I am a children's entertainer based in Hampshire, on the border of Surrey. I first worked with children when I escaped a dull job to work for a major children's adventure holiday company. To my surprise, I found I really liked the challenge of working with children.

Later I managed a holiday play scheme for the local council...

I decided to combine my interest in magic with my experience of working with children to become

Alexkazam the magic man!

I perform a variety of shows tailored to your needs and to the age group of the children. My shows can be for children from four years old up to seven years old.
( Older children may be interested in a new show I am developing where I teach magic.)


Shows can consist of:

Magic with story-telling
Balloon modeling
Games

Everyone is entertained by the laughter and magical story telling
as well as making the birthday child a star in the show!

Younger audiences need quite a bit of variety and my show reflects this.

I include lots of audience participation and use volunteers to add fun

and interest to the magic and story telling to get maximum entertainment value.

The birthday child helps me with the magic in my big finish and
I give him/her a special balloon model.

At the end of the show all the children get a magic fun pack
which has colouring in, puzzles and some magic tricks to try.

My magic show can be performed in a room in your house, a village hall
or an assembly hall. I have a microphone and small amplifier/speaker which ensures

I can be heard comfortably without shouting!

I arrive with all I require to perform my show, I will need an ordinary
power socket for my amplification and two responsible adults present.

My Introduction:

At the very start I introduce myself and get the children (and adults) involved- this breaks the ice and gets the
children used to listening carefully.

First Part:

If it's a longer show I would go into my games section which involves a mixture of noisy and quiet games and lots of fun. In a shorter show I would go into my story-telling with magic. Sometimes the magic happens to me when I'm not looking and the children shout like crazy to let me know!

The Middle Bit:

In the middle of the magic I make some balloon animals asking the children to guess what I'm making before I finish them, I give some terrible puns as clues!

I then go into more magic, involving volunteers from the audience to act as characters in my mini drama, all with a magical finish! All volunteers get a special
magician's assistant certificate for helping me with my magic!

The Big Finish

At the end of my show I involve the whole audience and can lead the happy birthday song for the birthday child.
