Many parents search for unique birthday party ideas for their child’s birthday.  One of the most unique birthday party ideas is to hire a magician for children.  Todd McKinney is one of the top magicians in Texas. 

As a professional entertainer, Todd McKinney as “Magic Man” often finds that so many parents when planning a birthday party for their child are looking for something different. 

Todd and his family live in Waco, TX but he is one of the top magician Dallas magicians in Texas.  

Todd does travel to Austin and other areas to do shows as well. 

The “Happy Birthday Magic Show” will make your child wish that everyday was their birthday, really. 

The entire birthday magic show is filled with lots of audience participation and a guaranteed good time for your child and all of their guests.

The show is centered around your child and they are made to be the star of the show (which means they get all of the attention).

The magic word for the party will be their own name and every time their name is mentioned, something “magical” will happen. 

They are also given a chance to perform a magic trick in the show (if they want).

This is something they learn before the show even starts and they won’t even know how they did it.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The parents of Britney Spears on Wednesday accused popular television therapist Dr. Phil McGraw of betraying their trust by publicizing his visit to the troubled pop star while she was hospitalized last week.

As her parents spoke out, reports swirled that Spear’s latest boyfriend — a paparazzi — was trying to sell semi-nude pictures of the singer.

A spokeswoman for the Spears family told NBC’s “Today” show the star’s parents had asked McGraw to visit her in a hospital last week as a private favor when she was admitted after refusing, in a fit of hysterics, to hand back her two children to ex-husband Kevin Federline.

“The family basically extended an invitation of trust as a resource to support them, not to make a public statement,” Lou Taylor, the business manager for Lynne and Jamie Spears, told “Today” in an interview.

McGraw issued a statement Saturday saying Spears, 26, was “in dire need of medical and psychological intervention.” He later scrapped plans for a special on “The Dr. Phil Show” about Spears and her problems after criticism from other counselors.

Spears spent almost two days in a Los Angeles hospital after being taken from her home on a stretcher after a standoff with police. News reports said she locked herself in a bathroom and became hysterical when Federline’s representatives came to pick up their two young sons after a visit.

Spears’ life has careened out of control since she divorced Federline in 2006. She lost custody of the boys last year.

McGraw has remained defiant. “Somebody needs to step up and provide a vector to get this young woman into some quality care,” he told celebrity TV show Entertainment Tonight.

It is not known what treatment Spears received while in the hospital but her aunt, Chanda McGovern, told Us Weekly this week: “She needs to be on suicide watch.”

Us Weekly and other celebrity Web sites say Spears has been spending time the last two weeks with photographer Adnan Ghalib — one of many paparazzi who trail her night and day.

Various news reports say Ghalib is trying to shop photos of a partially nude Spears to the tabloid media.

Buying lingerie for their girlfriend or wife is one of the things men enjoy most. For some of them, however, going into a lingerie store is embarrassing. Alot of men don’t know what to buy, and wandering aimlessly around a store full of women’s underwear makes them feel simultaneously embarrassed and awkward. Fortunately, lingerie can be easily bought online from highly reputable companies now. Not only can you buy from the typical sexy lingerie chains you might find in a mall, but there are also high quality lingerie stores that are only available online.Some online stores specialize in certain types of lingerie, but a good many of them carry all of the styles a woman loves: bustiers, corsets, g-strings, thongs, baby dolls, stockings, crotchless panties and more. Fun lingerie accessories like wigs, gloves, and shoes can really spice up an outfit also… and those are usually easier to find online than in a retail store. All of this is good news for men who are looking to buy lingerie for the special woman in their life! Buying online allows men the comfort of shopping from their home and the ability to browse through a selection for as long as they need to without feeling conspicuous (as they look at the same bustier they have already looked at three times before).

Dr. Phil’s planned sitdown Monday with Britney Spears’ parents dissolved into accusations he was exploiting the troubled singer’s emotional crackup.

The TV shrink insisted he canceled the taping with Jamie and Lynne Spears “because the Spears situation is too intense at this time, and out of consideration to the family.”

A source close to Dr. Phil McGraw said it was Britney’s parents who cut him off, furious he blabbed about her mental state after visiting her in the psych ward at Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

“As soon as Jamie realized Dr.Phil was making public statements about Britney, including assessments of her condition, he got angry,” the source told Life & Style magazine. “He started making phone calls to everybody in the family, telling them not to cooperate.”

The show was to air Tuesday.

Britney Spears was held in the hospital overnight after going berserk when ex-hubby Kevin Federline’s bodyguards came to pick up her two baby boys. She was said to be stunned by Dr. Phil’s visit and many of McGraw’s psychiatric colleagues blasted him.

McGraw - now called Dr. Shill by some critics - went on CBS’ sister show “Entertainment Tonight” to defend himself.

“I’ve been working with this family behind the scenes for a long time, longer than you can imagine,” he said, refusing to apologize for trying to help.

“Somebody needs to step up and get this young woman into some quality care,” he said.

Spears doesn’t seem to be in a rush to get help: After checking out of the hospital Saturday, she was in Palm Desert, Calif., with Adnan Ghalib, a 35-year-old paparazzo whose friends and colleagues say may sell Spears out.
