INVITATION IDEAS
Magic birthday party ideas for invitations are easy to make, and the kids can even help!
• For cheap and cheerful invitation ideas, which the kids can help make, print out invitations with wizard pictures on, and decorate with plenty of glitter and stars.
• One of the best and most interesting magic birthday party ideas is to write invitations on black paper with glitter or metallic pens, and roll them up to make a magic wand. Some Snopake or white paper on the ends to make white tips, and hey presto, you have magic wand invitations!
• Buy a few small magic tricks, send them out with the invitations, and announce a Grand Magic Competition at the party.
DECORATIONS
Party tableware
• Most kids think of rabbits and hats, capes and wands when you say “Magician” or “Magic”, so partyware, napkins etc. decorated with this theme look cool and are sure to please.
• Alternatively, you could invest in some Harry Potter partyware which is both attractive and eye-catching, and entirely in keeping with a magic theme. Most kids love Harry Potter, and it’s a cool variation on a magic party.
Room Decorations
• Glow in the dark stars and LOTS of glitter! Magic sparkles, so glittery and bright is best.
Specials for the special child
• Magic birthday party ideas just have to include a top hat, cape and wand for the birthday child, if not for everyone. It’s a minimum requirement!
• A Magician set for the birthday boy or girl makes sense and will delight for a long time after the party magic has faded. If you keep the birthday party theme a surprise, a Magician set makes an interesting birthday present on the big day!
• Magic sets can be bought which contain a number of different simple tricks, which makes a good starter pack for any budding magician. Or you can break them up and distribute the tricks to guests.
Gifts and accessories for guests
• All guests will need a magic wand, magic birthday party ideas just aren’t complete without one!
• Felt top hats are not actually as expensive as you might think, and one per child will make the day a roaring success.
• Magic tricks for guests will guarantee everyone is kept occupied.
• You can also get special items such as Magic Hat lollipuppets.
Party favors and goody bags
It’s easy to buy party favors on a magic theme, containing magic sticker sheets, glow in the dark sticks, magic tricks etc. Look ot this amazing Hocus Pocus Favor Pack - it has everything to start the performance right away ;-).
GAMES AND ACTIVITIES
Magic Competition
One of the great magic birthday party ideas is a competition. If you send out tricks with the invites, each little magician can practice at home and at the magic party get on stage, wear a Magician’s cape and show off their trick, with a prize for the best performance. You could also just have the competition without sending out tricks.
Pin the Wand on the Magician
This old favourite is like pin the tail on the donkey, but with a wand and a magician. Closest to the Magician’s hand wins.
Making Magic Potions
Whether you make potions with the food, as a separate event, or as a potion making competition, magic potions are a one of the simplest magic birthday party ideas. Provide some simple jugs of water fizzy drinks, and mixers such as Koolaid, juice etc in bright colours, and make plenty of ice cubes. Add a dose of sherbet just before mixing for that magic fizz and hocus pocus and hey presto - magic potions are served!
Magician and Harry Potter Fancy Dress
Kids love dressing up, and they can come dressed as their favorite magician or Harry Potter character.
Find the Magic Wand
This is a version of “Pass the Parcel”. One child is blindfolded, and you pass a Magic wand round amongst the others and when the music stops, everyone hides their hands behind the their back. The blindfold comes off and they have to guess from guilty faces who holds the wand. It’s one of the simplest magic birthday party ideas.
