At Le Double Fond in Paris's Marais district, birthday parties for children aged 6–12 revolve around an interactive magic show, with the option of adding a workshop where the children learn a few tricks themselves.
How can you put together a birthday party?
The show costs €14 per person. The optional follow-up magic workshop lasts one hour and also costs €14 per child; equipment is loaned during the session. A kit to take home the props for the trick can be added for €8 per child.
What about the birthday refreshments?
The party refreshments include a birthday cake, sweets and soft drinks in a semi-private area reserved for 45 minutes. This option is listed at €11 per child. Depending on the time slot, it can take place before or after the show and workshop.
Before booking
Le Double Fond recommends this package for children aged 6 to 12. For the refreshment break, the venue requires one supervising adult for every seven children.
The extra touch is the connection between show and workshop: children do not just watch a magician perform, but can then learn some techniques and try to recreate the tricks themselves.
