Interactive comedy magic for children aged 3–12, with a live bunny meet-and-greet and balloon sculptures for every guest. For the larger gardens Rumson is known for, we can send two performers, add pony rides, or run a reptile encounter alongside the magic. No deposit on staffed entertainment.
Rumson sits on the peninsula between the Navesink and the Shrewsbury, and the properties here are generous — which sounds like it makes a party easier and often makes it harder. Space spreads children out. A single performer who would comfortably hold fifteen children in a living room has to work considerably harder when those same fifteen are scattered across half an acre with a trampoline in the corner.
So the honest advice for a Rumson garden party is to think about gathering rather than about square footage. Pick one spot where children will sit together and face the same way, ideally with the sun behind them and something solid at their backs. We will set up there. The magic runs about forty-five minutes, the live bunny comes out afterwards for a guided meet-and-greet, and from the one-hour package upward the performer twists balloon sculptures for everyone who wants one.
If the guest list runs past fifteen or the party is spread across a lawn and a terrace, two performers is the sensible answer rather than a longer single-performer booking. The second performer means the balloon and face painting queues run in parallel instead of end to end, which is usually the difference between children drifting off and children staying engaged. Send us the address and rough numbers and we will tell you which package genuinely fits.
Check the pricing below — the longer packages include more of this list.
Prices are per party, not per child. No deposit on staffed entertainment — you pay the performer on the day.

Add-ons are chosen on the booking form, after you pick a package.
A bigger garden does not automatically need a bigger package — but fifteen-plus children usually do need a second performer. We would rather recommend the right one than sell you the longest one.
Magic, reptile encounters, pony rides, face painting, princesses and foam all come from the same team, so a larger party can be built as one booking rather than three suppliers.
Not subcontractors found on a booking site. Our entertainers are part of our team and are experienced with children’s parties. A female performer is available on request — just ask when you book.

On a large lawn the hardest part is getting everyone in one place facing one way. Choose that spot before the day — ideally shaded, with the sun behind the children and a hedge or wall behind the performer — and the show runs itself.
The sound system needs an outlet. If the gathering spot is a long way down the garden, have an outdoor-rated extension run before we arrive, or tell us and we will plan the setup closer in.
Ponies need firm level ground, vehicle access to reach it, and a riding area kept separate from the rest of the party. Send photographs of the space when you enquire and we will give you a straight answer on whether it works before you book.
Tell us the date, the address and roughly how many children. We will confirm availability and the full price before you commit.
