Johnny Valdes and his asome magic show!
I loved his show, kids were participating, yes we had few kids out of control, but who doesn't! we are a big organization who helps kids to stay out the streets. If you hired johnny o another magician you are also responsable to gather your kids to sit and watch the show. Is not Johnny's job to chase any kid.
In my opinion and my board of trustees, Johnny did an excellent job, and yes we are going to hired johnny once again next year.

About
Johnny Valdes has over 23 years as Kiko the Clown. His magic began at the age of 10 when his dad took him to the circus. Johnny was amazed by the acts; especially the magician's act. Johnny began his clown adventure in Monterrey, Mexico, with the help of local clowns. In the '80's, Johnny Valdes worked next to Gaspar Roberto Gomez Bolanos, Enaine Capulina, and Chiquilladas.
Magic was in his mind, so Johnny went to the public library to get books about magic. When he was in 6th grade, he performed a few routines for social hour on Fridays.
He created Kiko the Clown to combine magic and clowning to his show.
Johnny Valdes attended drama classes to learn acting. To John's surprise, his teacher Arnulfo Arizpe was a professional magician, who was also a good actor. John learned not only magic, but acting from him. John combined those to create his first professional magic act. He did a show on his own birthday and his grandma gave him $20.00, which he used to buy more magic props. Next he added a few letters to his first name, and became "Johnny" for his stage magic.
Kiko (John Valdes) will bring the laughter and joy to your party.
