JoJo was engaging, fun, interactive, and really great magic! Even the newly two year olds were so focused the entire 30 minutes! My daughter raved about it afterwards! She felt so special having a magician at her birthday.
Arrived on time, extremely professional, and left everything perfect behind him.
Would HIGHLY recommend JoJo for your next event!

It was amazing, Jojo was the talk of the party. The kids loved him.
We hired JoJo to perform a magic show for our son's birthday party and t was great! It was a show that was enjoyed by all ages - kids 2 years old to 12 years old, plus the adults thought it was pretty neat too! There was something for everyone - juggling, jokes, lots of audience participation and of course cool magic tricks. The birthday bunny was a highlight too! It was great that he let the kids volunteer to help out with the tricks and they all loved the special balloons that he made for each child afterwards - it was amazing that he could turn a balloon into such cool designs - ninja turtle, Spider-Man, a sword, etc. - it was an extra party favor for the kids! He even made a fun balloon hat for my dad! Would definitely recommend - JoJo was very prompt in returning messages when I was booking him and on time for the event!
He was very personable, professional, and the kids loved the balloons!

We hosted Jojo the Clown for a summer camp performance graders K-7. He was on time and brought all supplies with him. He did a fantastic job at engaging the campers and performing magic for about 1 hour. I would definitely recommend him to any groups looking for entertainment options for students.

Mr. Jojo was awesome! He was able to keep the attention of 1-3 year old kids. The students & teachers enjoyed every second of the show. He made a rabbit & a dove appear from nowhere, lol. He also made balloons for the kids & he made them fast! Mr. Jojo was friendly & his attitude was pleasant! We will definitely book him again!
Jojo brings such amazing energy and joy to his shows. For my son's 5th birthday party, he had a group of 3-10 year olds riveted to his entire performance yesterday.

It was very hot day at the park for my daughter first birthday party. Jojo did an amazing job performing for the children, he did a great job entertaining them.

We hired JoJo to act as a "balloon man" at a school carnival. He was all you'd want him to be--- timely, courteous, fun. He sat for hours making balloon after balloon for the kiddos, and the parents reported that he made each kid who came next in line feel so special! JoJo is a New Orleans treasure. Book him if you can!

Jojo was amazing at my son’s 4th birthday— kept a group of highly distractible toddlers fully engaged, even though it was very cold. He also was punctual and professional.
He was a huge hit— thanks Jojo!!! Highly recommend.

JoJo did a show at for a group of our middle schoolers. He held their attention the entire time, which is hard to do! His card tricks and magic tricks had the kids and adults amazed. JoJo was prepared and able to customize his performance to meet our needs and demographic. Everyone enjoyed the show! (When booking, JoJo was proactive in making sure he would be following all COVID protocols. He also is fully vaccinated. )
JoJo can you please call me Carol Ellis (504)722-4485

We hired Jojo for our daughter's 10th birthday party this weekend and he was just awesome!! We kept it a surprise from our daughter and when she walked into the room, she told me later that she almost cried. His setup alone made the entire space look so theatrical and magical. From the moment that the kids sat down, he grabbed their attention with lots of fast moving very engaging quick tricks. The music, his humor, outfit, and well polished show was instantly impressive. From the youngest to the oldest adult in the room, everyone laughed, oooed, ahhhed, and gasped their way all the way til the end! I am so glad that I found Jojo on Gigsalad! He really made our daughter's 10th birthday one of the very best!
If your thinking twice about hiring JoJo fir your event ... don't.
He was fantastic and really set a great tone for our function. He is good with kids and adults alike. The magic entertaining for all and keeps the kids attention. Mr.Jo Jo was both professional and friendly. Great with communication. A great addition to any event!!
JoJo came to my cocktail party as a stilling magician. He was fantastic. Everyone loved him

JoJo is very organized and prepared and checked in periodically. His show was very age appropriate and fun. Reasonably priced. Cute balloon animals for all children!
My twins turned 5 and it was tricky coming up with a covid safe party but JoJo did just that! We were all able to be outside and the kids LOVED him! He’s funny, kind and puts on a great show for everyone. A total hit! Can’t recommend him enough. Thank you JoJo!
JoJo did a great job for my sons birthday party. The kids were engaged and loved the tricks so much. The balloon animals at the end were icing on the cake!!

Jojo was polite and very interactive with the children.

We had JoJo come out and entertain at this year's Slidell Heritage Festival. He was just great with the kids and adults. He walked around and entertained everyone with magic tricks and juggling in the heat for 4 hours with not one complaint!!! Highly recommend him for any event you have planned.
Juggler, Strolling/Close-up Magician
Jojo was the highlight of the day for so many of our kids! He was funny and engaging, and the kids were blown away with the live bunny and the real bird that were incorporated into the show. Two thumbs up for Jojo from our school!

JoJo was the best!!! He is so great with kids!! My daughter turned 10 and they all were like 2 year olds with the Awww and Oooh! I definitely recommend him. He took pictures with them, he called the up to participate. The best Magician hands down!

Thanks! I enjoyed performing at Alejandro's party! I need the recipe for the potato/chicken salad you sent home with me. After I got home I ate it all and loved it!
...JOJO
Jojo was very friendly and fun! He didn't stop making balloons from start to finish. Some of the children walked out of out party with bags of balloons!! He was wonderful!!

JoJo came for a corporate event and was fantastic. We hired him on behalf of our clients and they were thrilled. We would highly recommend hiring JoJo.
Corporate Magician
We hired JoJo to attend my son's end of the year preschool party at Christian Brothers. JoJo was the highlight of the party! All of the kids loved him!! He made special balloons for each child and the teachers, plus extras for anyone who asked. It was pretty neat to see all of the designs he could make quickly out of balloons - swords, spider man, different animals, plus fun hats. He came dressed in festive attire - colorful vest and hat (we didn't have him dress as a clown in case any of the young kids were afraid of clowns). JoJo was great to work with - he answered texts very promptly and arrived early to the event. We used him once before to present a magic show for my younger son's birthday party and plan to use him again. Would definitely recommend!
Balloon Twister
JoJo visited my friend in the hospital on *very* last minute notice (and was super flexible with scheduling), and he did an amazing job. He really cheered my friend up, and also cheered up the nurses and my friend's elderly roommate! He even stopped by the grocery to pick up a bouquet of flowers on the way, which was on his own initiative and was so sweet. My friend is still talking about how nice it was. I would give him a million stars if I could. Thank you, Jojo!

We loved the show! The kids and adults enjoyed!
Children’s Party Magician
We booked Jo Jo for my daughters 7th Birthday Party. Jo Jo was an amazing magician and fantastic with all the children. His show was fun, exciting and very entertaining for all involved including the adults. My daughter really enjoyed the REAL rabbit he made appear. This was amazing, Jo Jo allowed the children to pet the rabbit and get involved in all the magic tricks which the children loved.
He was very professional and his stage props were amazing. I would recommend Jo Jo to anyone who is looking for an excellent Magician.
Children’s Party Magician
Jojo truly brought home the carnival theme for my daughter's 6th birthday! The kids thoroughly enjoyed and the birthday girl said, "mom that was the most amazing thing" lol. Jojo was very professional, prompt and worth every penny!!! I feel like we may do a carnival party next year just to have a majic show!!!! Great job Jojo!

JoJo was amazing, he arrived 30 -45 mins early even on a last min booking. We could not be more satisfied. He put on an awesome show for the kids which lasted about 45 mins and another 30-45 mins of balloon animals. The show was interactive and all the kids had a blast truly a moment that will last. I would recommend him to all my friends and family!!!

Booking Info
Price Range: $300 and up
What to Expect
I am one of New Orleans longest performing children's magicians. I have been performing over 40 years in the New Orleans area. I was born here, so I am a true local.
In my magic show I start out juggling balls, bats, and rings for 2 minutes, it is a fast paced warm up.
Then I start the magic, and do colorful amazing magic to music for a few more minutes.
Then I make a real rabbit appear!
Then I do some more magic where volunteers get to help me. This is a perfect time for the Birthday child to help me. They get to wear a costume and help do the magic, making a perfect photo op.
I also have a puppet that does a magic trick and other funny things.
At a birthday party I do a 30 minute show and then make balloon animals for the children, up to about 30 children, total time one hour.
For other Family shows with more than 30 children, Instead of balloons, I do a longer magic show that lasts from 45-55 minutes.
I am also available by the hour to make just balloons, or I can add balloons to the family show for an additional fee.
I also do amazing "Strolling" magic for adults, and even children!
This is booked by the hour.
I can also be booked by the hour to do juggling for your event.
About
I am a professional local magician with over 40 years experience in the New Orleans area. I also do amazing walk around magic for adults.
