How old are the majority of the kids? If Jaden is one of the eldest in the group, he might find the entertainment to be "sucky" but the rest of the kids might love it. I had a magician for Cameron's 10th Birthday, and it was a great success. If the magician is good he should be able to adapt the show if the kids are getting bored or restless. (Although I am not sure how kids who have grown up with Playstations and the internet actually relate to the more traditional forms of kids entertainment???)

I'm not sure re Python Ron - I personally wouldn't have a problem with him entertaining MY kids, but it's not going to be everyones ideal - so the idea of a movie or some alternative is a good one!
