Booked for Birthday party

He was brilliant. Had people engaged and left wondering how the .... did he do that. Definitely value for money. I had a 50th party with around 100 guests but he did his best to get around most groups of people and wow them with his magic. Would definitely recommend. Sara

Party Showcase — The Close-Up Magician Who Beat the Summer Heat with Slapstick and Balloon Hats

What we loved about this event

Performing completely in character, this veteran entertainer brings a unique blend of silent comedy and close-up magic to any event. With over 15 years of experience, our supplier effortlessly mixes traditional card tricks with physical feats like plate spinning and juggling. A recent Golden Wedding celebration fell on the hottest day of the year, yet the sweltering temperatures "didn’t faze him a bit." His brilliant makeup caught everyone's eye as the performer mingled naturally with attendees during the afternoon reception. He kept the crowd "enthralled with his slapstick" while expertly twisting balloons into hats for the younger guests. The children absolutely adored him. Everyone in attendance agreed that this highly recommended vendor was a "great addition to the party." True to his versatile reputation, the entertainer delivers bespoke amusement without ever saying a single word.

What client said

“

Loved having a right Charlie at our Golden Wedding celebration on Friday 26th June. It was the hottest day of the year but it didn’t faze him a bit. The makeup was brilliant. He mingled with guests and kept them enthralled with his slapstick & making balloon hats etc. The kids adored him and everyone agreed he was a great addition to the party . Highly recommended . Thank you Charlie
