The secret to entertaining children is to have their full attention so best not to feed them, give them snacks, leave bowls of crisps out during the party.

Marketing children’s magic shows
Sometimes events advertise children’s magic show with a clipart picture of a top hat/fan of cards/rabbit but this does not represent well what we children’s magicians offer in our fun-filled funny family shows. Ritchie Rosson’s shows are great for children from 3 up to 10. A mother of a 4 and 6-year-old will not see a picture of a fan of cards and think it suitable to bring her children to. Children want to laugh and have fun as well as be amazed with magic effects.

If you want me to make a post like this to share on social media let me know or I can send you PNG images to use.
Ritchie is available for family events, primary school shows, pre-school and nursery events and birthday parties in halls and homes.

My fantastic friend and comrade in the crazy world of showbusiness; Rosaria Sativa of Swing out and Shimmy dance classes in London. On this podcast, we talk about Italy, health and fitness and her time with awesome Roger Lloyd Pack from Only Fools and Horses.
Shopping Centre Magic Shows
Why would anyone go to a shopping centre these days when you can buy everything online? Book my magic shows and bring in hundreds of families; buying coffees, staying for lunch, and going to the shops while they are there. If you book me regularly families will come back time and time again. I am known by thousands of families across South London and East Surrey so put me on the posters and on social media.

New showreel video 2024
The good side of my ADHD is when I go into hyperfocus. And boy did I the last two weeks. I spent about 80 hours editing this 7-minute video of my magic shows and children’s entertainment. It’s great fun performing at schools, birthday parties, and family events.

“Seems a bit high!”
Had a complaint on WhatsApp today from a children’s birthday party enquiry. From a business perspective, I don’t think it is necessary to justify one’s prices but I thought it interesting to make a rough breakdown.
Sorry if the prices of my party entertainment are too high. But the cost to hire magician and birthday party entertainer Ritchie Rosson (me) includes:
DBS criminal records check
Public liability insurance
£2000 sound system; iPad, remote control system, cables, spares of cables,
£1000 second sound system in case of unlikely breakdown of first.
£10,000 magic tricks and props; for every trick you see me perform I have bought and tried out 100 times more that weren’t up to par.
£££ balloons, and other tricks that use up materials in the routines.
£££ costumes; shirts, hats, trousers, trainers; all to be new(ish) to look fresh and fun
££ website
££ reasonably up to date iPhone so that I can do emails/messages and other party business for clear communication with my lovely clients.
Cost of my car which I only have for my shows. I walk and run most of the other days.
£20 per month for Adobe Premiere Pro so I can edit videos of my magic shows to not just show to my clients what I do but the process makes me a better entertainer by seeing myself on camera; what I do well and what I don’t.
£££ Attending magic conventions such as The Blackpool Magic Convention .
£££ dvds, books, downloads to learn magic tricks.
£££ cost of a computer and running it to edit all my sound effects and music.
££ my wages for the hours and hours I spend prepping my magic shows, learning magic tricks, editing music etc. You may think the price is for 1 or 2 hours but it’s hundreds of hours of prep time to bring what you see at a party.
£ It’s my full-time job and I think I deserve a reasonable remuneration for dealing with big groups of wild children as well as parents and missing my weekends for your party.
I’ve probably forgotten lots of other things but all worth it for the brilliant fun we have : )

Christmas School Magic Shows
I had a wonderful time in Dec of 2023 performing at lots of schools. Some of them for 50 children, but my favourite is the biggest shows of two or 300 children. Here’s some fun footage of me at St John’s primary in Kingston.
