Learn amazing magic tricks with your friends
Not a magic show they watch. A workshop they do — taught by a professional magician who comes to you, with everything supplied and nothing for you to organise.
- Magic Wand
- Velvet Drawstring Bag
- Magic Props
- Certificates & Stickers
Ketsy captivated twelve children in our living room for ninety minutes, which meant we could actually host the parents and get lunch out. The children came away so proud, performing their tricks back to us all afternoon.

Four designs, with more coming soon
A sticker for every trick.
A gold wand for the birthday child.
Every child gets a certificate at the start. Master a trick, earn a sticker. Fill the certificate and it is on the fridge that evening.
One gold wand per party, presented last, and only ever to the birthday child.
Learn. Practise. Perform. Amaze.
This is the magic we teach and the kit we teach it with — proper brass cups, a real deck, a solid ball and vase. The same props a working magician carries.
Included
A magic show
Close-up magic performed a metre from their faces. The room goes quiet, then very loud.
Four incredible tricks
Learning, practising and performing four age-appropriate tricks — and the props for all of them go home with the children.
A sticker for every effect
One sticker for each piece of magic they master, earned and presented on their own certificate.
A sticker for every trick they master
Each one goes onto their certificate as they learn it. Children compare them in the car on the way home.
Sponge Balls
Card Magic
Mind Reading
Coin Magic
Cups & Balls
Ball & Vase
You had them absolutely captivated and we are amazed at the magic. Arlo still won’t tell us how he does it!Catherine Burns
Tailored Magic for each group and every age
We choose the four tricks on the day, based on the ages in the room and how confident the children are. Quiet children and loud children both get something that works for them, which is why this is the party that every child enjoys rather than the one a few sit out.
- Sponge ball magic
- Card magic
- Mind reading magic
- Coin magic
- Cups & Balls or Ball & Vase
Each child takes home a magic kit as their party bag!
Ten pieces of real magic equipment in a crushed velvet bag — and every child knows how to use all of it, because they have just been taught. Every kit includes everything below, plus one of the two special props.
Magic coin
Magic wand
Sponge balls
Playing cards
Mindreading cards
Certificate
Earned stickers
Holographic sticker
Then choose between these two
Every kit gets one of them. Pick either and the children can swap at the party to show each other something new.
Cups & Balls
Ball & Vase
Everything above is included in the price. Just tell us which of the two you’d like when you book.
Thank you Richard for inspiring Rosie and her friends at her 11th birthday party. She had a really great time learning magic tricks with you and still talks about the lemon you made appear from thin air.Donna Rice
Taught by a professional magician
Ketsy has been running children’s magic clubs and workshops in schools since 2011. With more than 15 years’ experience, he understands that every child is different. His aim is not simply to teach children magic tricks, but to use magic as a positive way to build confidence, encourage focus and celebrate individual progress.
Children are never put under pressure to perform a trick in front of others. Instead, they are given clear guidance, encouragement and plenty of opportunity to practise at their own pace. Many children are delighted to show the group what they have learned, but it is always their choice.
Ketsy has extensive experience working with different age groups, abilities and confidence levels, allowing him to tailor his teaching so that every child can experience success.
Above all, the aim is to empower children with the skills and confidence to take what they have learned home, and proudly share it with their family and friends.
Vetted, insured and safeguarding trained
Every magician who walks into your home or hall has been checked before they get there. We are glad to send the paperwork across before the day — just ask.
- Enhanced DBS certificates held by every magician
- Full public liability insurance in place
- Regular safeguarding training for all tutors
Three reasons this one is different
Building confidence
Learning a trick is one thing. Performing it to a room and hearing the reaction is another. That is the part children carry with them.
Something unique
Not a show, not soft play, not a disco. Most parents tell us their child has never been to a party like it.

Wow! What can I say, how you managed to control a group of 15 five and six year olds is magic in itself. Thanks Richard, highly recommend!Mark Thompson
Questions parents ask
Will a five-year-old manage it?
Yes. Tricks are chosen so the youngest can do them and the oldest are still stretched. Mixed ages are completely normal.
How much space do you need?
A living room is enough. We’ve run parties in kitchens, village halls and back gardens.
What actually happens in the ninety minutes?
Fifteen minutes of close-up magic, then four tricks taught one at a time, then five minutes of certificates, wands and the gold wand for the birthday child.
What if we have more than ten children?
£7 per extra child, and for larger groups we bring a second pair of hands.
Do parents need to stay?
An adult needs to be in the building, but not in the room. Most use the time to get food ready.
Do we need to provide anything?
Nothing. We bring everything, arrive set up and clear up after ourselves.
What if a child doesn’t get a trick?
We don’t move on until they have. That’s the difference between a workshop and a show.
My child is already in a Ketsy magic club. Will the party repeat what they know?
No. We choose the four tricks on the day and we know what the clubs are teaching, so the birthday child learns something new alongside their friends.
What if the magician is ill?
We have seven tutors. If one of us can’t make it, another can — which a solo entertainer can’t promise.
Is there a deposit?
No deposit and no booking fee. You pay after the party.
How far ahead should we book?
Around six weeks for a weekend. Sooner? Ask anyway — we often have someone free.
Are you DBS checked and insured?
Yes to both, and happy to send the paperwork before the day.
Where we come toFarnham, Guildford, Godalming, Woking, Aldershot, Farnborough, Fleet, Camberley, Haslemere, Basingstoke, Alton, Winchester, Bracknell, Wokingham and the villages in between. Travel is included within 30 minutes of us, with a modest contribution beyond that — ask and we’ll tell you exactly which band you fall in.
Every child leaves a magician
Five boxes. We’ll come back within two working days with availability and a firm price. No deposit, no obligation.
Weekends go first
Most Saturdays are taken six to eight weeks ahead, and the weekends either side of half term go earliest of all. If your date is sooner than that, ask anyway — with seven tutors we can often still cover it.
