About Kari's Magic Parties

When she was just 8 years old, Kari donned a clown suit and drew laughs from the guests at her sister's birthday party—she knew then that she'd found her calling. A childhood of putting on magic shows turned into a career playing cartoon characters on a Disney cruise ship.

Today, she oversees Kari's Magic Parties, where she and her staff take on the roles of more than 60 different characters from familiar fairy tales, adventures, and science textbooks. As the party's honored guests, they paint bright colors on faces, lead sing-alongs, and play party games. Kari can also arrange for a bounce house for added fun or a photographer to document the celebration.
