Magic Party Tips and Tricks…

Most magic themed parties follow a simple color scheme: black, white and red everything. You can change up this theme by including some other darker colors. However, black and red are more commonly known as “magic party,” colors. Stripes and polka dots are a fun way to bring more life to your party, as they are able to add depth and texture to make your party really pop!

You can also choose to add more color to your party like this vintage magic party. Catch My Party included some pinks and purples to create the ultimate vintage magic themed party. You can choose to go with a more traditional color theme. On the other hand, you can follow Catch My Party and add more pops of color. Don’t forget to add as many stars and playing cards to bring in as much magic and flare as you can! You can even throw in a few top hats and bunnies to really complete your magic themed party.

Walk Around Magic

Whether you are hosting a cocktail party, a reception or even a small event, this walk around magic package offered by RJ’s Amazing Entertainment is perfect for you! Your guests will surely be entertained with James the magician. He walks through the party starting conversations and performing small magic tricks as he goes.

These smaller types of parties are not usually kid-friendly. Nevertheless, a few kid-friendly changes can make a cocktail party perfect for both you and your children. A fun photo booth is something perfect for both adults and children. All you will need to make your own DIY photo booth is a fun backdrop and magic themed props. Think along the lines of polka dots, stripes or both! The props you choose do not have to only be magic themed. In fact, anything that you think your guests will enjoy using to let loose and snap some goofy pictures!

Another fun and creative approach to photo booth props would be to print out some pictures of famous past magicians for your guests to include into their pictures. If you do choose to stick with a strict magic-only theme you can use bunny ears, top hats, mustaches, bow ties and even some magic wands for your props. A simple and cost effective way to maximize your party would be to make the props on your own. All you would need are some thin, wooden skewers and some colorful construction paper, which you can buy at your local craft store.
