Victoria Magician Donald Dunphy - Magic Shows on Vancouver Island and BC

Children laugh louder with Donald Dunphy the magician. My “Happy Birthday Magic Show” is high-quality professional entertainment created just for children’s birthday parties. Shows feature audience participation, clean comedy, storytelling, magic tricks, stage illusions, mystery, surprise, and fun. Most of my birthday shows are for children celebrating a 4th through a 10th birthday.

Included in my birthday shows are several special touches to make the show a one-of-a-kind memory for your child, and their friends. One special touch is a personalized magic trick featuring your child’s photo, where they “disappear” and then “reappear”. This makes them the star of the show, as their photo is featured right on one of the tricks (the personalized trick is optional, but 99% of parents love this free bonus.) In one of my birthday packages, the birthday child can actually "float" in mid-air in front of their friends, which again makes them feel magical and special. And they get to keep an instant photo souvenir of when they floated.

Several show options are available, all featuring my special performance style, showmanship, and rapport with the children. A big highlight is all of the audience participation, making the kids the stars of the show as they help make the magic happen. There will be many opportunities to take photos or video.

When you book a show, or inquire about a show, I'd be happy to send you a free copy of my Birthday Party Tips Booklet, along with my birthday show information kit.

“Wow, what a show! Not only were the children captivated by his performance and boasting huge smiles and giggles, but so were the adults! Donald’s show is very professionally organised from beginning to end. The focus is naturally on the birthday child; however, Donald incorporates all the children by inviting them up to assist him. He ensures each child has the opportunity to answer silly questions, receive funny hats and balloon animals and most importantly, laugh and laugh and laugh! We chose the ‘Gold Package’ birthday show and Donald made our 6-year-old float in the air! To see the look on the childrens faces was amazing!”

“…still recalling her favorite moments…”
“Even now almost two weeks after her party, she is still recalling her favorite moments from the party and they were not the cake or opening her gifts, but when her favorite little friends were up on stage helping the magician.”

“…I knew that it was a good idea to hire you…”
“I knew that my daughter would love the show because she had seen you twice before. She begged for you to come to her party so I knew that it was a good idea to hire you. I had no idea that the adults in the audience would love it just as much! The hour flew by and we were all enthralled! We laughed and enjoyed it just as much as the kids!”

“…highly energetic and engaging…”
“Although he was up late the night before and early that morning with other engagements, you would never know it. His performance was highly energetic and engaging during the hour-long showtime (not easy to do with a room full of 6-7 year olds)! The quality of his show was excellent. He made sure that he remembered all of the children’s names. He also encouraged participation from each child to help out during the show, so that everyone felt included. His show was professional and well choreographed, with magic tricks and jokes that were entertaining and age-appropriate. I was also very fun for the adults to watch as well. Selena certainly didn’t feel like she missed out of the waterslides, and she really enjoyed having him in our home.”

“…able to keep their attention for the whole show…”
“I just wanted to let you know how truly wonderful you made my son’s 7th birthday party. Josh was so happy as well as his friends. The other moms told me how much their kids enjoyed the magic show. It was so nice that you were able to keep their attention for the whole show. I will definitely recommend you to everyone I know. Thanks again.”
