UK Family Entertainer of the Year 2020

Graeme is also known for his cheeky friend “Derek The Raccoon” who featured in Graemes UK championship-winning act in 2020 and usually makes an appearance and causes mischief.

The show is unlike most other children’s entertainers because he is a Magician, not an amateur that does a few tricks or a kids entertainer that does party games, but a professional Magician for birthday parties, that will leave the kids AND adults amazed and puzzled!

Graeme performs his show at a lot of holiday parks and theatres and it has plenty of audience participation.

Hi Graeme, Just to say thank you for today! Liam loved his party entertainment & the adults enjoyed your show just as much as the children 🙂

And YES he can perform in your house for a Children’s Magic birthday party!

We’ve all seen and probably cringed at the typical children’s  entertainer that are “old hat” (forgive the pun) doing boring stuff that the kids think is……. ok, but the older kids and adults pay no attention to. That’s why Graeme won’t do it like that!

He’ s different because he concentrates on the aspect of spellbinding magic and has structured a show through the years that is simply the best you will find in the Newcastle area and everyone, even adults will want to watch.

Graeme is a magician FIRST. This means that the MAGIC in the show is very strong without having to “fill” time with games and other “fillers” like most children’s entertainers.

There is nothing wrong with games and other activities but then its not a magic show.

Graeme’s philosophy is this will probably be the first time that the children (and even some adults) will have seen a magician before, and doing a really strong magic show will leave strong memories for children.

Graeme says:

” I remember the first time I saw a magician when I was young. It had a HUGE impact on me and I will never forget how amazed I was when he produced coins magically from the air with his bare hands and placed them into a silver bucket. That memory is very strong and reminds me today why I love doing magic for children as its something they will never forget so its important that the first magician they see is good and that’s why I want to be the best I can be”

Tips when booking a Children’s Magician Entertainer

• Firstly think about what type of entertainer you would like. There are many different types. Some offer disco for the full duration of your party, some offer disco, games, balloons, prizes, magic shows, party food or face painting. Ranging from £70 – £250 +
• Some offer everything at a set price. The problem with these is you tend to find that they do everything, but not particularly well! You will find some offer a 2 hr type package as 2 hrs is the general length of a child’s party.
• A 2-hour type package generally includes a disco, games and a short magic show. This is fine but generally expensive and the magic show is not really a magic show and usually not performed by a professional magician.
• Graeme does not offer a “party package” but rather a 45 min – 1 hr magic show. As most party’s run for 2 hours after you have taken into account the magic show (1 hr) and your party food (say 20 mins) you only have 40 mins left to fill anyway! So with your own background music, maybe just a stereo system and your own game or two like pass the parcel, you have it covered. Plus you always find that the kids just want to run around anyway! So why pay someone for 2 hours??

Making Children Smile through Magic

Graeme works once a month at RVI Great North Children’s Hospital for POD Children’s Charity who organize and fund entertainers to go into hospitals up and down the country making children (and adults) smile.
