Super Party Tips 4-How Much Space Do I Need To Set Up!

Hi this is Ted Peterson, Connecticut's Favorite Family Magician! As promised I have a new party tips video for you. Super Party Tips 4 is finally here!

Lately I've been getting a bunch of phone calls and emails asking about the space requirements of setting up and performing my show!

So with that in mind I took my camera to a real magic show I performed in Burlington CT and shot a live video of my set up, showing the perfect area to have my magic program.

Now not every show is going to have the same space which is ok because I'm extremely flexible. I'm just showing you the ideal space.

Ohhh and at the end there is a really magical appearance of my Dove Ciniamon! I hope you enjoy!

I'll see you soon with Super Party Tips 5!

Thanks for checking us out and leave a comment if you please.

Kindest thoughts!

Back from North Carolina

Some of you maybe wondering what happened to Connecticut's favorite magician over the last week. Wasn't there supposed to be another Super Fun Parties video? Weren't you going to share some Halloween Show pictures? I thought you were going to teach the kids another magic trick?

Yes I was. I just got a little side-tracked over the last week.

You see, yesterday I made it back home from a visit with my brother and his family in North Carolina! I had a great visit with him and his kids, Jake & Morgan. The weather was beautiful but a little cold at night. Not like the snow we are getting here in Connecticut though.

I was able to spend some real quality time with my brother, Trevor. He is doing much better now after being injured in Afghanistan 5 months ago. He is up and around now and able to take his new dog for walks around the neighborhood. We spent some time talking, had taco soup for dinner and took a trip to the bookstore.

Morgan is really into scary movies so we watched a few horror movies I took with me. She also showed me how to check my email with my cell phone! Jake likes chess and has one of the biggest sets I've ever played with! It is huge! Jake is getting really good and even beat me once! We had alot of fun!

Now that I'm back I can get back on track. There will be another Super Fun Parties Video coming really soon. The next one will be on When and How to send the invitations! It will be filled with tips to make your next party Magic!

I'm also going to be posting that magic trick video soon! Its a neat torn and restored newspaper routine anyone can learn in few minutes! The kids will love it!

There will also be some new demo clip videos coming soon to our website, Best Party Magic.com

I have already posted a number of photos on my Face Book profile. You can check them out here: http://www.facebook.com/ted.peterson3?ref=profile

Thanks for joining me again! Please leave me a comment below and let me know what you've been up to lately!

To Your Best Party,

The Secret to Making this Halloween the Best Ever!

Here are the 3 Key Elements

To making Your Halloween

Spooktacular, Fun & A Huge Success!

The Secret to Making this

Halloween the Best Ever!

Hi Friends,

It's tough being put in charge of planning the Halloween program isn't it. There's so much to do and so little time. Lets face it, the summer is barely over and you need to get your fall schedule finished quickly, as the holiday season is right around the corner.

Now another year has passed. You need to make sure this Halloween event is the best ever. So how do you top last year's event?

Here are 3 Elements that will Practically Guarantee

You Have A Fantastic Halloween Event!

"There was lots of Fun and Excitement! The Best

Part was the interaction with our clients and staff!"

Stacy Strassel-Day Break Waterbury CT

First of all you want to create the proper Halloween Atmosphere for your guest. This should include decorations. You can pick these up fairly cheap at a Dollar Store or if you're like me, you can use the ones from last year. I use Jack O Lanterns, Cobwebs, hang Bats and Ghost! If you have a fog machine you can easily set it up on a timer. Some spooky music will go a long way in setting the mood. If you have younger kids you may want to use funny Halloween songs like "The Monster Mash". Another thing that helps set the mood is the food you serve, for example a cake shaped like a headstone filled with gummy worms! You can finds all kinds of thing to serve by doing a quick search on google.

Next you should make sure you have some kind of contests with some prizes! This is huge! Don't forget the prizes. Again you can pick up some really good stuff at your local Dollar store. If you're having a larger community event, you could even approach some local business and ask them to donate a prize for your event! A restaurant would donate dinner for two gift card. A health club might donate a free membership! Check around you'll be surprised! You can do the classic costume contest. You could have a raffle. You can do a coloring contest for kids! You can even do door prizes! Have fun with it and your guest will have fun too. Here is another great place to pick up some prizes: Click Here!

"Thanks for making my Mom's 80th Birthday Something She will Always Remember!"

Bonnie Waring Seymoure CT

The Third key is to hire a professional entertainer to perform at your event! But how do you chose a good entertainer? Sure, you'll find a lot of entertainers out there. But how do you know which to choose? How can you be sure they know how to provide family-appropriate solutions to your group's needs? And how can you feel certain you'll get the best possible value for your investment?

The answer: Hire a Family-Show Specialist.

For family events, you want entertainment that's visual, easy to understand, and (of course) extremely funny. You don't want someone who just recycles old "jokes" the kids won't understand. Children love situational comedy, where crazy stuff happens and everyone enjoys the fun.

You also need to make sure that there is something for the adults to enjoy as well, and not just a 'kiddie show' that bores them and makes them want to chit chat during the program.

You want someone who's spent years working on and perfecting their programs - preferably someone's who's performed thousands of times in front of live audiences. You don't want a part-time entertainer, you want someone who's good enough to work as a FULL-TIME Family Show Professional!

Only by hiring an experienced professional who specializes in kid-appropriate, family friendly entertainment can you be certain you'll get the quality and value your group deserves.

The show was excellent! The best Part was the involvement with the children!

How to Host A Halloween Event That Children & Their Families Will Never Forget!

I'm Ted Peterson with Stage Left Magic. I'm a professional magician and mind reader who specializes in making family and children's events unforgettable and fun! My entertainment programs consist of magic & illusion, comedy, and audience interaction. Best of all, they are literally guaranteed to make you look great as the event planner! In the past, I have used my Halloween programs to boost business and attendance for clients such as: Walden Books, Borders, the Silas Bronson Public Library, Waterbury CT Trumbull YMCA, Alfred State College University, Maple Hill Elementary School and the Buffalo Family Fun Day!

Here Are Two Interactive Halloween Programs That Are So Mystifying and Funny That The Whole Family Will Want To Be Part Of The Show! Guaranteed!

It sounds to good to be true doesn't it? Listen carefully because this much fun magic could be Banned by the state of Connecticut soon!

This Halloween season I will be performing two Brand New Halloween Themed programs. The "Freaky Halloween" program and the "Houdini Lives" magic program!

The Freaky Halloween Program!

This is one of the best theme programs I've ever put together! This is a kids program. It is appropriate for children ages 5-12 years old. Freaky Halloween is 45-55 minutes in length that will astound and tickle every child who attends! Freaky Halloween is literally themed to the spirit of Halloween and is not the same old magic show with a couple of Halloween lead-ins. It includes funny interactive magic that kids will beg to be a part of, Halloween music which really sets the mood of the show, storytelling that will have kids and adults on the edge of their seats and of-course silly ghost and goblins that will amaze everyone with their antics!

Here Are Some the Things Kids Will See and Experience!

· Kids will be Amazed as they make silly Ghost Appear From No Where!

· Funny and Creepy stories will leave kids hanging on the edge of their seats with anticipation of the next amazing surprise!

· They will clap and laugh- out- loud at the Worlds Strangest Magic Trick!

· Kids will Ohhh and Ahhh when they make "General the Magic Bunny Appear!

· They will be Amazed when they Discover that Ghost Really Do Exist! And Much More!

The "Freaky Halloween" program is a complete entertainment program. What do I mean by "complete entertainment program"? Remember when I said that I was going to save you time, money, and hassles putting your event together? This is going to be so easy your going to love it.

Once you decide to book any of my programs you don't need to worry about anything else to do with the program. I only need two things. I need a space to perform the show with an electrical outlet. That's it. I bring everything for the show with me such as: a portable backdrop which transforms any area into a stage, a professional sound system (which saves time and money-you don't need someone to show me how to work your sound system or if you don't have one, you don't need to rent one), I provide all the tables for the show and all of the colorful props. You don't even have to have someone to help me carry things in. I will take care of everything for you, which will free up more of your time so you can actually enjoy the event you have worked so hard on.

The Houdini Lives Program!

Mention magic and most people think of Houdini. Houdini is still the Father of magic even over 50 years after his death. The "Houdini Lives" program is an adult/family program, 1 hour in length, that highlights some of the master's greatest magic effects. The program is geared towards older audiences and explores some of the most famous magic made popular by Houdini! Houdini was also into the supernatural side of magic such as reading minds and trying to establish if it were possible to communicate with those who had past on. He spent many years of his life exposing fake mediums and spiritualist and the "Houdini Lives" program explores these aspects of magic as well. The performance includes incredible stunts and magic made famous by Houdini, including his world famous Straight Jacket escape, a short History of Houdini, a mock séance to try and contact the spirit of Houdini and much more.

Here's Some of the things You Will See and Experience!

· A short History of Houdini the Legend!

· Cringe as you see The Razor Blades effect performed right before your eyes!

· Unbelievably One Spectator will pick up the Thoughts of another Spectator!

· A Séance to try and contact Houdini!

· They will clap and laugh- out- loud at the Worlds Strangest Magic Trick!

· The Spirit of Houdini makes his presence known!

· Witness the Legendary Straight Jacket Escape!

"Ted made our Festival even better than the previous year! He is so easy to work with and well worth his fee!"

Joyce Weiner-Director of International Education-Alfred State College NY

The "Houdini Lives" program is also complete entertainment program. I will take care of everything pertaining to the program and do everything I can to make your event super easy and enjoyable for everyone who attends!

Ok Ted, Everything Sounds Great But What's The Bottom Line?

In the past I have offered my Halloween Theme Shows for $375 and I could easily do so again. Just look at everything you're getting with these programs! You're getting a full hour of unbelievable entertainment with comedy, storytelling, live animals and super fun and interactive magic. And Did I mention every performance I do comes with my Money Back Guarantee?

Often I'm asked by perspective clients, what is the number one reason I should book you rather than some other entertainer. Here's where the rubber really meets the road. I offer a No Questions asked Guarantee on every program I present. What that means to you, is if your not happy with my program or your audience doesn't have a great time you get your money back. I will tear up your check on the spot!

"Ted's professionalism was very impressive, he covered all the bases and made sure I was completely Satisfied!"

Siobhan Paltary-Redding CT

You see, after performing hundreds of programs for kids and families I know what makes a great show and how to deliver it every time! Did you know that in the past 10 years that I have offered this Guarantee not one person has ever asked for their money back. Not one!

Other entertainers have tried to tell me I'm crazy to make such a Guarantee, that eventually someone is going to take advantage of me. They might be right. But my focus is on my clients and my ultimate goal is for them to be 110% satisfied. If their not I'd rather they keep their money. Try finding that kind of Guarantee with a DJ, a band or another magician. For me, having that kind of peace of mind is worth penny.

As I've said earlier, in the past I have charged $375 or more for similar programs but for a limited time, until Oct. 1st, you can get either one of these programs for $225 saving you $150! After Oct. 1st the fee will go back to the regular price of $375.

Why am I offering these programs at such a huge discount?!

We are very blessed to sell-out every year! It's not unusual for us to fill our entire schedule by the end of September. Many organizations re-book us year-after-year and have already reserved their dates for this year immediately after last year's assembly!

However, I prefer to concentrate on performing the shows rather than booking them. If you book a program with us before October 1st, we'll take off a hundred & fifty

Dollars Off!!! This way, we can fill our calendar and get on with our true mission of performing!

Of course, you don't have to have the show by October 1, only book it before then.

Clearly, the value of these programs dwarfs the price of booking me. But, unfortunately, this price won't last long. The deadline is Oct. 1st. Please don't mistake this for sales hype. That's not my style.

"I was overwhelmed by how wonderful your show was. You performed beautifully with all of the kids and six of them had special needs! You kept the children memorized for an hour! You absolutely made my son's birthday special and he will never forget his 10th birthday! You were so easy to work with and a pleasure to have in our home. I would enthusiastically recommend you to anyone who wants a show they will never forget! Thank you for making the day so special!" Margaret Bartiromo-Fairfield CT

I'm mailing this same letter to hundreds of other schools and organizations in the area. Plus I have advertised these programs in papers and local parenting magazines. The dates for these programs are going to go fast.

To avoid being disappointed you need to act quickly and call me right now. If you want to save some real money on your program this is doubly so. After Oct. 1st it goes up to $375.

Here is the phone number: 203-723-7295. For a quicker response email me with the date and time that you would like to book and which program you are interested in. Send email to: ted@bestpartymagic.com

I'd like to thank you for your time and interest in my special Halloween programs. I'm really excited about meeting with you and helping you with your event!

Sincerely,

Professional Magician "Motivating With MAGIC" 203-723-7295 ted@bestpartymagic.com

P.S. Don't forget! The Deadline is October 1st 2009 to save $150!

Get Motivated Seminar in Hartford CT!

Yesterday, I had the privilege of attending the Get Motivated seminar in Hartford CT. It was a sell out at the XL Center with over 19000 attendees! We had to get up really early, 4 AM to make sure we got there ahead of all the traffic and get a good seat in the platinum section on the floor. It paid off and we were in the front row when things kicked off at 8 AM! The speakers included Zig Ziglar, Tamara Lowe, General Colin Powell, Phil Town, Laura Bush, former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani, Steve Forbes and James Smith! Truely some of the most successful men and woman of our time! Joe Montana was the first speaker and talked about the importance of team work. The whole event was just fantastic. Zig Ziglar was an inspiration to everyone. Several month ago while speaking he fell and sustained a head injury that effects his short term memory. His daughter was there to help support him. He gave a very touching presentation on what he calls the "Home Team Advantage" , that encompasses the importance of family, love and marriage to achieve life succes! James Smith took the stage like a firecracker. He talked about real-estate and the importance of getting in the game! His ideas on achieving success almost mirror my own. In my opinion his presentation was the best. He was energetic, straight forward and very funny! If you get the chance to see him live just do it! He is that good. Steve Forbes was incredible. This man should be our next president. If he changes his mind about running he has my vote. If you get the chance to hear him speak just do it. I'll be keeping a close eye on him from now on. I could go on and on about this event and each of the speakers. I picked up alot from attending this event and hope that they have it again next year. I'm always trying to learn more about improving myself and my business. I go to live events like this whenever I can and highly reccomend it. I always get so much more than what I have to invest to go. In fact Tracy and I invested in two other workshops at this event and can't wait to go. I posted a picture of Zig Ziglar above. If you would like to see the rest of the pictures I took please check out my profile on Facebook! Here is the link: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=35615&id=1163910639&saved#/profile.php?id=1163910639&ref=profile As always please share your thoughts about this post and let me know your out there!

Party Planning Tip 6

Best Party Magic’s Tips for A Great Party

Part 6

Hi,

We’re going to continue with our Tips for a Great Party. Today's tip is going to save you a lot of stress by helping you to manage all the kids who come to your party.

Great Party Planning Tip #6

Cake and Ice Cream Last!

This might be one of those things where parents look at me and say, "What?" Believe me when I say that this bit of advise is worth its weight in gold! It has the ability to reduce your stress level more than anything else in these emails.

Why? Having cake and ice cream as the last activity ensures that you'll have the LEAST amount of time to deal with all those sugar-filled bodies!

I've seen parties where the charming group of 20 five year olds suddenly turn into sugar "blurs" because they're running around so much after the cake. It really becomes quite difficult to handle them all sometimes and it can reduce the best planned party to chaos in a heartbeat!

You want to have cake and ice cream about a half hour before the party is scheduled to end. Then by that time the parents will be there to pick up the little ones. It is far easier for them to deal with their child than it is for you to deal with all 20!

You'll be glad you decided to have cake later rather than early.

I'll see you soon with our final tip to having a great party!

Sincerely,

Ted & Stage Left Magic

My Sisters Wedding in front of the Jefferson Memorial, Washington D.C.! Tracy and I just returned two days ago from Washington D.C. and my sister's wedding. The wedding was wonderful. As you can see the we had a lot of fun! The best part for me was catching up with and spending time with my family. I had a rare opportunity to re-connect with my grand-father who just turned 84. Believe it or not he still rides a Harley-Davidson! We really didn't realize just how much we really miss each other until it was time to come back home. Tracy and I also went to see my brother Trevor, who was severely wounded in Afghanistan, a few weeks ago at Walter Reed Hospital. It was just so good to see him and talk with him after everything he has been through. He has a long road ahead of him before he will be up and around but he is doing a little better each day. I'm just grateful he is home and getting the care he needs and for everyone's support and prayers. Thank you so much! Here's what to look for in coming post and a Special Offer!

Party Tips 4

Stage Left Magic's Tips for A Great Party

Part 4

Hi,

Today were going to be talking about one of the best things

you can do to ensure you have a great party!

Great Party Planning Tip #4 How to Structure the Party!

Let's face it. In my opinion, this is the key to the vault. There have

been so many parties I've been to where the kids are just left alone

to run around for an hour or so until the meal is served.

To me, this is a HUGE mistake. To maintain control (as well as your sanity), its necessary to structure the party from top to bottom. This will keep the kids focused and occupied throughout your party.

Here is a good structure to follow. For example, a 1:00 -3:00 party

would go something like this: 1:00-1:30 Games, 1:30-2:15

Entertainment (pinata, magic show, movie, etc.), 2:15-3:00

food/refreshments, 3:00-3:30 Cake and Presents...More on cake

and Ice Cream later.

You may notice that the major activity is scheduled at least 30 minutes

into the party. This is important due to traffic delays and other minor

mishaps that could cause a few of your guest to arrive late. This gives

you an additional 30 minutes for guest to arrive. You might want to use

this time for a quick game of Simon Says or Duck-Duck-Goose.

By structuring the entire party, the event will be more memorable and special for your child because his/her friends will remember all of the 'cool things' they did at your party. You will become Super Mom or Super Dad, the hero and envy of all the other parents!

Be on the look out for Quick Tips for A Great Party - Part 5!
