I am a professional, magician, puppeteer, ventriloquist, circus performer and balloon modeller.

The stars of my entertainment are the puppets.
Children love these adorable, funny characters. Sid the Kid - always hungry and asking for food.
Billy the Bird - a lovable and naughty bird who loves messing about. Possum - a sleepy fluffy little guy with a talent for voices. My party package is designed to suit a mix of ages - ideal for Birthday Parties Christenings and Weddings.

The entertainment consists of:
Circus Time - the children get the chance to plate spin, Chinese Cloth twirl and juggle silk scarves.
Magic Show - Fun magic and puppets.
For Birthday parties I always make sure the birthday child helps with some of the magic tricks, especially the one at the end which involves cake.
The puppets in the show love talking to the children and have loads of fun.
I am a ventriloquist and the puppets often accuse me of putting words in to their mouths.
I have my own party music but if you require anything specific just bring it along on a memory stick or
SD card and I'll play it on my system.
Balloons
I make animal balloons for all the children.
For the two hour package I play balloon games - Mouse Flying is a great favourite (no mice hurt!)

Booked for a 4 year olds birthday party. The kids all had an amazing time. Marvin was excellent and kept the kids entertained for a full 2 hrs. Well worth every penny.

We booked Marvin for our son’s 5th birthday party and he was a big hit with all of the kids. He was very professional and kept the guests constantly entertained. We would definitely recommend him.

Very pleased with the entertainment, we had a few drop outs and the less children than expected but Marvin still provided great entertainment for the kids and adults. He created a fab atmosphere, very pleased I booked him couldn't recommend him more :)

Book Magic Educational

Book Magic is a one of a kind presentation for pre-school and Key stage one. This dynamic interactive show uses creative storytelling, amazing magic and enchanting puppets to open up the wonderful world of books. The performance uses fun magic routines and puppets to encourage children to visit their local library or book shop. Book Magic is a fun packed performance introducing children to some quite remarkable puppet characters. Sid the Kid is a big part of the show, which isn’t surprising as he loves story books. His favourite is Jack and Jill. He always wants me to read to him, even in the middle of a show! Billy the Bird loves poetry and reads a selection of his favourite poems. An hilarious bird character that always creates an impact, maybe not always in the right way! This popular show really does what it says on the tin and delivers a magical experience surrounded by books.
