I am doing daycares all this and next month (every day in fact), but I will admit my fee is a lot lower than my normal birthday party price. But its all mid-week work and most of it is local.
There is no educational nature to my current show, in fact because of the age range of the children I have dropped many of my standard theming elements and simply focused on a show that presents the best possible visuals on stage (theres a reason for this, but that's not important to this thread). My show in these daycares are all one hour each. Although like my show today, the children were fifteen minutes late getting into the room, so that made it shorter and occasionally it is shortened for other reasons. But there are no balloons and no games. All magic routines. The structure is important for keeping their attention for that length of time and its taken a lot of work redesigning several of my tricks for this market. But I'm glad I've done it as it has improved my overall show for all parties. I tried doing 30 minute shows and hated it. It never felt like long enough and the children had just warmed up to me so I wanted to do more and they wanted to see more. Its also fun getting those compliments from the staff at the end saying how you kept all the children entertained for an hour. Little do they know that my usual show length is two hours and I've done six hour shows in the past! But I know if I had to structure 12 differently themed shows then coming down on the time limit make be something I have to do. Steve |
