Testimonials
From children's parties and events, the lovely things that parents have said

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for performing at Artie's party. You worked so hard and are worth every penny and more I'd say! From the minute you walked in you were in character and created such a great atmosphere for all the children to walk into. You kept them all engaged for the whole 2 hours and I cannot tell you how many comments we have had from other parents about you, and how "that was the best party ever". We really didn't expect so many parents to stay but I think they too were having such a great time they didn't want to leave!! Very best wishes and thank you once again.  - Louise (Balham)

Dear Andy, I just wanted to write and say a BIG thank you for hosting Oscar's party on Thursday - you were absolutely brilliant!! We've never hired anyone before so was a little apprehensive as to what to expect - but you were great - my children think that you're the best thing in the world and would like you to come live with us!! From beginning to end, you engaged and entertained the kids - so thank you, thank you, thank you!! Please feel free to use this quote on your site or literature and I'm happy to be a ref if you want any prospective clients to speak to someone who has hired you. Thanks again, you really took the headache out of what to do with 18 kids for two hours!! - Rosheen (Beckenham)

Hi Andy, Just to say thank you again! You did such a great job keeping them entertained for so long, they all had a brilliant time! Molly is really shy so seeing her up in front of everyone getting involved was really wonderful, she absolutely loved it and won't stop talking about you! Have a great rest of your weekend and thank you again for making the party so special.  Sarah (Balcombe)

Dear Andy - Many thanks for your excellent performance last night and great skill in handling your magician's trade. Both the adults and the children had great time. Kind regards, Christopher (Lingfield, for a 70th birthday party)

Dear Andy, we thought you did a fantastic job entertaining the children and that you made the day so much fun. We could not have wished for a better day and we thank you very much for bringing that extra something special to the day. Thank you again for your hard work. All the best. - Shauna (Richmond)

Hi Andy, I've been meaning to contact you all week to say THANK YOU again for doing such a great job at Millie's party last Sunday. I realise it was a tough crowd - with lots of kids in a confined space, such a large age range and some of them possibly a bit young to fully engage with an entertainer - but you had them all in thrall. The birthday girl had a blast and several of the parents told us afterwards that you were the best they've seen. I agree! Thanks again. We will certainly be recommending you. - Harriet (Crawley)

Hi Andy, I wanted to thank you very much again for making my daughter's 4th birthday party such a success. One month on, she is still talking about it. I was truly amazed by your ability to capture and hold the attention of 15 children of an age range (mainly 3-4) with a notoriously limited attention span. What was also very impressive was the fact that you managed to put up a show, which engaged everybody, from the youngest child (about 2 1/2 years old) to the oldest (nearly 7). I never thought I could have 15 young children all together in the house and survive, but thanks to you they had a great time, and my house and I were left practically untouched. I would highly recommend you to any parent aiming for an entertaining, and relatively stress free, children's birthday party. Thanks very much, and probably see you again! - Isabella (West Wickham)

Dear Andy, I wanted to drop you a line to say thank you for being so fantastic at Aaron's birthday party on Saturday 16th. We have had glowing reports back from the other parents telling us all their children had thoroughly enjoyed themselves. You were good humoured and handled a very lively bunch of children extremely well! Aaron himself loved every minute and felt very very special. You are obviously very good at your job because you so clearly enjoy entertaining, and have a great personality too. It was a delight to have you in our home entertaining our children. I will gladly recommend you to friends and would like to book you again for other occasions. - Sandra (Orpington)

Hi Andy. A huge thank you for hosting Lily's party so brilliantly on Saturday. The children adored you and the parents had a great time too! In the end it was almost 30 children - I'm in awe of how you managed to keep them engaged and under control, especially given the 'excitability' of a few! It was great to hear them all laughing and shouting out and losing themselves completely, you created such a fun atmosphere. Thank you too for the extra time you gave to make sure they all had a balloon and for really getting the party going from the start. It took all the stress away from me ... Lily had a fabulous time, in fact we're all still taking about it. I'll definitely be passing your details on to parents who have been asking for them. It's possible we'll see you again then! - Marcia (Chelsfield)

Hi Andy, Just a quick message to thank you for entertaining at Luke’s party today even with the snow.We have never hired an entertainer for a children’s party before so we were a little worried about everything going well. We need not have worried you were fantastic! Luke had a fantastic time and has been talking about you non stop until he went to bed ! We have had lots of comments from the parents to say how wonderful you were too. Once again thank you so much for such an enjoyable afternoon and for making Luke’s 5th birthday one to remember. Kind regards, Caroline (Maidstone)

Hi Andy. Just wanted to write and say a huge thank for your great show yesterday. The children absolutely loved you and you did brilliantly keeping them so entertained and enthralled for so long. To quote Joe afterwards 'that was AMAZING!' Many of the mums afterwards said how great you were so I have done a group email today to them all with your website details. Thanks again for such a great show and making Joe's party so special. All the best, Maria (Sidcup)

Hello Andy. I just wanted to say the biggest thank you for your magnificent performance yesterday at Thomas' birthday party - everyone who attended has commented on how fantastic you are. If you ever need a recommendation please do not hesitate to ask. We really appreciated your wonderful attitude throughout and the way you stayed later and provided above and beyond what was required of you, you really are the perfect children’s entertainer and we feel very lucky that we were able to book you. Have a marvellous day and thank you again. Kaye (Chislehurst)

Hi Andy. Just wanted to say how delighted we were with the show on Sat - Joe and his friends could not have had a better time, I really have never seen them all laughing so much, it was lovely to see! And thanks for being generous with your time. Hopefully see you next year ... Cheers, Gráinne (Shepherds Bush)

Hi Andy. I just wanted to say a big thank you from all the team at the Children's Centre. You helped to turn our fun day into an amazing day and for that i am very thankful. Everyone loved you and many stayed most of the day so they could see what you would come up with next. You worked very hard and kept both children and adults (including myself) very entertained. Thank you so much and I look forward to working with you again. - Carly (Woolwich)

Hi Andy. Thanks so very much for entertaining Ruby and her friends last Saturday. We've not had an children's magician before as I had said and Ruby and her friends really enjoyed everything you did. I'll definitely be in contact again next year. - Isla (Eltham)

"Thanks so much for Arabella's entertainment this afternoon. You did it so well - a fantastic success. I'm not sure I have seen kids that age ever so engaged by an entertainer. So thanks again for a marvellous performance! " - Julian (Notting Hill)

"I found it difficult finding a children's party entertainer that does a proper magic show, and yours was brilliant" (Claudia, Hampstead)

"You were super and made all the children laugh again and again. You really made Daniel's day" (Ruth, Bromley)
