Frequently Asked Questions

How many birthday party packages do you offer?

I offer two birthday party programs, each lasting about 40-45 minutes. They all include tons of laughter, magic, puppets, and wonderful moments of audience participation. If you need something special created for your event, please let me know, I have been doing birthday parties for many years and have a lot of different ideas that we can work into the mix. Note: extra charge may apply

How far do you travel to do a birthday party and do you charge travel fees?

I’ve done birthday parties all across Kansas City & the Midwest. Most of my customers are based in Blue Springs, Lee’s Summit & Independence area. The only travel fees I charge involve doing programs outside this area.

How much space do you need for the typical birthday party?

With most birthday party shows, I’m performing right in your own house. Living or family room works great! I just need a little staging area in front of me for the routines where I have volunteers come forward.

Do you need me to provide a table? Electricity? Anything?

Nope. I bring all my own equipment — sound system, table, everything. Total set up time is about 10 minutes, so we’re ready to roll almost as soon as I arrive. My goal is to make this birthday party totally easy for you.

How much are your various birthday party packages?

My ”Basic” birthday party program starts at $150. I also have my “Deluxe” package which includes more magic and goodie bags for all the kids! If you need a customized package or a different type show, I will work to create one that works for best you and your budget.

Can you include goodie bags?

Yes! I include goodie bags in my ”Deluxe” birthday party show. I included goodie bags for up to 10 kids and it’s only $2.00 more per child after that!

What’s in each goodie bag?

Each goodie bag typically includes items like a fortune telling fish, magic tricks and toys, and a magic wand.

My child is scared of clowns. Are you scary?

Alabama Jones the magician will appear at your party dressed in dark slacks, white dress shirt & tie, a vest, and a very funny hat. Safe. Fun. And totally non-scary at all.

How much experience doing children’s birthday parties do you have?

I have been performing more than 30 years and I am the owner of the local Magic Shop here in Blue Springs named the Magic Supply Company. I have been performing many years as Alabama Jones and I know exactly what it takes to make children laugh while being amazed. I have literally done thousands of shows for families and family events.

But aren’t all birthday magicians / clowns the same? Why shouldn’t I just keep calling until I find the cheapest entertainer?

If getting the cheapest price is your top priority, you should definitely shop around. There’s a difference between “price” and “value” — someone who puts on a sponge nose, buys a couple magic tricks, and hires themselves out as a clown 1 or 2 times a month will probably not cost very much, and most likely will be worth even less.

On the other hand, inviting a professional magician into your home to create an unbelievably enjoyable experience you can confidently share with your family and friends involves a totally different level of value.

Okay Alabama, why should I hire you compared to all the other options available?

Have you ever experienced a family celebration where every child, every family member, every friend sat transfixed with their eyes glued wide open? Where everyone’s jaws just flat out dropped in amazement? Where the walls of the room seemed to practically rock with howls of laughter and fun?

If not, then you’ve never had the pleasure of experiencing one of my birthday party shows. And every one of my birthday party programs is 100% — “no worries, no hassles, no way you’re not going to be thrilled” — money-back guarantee.

There’s absolutely zero risk to you. Your family will get a totally unforgettable birthday party magical variety show packed with laughter, wonder, and incredible Kodak moments guaranteed to create memories that will last a lifetime.
