Merlins animal magic show

Brilliant magic show and party entertainment. James was there well before the time and was all ready before kids started coming for my son’s 5th birthday party. All the parents were really pleased. His rabbit and tortoise were a great surprise for the kids. He kept the party rocking until the end. Definitely recommend him.

Merlin's magic was such a hit in my kids birthday party. He engaged the kids so well and he was so energetic throughout the performance. He didn't even said he is tired even though many kids were asking him to do the balloon modelling multiple times(adults had to rescue him from the little monsters 😁) l would highly recommend Merlin if anyone would like their kids birthday party to be memorable and enjoyable.

I had the pleasure of hiring the amazing magician for my child's party, and I cannot express enough how fantastic the experience was! He was an absolute gem, radiating warmth and positivity throughout the event.

From the moment he stepped in, it was evident that he possessed a rare talent for captivating young minds. His ability to remember every child's name and actively involve them in his magical acts was truly astounding. He didn't just perform tricks; he created an enchanting atmosphere where every child felt like a part of the magic.

The children were utterly mesmerized from start to finish, giggling with delight as he wove his spells and illusions. His energy was infectious, keeping even the most restless youngsters spellbound with his charm and charisma.

I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking to add a touch of magic to their event. His professionalism, warmth, and genuine love for entertaining shine through in every trick he performs. Without a doubt, I would not hesitate to book him again in the future. Thank you for making my child's party an unforgettable experience!

"Dear Merlins Magic or Clown Show,
What a success! The National Association of Nigerian Communities UK members have now enjoyed their first Annual International Women’s Day Conference. The event is getting rave reviews and the children are included.

On behalf of the NANC-UK and the IWD Team, I want to extend a heart-felt thank you for your commitment to making this event so successful. It was the vision of NANC and the IWD planning committee to inform, entertain, and provide a networking forum for members of the community and to celebrate their achievements in a pleasant, comfortable environment. As well as provide a space where children will have fun and socialise. Your Live show and skills workshop with the children helped make our vision a reality. What I really appreciated during the day was your impecabole time keeping, your flexability and adapatability, You remembering the children's names. Some of the highlights as said by the children in the community who attended was when the rabbit appeared from nowhere and them being able to stroke, the music was to their taste. One of the children stated that this was the best day of their life and this is all thanks to you and your team.

As we continue to grow as a welfare community organisation, please know that partnerships with our vendures is vital to the success of this and bringing children and families together. You are truly appreciated. Thanks once again.

PS: If there was a 10 star rating I would give it

Sincerely,

Lilian Martins, Women Development Officer NANC"

We would like to say thank you. It was great party, children was very happy and ask Mr Clown to come back next year. Balloon twisting was amazing, children disco made a lot of laugh and magic rabbit surprised everyone.

My daughter had a 5th birthday party. Kids had a fantastic time and balloons modelling was great too. Magic show was great even all the mums enjoyed the show. We really loved it and will have a magic show again for my son.

Absolutely delighted with Merlin's magic show!!! He entertained the children at the party held in a hotel bar after our Naming Ceremony and had them all screaming and laughing in no time. It really made such a fantastic atmosphere and was the highlight of the children's day. He mingled with all the children there - even the ones who were a bit shy and made them all feel included. Greatly recommended *****

"Thank you! So much for the entertainment. Kids really loved your funny jokes. Adults found you very good, many asked for your details as you done a great job. 100% recommend. Love the tricks and the beautiful rabbit. Thank you for making our event extra special.

Very satisfied good entertainment throughout

Excellent! Our Rainbows, Brownies and Guides loved the event and Merlin's entertainment was funny, engaging and relevant holding the attention of girls aged 5 - 14 and their adult leaders too. Dealing with a packed room, Merlin was able to meet the wide needs and interests - there truly was something for everyone and I would highly recommend. In addition to the performance itself, the organisation and confirmation pre-event was very good and clear.

Very pleased with the performance would recommend to anyone celebrating with children.

Brilliant ! Thank you for sorting the event show, went down a dream. Everyone was thrilled with it ! Would definitely book again.

We booked Merlin for our daughters 3rd birthday party, and couldn't have been more pleased with the service James offered, he was absolutely brilliant! Very easy going yet led the party. We had magic show, balloon modelling, mini disco and a clown show. Younger kids and teenagers all actively took part- 18 year old nephew had fun having his head chopped off!! Bouncy castle was perfect for our party/garden too. I had fantastic feedback from all parents that attended. Would highly highly recommend. Thank you so much.

"Brilliant entertainer, turned up well before booked timeslot. Kept a large group of mainly under 4’s engaged and laughing throughout the show (& their parents!) children loved their balloon models and a lovely surprise at the end of two real rabbits to pet. Great feedback from parents attending and the birthday girl said your show was very funny!
Thank you!"

Merlin came and performed at my 3 year old birthday party he kept everyone involved and the magic was spectacular would fully recommend for childrens parties.

Merlin came and performed at my 3 year old birthday party he kept everyone involved and the magic was spectacular would fully recommend for childrens parties.

Couldn’t have asked for a better performance. The kids loved him! A great balance of humour, magic, games and encouraged parental interaction which we thought was brilliant. Very good value for money! Catered for all ages from 2 right through to 8 and even the adults loved it! Made our daughters 5th birthday party absolutely perfect!!! Will use again and would definately recommend! Thankyou

Merlin the Magician was fantastic, he kept everyone's attention from start until finish. He performed at our social event for approx 65 adults with learning disabilities. Every single one enjoyed the show. There was lots of audience participation, and everyone loved the rabbit! Thank you Merlin for making our afternoon very special. We would highly recommend him.

Just like to say big thank you again.my daughter had a great day on her party.

We were delighted with our daughters birthday party! Merlin the magician was very entertaining and amused the audience completely and amazed us all with the magic tricks! The real live rabbit was a real hit with the children and the party games and disco were enjoyed by all. Even the adults joined in! It goes without saying that i wouldn't hesitate in recommending him!

What a brilliant hour! All the children (aged 5-6) were totally loving the interaction and magic tricks, the show was pitched spot on. They all received a balloon model of their choice at the end which went down a storm! Definitely recommend - my 8 yr old loved it too!

"Merlin performed at my children's birthday party today and he was totally amazing. The party was for about 40 children aged 1 to 7 and every single one of them were engaged and engrossed in showndoe the whole hour. I would highly recommend him to anyone. Very friendly and professional.
To top it off it was my brothers 35th birthday so Merlin included my brother in a trick which the children loved.
I will definitely be booking Merlin again.
Thank you so much Merlin."

Everyone really enjoyed the magic show and had lots of laughs from the children and parents.

Great show, Very pleased with Merlin, kids loved him.

This was for my daughter’s 5th birthday party. The kids loved him and there were a selection of different magic tricks. They particularly loved the rabbits!

Great magician! Even us grown ups were blown away! The kids loved his tricks and he was incredibly entertaining. I would definitely book him for the next party. Also, he is a very honest lad as we were about to pay him 'too much' for the performance. Great guy

Music was fine, nothing played that I didn't want. Did not appreciate DJ walking up to me at my reception to ask about his money. My mother was dealing with that and had only stepped out for a moment.

Show was really good. Kids enjoyed a lot specially the games and magic.

"The kids absolutely loved Merlin the clown and the balloon sculptures were great!
The bouncy castle with the slide was an instant hit and they were bouncing away all afternoon"

Overall good, entertained 20+ 4 year olds for almost an hour. A couple points which didn’t ruin the party but we’re commented on by numerous parents, didn’t look at all pleased to be there either during, prior or after the show, sat stone faced for 25mins as the kids arrived. Would have been better if he’d left the room. The PA system failed despite setting up for an hour prior to the ever. Finally the outfit was filthy & obviously hadn’t been washed for a very long time, this was commented a lot, easily rectified & hopefully done swiftly. However my son thoroughly enjoyed it & he did hold the attention for the majority of the time

The clown did a good job in entertaining people at the fundraiser and many people were impressed with what his performance and stopped to watch. An issue that we had was the fact that it was a fundraising event and therefore the main aim was to raise as much money as possible. i felt like he wasnt helpful in this respect.

Feel he could have been a lot more interactive with the kids didn’t seem to smile at once and a lot of the parents weren’t happy with how he come across quite miserable for a kids party, I would have also expected better. In terms of the balloon modelling that was fab but what happened to a service with a smile!
