Frequently Asked Questions
If you have any questions please get in touch, however here are the most common questions
My show is specially designed for primary school children aged 4–11, with the entertainment adapted to suit the age group attending the party. Younger children enjoy colourful interactive fun, while older children get more advanced comedy and magic. I always try and accommodate everyone in the group. My Bronze package is ideal for very small children and smaller groups as it is more inclusive and quieter.
Yes. I regularly perform across Devon, Somerset, Dorset, and surrounding areas. If you’re unsure whether we cover your location, I am based in Exeter, the majority of my shows are within 25 miles. Venues further afield may incur a small travel fee. Availability is limited so just get in touch for availability. Click here for my most popular locations and venues
Very little. Usually just enough space for the children to sit comfortably and access to a power socket if music is included. I bring the magic, balloons, sound equipment, prizes, and lots of party fun. My Gold and Neon packages require a space that can be made dark with blinds and curtains to maximise the effect of the lights. I can advise on the setup of the room when I arrive.
Weekend dates can book up several months in advance, especially during busy Summer and Christmas periods. I recommend booking as early as possible to secure your preferred date and time. It is always best to secure your entertainment before your venue.
I love performing at weddings too! My balloon modelling is ideal for filling in the quieter gaps during a wedding reception. I can keep the children busy during speeches (supervision required) or during the drinks reception.
I also am a wedding Emcee and close up magician. Please visit my close-up magic website www.redsuitmagic.co.uk for more details on my premium wedding packages.
I perform at many outdoor events throughout the summer months. It is the bookers responsibility to ensure an alternative covered performance space in the event of rain or winds. In hot weather I require shade for myself and the children if it hot and sunny. I have a small 3x3m gazebo I can use for an additional fee if shade can’t be provided.
It may be helpful if you have any rugs, straw bales or benches for the children to sit on if the ground damp.
For large events such as fetes and fairs, parking near the performance area is required for loading and unloading of my equipment.
The booking process couldn't be easier.

Yes. As I’m not in a supervisory role, I do not legally require a DBS check. However, for your peace of mind, I get a basic disclosure done every 2 years. If your event requires me to have a more current disclosure done there may be an additional charge. Please note, As I am not responsible for the children, I must have 2 or more adults in the room at all times.
I am fully insured with Public Liability Insurance up to the value of 10m. (You can download this here) This covers me and yourself for any unexpected situations outside negligence. I will not perform in any situation where myself or children are at risk.
I have risk assessments for each activity I carry out. (You can download these here) the safety of the children is of utmost importance to me. If you have any questions regarding DBS, insurance or risk assessment please get in touch.
That’s completely up to you. Many parents stay and enjoy the show, while others use the time to relax and chat. The entertainment is designed to keep the children fully engaged throughout. I try and involve everyone at the party including parents to give the children the best show. If parents could keep noise levels to a minimum during the show, this ensures the children are focused on the entertainment. Why not set up a tea and coffee table so parents can help themselves to refreshments.
I recomend a parent or gaurdian stays for children with additional needs. 2 adults must be in the room at all times.
If parents want to leave their children, make sure they know the pick up time and take a contact unmer in case of emergencies
Yes, I love to make the birthday child’s experience more magical and I always make them the star of the show. I have a number of routines which promote empowerment, photo opportunities and lots of laughs with the birthday child. This is only if they want to. There is never any pressure and they will never be embarrassed in-front of their friends
A non-refundable £50 deposit is required to secure all bookings. In the unlikely event your party needs to be cancelled I always try and reschedule the booking first at no extra charge, subject to availability.
I always factor in cancellation circumstances on an individual booking basis. Notice of cancellation must be sent in writing or email. I am unable to accept cancellations by text message or voice mail.
Parties cancelled with less than 3 weeks’ notice before the event pay 50% cancellation fee. Parties cancelled with 7 days before the booking are liable to pay the full fee.
The fee must be paid by the event unless otherwise agreed
I can cater for some party themes with music and games and balloon modelling. My magic show is designed to engage everyone and is unable to be adapted. You are welcome to decorate your venue with themed items, theme your birthday cake and party bags etc.
How Much are your parties?
Prices do vary due to travel costs and expenses.
As a rough guide, my Bronze package is £185 - £200, and my Neon party is between £300 and £350.
I am priced competively and pride myself on giving first class service before the event as well as the party. I am not the cheapest but with nearly 20 years experience I can certainly give your child the best party ever! Get in touch for a personalised quote.
