Brilliant balloons and magic at a very good price. We have had Flash entertain our group's party for 5 years. His balloons are the best I have ever seen, so much choice and so skilful. His magic show entrances and amazes the children and adults too. He brings so much laughter and delight, it is a joy to see. More...

We booked Flash for our wedding in December 2016 for both close up magic & balloon modelling & he didn't disappoint with either. His balloon models were fantastic & loved by both adults & kids plus the magic was so impressive it still gets mentioned today. Highly recommend James for any event More...

Flash came to entertain my family members at my Grandma's birthday celebration meal at Beamish Hall. Flash was fantastic as after dinner entertainment. Everyone loved it especially my little girl who was involved during the show. I can't think of one thing I could fault. Brilliant doesn't really sum it up. Would most certainly book again and recommend to friends and family. A HUGE thank you for being part of my Gran's special birthday. More...

We would just like to thank you again for being part of our wedding this Saturday. Everyone agreed you were a great addition to the day and the balloons were clearly loved by the kids (and big kids!
).
If anyone is considering hiring James for balloon modelling, we'd definitely recommend you do. Not only is he a fantastic entertainer, but also a genuinely lovely guy. You won't be disappointed.

Tip top and fabulous! Having seen Flash at a community event I booked him for a birthday party and was not disappointed. Energetic and fun with great party games, balloon models of choice and good humour... a lovely style which the kids really enjoyed. I also bought halloween balloons another time which were brilliant and went down a storm. Hoping to attend or book for an event to see the magic tricks for adults in the near future. Recommend wholeheartedly! More...

How long have you been interested in magic?
Since 1988 when I saw a dove magician while on holiday in Tenerife. I was 8 years old and started learning magic tricks not long afterwards.
Take us through your show – what can we expect?
Depends on which show you book.
All of my shows are designed to be fast paced, visual and funny. The style of performance may differ slightly depending on which show you book eg my stage magic and illusion show is designed for an adult audience, and so my presentation style would differ from how I present my kids shows.
What do you love most about your job?
Making people laugh
Helping make peoples events memorable. eg People often tell me that I made their wedding day extra special which is a great feeling that I can do that.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Magic was my hobby for years and years, but once I reached my 20's people started asking me to perform at events, and so I gradually started making money on top of my day job, and then eventually I was earning more money from magic than I was from my job and so I took the decision to quit and do magic full time.
Why should our clients choose you?
This is a difficult one.
Most of my clients have either booked me before or seen me at an event where I've been booked, so they already know they like my magic and performance style.
A lot of people are price shoppers and will just book the cheapest magician, and those people aren't normally my customers because I'm not the cheapest magician out there (I'm not the most expensive either). People tend to book me because they think I am good at what I do.
Close up magic
Mix and mingle type magic, sometimes called table to table magic.
It is where I mix and mingle with your guests and show them magic while they are sitting or standing in their groups.
Perfect for weddings, corporate functions, dinner parties etc etc
