Pete Hare has spent years learning how to hold a roomful of children spellbound — from the wide-eyed three-year-olds at the front to the "I'm-too-cool-for-this" nine-year-olds at the back. Spoiler: by the end, everyone's joining in.
Expect proper magic, lots of laughter, plenty of audience participation, and a show that grown-ups enjoy just as much as the kids. No cringey gags. No tired routines. Just genuine astonishment, wrapped up in a brilliant party.
Genuine sleight of hand, mind-reading and impossible objects — the real stuff, not just balloons and stickers.
The show is built around comedy. Kids end up centre stage, parents end up in stitches, everyone leaves grinning.
Volunteers, big group routines, magical moments where the birthday child is the star. No one feels left out.
Pace, content and length tailored to your group's age. Indoors, outdoors, big rooms or small lounges — it works.
A special routine just for them — usually involving something they get to keep as a memento of the day.
Holds a current Enhanced DBS certificate (via The Scout Association) and full public liability insurance. Reliable, on time, and easy to deal with from first email to final bow.
Short, lively, full of colour, characters and silly surprises. Perfect for nursery and reception birthdays.
The classic kids' magic show — astonishment, comedy, audience volunteers, and routines they'll talk about all week.
More grown-up magic and mentalism. Ideal for older kids' parties and mixed-age family celebrations.

Parent · Birthday partyThe show was so awesome! You really have a talent for making the children laugh!
Parent · Birthday partyPete has a full-time day job. Magic is his way of giving back — so every penny of his fee is donated to a charity. You're welcome to suggest a cause when you book; Pete is always happy to talk it through.
Fees are commercial — proportional to experience and skill level — and Pete won't knowingly undercut other local magicians.
Drop Pete a line with the date, the children's age range, and rough numbers — whether it's a birthday party, school assembly, nursery group or family event. He'll come back to you with availability, options and a fee, usually within a day.
