Charlie's Photo Gallery 

Here is a picture of Magic Charlie and all the guests at a recent birthday party that took place in Portsmouth, Where he performed his disco, magic and games show. The birthday girl absolutely loves unicorns, so Charlie made her a unicorn that she could actually wear out of balloons.

Although Charlie's show is not a puppet show as such. He uses lots of puppets during his various performances. The children's faces light up when they get to meet either Millie the Mouse, Pongo the Parrot, Nanas the Monkey or Dilbert the Dog. Charlie also has an amazing drawing board where he draws a face and it comes to life as if by magic and starts to cause mayhem to the children's amazement.

This cake was made by a Mum at a Birthday party that I performed at. The whole theme was set around the circus and clowns and the very talented Mum made this beautiful cake from a picture of me that she got from the internet. It was amazing and she told me that she was up until 2am in the morning putting the finishing touches to it. Bless her.

Charlie was booked to perform on board the naval ship HMS Diamond yesterday where he entertained both the children and adults at their families day with close-up magic and balloon twisting. He was also joined by Amy who was face painting. They had a great day and received lots of lovely feedback. They left Portsmouth historic dockyard at 9 AM and sailed around the Solent. It was a fun packed day and they arrived back at 4 PM. Pictured are Charlie along with a balloon octopus he made and Amy the face painter.

Here is a picture of two great kids, Isabella and Charlie who I performed for at their joint 5th Birthday party in Petersfiend in Hampshire recently. They both made brilliant magical helpers and as you can see from the picture, they were dab hands at using magic wands in no time and helped me with lots of various tricks.

In this picture you can see me with UK TV's most famous magician at the moment Dynamo or as I know him Steven Frayne. We were both at the Worlds biggest magic convention which is held in Blackpool every February. It's an amazing event which all magicians look forward to each year with around 3,500 magicians attending . Apart from meeting up with all your friends you get to see the best acts from all over the world and also get to buy all the latest tricks that are available so that your shows are always up to date and fresh for you customers.

As well as performing shows for children, Charlie also performs for grown-ups he is an award-winning close-up magician and a member of the world famous London Magic Circle. He also performs a very popular stand-up comedy act. Charlie has worked with many of the UK's star names worked on many cruise ships worldwide and has even performed in front of the Royal family on several occasions. Here he is pictured just about to board HMS warrior in Portsmouth's historic dockyard where he is the resident close up magician to entertain at a corporate event.

Charlie recently had the privilege of being asked along with his wife and fellow magician Nikki to perform onboard Cunard's Queen Mary 2 the World's only true cruise liner. They both had a fantastic time entertaining the children and their families during the crossings to and from New York. They met some lovely people and made some new amazing memories.

Charlie the magician and his wife Nikki the magic lady will be performing in fareham shopping centre as part of their Easter half term Entertainment and also in May. So if you are looking for something to do with your children, then why not pop down and say hello Charlie will show you some amazing magic, Nikki will make you a fantastic balloon model and you can even have your face painted by their friend Twizzy the face painter and the good news is, everything is absolutely free. Whatever the weather we will be indoors and look forward to seeing you.

Yes, even pirates know how important it is to eat breakfast. Especially just before they set off on a busy day of shows. This picture was caught by Charlie's wife Nikki the magic lady, as Charlie was chowing down on his breakfast cereal before setting off on his pirate themed birthday party shows for the day in and around Hampshire.

Around Halloween time Charlie performs as Charlie the wizard, Who is the ideal character to complement his Halloween themed shows for children. Whether it's a comedy magic show, his music magic and Games show or his full disco magic and games show. You can rest assured that your children will have an amazingly spooktacular time. Charlie shows are totally themed right down to the costumes, scenery, backdrop, side banners props and music.

I was honoured to be awarded the Will Ayling trophy making me the the close up Magician of the year at the Portsmouth and district magic circle. There was some amazing competition on the night, so I felt very privileged that they picked me as the outright winner. Here I am pictured with bob Hayden of the International brotherhood of magicians. It was one of the most proudest nights of my life with my Mum and my wife present watching. As I have been a member of the club for many years since being a young boy.

This is the cover of a thank you card that I received. The picture was taken at a party I did and this shot was of the children in a conga line. I get the kids in this line and say that we are going to make a great big hungry caterpillar that is going to walk around the room looking for the party food. I do this as its a fun way to get the children to the food table in a fun, orderly way.

I was recently booked to perform a circus skills workshop for a summer playscheme at a school in Portchester, near Fareham in Hampshire. The children were aged between six and twelve and we had a really good time. The kids learnt how to juggle with silks and beanbags, how to spin plates, ribbon twirling, the hulahoop, stilt walking, Diablo, and a bit of mime. As they did so well at the end. I also taught them how to make a balloon dog which they took home as a souvenir of their day.

Here is a picture of me onboard the P&O cruise ship MV Ventura pictured somewhere in the Western Mediterranean Sea. I was booked along with my wife Nikki to entertain the children who were travelling onboard. We saw some amazing places during our seventeen days and had some great audiences. We did four separate completely different shows in that time and one magic and one balloon modelling workshop.

Here's a picture of the lovely Dulcie taken at her 5th birthday party in Alverstoke in Gosport. As you can see the theme of her special day was Frozen. Dulcie is in her beautiful Anna dress she is wearing a balloon tiara and is holding an Olaf the snowman and an Anna balloon that I made for her. Her big brother whose party I did last year is holding her birthday cake. Which was very heavy as you can see from the expression on his face. lol

Charlie regularly entertains the poorly youngsters in both Southampton general and Portsmouth's Queen Alexandra hospitals for the children's charity POD. Here he is about to go on to the ocean ward which is cardiac care ward in Southampton and entertain them with magic tricks and balloon twisting.

Here's a picture of me as Charlie the magician with the lovely Birthday girl, Summer at her Frozen themed Birthday party in Selsey, West Sussex. As you can see in the picture I made her an Elsa and Orlaf out of modelling balloons as a surprise and she absolutely loved them. We had a great time and I performed my 2 hour disco, magic and games show which has lots of fun competition and non elimination games, magic, juggling and party dances.

Here's a picture of Albie who I entertainned along with all his friends at his birthday party in Bedhampton near Havant recently. He was a little star and helped me in my comedy magic show. I made him a balloon motorbike that you can see him holding in the picture. We also had lots of fun playing games and competitions, juggling, spinning and there was a visit from my pet parrot Pongo at the end of the party who magically produced goodies for everyone to take home with them.

A birthday party that I was recently booked to perform at in Fareham in Hampshire was featured in the Portsmouth News which is our local newspaper. It was a whole page feature and had lots of great pictures of the birthday boy Declan having lots of fun with myself and all of his friends. He was a brilliant little magical helper and was the star of the show.

Here is a picture taken of me performing my comedy magic show at an infant school in Waterlooville in Hampshire. it was a pirate themed show, to 230 children so there was lots of nautical naughtiness, swashbuckling fun and lots of the children got the chance to come up and help me with the magic. It was a great day and everyone enjoyed themselves.

Magic Charlie was invited along to a 5th birthday party in Chichester in West Sussex at the weekend and was asked to perform his comedy magic show, which involved juggling, plate spinning, balloon modelling, dancing and party dances. The kids had a fantastic time and the birthday boy Michael, said that it was the best party that he'd ever been to. Which makes everything I do worthwhile.

I first became a member of the oldest clown association in the world, Clowns International in 1987 whilst I was working in Butlin's in Bognor Regis running the children's entertainment. And I'm proud to say I'm still a member and in the picture you can see my clowns international egg. Which has my face painted on it and is on display at the clown museum at Wookey Hole in Somerset. Wookey hole resort is owned and run by the great UK circus entrepreneur Gerry Cottle's. It's a great day out for the family and I'd highly recommend a visit.

I entertained Lewis and his friends at his Pirate themed Birthday party recently. Here I am as Charlie the Pirate Holding his cake and I was just about to get everyone to sing Happy Birthday to Lewis when this picture was taken. I performed my Music Magic and Games show for him and all his friends and family and as you can see, he was a real giggler.

Here's a picture of myself and my wife Nikki along with the Lord Mayor of Portsmouth Ken Ellcom and the Lady Mayoress Jo Ellcom. At the opening of a brand new pirate ship structure at an adventure playground in Portsmouth. The whole event was based on pirates, so we performed and dressed likewise. We also performed a pirate themed Magic show, twisted balloons and supplied our disco which included lots of nautical songs.

Here is a picture of me taken with a policeman who I met while I was entertaining the families at a Pre Schools summer fete at Ashurst in the New Forest in Hampshire. I performed my comedy magic shows and did some balloon modelling. it was a glorious day and the weather was really kind to us. The policeman brought his car along and let the children sit inside and set off the sirens and lights. I wish I could have done that when I was a little boy.

Here is the lovely Tallulah, I performed as a clown at her 4th Birthday party and she was dressed as you can see as a Disney Princess. Her amazing Birthday cake was in the shape of a fairy tail castle. I performed my music magic and games show for her and her friends along with party dances, juggling, plate spinning and balloon modelling. All in all we had a great time and it was lovely to see everyone enjoying themselves.

Here is a picture of Charlie's pet parrot Pongo. She is really cheeky sometimes and has the children in hysterics with her antics. The children just love the way she annoys Charlie and causes mayhem while he is trying to be serious during the show. She has become a real hit with Charlie's audiences and is asked for over and over again by parents who are booking Charlie to perform at their little one's birthday parties. So if you are looking for something special for your child's special day, why not invite Charlie and Pongo along to create a fun time. Whether it's for a 45 minute comedy magic show, or the full two hour "Stress free" music magic and games show, you can be sure that Charlie will have the kids in fits of laughter from start to finish.

Here's a picture of Dylan pictured with me at Rogate Village Hall in Hampshire. Where I performed at his 5th birthday party. Dylan had just magically drawn and coloured in the rabbit in the top hat that you can see in the picture, he couldn't decide on a theme for his birthday party so it was a mixture of Superheroes and the Lego movie, As he told me that they were his two favourite things. We played themed games, which included the Lego theme music everything is awesome , I made the birthday boy a two foot batman figure out of modelling balloons and his Mum also made him a great Lego man Birthday cake.

I regularly entertain for both children and adults at many Weddings and Civil Ceremonies with my magic shows, balloon modelling and close up magic across Hampshire, West Sussex and surrounding areas. In this picture you can see a bride and groom that I twisted out of balloons for a couple who were getting married in Portsmouth. Its a lovely feeling being asked along to share in a couples special day and I love the thought that you can help to make some amazing memories for them and their guests. So if you are looking for a children's magician, balloon modeller or close up table magician to perform at your wedding, or civil ceremony please get in touch and I can send you lots more information.
