Does Abby still do small at-home birthday parties? Yes.
Does Abby perform at first birthday parties? Yes. The birthday baby's cousins aged 3 and up have a blast. One- and two-year olds don't get much out of live entertainment, but they cuten up a party.
Are there live animals in the show? Abby's animals can interact more (and more safely) with the children than live animals can, because Abby's animals are puppets. Their antics get the kids belly-laughing, shouting and squealing. In the animal show, there are 5 comical animals. In the princess show, a frog and dragon are guest stars. In the comedy magic show you are welcome to choose one or two puppets to appear as guest stars.
Does Abby have employees or other performers who she sends in her place? No. If you book Abby, you get Abby. If Abby refers you to another magician, it would be up to you to communicate with, negotiate and pay any other magician.
Does Abby work outdoors? She only performs in buildings which have walls all around and a ceiling and a floor. Use your house or a facility like Henning's Market party room, a community center, a banquet room or a fire hall.
Does Abby perform outside Pennsylvania (for example in New Jersey or Delaware)? No.
Will Abby perform in clown makeup? No. If you need someone in clown makeup, she'd be happy to refer you to a professional clown.
