Birthday Parties & Private Family Events

The Entertainer Your Kids Already Know and Love, Now at Your Party

A 45-minute show built for the whole family, not just the birthday kid.

Real magic. Real comedy.

The same energy thousands of schools already love.

Brought straight to your living room or backyard.

This Isn't Your Average Birthday Magician

There are plenty of great beginning magicians out there for a few hundred dollars, and for a lot of families, that's a perfectly good choice.

But if you want one of the nation's most experienced kids' and family performers, that's a different tier entirely.

Tim has entertained for the Country Music Association, the Chicago White Sox, twice at the White House, at the largest county fair in America, and at a private party held in Michael Jordan's former home.

This is that same performer, brought to your celebration.

From The White House

“Thank you for coming to the White House Easter Egg Roll and especially for entertaining children and their adult guests. Your engaging performance delighted everyone and helped create happy memories for thousands of military families.”
George W. Bush and Laura BushThe White House, Washington, D.C.

The same stage presence, whether it's a concert hall or your living room.

Not Just for the Kids

Tim's shows are built so adults enjoy them every bit as much as kids do. Whether it's just the birthday crowd or the whole extended family, everyone stays engaged, not politely waiting near the cake table for it to be over.
