You certainly achieved that objective. Thank you so much for being a performer I could trust to be exactly what he purported to be. I would highly recommend the magic of Mark Crocker and his puppet family to anyone who was seeking hilarity, audience interaction and performer integrity."

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring family entertainment is $500, with prices from $140 to $1,650+. Cost varies based on the entertainer's experience, show duration and the range of activities or acts included. Family entertainment packages often combine multiple elements such as magic, games, balloon modelling and music.

The family entertainers include a wide range of acts suitable for all ages, such as magicians, puppet shows, circus performers, balloon artists, interactive game shows, face painters, stilt walkers and character appearances. Many acts combine several elements for a complete family show.

A close-up or table-based act needs very little, while a stage show, inflatable or workshop-style activity needs a clear area and good headroom. Outdoor bookings usually need level ground and a plan for wet weather. Giving the performer the room dimensions when enquiring avoids a surprise on the day.

Some acts perform a set show of 30 to 45 minutes, while others provide continuous activities across several hours. Longer bookings often include a mix, with a headline show and drop-in activities either side. Confirming the running order early lets the performer plan breaks sensibly.

Both are common. Shorter bookings are usually priced by the hour or per show, while a full family day is more often quoted as a package covering several acts or a longer run. A package tends to work out better where the event runs across an afternoon.

The best family entertainers engage all age groups with a mix of comedy, magic, music and interactive games.
