The Shadow Ninja slips into the room so quietly that half the kids don't notice him until he's already crouched beside the birthday child. He's spent years training in balance, focus, and the kind of spinning move that looks like it shouldn't be physically possible, and he's still working on staying humble about it. He treats the birthday child like a fellow student on day one of serious training, handing over the first lesson like it matters.
Families all over the South Bay book Shadow Ninja for birthdays, and the performer team based around San Jose keeps the visit local: on time, in costume, ready at the door.
