I'm not going to review all of these cards. Next time, only make or post 10 or less cards if you want anyone to review them because good Decks only really use up to 10 or so cards (though repeated) of a specific archetype, any more is generally overkill. Your archetype also has no particular theme, for example Madolches return themselves to the Deck, Lightsworns mill and etc and a lot of the cards don't really benefit the archetype.

I'm going to point out some of the bigger flaws here:
Performancer Musique
Level 3/Light
Spellcaster/Effect
1400/1100
Once per turn you can increase the level of all Spellcaster type monsters on the field by up to 2. if you use this effect, you cannot xyz summon during your Main phase 1. if this card is sent to the graveyard without being destroyed , you may add it back to your hand.

The underlined part is way OP, you could discard this card for a cost and you would get it back, you could even use Foolish Burial and you would get it into your hand. This thing nullifies any sort of cost whatsoever, it's a million times worse than even Sinister Serpent.

Performancer Clown-a-round
Level 3/Light
Spellcaster/Effect
1500/1000
When your opponent Normal summons or sets a monster, you can special summon this card from your hand. when you do you can Return 1 Face-up card your opponent controls to their hand, your opponent cannot summon or activate a card with the same name as that card until the end phase of this turn. When this Face-Down card is destroyed by battle and sent to the graveyard you can Return 1 “Perfomancer“ monster from your graveyard to your hand except “Performancer Clown-a-round”

That is really overpowered. It's a hand trap that Special Summons itself and bounces one of your opponent's monsters without even targeting and ends up being a +1 effect.

Performancer Kabukithier
Level 3/Light
Spellcaster/Effect
0/0
During your Standby phase if this card is in face up attack position you can special summon any number of “Performancer Kabukithier” from your deck in face up attack position, the battle position of those monsters cannot be changed except by a card effect. if another face up “Performancer Kabukithier” is destroyed, destroy this card. During your opponent’s end phase, you can shuffle this card into your deck face up. if you draw this face up card from your deck, you can special summon it in face-up defense position and draw 2 cards

You realize that Special Summoning 4 monsters from your Deck is extremely OP, right? And you realize your opponent can continuously just shuffle this card to the bottom of your Deck too. At any rate, drawing two cards at a +2 is still a bad idea.

Performancer Kabukithier
Level 3/Light
Spellcaster/Effect
0/0
During your Standby phase if this card is in face up attack position you can special summon any number of “Performancer Kabukithier” from your deck in face up attack position, the battle position of those monsters cannot be changed except by a card effect. if another face up “Performancer Kabukithier” is destroyed, destroy this card. During your opponent’s end phase, you can shuffle this card into your deck face up. if you draw this face up card from your deck, you can special summon it in face-up defense position and draw 2 cards

You realize that Special Summoning 4 monsters from your Deck is extremely OP, right? And you realize your opponent can continuously just shuffle this card to the bottom of your Deck too. At any rate, drawing two cards at a +2 is still a bad idea.

I changed the first one to only increasing by 1 and not being able to xyz summon at all during that turn and only being able to return to the hand if it was on the field when it wasn't destroyed (which is the effect i meant in the first place, just worded it reaaally poorly)

The second one was changed to remove the "not able to summon or activate the same card" 

The third one doesnt summon 4 monsters, it only summons copies of itself, which you may have misinterpreted and now you can only draw 1 card from it only when it's face up in the deck.

 

I so much appreciate your help with this. and I'll try to make my next archetypes more balanced in the future
