Here are the 3 Key Elements To making Your Halloween Spooktacular, Fun & A Huge Success! The Secret to Making this  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!

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!
