Wow, this event deserved its own post! Cafe de Paris is a beautiful venue near Leicester Square in London, we had the pleasure of performing there at a private event for a stunning and unusual wedding reception. The groom had a super clear vision, he wanted circus performers to walk into the wedding pretending to be lost- looking for the wedding party... when we found them we announced we were heading to Cafe de Paris for the reception and we walked the wedding guests across

We were asked to supply a full event package with an Alice in Wonderland theme for a corporate event in Devon this month. The client was very specific in their image and some of their requests and I jumped at the challenge to further develop our package in this theme. I made a full set of new costumes, props and set dressings and we had a great time creating the event they dreamed of. We even took the opportunity to make a new Alice in Wonderland showreel and had some great p

Happy Easter Everyone! This easter has been lovely and I’ve had some really nice gigs.

Plus our awesome walkabout team providing ground entertainment amongst the guests including close up magic, unicycle juggling and acrobats. I then popped over to Leeds to assi

“How do you say it?” ... “Yggdrasil” The most commonly asked phrase of the weekend. We performed at the ICE casino convention for Yggdrasil- a gaming company with a circus themed game platform.

Of course our aim was to attract people to the stand and to encourage them to play the game, we were on site all day, providing snake charming, bounce stilts

There are several resources av

So January is usually a quiet time featuring the tax return and some well needed rest time. It seems 2019 had other ideas! We kicked off the new year with an awesome full circus show at the stunning Wycombe Abbey. We performed an hour long show twice to the girls at school, firstly to the juniors, then the seniors. It was a really fun show and seeing the girls experience the circus was great. Our Team included an awesome juggler, amazing across duo, illusionist with me assist

Well March came and went in the blink of an eye! We had a ton of snow... and I mean a ton! In fact it was so bad that I couldn't get Johnny to the airport for his gig in Germany- all the flights were cancelled! Luckily he got roped in to perform at Manchester Tattoo Tea Party with me for the Sideshow Illusions team. Tattoo Tea party is a convention held at Event City in Manchester. we did several shows each day and the convention was a great success, super busy and a pleasure

This weekend was the annual Showzam! event in Blackpool! The 4 day entertainment festival runs during February in the Winter gardens in Blackpool. This year I was lucky enough to work as part of the Sideshow Illusions Team with Jon Marshall! Showzam central filled the beautiful ballroom in the winter gardens and provided something for everyone! The traditional 1940s sideshow illusions "The Girl in the Goldfish Bowl" and the 'Headless Lady' were both there in their original gl
