- E. Cavanagh, Hennepin County Libraries

“It is sometimes difficult to find entertainment that is family friendly and
able to keep all ages engaged. Half Pint & Oscar far surpassed our expec-
tations! Everyone, all ages, was caught from the beginning. The audience

twists! I appreciate the time that Touch of Magic personnel spent with me
to ensure that our program was a hit!

Event Planning FAQs:





How do I qualify for one of your “volume discounts”?
For large events we recognize that you have a lot of people to reach, and
often, on a shoestring budget. That’s why we offer volume discounts when
you bundle your entertainment. Rather than have you get stuck with the
entertainment you can “afford” (which often means sub-standard
entertainers or artists who are untrained or inexperienced, making
them slow and nervous), we’d rather give you the best entertainment
at a discount. For each 10 wo/man hours of entertainment you hire,
you’ll receive 5% off of our services up to 20% off.

But XYZ Company is so much cheaper. Why?
Some companies have to compete with price, because they cannot
compete with quality. Our clients who have used us consecutively for
15+ years recognize that “you get what you pay for”, and their guests
deserve to have something great! You’ll find that, in most cases, we’re on
the high end of middle. If you’re just looking for something cheap, we are
probably not a good match for you.
Aren’t you all offering the same things?
Yes, we offer the same types of entertainment, but they are definitely not
the same! In the Twin Cities, entertainment providers are plentiful, with
promises and prices all over the map. We’re right in the middle. More
expensive than some. Less expensive than others. You need to decide
whether or not you’re more interested in price or quality. Remember that,
of all the things you spend money on, your entertainment will be the single
most talked about element of your party. They won’t talk about the food,
the venue or the prizes. But they WILL reflect on the memories made by
the entertainment (and post about it on social media)! Do you really want
to cut corners there? At the end of the day, saving $200 won’t matter if you
feel like you wasted the $400 you did spend.

We really want to use you, but our budget is
limited. Will you match XYZ company?

We’ll do better than that! We’ll create a proposal for you, either based on
how many people you want to reach, or how much money you have to
spend, and show you how we can reach more people in less time, thereby
saving you money OR reaching more people! (Some companies will charge
a rock-bottom price, even though they can only reach a fraction of the
numbers we can reach. The hourly rate might seem really low, but you’re
not hiring someone to “do time” at your party! You’re paying for a service!)
Let us work our magic with your numbers! If we can’t help you, we’ll try
to direct you to someone who can. We know who’s good and who’s not,
and we want you to have a great experience, even if we aren’t the ones
providing it!

We’ve worked with XYZ company for years.
Why should we switch now?

If you LOVE your entertainment vendor(s), we don’t want you to switch!
Stay put! Book early. Be loyal! (It’s the relationship we have with most of our
clients as well!) But… if you haven’t been 100% satisfied, or if you’ve never
tried to see what else is available, then we invite you to give us a chance. Let
us show you what we can do!

Do you do fundraisers and events for non-profit
organizations?
Absolutely!! We LOVE special events for good causes!
We regularly provide entertainment for churches, synagogues, Relays for Life,
Fundraising walks, 5-Ks, benefits, school carnivals and other events designed
to promote awareness and raise money. People choose A Touch of Magic
over and over again for those events because they understand that it takes
money to make money. And with our event-planning expertise and track
record for success in fundraisers, we can provide additional insights to
increase your exposure and reach your fundraising goals. Remember that
when you are spending money for a fundraiser, every penny has to count! It
is better to get the best entertainment in town at a discount, than the worst
entertainment at full price. We receive 2-4 requests each week to donate
entertainment for some very worthy causes. As much as we would love to,
we are simply unable to ask our artists to work for free, and turn away paid
work in order to accommodate all of the requests that we receive.




“The kids (and adults too) were
laughing their heads off the
entire show!”
- J. Taylor, Hope Kids








If, for some reason, you are not satisfied with your
entertainment, we’ll make it right for you. In fact,
we’re one of the only companies in town which offers
a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee on all of our services!
