Birthday Center Is Closed
But Abra is still open. We have loads of bookings, classes, and camps set for 2025. Yet I want to take a moment to say goodbye to the Abra Birthday Center:
Due to increased costs and rents Abra-Kid-Abra closed their Birthday Center in Webster Groves.
It has been a GREAT decade plus of birthday parties at our center. Thanks to all who have attended. For now, we will bring the same fun, minus the inflatables, to your locations around the region.
And more good news, the space is on its way to be a center for a regional kids sports league. Same service to the kids and community, but different type of magic.
The Usual Review:
Review left by Megan Z..
We had a joint birthday party for our daughters— ages 7 and 5. About 35 kids. The party was a success. The space was cozy and kept the kids completely entertained. The magicians understood kids and their level—the magic show was the highlight. I strongly recommend this space for birthdays, especially the 4-7 age group.
Red Ribbon Week and other School Assemblies
2023 and 2024 allow the return of the Full School Assembly. Here important aspects of a schools community, such as Character Education, STEM reinforcement, and even social responsibilities such as anti-bullying and drug/alcohol awareness can reach all the students at one time. Abra-Kid-Abra is proud to offer fun and exciting assemblies to answer all of these needs and more. Details can be found here: Abra-Kid School Assemblies
Magician St. Louis
Looking for a magician in St. Louis? At Abra-Kid-Abra we have been creating laughter and fun with St. Louis magic since 1969. We have worn out quite a few top hats!
Abra-Kid-Abra offer 3 main services:
- Magic shows and related entertainment.
- Teaching magic and variety arts to kids.
Magic Shows
We have a couple main comedy magic shows, and a lot of magic shows for special occasions. Planning a holiday party? We have a holiday magic show. Cub scout banquet? We have a cub scout magic show. We have almost as many magic shows as there are days in the month! If you’d like to sit through them all, let us know and you’ll win a prize. If you want to see them all, let us know and we’ll make you a great deal!
Comedy Magician
All of our magic shows are comedy magic shows. We get your guests laughing and having a lot of fun. Sure, we wow them with amazing tricks. But first and foremost, we want to entertain your guests and provide them with a really fun experience.
In addition to magic shows, we offer a variety of other formats to enhance your event: strolling close-up magician, magic party favors, a magic workshop to teach kids magic they can perform, and a street magician format for fairs, festivals, and large events or open houses.
School Assembly Magician
Magic is a great vehicle to engage students’ attention and—while we have it—use different tricks to convey an educational or character message. Accordingly, we have developed several math magician programs, shows to excite kids about reading, and several character assemblies—Heroes Not Bullies, Winners Aren’t Users, and Pillars of Character. We present these programs at schools, libraries, and any other place in need of an educational or character magic show.
Magic-related Other Entertainment
Would you like to have several different entertainers at your event? We can save you time running around and serve as your one stop shop for the following:
Circus
Circus is a great compliment to magic. We are proud to offer a lot of circus entertainment choices ranging from a single circus show to an entire circus theme party.

Balloon Artist
Money Machine

“The kids loved your magic and circus shows. I have never seen children laugh that hard before! It was definitely one of the highlights of the summer.”
–Emily Lauf
St. Elizabeth’s Child Care Center
“Your magician was SUCH a big hit with our library program kids. I have not heard them laugh so hard or so often as they did with his performance. We are very satisfied with your group and hope to have you come again!”
–Sarah Hunt, Palmer Library
“Our staff loved the performance. The kids were doubled over, belly-laughing at the performer. He had excellent crowd control over our 300 kids. It was controlled chaos and the students had a wonderful time. His Red Ribbon Week message was good and very age-appropriate for our students.”
–Anne Bauer
Caseyville Elementary School
“We don’t know if he was a magician or a hypnotist. He kept over 100 kids mesmerized, sitting quietly hanging onto his every word. They loved it, and we parents loved it, especially since the wild kids were sitting quietly through out the whole show.”
–Mark Detering, Cub Pack 883
“We loved your program! The campers and parents are still talking about yesterday. I would definitely recommend your program. The entertainer was very funny, managed the group well, was entertaining, and engaging. The campers loved the learning part.”
–Ashley Carter
YMCA Carondelet
“I really enjoyed the math magic presentation. Our goal was to get students interested in math and we did. The feedback was very positive.”
–Val Tadaro, Lusher Elementary
“He was fabulous! The kids and teachers loved the magician! He was a true professional from before the actual program began until the rollicking end! He energized and engaged the students, injected just the right amount and tone of references to Reading Week, and best of all sent droves of kids to the Library seeking magic books!”
–Ilene Spevak
Ellisville Elementary
“Your No to Drugs school assembly was great! Two weeks later and the kids are still talking about it excitedly.”
–Karen Fletcher
Prairie Valley Elementary
“Your Pillars of Character Program has a wonderful message. The kids and staff truly enjoyed the Assembly!”
–James Rahm
New Baden School District
“It went FANTASTIC. It was so AWESOME. My family was raving about it all weekend long. It was the best decision she ever made. It was the best money I ever spent. Your magician was OUTSTANDING! I can’t tell you how good. IT was A+++++ . The energy in the room was incredible! I felt like I was 5 again.”
–Angela Hines
“The best birthday party they ever went to. Awesome!!”
–Mrs. Bluestone
“On a scale of one to ten I would give you an eleven! My kids are still talking about you and the magic show.”
–Chrissie Piotrowski
“The party was exceptional. Let me tell you why? 1) Your magician was amazing. He was so good with the kids, they had so much fun. His magic show is hilarious, My mom and I were laughing so hard. 2) The inflatables are a great way to start to get energy out. They loved the basketball inflatables, so perfect for that age. They also had fun racing on the obstacle course 3) I didn’t need to do a thing – well bring a cake. I forgot balloons, but who needed them–the room was decorated so festive, it didn’t need a thing. 4) It was very personalized service. I did not want to go to any of those big bounce places. I wanted something somewhat intimate and nice, but not at my house. Your magician knew all the boys names and called them by name.
Thank you so much for providing such a high level of customer satisfaction. That is something that is very hard to find these days.”
–Nancy Coleman Stranczek
“Word is out that this was an awesome camp!”

“I recommend Abra-Kid-Abra as a community education program. The magicians are very courteous and professional with the staff. They have a wonderful and witty way of communicating with the students as they teach them the mysteries of magic. The children learn something new and have take home items each week to dazzle their families and friends.”
–Gina O’Brien
River Bend Elementary
“*My daughter is very quiet & shy. This was a good way for her to practice doing something in front of an audience.”
–Westridge Elementary Parent
“Lightning Calculations (after school class) has helped my daughter with her math significantly and given her confidence.”
–Willow Brook Elementary parent
““In all my years of event planning, I can’t remember this particular audience ever responding so positively to entertainment. As you so very well know, all of you were requested to stay overtime. The entire group of entertainers provided through Abra-Kid-Abra was truly first-rate. Jeff, if you’re always as popular as you were at our event, I’m surprised that you’re ever available and even more surprised that you’re so affordable.”
–Kathleen Lee
Saint Louis U Med Center
