Interactive comedy magic for children aged 3–12, with a live bunny meet-and-greet and balloon sculptures for every guest. We cover Short Hills, Millburn and the neighbouring Essex County towns. Compact setup that works just as well in a living room in February as in a garden in June. No deposit on staffed entertainment.
Short Hills is a community inside Millburn Township, not a municipality of its own. It sounds like pedantry until an entertainer ends up at the right road name in the wrong part of the township, so we ask for a full street address rather than a town name. That single detail prevents most of the arrival problems we see in places organised this way.
The other thing that shapes parties here is the calendar. Short Hills has a proper winter, and a good share of birthdays land in months when a garden is not an option. Our setup is built for that: the performer works in roughly a four-foot square, needs a power outlet and somewhere for children to sit together. A living room with the coffee table pushed back, a finished basement, or a playroom all work without any compromise to the show.
The magic itself runs about forty-five minutes and is interactive throughout — children come up, hold things, inspect things and say the magic word much too loudly. The birthday child is the magician’s assistant. A live bunny appears afterwards for a guided meet-and-greet, and from the one-hour package upward the performer twists balloon sculptures for every child who wants one. If the guest list is large, a second performer keeps the queues moving rather than stretching the same person thinner.
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.
The whole show fits in about a four-foot square with one outlet. Nothing is cut when a party moves indoors — it is the same magic, the same bunny, the same balloons.
Every package price is published on this page and on the booking form. You will know the figure before you agree to a date, and there is nothing to pay until the performer has actually done the job.
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, and performers will take their shoes off indoors — just say when you book.
A selection of our entertainment photos. Activities depend on the package you choose; these images are not specific to one location.
Short Hills is part of Millburn Township, and a few road names continue across the township. A full street address on the booking request removes any chance of the performer being sent to the wrong end of the same road.
For an indoor show the single most useful thing you can do is decide where children will sit and move the furniture before guests arrive. Ten minutes of shifting a coffee table beats doing it with twenty children already in the room.
Old Short Hills Park, Taylor Park in Millburn and the edge of the South Mountain Reservation are all popular for warmer-weather birthdays. Permits and shelter bookings go through the township or the county — arrange that before you fix the entertainment time.
Tell us the date, the street address and roughly how many children. We will confirm availability and the full price before you commit.
