Magician Maarten Bruins provides professional magic shows for children. The show is suitable for both young and old children and even for adults who are watching.
Maarten is a professional, award-winning children's magician with over 20 years of experience. Every year he performs a large number of shows throughout the Netherlands. What does a show of this magician for children look like?
By default, the magic show itself lasts about an hour. It is an interactive show, where the children do not only have to sit still and a real dove is conjured up, among other things. The show is fun for both young and older children and even any adults watching along.
At the end of the show, Maarten teaches the children a little trick. All children receive this trick to take home. If the children have already seen Maarten once, this may differ.
Of course, in
terms of time, duration and content of the program, anything is possible. Maarten is always present 45-60 minutes in advance to set up and prepare everything. He also has all supplies with him. All he needs is 1 electrical outlet and the audience. Sound, microphone, extension cord (10 meters), table et cetera are provided.
P.S. The price shown is for Amsterdam and surroundings and is indicative. Any parking costs are not included in the price. If you have further interest, please feel free to contact us for options and exact prices.

Maarten gave us a fantastic evening partly because of his performance. Heard a lot of nice comments from colleagues.
, Matthijs
Very nice act. Communication with the artist was also top. Audience had good reactions
, Petra
Disbelief and amazement on the faces of my colleagues. How does he do that!!!? His performance made the bbq with my 18 colleagues at beach pavilion Willy Noord in Katwijk a very successful team outing. We enjoyed his acts. Maarten...thanks again for your presence!

Hallo Maarten….wat hebben wij en onze gasten van jouw fijne aanwezigheid en kundigheid genoten! Van klein tot groot waren ze zeer onder de indruk van jouw goocheltruc’s . ? De truc’s die jij de kids hebt geleerd……werkelijk het een shot in de roos! We krijgen zeker 2 goochelaars in de familie ? Je voelde feilloos de sfeer aan. Dus ….om te starten met de mooie ballon creaties was voor de kids (en ouders) een fijne start. ? Jouw aanwezigheid was een toegevoegde waarde op ons feest! Heel veel dank daarvoor ??

Performed with us last year and he was so into his playing that he forgot the time!!! Was super fun
, Anja
We are very satisfied with Maarten. He surprised us with his acts for young and old. Our grandchildren walked with Maarten from table to table. He took ample time for his performance.

He was right on time and was well engaged with the children. Very independent. He also made nice contact with the adults.
, Kate

Everyone present at the reunion was in awe. He is "handy" fast and very nice to deal with and fantastic with children. They hung on his every word. Especially because he can make very cute balloon animals. Really good value for money and neat and pleasant man! Very satisfied.
, Franca
It was a great act at our 40th wedding anniversary party! Maarten first did a balloon act for our grandson of 4 and then entertained our guests at the tables. Without exception they were very enthusiastic and surprised that they did not see how Maarten did his tricks. A real stunner at our party
, Milana
Maarten is a very nice person and great magician act! Kids and adults enjoyed the fun filled and his great magic acts. It an interactive show that kids continued talking about and recreating the tricks on their own. Warm recommendation
, Joep
Great, fun at every table and very skillfully executed. Attended nicely on time.

Maarten was a great addition to the children's party of our sons who turned 5. Fun, interactive and funny. Especially the pigeon made an impression (via Google)
, Elisabeth
Great show at my 8-year-old daughter's birthday party. Listened and laughed breathlessly for over an hour. Recommended! (via Google)
, Jeroen
I've been allowed to attend twice already. Good magic tricks, lots of humor. Just enthusiastic. Look forward to see the show more often in the future. (via Google)
, Sonja
Maarten did a living room gig yesterday. But with the biggest decor and a super performance. We were literally on top of it but couldn't unmask any tricks. From the first minute children and parents were completely sold. Highly recommended. (via Google)
, Denise
He performed at my daughter's children's party when she turned 9. She and her friends really loved it. Maarten makes a lot of jokes that are well adapted to the age of the children, which made them fascinated non-stop. And also for the parents enough comments to laugh. Really a huge recommendation. When my second daughter is old enough I hope Maarten wants to come again! (via Google)
, Sigrid
Thanks to Maarten's magic show, my five-year-old son's birthday party was really fantastic! It was hilarious, surprising and interactive: the children (also his three-year-old brother) had a lot of fun for 1.5 hours. I would like to wish all parents the radiant faces (and faces of the adult spectators ;) that I saw during his show.
, Marieke
During our summer weeks we asked Maarten for a magic show. The group consisted of 40 children between 4 and 12. This was no problem for Maarten. He adapted effortlessly to the level of the children and it was great fun for all the children (and adults who watched). Maarten paid a lot of attention to the children. We would definitely recommend Maarten to anyone who organizes something for children. (via Google)
, Remi
To see Maarten perform a number of times, highly recommended! (via Google)
, Cherisa
Unfortunately we had to cancel the magic show for the children's party, because in the end not enough children could come. Magician Maarten showed understanding and we could cancel the performance free of charge. (via Google)
, Daan
For our daughter's 6th birthday we hired Maarten. The girls had a lot of fun and were very impressed with all the clever magic tricks...! Definitely a must, besides that the decoration and setup was very professional. (via Google)
, Zevensprong
Last week we enjoyed a super fun magic show with 60 kids! With a nice dynamic with the audience, a lot of interaction with and space for the children. Lots of smiling faces and amazement everywhere. Good on level for the children from 6-8 years. For us now the 2nd show on location and it was just as much fun as last year! Nice that the music was just as loud when cleaning up!
, Marion
We asked for the children's party of our six year old daughter Maarten. He put on a very nice show, everyone was impressed. I can definitely recommend him, guaranteed a fun party! (via Google)
, Inge
Very nice, we've booked Maarten for a children's party. This was a great success; nice show, lots of humor and also music and balloons. Awesome! (via Google)
, Victoria
Large group of 17 children are no problem for him. They laugh, dance and participate with ease. Definitely recommended! (via Google)
, Es
Maarten came to our house for a party with 14 children. The children laughed a lot and afterwards enthusiastically told their parents what they had seen. Maarten is able to respond well to the situation and knows how to keep the children entertained. Recommended! (via Google)
, Paulus
Maarten juggled at my 9-year-old son's birthday party. All children (and us too) enjoyed it. Thanks a lot! (via Google)
, Yvette
Martin is a real magician! We had a lovely carefree children's party for our 2 sons (4 & 8 years). Maarten provides a dynamic interactive show. After the show Maarten put on some music to dance. The kids were totally crazy, but Maarten is the calm himself. Thanks for the nice afternoon! (via Google)
, Angela
We had invited the whole class to the party of 2 year olds. Maarten managed to entertain 35 children between 3 and 8 from start to finish with a dazzling magic show, lots of humor and enthusiasm. The children were actively involved, the birthdaygirls were put in the spotlight and after that everyone got a nice balloon figure and a magic trick to take home with them. It really was a great party thanks to Maarten! Our son thought it was "the most beautiful day of his life" Well then it was a success :) (via Google)
, Springplank
We googled Maarten and booked him for the BSO Christmas activity, just some booking from the internet was a bit tensive, but that turned out to be completely unjustified. The contact with Maarten was very pleasant. He gave a fantastic performance and was able to fascinate the children (age between 4 and 11 years) from start to finish. If we want another magic show at one of the locations of 'De Verbinding', we will definitely book Maarten again! (via Google)
, Bianca
Thanks for the great show you gave at the birthday party of our son (8 years old)! All the children were very enthusiastic and also from their parents I only heard enthusiastic stories back! It is REALLY a great show where all children are involved! Lots of humor for both young and old! We really enjoyed it! Good luck and who knows, see you soon!
, Nienke
Maarten did a show this afternoon on the birthday of my 8 year old son. Ten children enjoyed and laughed enormously. This magician is a real child's friend, joker and adapts the tricks to the age of the children (via Google)
, Fam V/D Merkt
Had our son's birthday and booked Maarten. Really great show highly recommended. Entertainment for young but also for the adults. Good interaction and surprised faces, Maybe until next time
, Kristel
Maarten provided the entertainment for the birthday party of our daughter of 7. Super nice show. The kids enjoyed it immensely! Recommended (via Google)
, Ton
Maarten knows how to hold the children's attention! Also the older children and the elderly!
, Tineke
He has been coming to our camp for years and although the children don't understand Dutch and bad English he gives a splashing show in which the children are totally absorbed. (via Facebook)
, Romee
Maarten Bruins knows how to make every party succeed with his great magic tricks, sparkling personality, and hilarious humour. A party for both children and adults to be present at (via Facebook)
, Remmo
I had lunch with the whole family on my 70th birthday. 29 people of which 14 grandchildren from 0 to 12 years old. For a full hour Maarten Bruins amused the children with a fantastic show. Not only the children but also the parents and grandparents were regularly included in the show. Excellent, friendly and witty magic show. Highly recommended if you want to be sure of quality. Thanks Maarten for this contribution! (via Google)
, Esther
Maarten has a super fun show for all ages. He is very relaxed and very patient with the children. What a great party it was. Really recommendable (via Google)
, Simone
Maarten has given our 6 year old son a fantastic party. He was sweet and committed to all the kids; a real child's friend. A nice show in which the children were actively involved
, Marloes
Thanks again for taking care of your performance at Jesse's children's party which turned 7. All the children were still enthusiastic for a long time afterwards I heard from all the parents! And the 'trick' with the duck and the rabbit I often have to do here in the house :-)
, ?
Thanks also for the hospitality and help. Maybe until next time then.
, Vonk
Last Saturday we had a very good show of Maarten as a pre-show at our Sinterklaas party. 45 children with parents were fascinated for an hour while waiting on the Sinterkaas. Very nice interactions with the children and parents so we will definitely book Maarten again in the future. Highly recommended.
, Roos
Hello Maarten, a week ago you put on a great show for no less than 25 children in group 3 and 4! Well done, well adapted to the kids, but also the adults enjoyed it! What a humor you have! The act with the pigeons is still under discussion! Thanks again and see you soon! Greetings Rose
, Annie
Through this way I would like to thank and congratulate you for all your skills you showed on the wedding day of my son Karel and Tine. It was just great with everything you did. I stand in great admiration. All the children, but certainly all the adults enjoyed everything you did. FANTASTIC As they say here in Belgium, you're ne krak! Always welcome in Halle.
, Eva
The kids loved it and laughed a lot. There will be competition in a couple of years, because there are already two who want to become magicians when they grow up.
, Abhishek
We are a group of Indian expats staying in Amstelveen. We organized a social gathering for our friends to celebrate our calendar New Year and invited Maarten to perform in our event. He is an absolute professional and an expert magician. He presented us with an awesome show and entertained everyone present in the event (around 150 adults and 30+ kids). The kids enjoyed like anything and they were sad later when the magic show was over. We'll surely like to have him back in our future events. Thanks Maarten.
, Iris
Kudos Maarten! Was a successful party for our daughter (9). They really had fun.
, Suus
On 20 January 2016 Maarten performed at the birthday party of Carmen and Suus. The group was 24 children in total. It was a great success. What a party, with music (before and after the show) and super fun and humorous acts. With the pigeon as the highlight! Also the moms laughed a lot. Maarten you are a topper! Thank you for this afternoon and for coming all the way from Utrecht to The Hague
, Roeland
Top show Maarten,
, Joris
The next day when we asked our kids what they liked most, they unanimously agreed; it was the magician! Nice to see that the show captivated the kids and that there were also jokes for adults among them.
, Simone
The children (and also the grown ups) enjoyed themselves. It also made my husband's 65th birthday a celebration.
, Anneke
We want to thank you for your fun magic show at our wedding last June. The kids enjoyed it! It was a small group, but that made it extra nice that they could all assist you once
, Ron
A very nice afternoon and above all a successful 5th birthday. Very special how you managed to hold the attention of 10 toddlers. Jokes and antics with an enchanting sauce on top
, Simone
wow, you can put a coin over all your fingers really quick
, Henriette
Thank you again for your fantastic performance on our daughter's 5th birthday. The 10 children mainly talked about the pigeon and the balloons they played with for a long time. The parents' favorite trick was to keep the 10 children in control for an hour and a half! Magicians never reveal their tricks but maybe you can teach them to us
, Henk
I wanted to tell you that we all enjoyed your performances for the lower and upper part of our school on Wednesday September 5th: 'De Dorpsschool' in Bathmen. About 270 students had a great time with your 'arts'. Magic tricks, word jokes, balloon figures and so on! I didn't know you had 'family ties' with Mister Bean?! Also one of my favorites...!
, Eline
Fien tells anyone who wants to hear that she 'has conjured up a pigeon herself. And the other kids were also very impressed by the magic tricks: especially the trick with the candies was discussed at length. Faas now also wants a magician with his 5th birthday so by that time (he still has to become 3) you will hear from us again
, Tineke
I keep forgetting how much fun your magic show was at camp with us. We also put the kids and Ton back to magic.
, Joke
What a great show we enjoyed yesterday during our annual family day! The children were all very enthusiastic, but also the older family members thought it was a super show. Everyone kept saying how fantastic they thought it was. The appointments beforehand via e-mail went very smoothly, as well as taking a break during the show. You are flexible! And the talking to each other and the jokes with the children were very successful. A day not to be easily forgotten. Thanks a lot on behalf of the whole family!
, Familie Somer
Last Saturday we celebrated the 10th birthday of our daughter Victorine with a bbq in a fairy-tale atmosphere. As a surprise we had the magic show for our 40 guests, including 15 children. The bbq literally fell into the water because of the very bad weather. Luckily the big partytent offered a solution, so we could enjoy the great show dry! We think it's a fairy-tale performance that you were able to captivate from start to finish, young and old! Most of the children were around 10 years old and they too sat on the edge of their seats in amazement! To all the people who are considering having a magician perform at their party, we advise: stop searching because you found the cutest, nicest and best of its kind here!
, Marjolein
Thanks for your performance on Lynn's 6th birthday yesterday! We are still reminiscing and the pigeon was the talk of the day in class this morning. For other parents: hiring Maarten is really recommended. This was the most relaxed children's birthday I've experienced: no scavenger hunts that have already been wiped out, no children dropping out at the third game. And all very happy faces! The eldest daughter of 8 was also very enthusiastic.
, Samira
I would like to thank you for your super performance, last Friday at my son ADAM's birthday party, The kids and the parents had a great time and really enjoyed it. ADAM and his friends still talk about it almost every day at school.
, Annemarieke
We really enjoyed your performance at our son Ryan's maternity party last week. Our eldest son Mylo still talks about it almost every day.
, Femke
You were at our 12.5 year wedding yesterday to do the magic for the kids. How much they enjoyed it and so did we! It was wonderful to see how everyone, big and small, was impressed by your performance
, Hilde
I see you've had a website for years. Well, then I feel compelled to leave something here. We've enjoyed the versatility of you in both business and private. Always a lot of fun, with the kids and the older youth, scouting and daughter Kim not to mention. We want to have another party at our marina and we just need you there. kim has your number and we will contact you soon. Hope to see and hear from you soon. Who's reading this and still hesitating?????? don't do it,Maarten a real party to have.
, José
Dear Maarten, yesterday you gave a magic performance at our magic show for Bien's birthday! Everybody enjoyed it and it was really great, thanks for that and good luck with all the next gigs, we will remember and recommend you. Best regards, jose
, Saskia
Dear Maarten, thank you very much for your performance last Saturday. The children and even the adults enjoyed your magic very much. Definitely worth repeating, so who knows till next time. Mvg, Sakia
, Oranje
It was again a wonderful performance on June 14 in Zoetermeer. Everybody, big and small enjoyed your magic acts again! Like I said before, we have baptized you our house magician! Until the next time that will surely come!
, Jeroen
Compliments for the nice performance at Nick's communion. We as guests at the party were very impressed. All children loved it and also the adults were very enthusiastic about it. Peter is still thinking how it all can be.hahaha The polonaise after chatting was also very successful. And the song of the houseboat you know now I think. In any case, good luck with your company and if there are people who are looking for a magician, we certainly recommend you.
, Jolanda
one more message from us better late than never. on november 22nd you came to the vtv.in veenendaal to give your show. i personally have not seen much of it. but the reaction of the children and the others were great it was great your performance, so thank you.
, Familie Jonkman
Dear Maarten, Thank you again for your fantastic show at Jeffrey's children's party. It was the best children's party for Jeffrey. After 2 days he still can't stop talking. He still doesn't understand how he conjured up the apple!
, Joost
Dear Maarten, many thanks for your very nice show on May 1st at our son's communion party. Young and old enjoyed the humor, the incomprehensible tricks and the fun and enthusiastic way you handled the children. It was nice to notice that the children did not talk about the magician afterwards but about the wizard... You made a very good impression, there was even a question in the adult audience if you already conjured a girlfriend at your side .... Good luck with the further development of your company and thank you again for making it such a party, greetings, Joost
, Brenda
Thank you so much for your performance at our baby shower last Sunday. The kids were full of it and the parents loved it too. You did a great job! I heard afterwards that nobody offered you a drink; I apologize for that! Greetings Brenda
, Maaike
We at Contakt would like to thank you for your super performance!
, Claudia
i just want to say that in October, you gave a great presentation at our house
, Achthoek
Maarten's performance on Thursday, October 18 in the Dorpshuis in Den Hout was great. Maarten gave two performances (for the youngest and the older students). He adapted perfectly to the age group (and the subject of the children's book week). He involves the children in the performance in a fun way
