<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;">Don't worry though - the magic has got MUCH better with time!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Mike is happily married to a wonderful woman, Naomi and has 2 children, Nia (3) and John (1).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><img style="width: 350px;" src="http://www.thekidsmagician.com/storage/Magic%20Mike%20and%20Family.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1267098145571" alt="" /></span></p>

<h2><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Magic Mike - The Difference</span></h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There are a lot of children's entertainers around.  So why book Mike for YOUR child's party? Why is Mike different?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Well, Mike currently performs between <strong>20-30 shows per month</strong> around Bristol. 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 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!<br /><br />He's also 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;">Mike also <a href="http://www.entertainertrainer.co.uk/" target="_blank">trains other people</a> how to become children's entertainers. So when you hire Mike, you're hiring the entertainer other entertainers have been trained by!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Of course, Mike is fully<a href="http://www.thekidsmagician.com/storage/The Kids Magician CRB.pdf"> CRB-checked</a> and has &pound;5 million public liability insurance, which can be viewed by clicking the link below:</p>
