Magical Zoom Birthday Parties: 7 Reasons You Should Hire a Professional Magician

Now that we’re more than halfway through the year and the COVID-19 pandemic shows no signs of slowing down, it’s pretty clear that most people are going to spend at least one birthday stuck at home, trying to have a party over Zoom. But, while I’m sure you throw a killer regular party, a Zoom birthday party is a whole different skill set!

Even if you don’t typically plan to hire entertainment professionals for your parties, I’ll tell you why you should hire a magician for your Zoom birthday party this year by explaining:

• What you get when you hire a professional

• How to make your Zoom birthday party stand out from everyone else’s

• Why this can be one of the most inspiring decisions you’ll ever make!

1) Make Your Zoom Birthday Party Different From Zoom Work Meetings

Aren’t all of the Zoom calls starting to run together a little bit? Regardless of whether it’s for work or fun, even if it’s people you like on the other end, you can only stare at a screen and talk with the people on it for so long, and “Zoom fatigue” is a real phenomenon.

That’s where a magician comes into play! There is nothing like magic, in any medium, to stand out and make you and your friends pay attention.

Nobody has a magician in on their work calls performing apparent miracles (although maybe they should…) so it’ll be totally unlike anything you and your friends are used to.

2) Magicians Make Your Zoom Birthday Party Extra Celebratory

Look, it’s a weird time. And it can be a little depressing to try to have a party over something as common as a birthday in such a dark chapter of global history.

But you still deserve to be recognized and celebrated, so kick the gathering into high gear with someone who knows exactly how to make you feel special!

With our knowledge of magic and performance, magicians are excellent at making even the most mundane gatherings an event to remember. (And I’m sure your parties are more than mundane in the first place.)

3) Who Doesn’t Need a Little Bit of Magic in Quarantine?

Even beyond anyone’s Zoom birthday party, we all need a little something special in quarantine. Being physically separated from our friends and loved ones, regardless of what day it is, sucks. That makes this the perfect time to see something that will blow your mind and make you believe in something greater than what you can see.

I know, it sounds a little woo-woo, but I promise it’s nothing too crazy! It’s the same effect that Disney can have - just a little bit of faith in magic. But instead of it coming from an animated story about a princess, it’s coming from a real, live human being who is doing incredible things you can’t explain.

And in times like this, a little faith in the extraordinary is a very comforting thing.

4) Your Zoom Birthday Party Will Stand Out in a Sea of Happy Hours

93% of people who are throwing a Zoom birthday party for the first time make it a casual happy hour with some friends, and don’t do any planning beyond that.

Okay, so I made that statistic up, but it’s definitely true that most Zoom birthday parties are casual and haphazardly thrown together. Seeing your friends is fun, sure, but how many Zoom happy hours have you done already? It’s nice, but boring: the Starbucks of online parties. And when you do too many of them, they become upsettingly unsatisfyingle.

Make your Zoom birthday party one that everyone will remember by hiring a professional magician! We can do something totally unlike you’ve ever seen, and it will be a memorable event among all of your birthdays, not just the ones on the internet.

5) No Awkward Interactions Before or Afterward the Show

I hate awkward interactions as much as the next person, if not more. And nobody likes the moment when a performer finishes their act, and then beelines to the host for their payment. It’s uncomfortable. As professionals, we try to make it as smooth as possible, but when you’re hosting a party and everyone wants your attention, it can be difficult.

Avoid all of that by hiring a professional magician for your Zoom birthday party! When you hire someone who knows what they’re doing, they will set you up with a package that spells out exactly what you’ll be getting, along with how and when payment will be processed.

That means, when it’s time for the event, we hop on the Zoom call, blow your minds with magic, and then let you get back to chatting with your loved ones. No awkward interactions required.

6) Inspire You to Start Learning New Skill in Quarantine

By this point, we’ve been in lockdown for almost five months. You’ve seen everything on Netflix. You bought Disney+, just to realize you saw everything on that as a kid. You’re desperate for something to do.

How about, instead of more content to stream, you learn a new skill - like magic! There’s nothing to inspire you to become great at sleight of hand than watching a master at work. And you probably already have everything you need to get started.

I won’t go so far as to say that this choice can change your life (although it sure did for me!) but the worst-case scenario is that you have something cool and fun to do at parties in the future… and the best case scenario is that you discover something amazing that you love and brings further richness and joy to your life.

Plus, if you hire a professional magician for your Zoom birthday party, we can probably even give you a few tips… without giving away all of our tricks, of course.

7) It’s Just Plain Fun!

A reason so obvious that it’s often overlooked: having a magician at your birthday party, whether it’s live or a Zoom birthday party, is just a ton of fun! We do it all - magic, comedy, choreography, and often more. When you hire a professional, you guarantee yourself and your friends a great time, and we always deliver.

And it’s not just fun for you, but for all of your friends, too. Even the naysayers who like picking out how we do our tricks have a good time trying to solve the puzzle. Absolutely everyone is entertained by a good magic show from a professional. We can guarantee it.
