Family fun, magical entertainment from Crazy Davy, Children's Magician! It's not just magic, it's Crazy Fun! Choose either a 20 minute or 45 minute magic show or a combination of magic plus twisty balloon animals! Crazy Davy is area's only magician who is also a MA licensed Elementary, English, and Special Education teacher.
Davy was funny and engaging for a group of 7 year olds, who had an absolute blast watching him and participating in his show. Highly recommend him! Thank you!
Response from Crazy Davy, Children's Magician:
Thanks Erica! So glad you had such perfect weather for your outdoor party!
Everyone loved Crazy Davy’s show at our 6 year old son’s birthday party! We were doubtful that anybody would be able to capture the attention of 12+ very energetic and amped up little kiddos, but Crazy Davy did an incredible job keeping the kids engaged. He also had some great ways to allow the birthday boy to participate in the show. The kids were OBSESSED with the balloon animals at the end of the show too (although they are 6 year old boys so all wanted swords!). Thanks to Crazy Davy for making this a party to remember!
He exceeded my expectations for entertainment. The show was fun, funny and he had excellent control over a young audience. Everyone absolutely loved the show!
Response from Crazy Davy, Children's Magician:
Thanks Katie!
This was our first experience using Gig Salad. Crazy Davy made it low-stress for us; he responded promptly each time, answered my questions, showed up when he said he would, and kept 18 kids' attention for an hour!
Pilgrim Church UCC in Brentwood NH is so great full to have had Crazy Davy at our 1srt ever Blueberry Bash. He was perfect. He infused wonderful messages of love, cooperation, and unity into an inclusive family friendly show. We are trying to raise our community
visibility and make people feel welcome. Davy made EVERYONE feel welcome. And he may be a children's magician but the adults had a blast as well.
Thanks so much and hope to see you next year

We had Dave perform at my wife's birthday party, but he was really there for our 5 grandchildren, ages 9 to 4. We spoke several weeks before the party and he had great ideas to entertain the kids and the adults.
He brought gift bags for the kids and a magician's deck of cards for each of the older kids and a simpler trick for the youngest. He also showed them how to do a card trick using the decks they took home.
Finally, he made some balloon figures and did a cool card trick for my wife. Aside being a good magician, Dave is a really nice guy. His fee is reasonable and is very responsive to the audience.
Response from Crazy Davy, Children's Magician:
Thanks Stephen! I enjoyed meeting you and your wonderful family!
Crazy Davy was great to work with. His price is much more reasonable than most, since this is not his "day" job, but he is just as professional as any others I have seen. His contract is straightforward. He arrived promptly, set up quickly and neatly, and managed to keep a dozen 8, 9 and 10 year old boys entertained for nearly an hour! He had great patience with the rowdier kids, and also with my younger daughter, who insisted on standing with him and "helping" throughout the show. He was able to work around her and still have other kids involved. He does bring some food items for his show, including marshmallows (to get the kids nice and sugared up before he starts!). The food was a problem for us because of food allergies and other issues, but with clear communication, it should not be a problem. I would definitely recommend Crazy Davy.
I manage recreation activities at a school for students with intellectual disabilities. We had Crazy Davy put on a workshop to teach the students how to do a few tricks and he also preformed tricks. He was very good with the students using succinct directions to explain how the tricks work. The students had a wonderful time at the workshop and went home with their own playing card deck and Svengali decks to practice their tricks with.
Having Dave there was great! He was pleasant for the kids. All the kids enjoyed his magic show and jokes. I had a lot of kids at my party but he was still able to take care entertain all of them. Having a magician there was also a great distraction for the party guests, so it allowed me to take a moment and do other things that I couldnt do. You were great many people had asked and will most likely contact you for their next party.
