The 2-Hour Complete Party is £335 at weekends and bank holidays, or £325 on weekdays and for schools. The Deluxe Birthday Event is £495.

How long is the show, and what is the difference between the packages?
The 1-Hour Magic Party is a full hour of live magic and comedy with your child as the star, ending with a live rabbit finale. The 2-Hour Complete Party adds 40 minutes of fun games, a food break and a cake ceremony, so you only need to provide the venue and the food. The Deluxe Birthday Event adds personalised videos before and after, a magic set for the birthday child, and a balloon hat, wand and Learn Magic booklet for every child.
What ages is the show for?
The party shows are perfect for ages 3 to 9 and work for any size of group. Every show is tailored to your birthday child. For ages 9 to 18 there is a separate Young Adult party, a 2 hour event for £375.
How do I book, and what is the booking fee?
A £50 booking fee secures your date. It comes off your total (it is not an extra) and the balance is paid on the day. You can check availability and book online, send an enquiry through the form on the website, or ring Paul on 07958 229 060 between 9am and 8pm any day. Weekends fill up fast.
Where does Paul travel to?
Paul comes to you across Oxfordshire, Warwickshire, Northamptonshire, Buckinghamshire, London and everywhere in between. Travel is free within 15 miles of Adderbury, then 50p per mile each way.
Is Paul DBS checked and insured?
Yes. Paul holds a Basic DBS certificate and is insured, and is a member of The Magic Circle and Equity. His insurance certificate, risk assessment and PAT certificate are available to download from the documents page.
Is there really a live rabbit, and is it guaranteed?
Yes. Paul has two rabbits and every effort is made to bring a bunny to every show, so the children get to meet a real rabbit called a Fluffybottom. The bunny can't be guaranteed, though. If both rabbits are ill, Paul won't bring either of them and will perform the show without a bunny. That has only happened three times in all his years of performing.
What if something goes wrong?
Every package comes with a 100% money-back guarantee.
What optional extras can I add?
Kids Learn Magic Tricks (booklets and videos with simple magic lessons for all ages, 5 amazing tricks) are 40p each. Magic wands are £1.50 each, one for every child. Pre-made balloons for every child are £1 each for hats or £1.50 each for animals. Levitation, where your child floats, is £30. As a special offer for up to 30 children, the booklets, videos and balloon hats together are £50, with £1 per extra child over 30.
What is the My Party Hub?
Every family that books gets a personalised My Party Hub at myparty.magicpaul.co.uk, headed with your birthday child's name. The hub and the personalised invitations are included free. It has a countdown to the party, an invitation builder, RSVP tracking and games, and it can be added to your phone's home screen. The link arrives by email after you book.
Do you do parties for teenagers?
Yes. The Young Adult party is for ages 9 to 18 and costs £375 for a 2 hour event: a close-up magic show, a magic teaching session and a short show where the birthday child makes a real rabbit appear (the bunny can't be guaranteed). Smaller parties work best, but there is no limit on numbers.
