Hi Roly, 

 just wanted to say thank you for the boys party on Sunday (24th January 2010)  It was brilliant. They really enjoyed themselves and I had  quite a few parents comment on how good you were with the kids and how much they enjoyed it! Thanks again

Just to say thanks so much for doing Aidan's party (11th April 09), sorry we have not got back to you sooner we have been away.
You were absolutely brilliant and I don't think we have laughed so much in ages, parents included.
Imogen is on at us already, asking if you can come to her party in October, so I'll be in touch once the hall is booked.
Thanks again.
All the best.
Lucy


Thank you so much for a wonderful party today. (22nd March 09)

Sorry I didn't see you before you left to say a final thank you. 
 
It really has been the best party yet, Tom was in heaven, the other parents were incredibly impressed and you took an enormous pressure away from me to entertain and impress a whole gaggle of 5 year olds.
 
Thanks again

I just wanted to thank you so much for doing Anna's party earlier today (28th sept). Your show was fantastic and I loved watching all the kid's faces as they were so animated by your magic. Many thanks again and best wishes Jo

Dear Roly,  John & I just wanted to send you a note to say thank you for the fantastic entertainment at our wedding on 30th August - I am not sure who were more delighted, the children or the adults..!  We have had so many comments about how great you were and how much the younger children really enjoyed themselves, so a huge thank you from us for helping to make it such a perfect day for everyone. With very best regards, Lucie & John McGrath.

Thanks for doing a grand job at my sons & his friends joint party last Sunday (27th June). Don't know what we would have done without you. Best wishes. Kay Benbow (Executive Producer BBC pre-school programmes)

Dear Mr. Richardson, I did not get the chance to thank you today (21st June 08) for running such a super party for our son Nathan. With two much older children we have experienced many children's entertainers over the years. Without a shadow of a doubt you are by far the best, your judgment with such young ones was superb.We are most grateful. Denise Hicks


Many thanks for your excellent show at Oliver’s party on 3rd May 2008. Oliver and his friends (and their parents!) had a fantastic time. As a father I find myself attending a large number of children’s parties and I can say confidently that your show and Debbie’s face painting are the best I have seen.

Thank you ever so much for your great show at Evie's birthday party yesterday (9th Sept 2007). All the children (and the adults) loved it, especially Evie who now wants to make a career out of being a magicians assistant!

Thank you again for making her day so special

Kate Warren

Dear Roly: I just want to write to thank you for the brilliant magic show at William's party last Saturday (21st July 2007). He loved it and hasn't stopped repeating the jokes. Of course, he really does think he magiced the rabbit! You pitched it just right for the children and they all seem to have had a lovely time, so many many thanks, it was a very memorable day!

best wishes Alison Howson (Peppard Common)

Hi Roly

Just wanted to thank you so much for the brilliant party (December 2006).  It was great the way you got the children involved especially the most important ones like Alem, his best friends and his "girlfriend!". I had a lot of people ask me of where I got you from and how much you charged as they would like to consider you for their childrens party.  They especially loved Debbie and even I could not believe how quick but yet how good she was at face-painting.  I had one of my friends say that she has seen many face-painters but not as good as Debbie was.  Well done Debbie - you were lovely! I still have people talking and laughing about the whole party and was even told that it was one of the best parties they have been to and that it will be hard for anyone to do better than what I had organised and Debbie and you were a part of that success, so thanks a lot and I am sure we will be in touch and some point again in the future!. Minnie Mohamed

 

Hi Roly,

Thanks so much for the party in Wokingham on the 15th October 2006 for Angel & Marshall's 5th Birthday. You had the children and adults in stitches the whole time. I've never hired an entertainer before, so I was slightly nervous beforehand, but everyone was impressed with your professionalism, and the adults particularly in your ability to keep 25 five year olds fully entertained for an hour, - and I've never seem my Dad laugh so much ! The twins will  never forget there 5th Birthday !We certainly be recommending you to others.

Best Regards,

Jeremy Buick

1 Joint parties   Some entertainers charge per child, I charge for my time. So why not have a joint party, invite as many children as you can fit in, and halve, third or quarter your costs.  It makes sense to me!
 

2.Travelling area Since creating this website, I am getting enquiries from all over the South of England. I feel I should give you an idea of the areas In am willing to travel to. I live in Reading, Berkshire & I try to stay within a 30 mile radius (i.e. all of berkshire, North Hants, West Surrey, South Oxon & South Bucks + West middlesex). Having said that, I would be willing to travel further on a quiet midweek day.  I hope this is useful. 

Balloon models  Some entertainers spend the last 15 or so minutes of their show, making balloon models for the children.  Although I agree the children like to have a balloon model to take away, I believe if you sell an hour magic show, thats what you should do!  I am happy to supply balloons for all the children for £10, but will either make them up for you before hand, for you to give out, or if I don't have to go to another party, I will make them up after my hour show.

For 3 & 4 year olds I can do a special 45 minute show & then spend another 15 minutes doing balloon modelling.  This is because this age group has a lower attention span & like seeing balloons made into animals etc. This would be the normal hour show price  

3. Police check For your own peace of mind, you may like to know that I have undergone a complete CRB police check (Certificate viewable Below)

I then entertained at many holiday centres through-out the UK, including Mill Rythe on Hayling Island (3 Yrs). The Welcome Holiday Park, Dawlish, Devon (entertainments manager). The Hotel Burstin, Folkestone, and many more.
