Questions and answers
- What age group is the magic show suitable for?
- Any age 5 and up is ideal for the magic show. The performance works well for mixed-age audiences, entertaining children and adults at the same time.
- How long is the show?
- The standard show runs around 50 minutes, designed as the main entertainment at a party. A 2-hour option is also available for hall venues, incorporating games, music, MC duties, balloon modelling, and close-up magic.
- How much does it cost?
- Prices generally start at £200 for a children's party locally. The fee varies depending on distance, event type, equipment required, and the time of year.
- What space do you need?
- Just a table or surface to put props on. Professor Palmermoff arrives around 30 minutes before the show to set up and can perform indoors or outdoors.
- How do I book?
- Call 07939 047780 or email [email protected]. Bookings are confirmed by email, with the date, time, venue address, agreed fee, and a contact phone number.
- How far in advance should I book?
- Flexible dates are easier to secure. For specific peak times (popular weekends, school holidays) it's best to book months in advance. Last-minute bookings are sometimes possible — it's always worth getting in touch.
- Do you perform at adult parties, weddings, and corporate events?
- Yes. As well as children's parties, Professor Palmermoff performs at weddings, corporate events, festivals, schools, clubs, pubs, restaurants, bars, and more — either with a full show or roaming close-up magic.
- Is balloon modelling included in the show?
- Balloon models are made during the show and given as rewards for participation. One-to-one balloon modelling for every audience member is not offered for large groups as it takes too long and the balloons can be fragile.
