🎉✨ What a magical afternoon celebrating Ottilie's 6th birthday at her family's home with a fabulous circus-themed party! 🎪🌞

It was wonderful to visit Ottilie and her family again, especially on such a sunny day, perfect for garden festivities. We kicked off with juggling and fun games, including a circus-themed counter drop game and magical wand adventures, all set in their beautiful garden. 🎩✨

Ottilie truly shone as the star magician, astonishing her friends by making sweets and prizes appear, changing coloured loops of rope, and even rescuing a tiger from the circus! One of the highlights was when she corrected a hilarious mix-up on a special birthday card from "The Greatest Snowman" ☃️ to "The Greatest Showman," 🎪 much to everyone's amusement. 😂🎉

The party was filled with delicious food, lots of bouncing on the castle, and balloon twisting for all the kids. Ottilie received a special show pony balloon, and her younger sister was thrilled with a special Peppa Pig balloon. 🎈🐴🐷

Thank you to Ottilie and her family for having me be part of such a delightful celebration. It was a day filled with laughter, magic, and circus fun! 🍰🎁

Cairo's vibrant energy set the perfect tone for a fun-filled party. He and all his friends had a fantastic time dancing to disco tunes while diving into a series of magical games. 🕺💃 We waved different coloured magic wands, outsmarted a mischievous genie, and enjoyed a colourful lucky dip game to see who could fastest find the hidden fun items. 🎩✨

Cairo was truly a fabulous little magician, creating long rainbow streamers that magically sprang from empty tubes, linking crazy loops into a long chain, discovering magic money behind his ears, and even turning that money into balloons for all his friends. 🪄😁

As a special thank you for their much needed assistance during the show, Cairo and his brother each received a special Spider-Man balloon, making them the superheroes of the day! 🕷️🎈

🎉✨ What a fantastic party at Gillingham Village Hall for Evie & Faye's 7th birthday! 🌟🎈

We kicked off the afternoon with an exciting 2-hour 'Disco Magic Show' that set the stage for all of Evie & Faye's friends. The girls took on a special plate spinning challenge and also tried their luck to find the winning magic wand in the magic wand game, with many of their friends joining in the fun. ✨

We also played the crazy wheel game, reminiscent of a TV game show, which created lots of winners as the children took it in turn to “Spin The Wheel”.

🎉✨ What a delightful morning celebrating Annabelle and Isabelle's 4th birthday at Bracon Village Hall! 🎈🍰

The twin girls were a joy to entertain, and their friends joined in with great enthusiasm. With a little help from their mum, Annabelle and Isabelle impressively balanced 10 spinning plates between them! 🍽️😮 Then, with some assistance from dad (turning it into a true family show!), they dove into the lucky dip game. This game was filled with laughter as the children pulled out all sorts of crazy items from the bags. 😂

The fun continued with the magic wand game, where children chose from a variety of coloured wands, eagerly guessing which colour would win. 🎩✨ Annabelle and Isabelle were nothing short of spectacular during the magic show, skillfully joining coloured loops together and magically blending them into one large loop. 🪄😮 A few cheeky moments with my misbehaving toy rabbit added to the fun, but the girls quickly had him under their magical spell.

After their fantastic performance, the girls were each gifted a special balloon, Queen Elsa for Annabelle and Princess Anna for Isabelle. ❄️☃️ During the food break, we all sang the happy birthday song, and the girls made their wishes as they blew out their candles on a wonderfully themed Frozen cake. 🎂❄️❤️

Then it was disco time, and I kept the magic going with balloon twisting, creating hearts, dogs, rabbits, giraffes, and a few swords that all danced around the room to the music. 🎶🤩

Thank you to everyone who made Annabelle and Isabelle's birthday so memorable. It was a magical day filled with laughter, magic, and family fun! 🌟🎉

It was a wonderful surprise for Isabelle as her mum and dad had kept my appearance a secret.

We kicked off with a fast-paced lucky dip game featuring six colourful bags and six equally vibrant contestants who were all incredibly quick 😮🌈

He can be quite the crazy genie at times! 🧞‍♂️🎨 Isabelle was truly a star during the magic show, dazzling everyone with her magical prowess and skills. I was amazed by her tricks I couldn’t even see how she did them 🪄

After her stellar performance, I awarded Isabelle with a special balloon shaped like Chase from Paw Patrol, which she recognised immediately. 🎈🐾
