Mean clown. if you are working with the kids you must be kind and patient. Yes, sometimes kids do get excited, but that's because they like your show. You just being mean to them. Sad sad sad. If you don't want them to get too close to you put a fense of some kind, but you choose to push their belongings with your foot. Basically you just thrown a little kid's hat with your boot so he would crawl to the other part of the room so he would get away from your face. That's what you needed? Up until that moment I would hire you, now wouldn't leave my kids with you in the same room. Disappointed.

Keith came and performed for an industry trade show in the evening during the cocktail and food reception part. He was tremendous. Every single table he hit he would engage the people there, and everyone really loosened up because of his presence and demeanor. To be clear, we were a bunch of adults and we were still all quite impressed with his performance. Person after person at the end of the night commented on how enjoyable it was to have Keith there, doing his thing. For an event like this, it was absolutely perfect. Highly recommended.

I have hired Keith three times for my children's parties. He always does a great job with the magic, juggling and balloons for the kids.
