This is not a magic show.
Your magician performs for fifteen minutes. Then the props come out and every child learns to do it themselves.
By the time we leave, they can each perform four tricks — and every one of them takes the props home.
Close-up magic, a metre from their faces.
Four tricks, one at a time.
Until it works.
To the room, and to you.
The props are theirs.
The ninety minutes, minute by minute
The same shape every time, whether it’s your living room or the village hall.

The showClose-up magic performed a metre from their faces. The room goes quiet, then very loud.
- 15–30 min
Trick oneTaught slowly, hands on, and nobody moves on until every child can do it.
- 30–45 min
Trick twoA different prop, a different skill. They perform it back to the room.
- 45–65 min
Trick threeLonger, because this is the one that looks impossible.
- 65–85 min
Trick fourThe finisher, and the one they will show you in the car on the way home.
- 85–90 min
Certificates, wands and the gold wandEvery child is presented with theirs. The gold wand goes to the birthday child, last.
Different magic for different young magicians
We choose the four tricks on the day — based on the ages in the room, how confident the children are, and whether anyone has been to one of our parties before. No two parties teach quite the same set.
So if your child has been to one of ours already, they will still be learning something new.
And because we know exactly what your child’s magic club has already taught them, the birthday child learns something new alongside their friends rather than sitting through a repeat.
The best party bag
they’ll ever take home.
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.

Holographic sticker
All included. The only choice is Cups & Balls or the Ball & Vase — so friends can swap and show each other something new.
A sticker for every trick.
A gold wand for the birthday child.
Each child gets a certificate at the start. Master a trick, earn a sticker. Fill the certificate and it’s on the fridge that evening.
One gold wand per party, presented last, and only ever to the birthday child.
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.

Every child goes home with this
Hello, I’m Ketsy
I’m a professional magician. I’ve been running magic clubs in primary schools since 2011 — these days more than 45 of them, around 800 children every week.
I wrote this workshop myself and I’ve taught it thousands of times. I know which trick a shy seven-year-old will nail first, and which one gets the biggest reaction from the room.
Depending on your date, your party will be run by me or by one of our seven magic tutors — all trained on the same workshop, all enhanced DBS checked.
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.
Anna Marthur · party hostQuestions 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. No travel charge inside our area — ask if you’re just outside it.
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.
