Birthday Party (Kids)Reviewed on October 8, 2017From Upper Marlboro, MD

Ken Caplin/ The Funny Guy was excellent! We gave my daughter a magic themed party for her tenth birthday at our home. Ken was very professional as he arrived early to allow time for set up. Most guests arrived late but he was very accommodating and put on an excellent show that entertained kids (ranging from 2-10) and adults. He filled the room with laughter and had some great tricks that included a live animal. I highly recommend him to all.

Ken - a big thank you for keeping the kids entertained during my son's birthday. Ken was simply the best! He was punctual, well-organized, funny, and engaging. I must admit that I was skeptical about hiring a magician given that I have never done it before – but I don’t regret one minute of it. If I had to do it all over – Ken will be the person that I will chose! Trust me, with Ken in the room, you will be able to have some adult time while the kids are having a blast. Thanks Ken!

Ken was a hit at my son's 4th birthday party. The balloon creations were the best i've ever seen, and the kids absolutely adored Ken. I would recommend him to any parent looking for fun, engaging party entertainment.

Ken Caplan was fantastic! He kept a group of 4 year olds and their parents very entertained! Additionally, he makes the best balloon creations. A sure hit!

Ken was very timely and professional. He was patient and accomodating (even among the mild chaos of a family party) and took his role as "event entertainer" very seriously. He interacted with the children very well and had jokes and tricks that were appropriate for their ages(4-9). He was early enough to set up and get the guests warmed up as they trickled in, even though he had to travel through falling snow! I am definitely glad we chose Ken.

PicnicReviewed on May 18, 2012From Timonium, MD

Ken Caplan was amazing at our spring picnic. His strolling magic was terrific and his balloon sculptures were fantastic. He had kids following him and surrounding him at all times. Not only were the kids amazed, the parents were too! I would definitely hire Ken again!!

Birthday Party (Kids)Reviewed on January 16, 2012From Bowie, MD

Both the young and the not-so-young party attendees LOVED Mr. Kaplan's show. His act held the attention of all that gathered for my 9 yr. old son's birthday party. The children laughed and screamed. Smiles never left the faces of the grown-ups. He involved many in his act. He is both funny and talented. He came early to prepare his stage. Before his show began, he walked through the party and performed tricks that no one could figure out. At the culmination of his show, he handed out very creative balloon figures he had prepared beforehand. I recommend hiring Mr. Kaplan for any crowd: both the young & the young at heart. Definitely a five-star show!

Christmas PartyReviewed on December 16, 2011From Chantilly, VA

Ken is a talented magician and left us all wondering how he did his tricks! The children at our event were enthralled because he worked his magic down at their level and did tricks that involved them in the magic. He also made clever and unusual balloon animals that every child wanted. Many of the woman also went home with cute balloon bugs sitting on their wrists! He made sure to spend time with all the groups spread throughout the office and accomodated every special request. As one of the people who organized this event I can say that the process to hire him was easy, he arrived promptly, and worked the full time for which he was hired.

CelebrationReviewed on November 20, 2011From Baltimore, MD

Ken was great. From the first phone call to the final good-byes, he was great. I got a good vibe from him from the first phone call and that feeling was maintained throughout my interaction with him. I hired him for my four hour housewarming and he was funny and TALENTED! I have no idea how he did what he did, but I liked it. He amazed and amused all my guests. He even did a little magic show at the end. Hire him, you won't be disappointed.

Birthday Party (Kids)Reviewed on November 13, 2011From Germantown, MD

Ken faced one of the most challenging audiences that exists. A large group of four years old boys and girls. Within minutes, he had them eating out of his hands. They were laughing and gasping at the magic tricks. My four year old daughter loved the show and the balloon animals at the end were the perfect touch. I highly recommend Ken.

Ken did a great job at our Halloween Party entertaining both the kids and the grown ups with his magic and balloons. If you are considering booking Ken - do it now. You'll be glad you did.

Ken was awesome..He made our son's 5th birthday party a success!! The kids really enjoyed him, as well as the adults... He knows how to keep the crowed entertained. Ken done such a great job, that the next day my 5year old son said he wants to become a magician :)... We were truly satisfied! We also like the fact that he includes the children and adults in some of his acts. We would surely recommend Ken to others.

Ken arrived in plenty of time to set up and meet with some of the children before he started his show! I really liked the way Ken included the kids in his act along with some of the adults! All the kids had a great time and didnt want him to leave! This was our first time having a magician and Ken Caplan was an exellent choice! THANKS KEN for making my 10 yr old daughters birthday party a success!! Christie

Birthday Party (Kids)Reviewed on February 13, 2011From Westminster, MD

Ken is FANTASTIC! He amazed and won over even the hardest to please guests. He had a tough job entertaining a crowd of 60 ranging in age from 1 to 90 and surpassed our greatest expectations! We were apprehensive that each table would be "in their own world", however, Ken did a great job breaking the ice and getting everyone involved, even going table to table prior to the start of the show. Our grandson had 9 hours of open heart surgery at 3 days old and we wanted his first birthday to be a very special event -- Ken met that requirement, and then some! At least one person at each table asked us where we had found him and commented on how great he was.
