Abracadabra Alex performed at our daughter's fifth birthday party and was absolutely amazing. He…read morewas able to absolutely entertain the entire group of fifteen or so 4-6 year olds for more than an hour (longer than he had anticipated) and I can't tell you how much laughter and shrieks of delight we heard. Most importantly to us, he was able to get our fairly shy daughter comfortable and up in front of the group of her friends to join in his act and, even better, she had a great time doing it. He also stayed after the show to make balloon animals for all of the kids in attendance which was a big hit. It was all around a great show and Alex was fantastic at working with the kids. He was also great at communicating with us regarding preferences etc... leading up to the show. I'd book him again in a heartbeat.

Great show!!! Out 4 year old and a couple dozen of her friends and parents loved the show!read more

He also handled a sensitive situation with one child who got scared at a balloon popping with grace and kindness-he is wonderful with young children.

Captain Silly did a phenomenal job at my sons 4yr old birthday party in our backyard. Prompt,…read moreprofessional, respectful and adaptable are his hallmarks. He hits the trifecta of incorporating magic, sugar and pyrotechnics (talking about a match) that captivates the youngsters from the moment his 90min show starts. He adapts his acting to ensure everyone is included (even late comers) and really makes the birthday person feel extra-recognized and special. Captain - my son is still stoked from your show and attendees are sharing how much they enjoyed it as well as the fact that their kids are also still singing your praises. Congratulations on a job well done and continued best wishes with your business & endeavors. Highly recommended!

Hiring Captain Silly Bones for my four-year-old's birthday party was one of the best decisions I've…read moreever made. I also based my decision off of his many glowing reviews on Yelp so I hope I can help others make a similar decision. He was professional, kind to my boys, incredibly talented and kept his word about keeping the kids absolutely glued to his performance the entire time. He doesn't just show up in character, he brings tattoos, a speaker for dancing, tons of goodies for a scavenger hunt (which turns into goodie bags for the kids), magic tricks and more. We had kids ranging from babies to about 8 years old and everyone loved it. Even the parents were sitting around and watching. I have a six-year-old boy too and both of my kids were enthralled. It's been a few days since the party and they both have asked me daily when he can come back. HIRE HIM! You AND your kids will love it.

I recognize that the Magic Duel takes huge pride in 5 star reviews on Yelp, which I deeply respect. But I did wish that we had seen the show in a different venue. I am no stage expert, but lights and sound do matter a lot in delivery of a magic show for a skeptic like me, going because the significant other loves magic shows. With better lighting, things would have been more "magical" (thinking bottles.) I was also surprised that a bubble artist, as good as she was in her profession, was considered a magician. After some quick research, you will end up at Magic Duel in this genre, so please go to Dupont or Georgetown.
