Wow, Milo, I'm impressed! My routine is simple: a 20-30-min. comedy magic routine (depending on the age of kids and their attention span), followed by balloon hats and animals. For younger kids I have some kind of a kazoo birthday march toward the end of the party. I try to leave a few minutes at the end for pictures.
I have a big case on wheels that holds all my props and also is used for my table. I have a pop-up hamper where I store the items I'm finished with -- just to keep things organized. It takes me less than five minutes to set up and even less time to pack up.
Of course, there are occasions when I won't stick to this format. for instance, I have a party for 8 autistic kids coming up. For that, I'm just bringing tons of ideas and props and will just flit from one activity to another as needed.
