About this Event
While magic shows for adult audiences are designed to mystify and astound, the best magic shows for children are additionally designed to make the audience laugh, scream, and get caught up in the hijinks of the performer. Enter Silly Billy. Silly Billy performs a highly interactive comedy magic show in which the children laugh from his very first words to the very end of the show. Watch your children as they experience the wonder of magic while laughing their heads off. Silly Billy appeals to all children, including the very young, as well as adults. To children, Silly Billy is very silly, and occasionally even mischievous. Adults like him for his sharp, intelligent wit.
Silly Billy may be the most popular magician for children in New York City. He has been making New York kids laugh for 30 years. He has been named “New York’s Best Children’s Entertainer” by five NYC parenting websites as well as receiving a six-page profile in The New Yorker magazine. He has performed at the White House, Lincoln Center, and his many TV appearances. Silly Billy has been named New York Magician of the Year as well as receiving a Performing Fellowship from the Magic Castle, in Hollywood, California.
He has also written two best-selling books on entertaining children with magic and comedy as well as 175+ articles in magic journals around the world. He also invents and distributes his own original magic tricks for children which are sold and performed by children's magicians in North America, Europe and Asia. He also travels around the world speaking at magician conferences teaching other magicians how to entertain children in his unique, original style. See www.SillyBillyMagic.com
