It all began with a girl…
Emily Sullivan was a young girl with a big imagination. She would spend hours upon hours in her bedroom creating new stories every day. Her biggest obsession, however, was the world of entertainment. More specifically, Character Performing. She loved the art and jumped at the opportunity of meeting anyone who was in a costume. She also loved the sense of magic that these moments brought and how when she was with these lovable friends she felt that she was the happiest person alive.
As Emily got older, she wanted to find ways to share her happiness and love for this passion with other people. She first started by becoming a volunteer character performer at the age of just eight years old, performing for school functions and other events. Her big break, however, came at age 16 when she was given the role of Chuck E Cheese one of their local restaurants. Eight months into the position, she was awarded as the best performer on the east coast and has since then won four more awards and has performed in over 15 separate locations across six states in the Eastern and Southwestern parts of the country.
In the winter of 2023, Emily was given another short opportunity to join another famous street when she was given the opportunity to join the team of Sesame Street at Sea World in Orlando, Florida. During this short stint she was given the opportunity to perform alongside characters such as Cookie Monster and Snuffy and assist some of the most iconic monsters to ever brace the tv waves.
In 2014 while Emily was working for CEC, she bought an Ice Princess costume as a part of their Halloween Celebration. While in this costume, Emily stayed in character for the duration of her shifts and started to attract the attention of the guests in the restaurant who asked her if she did birthday parties as the characters. That is when she realized that this was the road she was destined to take, and Making Magic was born!
Now ten years and over twenty costumes later, the magic is stronger than ever. With our company serving Eastern MA and Southern NH and RI we are able to create more magical memories than ever. And Emily’s dream…has never been more of a reality.
