The Great Disappearing Act: Cakes, cookies and treats
- Wave a pretzel stick in white chocolate, dip into star shaped confetti, and
"poof" you have an instant magic wand.
- Bake Rabbit, top hat and star shaped cookies.
Perform a Magic Show of Your Own:
Who needs a magician? Buy one simple magic trick for each child and with a wave of
your magic wand you have a room full of performers. Here's how to make this
activity extra special:
- Practice makes perfect: Have a disappearing act. Send each kid into a room to
teach them a trick. When all kids have had the chance to secretly practice
their trick, they can perform for the whole group one at a time. Allow kids to
keep their trick as a favor. They will proudly perform this trick again and again.
- Name that little Houdini! Kids feel extra special if you provide them with a
special magician's name to announce their performance. Write down their
name and address the thank you cards with it. Have fun! Here are some fun
magician name ideas to get you started:
- Bella Boudini, Carol Cardini, Jeannie Houdini
- The Great Karl-ini, Carter the Great
- Sarah the Silly, Isabel the Incredible, Frankie the Fantastic
- Gypsie Jane, Swami Steve
- Magical Mike, Marvelous Mindy, Micah the Magnificent
- The Mighty Quinn, The Powerful Pauline
- Wondrous Will, Wonder Girl Wendy, Blake the Boy Wonder
- Transform your puppet theatre into a magic stage by making the
necessary alterations.
- Transform the puppet time theater, right, by Melissa and Doug, easily
be creating a "Magic Time" sign.
- Make your own puppet theatre out of cardboard boxes and design one
just for the party. You might also drape half the room with sheets from
a rope by fastening hooks at either end or use a doorway for the
purpose.

How to have a magical magician's theme birthday party for kids
Your little Houdini is having a birthday. You've got a few tricks up your sleeve and
want to give him a magician's theme party. With a little hocus pokus you can pull a
rabbit out of your hat and pull off a great party. Remember that the real magic is in
the smiles you create. Here's how to set the scene for a magic party with memories
that will last a lifetime:
- A star is born! Sprinkle star shaped confetti along with glitter at the entrance to
elude to the magic inside the party. Star foil decorations are easy enough to
find, but look also for crescent moons.
- Suspend playing cards with fishing wire from the ceiling and drape at doorway.
You may also find casino type playing card cutouts for the walls.
- Borrow paper top hats from New Years Party decorations. Wrap red crepe
paper to cover any "Happy New Years" message.
- Make kids disappear, then reappear as magicians. Outfit the kids with a magician's
mustache made of paper, and other cool home made stuff, such as a magician's
cape, a magic wand, and pin a red carnation. White gloves provide the finishing
touch.
