<p style="text-align: justify;">Growing up with four brothers and a sister, it's no wonder that Mike's career involves entertaining children - he had a captive audience from an early age! (In fact, when he was 7 years old, Mike was using this <a href="http://www.thisoldtoy.com/new-images/images-ok/900-999/FP999-EB341890893-B.jpg" target="_blank">super-duper Fisher Price Magic Set</a> - impressive or what?!)</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Fortunately his brothers have now forgiven him for the magic shows he used to perform at their parties.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">And please don't worry - the magic has got <strong>MUCH</strong> better with time!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Mike is happily married to a wonderful woman, Naomi and has 2 children, Nia (5) and John (2). The picture below was taken at a wedding in June 2011 (they're not always dressed this smartly!)</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong style="font-size: 130%;"><span style="text-decoration: underline; font-size: 120%;">Magic Mike - The Difference</span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There are a lot of children's entertainers around.  So why book Mike for YOUR child's party or Family Fun Day? Why is Mike different?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Unlike many other performers, Mike is a <strong>full-time</strong> children's entertainer. This is his&nbsp; only job! He performs his Magic FUN Shows week after week for children around Bristol, Bath, Gloucester, Swindon and Wiltshire.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Currently 75% of Mike's shows are from word-of-mouth referrals, with delighted parents recommending Mike to their friends. <br /><br />The other 25% of Mike's shows are from people who find this website on the Internet&nbsp; (just like you have!) and like what they see - especially the <a href="http://www.thekidsmagician.com/rave-reviews/" target="_blank">pages and pages of rave reviews</a> from people who have booked Mike!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Mike has been featured in <a href="http://women.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/women/families/article7014821.ece" target="_blank">The Sunday Times</a>, where they said nice things about his Magic FUN Shows and his style of entertainment.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">He also <a href="http://www.thekidsmagician.com/entertainer-trainer/" target="_blank">trains other people</a><a href="http://www.thekidsmagician.com/entertainer-trainer/" target="_blank"> </a>who want to learn how to become a children's entertainer in the UK. So when you hire Mike, you're hiring the entertainer other entertainers have been trained by!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Despite being highly in-demand as a children's entertainer, Mike is first and foremost a family man. He loves seeing his family having a good time and laughing.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>That means he knows how important your child and their party is to you.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">And he will bend over backwards to ensure you, your child and their friends have an absolutely wonderful party!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong style="font-size: 140%;">Important Documents</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Of course, Mike is fully <a href="http://www.thekidsmagician.com/storage/MagicMikeCRB.pdf" target="_blank">CRB-checked</a>, has a <a href="http://www.thekidsmagician.com/storage/Risk%20Assessment.pdf" target="_blank">Risk Assessment</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;has &pound;5 million public liability insurance, which can be viewed by clicking the link below:</p>
