I've seen him participate and smile at the mention of her name. Rather than apologize and try to resolve the issue she is going to deny a special needs boy his one ask. I'm so very sad and if she knew my kid at all- she would and should be ashamed that rather than making his bday the best it could be- she is showing that she lacks any empathy or understanding. I hope she reaches out and does the right thing!!!

    I attended a 5-year old birthday party that had Dante the magician as the entertainer. I was pretty…read moremuch blown away. He did a great job engaging with the kids. The kids LOVED it. He asks for volunteers from the audience, so the kids love this. His magic tricks keep the kids guessing and they're fun too. Although I have to admit some jokes are a little corny, but they are still fun and the kids keep on laughing. I thought it was a good overall performance. My kids were engaged the whole time and they laughed throughout the show. I don't know the cost or how far he travels, but I am considering him for one of our kids' events. This party was in the east bay but I see that he is usually based in South Bay.

What really stood out was how he took the time to personally introduce himself to both of my kids, immediately winning them over with a couple of quick magic tricks. During the show, Dante kept all the kids fully engaged, involving many of them in the performance, which made it extra special. His act struck the perfect balance of humor and intrigue--entertaining not just for the children, but for the adults too. Also, he made sure the birthday kid felt special by involving her in a special trick at the end. I would highly recommend Dante to anyone looking for a magician who's professional, personable, and truly knows how to create a memorable experience.
