The Children's Party Survival Guide by Andy Green
My local newspaper the Wrexham Leader did a great story about my online virtual magic shows for children. Using Video Call technology I have been connecting friends and family with an online interactive magic show. The response to these shows have been overwhelming and some of the heartwarming messages I have had from parents afterwards about how it has brought laughter back to their homes once again during a long period of lockdown isolation has been wonderful. The online virtual magic shows are interactive in much the same way a live show would be and the children wave their wands and help make the magic happen. It is a fun online entertainment experience that is great for birthday celebrations, family get togethers or for schools and nurseries to connect their pupils. Obviously as it is an online experience it is not restricted to just local parties or families. So far I have had the pleasure of performing virtual magic shows to families across the country. Local areas in Cheshire, Chester, North Wales and even as far as London. To read the full news story click here
It is always nice for children to receive a party bag souvenir from the day but it can be a complicated affair as to what to get. Obviously if you have a themed party then the take away bags can follow this but there are many many more options. Obviously cost plays a big part in this element of the party. If you have 50 children attending you do not want to be spending a fortune, so often simple is the best route to take. Unisex gifts are also a good option as this means that on the day the bags can be give out quicker and you do not have to know exactly who will be receiving them. We all know kids love to get new toys but parents can get frustrated if their child is given something that will cause a mess or makes a lot of noise. Sending a load of kids home with party blowers will not make you the most popular of people. From experience party blowers are good fun but can be a nightmare during and after parties. Plenty of headaches have been caused by such novelties. If you prefer the DIY option then the main UK supermarkets often stock a party range that you can pick and mix from at fairly reasonable prices. UK Pound shops are also a great source of low cost novelties.
