Learn How To Become A Children's Entertainer in the UK

The Beginners Guide To Becoming a Children's Entertainer...

As featured in The Sunday Times

 Completely revised, updated and re-filmed for 2011
and now ultra-affordable

Introducing the new 3-DVD "Become A Children's Entertainer" Set

The brand new 'Become A Children's Entertainer' Set was filmed in May 2011, and is ideal for people interested in becoming a children's entertainer in the UK.

It is particularly aimed at people looking to learn a solid, reliable, audience-tested magic show that is both easy to do and HUGELY entertaining for children.

The 3-DVD set costs £50 and includes:

DVD 1 - The 45-minute Magic FUN Show - LIVE!

This DVD shows you a live performance of my best-selling show, under "test conditions" (i.e. in a real life party environment) in front of an audience of 40 children ranging in ages from 2 to 11 years old.

The show you'll see on this DVD is ideal for entertaining children aged 4-7 years old ( the majority of the shows I currently perform are for this age group.)

This is the exact same show I have been performing at birthday parties, Christening parties, Family Fun Days and end of term school parties for the last 4 years. 

It is a show that gets me booked and re-booked week after week. It is a show that people say this about:

None of the effects in the show involve any difficult sleight of hand or super-tricky moves  to learn.

All the tricks are easy to learn, which means that you can spend time focusing on actually entertaining the kids (what a concept!) and making sure that they are having a GREAT time.

Watching this DVD will show you what my "standard" 45-minute show looks like.

Of course, there are a lot of other great children's entertainers out there with fantastic shows very different to mine, but my 45-minute Magic FUN Show is an ideal one to learn if you're just starting out in the industry. It's a great one to begin with and to build upon.

As you gain experience and confidence entertaining children, you can (and should) create and develop your own routines, your own character and your own show or shows. But at the very beginning, it is nice to have somebody show you a "tried and tested" show, one that gets a great reaction and that you can be confident will actually entertain kids.

2 - DVD 2 & 3 - The Magic FUN Show...explained!

DVD 2 and DVD 3 contain a full explanation of the 45-minute Magic FUN Show.

  • Each trick is explained in detail, along with crystal-clear explanations of why I do certain things in my show.
  • I'll cover audience management, "crowd control", how to choose volunteers, how to treat your helpers and so much more.

DVD 1 enables you to watch the Magic FUN Show and see the reaction it gets from kids in a "real world" setting. DVD's 2 & 3 show you WHY and HOW the show works so well.

The explanations on these two DVD's are crystal clear, to ensure that you will know exactly how each effect and each routine works, and how to get it  to work for you.

Of course, you will need to put some work in yourself (for example, you'll need to actually rehearse the show!) But if you do put the effort in, you will have a show that is pretty much bullet-proof (I can say that with confidence as I have performed this show literally thousands of times in every conceivable venue, in front of every possible type of child!) I have been there, done it and got the T-shirt!

PLUS - 90-minute audio

Along with the 3 DVD's, you'll also receive a link to download an additional 90-minute audio in mp3 format in which I explain exactly HOW I market myself in the UK. I talk about:

  • the best ages to entertain (and WHY!) 
  • The 4 Marketing Keys that I use to keep myself booked week after week. I am one of the busiest children's entertainers in my local market - these 4 keys explain WHY and HOW that happens (it's not just luck!)
  • The four things NOT to do (I'll explain the things that haven't worked for me in the UK, I don't want you making the same mistakes that I have!)
  • the importance of selling YOU - this is the "secret" to everything I do - and it will work for you too!
  • how I received free advertising to every school student in my local area - 2 years in a row (how much would that be worth to you?!)
