Ritchie is not able to offer triple birthday parties i.e., for 3 birthday party children/3 families or more for logisitical reasons. Why?
Come to see Ritchie Rosson’s Funny Halloween Magic Shows this Halloween at Bourne Hall in Ewell, Epsom.
Ritchie Rosson is back! Bringing his funny family magic shows to the awesome Bourne Hall in Ewell Epsom.
Tickets on sale soon.
Good to see my Ritchie outfits getting worn. Gave some stage hats to the charity shop. This man I saw in Asda is NO DOUBT a huge fan of Ritchie Rosson’s magic shows 🙂
Avoid big, echoey halls as they are terrible for a children’s birthday party. Especially if are having entertainment like a magician. Every sound bounces around the room; children shouting, laughing, music, and adults talking; creating a headache-inducing ball of noise. Even many jokes are missed as you cannot hear what is said. So therefore less laughs, less fun. Your guests will have their fingers in their ears.
Look for venues with a car park for yourself and your guests. Small village halls and church halls are great. Home parties are great too. For parties at home, I recommend inviting no more than 15 children. For halls, around 30 is a good number.
Avoid town center venues as they are tough for guests to park in.
Check that the venue has a kitchen and if you wish to serve alcohol to the grown-ups, check they don’t have a “no alcohol” policy.
Booking 30 minutes before and after the party is possible to set up/pack down, but an hour each side of the party times (especially before the party) is best for you. Book the hall for a two-hour party for four hours if you can. Ask a few friends/family to help with setting up/packing away to move chairs, etc. 2 hours is the ideal length for a children’s birthday party.
Book your entertainer such as Ritchie Rosson (me!), before you book the hall. There are loads of halls around but only one Ritchie! “Oh no, you are booked already? Can you cancel the other party?” Sorry, no!
Ritchie Rosson is a magician and children’s entertainer based in Sutton, covering London, Surrey and Kent for birthday parties, school shows and family events.
Did you see Meghan on the Jamie Kern Lima podcast? It was quite a performance from them both. I had to make a parody video.
Here is a previous one I did! 300k views! Wow.
The pomodoro method has changed my life. New video on my new ADHD YouTube channel. Subscribe if you like this kind of video.
It may sound odd, but the way you arrange the room with chairs for a magic/comedy show makes so much difference to the success of the show. There’s a reason that theatre’s have chairs fixed in that way as opposed to scattering them around the room.
Amazing, funny, children’s entertainer and magician; Ritchie Rosson for your children’s birthday party, school, or family event!

Soft play can be amazing fun for young children. Check online reviews to check soft play centres that have friendly, helpful staff, parking, and most importantly, great coffee.
I have entertained over the last 12 years at over 1,500 birthday parties and learned a lot along the way.
At a birthday party with an entertainer magician such as Ritchie Rosson (that’s me!) some parents have an idea that “we need something for the toddlers! Let’s hire some soft play.”) It’s a terrible idea. I had two of my birthday parties ruined by soft play being hired and it being thrown around the room and kids slamming each other into it.
Less is more! Because I want the children to have the most fun at my parties and my lovely clients to be super happy; as of Autumn 2023 I am no longer offering my entertainment at birthday parties with soft play.
