I offer flexible packages across Derby and Derbyshire, ranging from a 45-minute comedy magic show to a full 2-hour stress-free party package.
1. The Comedy Magic Show
A fast-paced, highly interactive performance filled with visual illusions, laugh-out-loud comedy, and plenty of audience participation. The routines are tailored specifically to the age group (ideally ages 4 to 10), ensuring that younger siblings and older kids alike are thoroughly entertained.
2. Structured Party Games
If you choose the full 2-hour package, the second half of the party features traditional games with a modern twist. There are no elimination games where kids are left out to sit on the sidelines; everyone stays involved, the energy stays high, and I provide all the prizes.
3. Incredible Balloon Twisting
From colorful dogs and swords to custom creations, balloon modeling is a fantastic addition that adds an extra splash of color and excitement to the day, giving every child a bright souvenir to take home. Magic Stuart makes every birthday party magical.

Frequently Asked Questions
What age group is the show best for?
The performances are custom-tailored for children aged 4–10. The humor and magic style are adjusted on the fly to match the exact maturity and energy of the kids in the room.
Can you do the show in a house or does it have to be a big hall?
I can adapt to almost any space! I have performed in massive community centers across Derbyshire and cozy living rooms in the heart of Derby. As long as there is a small space for me to set up my table and props, we are good to go.
When should we serve the party food?
For a standard 2-hour party package, the ideal breakdown is: 1 hour of magic, 20 minutes for food/cake (while I play background music and do some balloon models for the children), and the final 40 minutes for high-energy structured games.
How far in advance should we book?
Weekend slots—especially peak times between 11:00 AM and 3:00 PM—fill up months in advance across Derbyshire. If you have a specific date in mind, it’s always best to check availability as early as possible.
