Box Car Jim was fantastic. He came to my son's birthday party and the kids just loved him! The kids thought his magic was amazing. They loved the dove and the bunny rabbit. The parents liked the show just as much! He was very professional and patient in managing the kids for the entire magic show. I highly recommend Box Car Jim!
He arrived on time and was very polite. He had the kids "on the edge of their seats" with amazement and wonder. The room was filled with smiles from start to finish. He made sure the other children (guests) were not left out, but he did help make the Birthday child's day special. Very good Magician!
