April 23, 2024A Preschool Hit!
ZigZag the Magic Man combined music, comedy, and magic to enthrall a group of 30 preschool-aged children. They laughed uproariously and were delighted and amazed by the appearance of the rabbit and many other "tricks."

September 21, 2026Super experience with Zig Zag
We hired Zig Zag for our fundraiser event to keep children entertained with face painting. Not only was he excellent as a face painter, but when all the kids had gotten painted, he kept them entertained with additional entertainment - it was key to ensuring our parents stuck around for the whole event. Many of the kids told me directly that they LOVED their experience. Huge win for us. Thanks again.

October 9, 2024Great face painter
We hired Zig Zag for our daughter's 4th birthday party and were very pleased. The kids loved it and the designs were awesome! We hired them for 1.5 hours and they were painting the entire time. Would definitely recommend booking Zig Zag the Magic Man!

What to expect
Children love to be part of the show. That's why Zig Zag's shows include them at every possible turn. There will be tons of laughs, puppetry, music and a very natural and encouraging give and take. Don't forget to ask for Popcorn, the magical Netherland Dwarf bunny. The kids can meet and pet him after the show.
If you add balloon twisting, face painting, glitter tattoos or fresh cotton candy as part of one of our package deals the kids will be fully entertained throughout the party.
Expect us to be early to set up all the magic in time for your guests to arrive and enjoy. Expect us to be completely reliable and friendly. Expect age-appropriate entertainment that is anything but ordinary. Expect communication to be timely and thorough. And expect your experience to be smooth and easy from start to finish.
About
Zig Zag began his journey as a children's entertainer with an agency called "The Funniest Clowns in the Whole Wide World". It was a perfect fit for him because his mom used to alway say, "Don't disappear" But he couldn't resist. And when she took him to the mall with him early in life she asked him to wait near the magic shop with his hot dog snack while she looked at some dresses nearby. There was a monkey in a cage right in front of the shop. Mom returned in a few short moments to find he had made the hot dog disappear! She was very impressed until she noticed the monkey, who had grabbed his hot dog was enjoying it as he stood in shock.
What makes Zig Zag the Magic Man the best choice in children's entertainment for your birthday party?
Your child and guests will be absolutely thrilled to see what he has in store at each and every show. From puppetry to juggling to magic to physical silliness, music, games and improvisation Zig Zag interacts frequently with every audience in a very natural, encouraging and inspirational way. The big laughs you'll see and hear come from time tested funny routines kids have been watching at 1000's of his shows from New York to Florida. (He currently serves Maryland, DC and Virginia)

Setup requirements
All we ask for is a rectangular table. Smaller venues need not have electrical outlets. We have sound equipment that is battery operated. Oh, there's one more thing we need from your. Kids! And plenty of them. The more the merrier.
