Birthdays are special occasions. They are cause to celebrate with family and friends if you are one year old or 101 years old. Smiles Unlimited help celebrate Birthday parties in and around Albany New York.

The staff at Smiles Unlimited loves birthday parties. Be it Fuddi-Duddy The Clown or the Fantastical Mr. Fuddi, they have a lot of fun with birthday parties and help everyone present to have a great time.

Our birthday parties start with a traditional comic clown introduction. We like to meet the children. This is the ideal time for our performers to get the lay of the land and establish the performance ground rules, so to speak, while the kids enjoy mingling with the clown and establishing the fact that they are very important to the day's events.

After meeting all of the youngsters we present a comic clown magic show that features the birthday person as the very special assistant. Classic comedy magic routines with a humorous twist targeted directly to the youngsters are used to assure everyone is entertained. As the program proceeds, the entire audience gets involved and there is lots of participation for everyone.

A magic cup cake appears in the hands of the birthday person, followed the production for some very special gifts (all coordinated with Mom and Dad during the booking).

The grand finale of the magic show is a full audience participation routine called the "Flower Maker". While we sometimes use real flower seeds, we rarely get flowers. But, we do have the opportunity to make sure that everyone present participates and this routine is always great for photos.

At the conclusion of the magic show, which generally goes 30-35 minutes depending on the interaction of the kids with the clown, we go into the next portion of the presentation which is balloon twisting. Special balloons are created that include animals, hats, flowers and jewelry. This process allows the birthday clown to interact with each child individually and to continue the fun and the entertainment. Often times, special bouquets are prepared and presented to the party's hostess.

Once every youngster has a balloon, we will gather with all the children where Mom is serving the birthday cake. We lead all the kids in a boisterous round of Happy Birthday and allow everyone who wants to take photos or video.

As the youngsters are enjoying their goodies, we pack up, say good-bye, wish the birthday person one more Happy Birthday and then we depart.
