'I recently hired Martin to entertain at my child's birthday party, and he completely exceeded my expectations. His communication before the party was excellent, he was prompt to arrive, and his friendly and engaging personality made everyone feel at ease.Our party was a bit hectic with over 30 kids running around, but Martin managed to keep them under control and entertained the entire time. He was never fazed by the chaos and remained professional throughout. I was grateful to have him there to keep things organised and enjoyable.Martin’s magic show was outstanding and also made customised balloons for each child, and they were thrilled to take their creations homeI highly recommend Martin!'

5th Birthday Party - Honeywell Sports Centre, Barnsley
​
'Martin kept in touch really well before the event and made it clear how flexible he could be with his repertoire, he was keen to assure that nothing was too much trouble. On the day he couldn’t have been better, great communicating with the kids and parents. He did fantastic balloon animals and a very entertaining magic show while the kids had their buffet. Highest praise I can give is that Martin had a constant queue for the balloon animals even though we’d hired a 50ft inflatable assault course haha! Great value and brilliant service, 100% added to our boys special day! Thank you Martin :)'

​
7th Birthday Party - 1st Knaresborough Scout Group Hut, Knaresborough
​
'Martin put on a fantastic show for our son's 7th birthday party. We made things more challenging for him as we had to move from an indoor to an outdoor venue at short notice, but Martin took it all in his stride and was quickly able to adapt his act to suit.
Martin kept the kids well entertained with a good variety of magic tricks and circus skills and was surprisingly adept at keeping things under control as he handed out sticks and taught them plate spinning (not an easy task with 20+ kids!). Towards the end of the show Martin helped the kids create giant bubbles which went down very well. All in all I would highly recommend Martin to anyone looking to organise an entertaining and enjoyable children's party.'
​
[Alan B - Knaresborough]

'Martin came to do my daughters 6th party! He communicated with me from the moment we booked him, talked me through what would happen etc and gave me several options on what I’d like to happen at the party. On the day Martin turned up on time to set up and even gave my daughter a birthday present from him which made her day. The party itself was fantastic and the kids thoroughly enjoyed themselves! The balloon modelling was great and he had a line of excited children ready to request their animal/sword etc overall Martin did a great job and I would highly recommend him for any children’s party.'

'The children and staff absolutely loved the whole school circus skills day. Each year group learnt a variety of different skills which were appropriate for the year group. As well as the children having enormous amounts of fun, the children were developing their hand-eye coordination, their fundamental movement skills and cognitive skills too. We couldn't have asked for a more diverse, well organised and delivered day from Martin's Circus Skills Workshops.'

South Kirkby Academy, Wakefield
'After a fabulous whole-school assembly to begin the school day, Mr Cooper shared his amazing circus skills with all of our classes. His enthusiasm and love for skills and tricks was shared amongst children and staff alike. The children not only had the opportunity to learn about a range of circus skills, they were given ample time to practise and have a go at a variety of different tricks and skills. The sessions ended with a great showcase of learning by the children. A wonderful day had by all - thank you very much Martin's Circus Skills Workshops'
