Packages
- 45 Minute Magic Show — Price on application Malcolm's 45-minute (or one-hour) children's magic show packed with audience participation, balloon modelling, and interactive tricks. The birthday child takes centre stage as Malcolm's special helper, with their friends amazed throughout. Ideal for parties with younger children or where other activities such as face painting are also planned. Malcolm can slot the show in at any point to suit the host's schedule.
- Malcolm's 90 Minute Party Experience — Price on application A 90-minute show covering all the highlights of the 2 Hour Party Roadshow but without a dedicated food break. Party food is served during the final 30 minutes of the party, with Malcolm finishing by leading Happy Birthday and the birthday cake presentation. A free downloadable and printable party invitation is included.
- 2 Hour Party Roadshow — Price on application Malcolm's most popular option — a full 2-hour party package running from first arrival to final goodbye. Includes background music as guests settle in, a magic show with balloon modelling (every guest takes home their own balloon, with a special model for the birthday child), party food break with mingling and Happy Birthday, then party games, competitions and a disco finale. Malcolm manages the entire party; the host provides only the food and venue.
- Mix & Mingle — Price on application Malcolm circulates among guests performing balloon modelling and juggling — particularly well suited to outdoor events such as street parties, fetes and BBQs. Can be combined with a 20-minute magic show for added impact. A relaxed, informal entertainment option with no set stage or seating required.
- Close-Up Magic — Price on application Malcolm walks the tables performing mind-boggling card tricks and close-up magic at special dinners, corporate functions, parties and balls. Also available during pre-reception drinks at weddings, or to keep children entertained in an adjoining room during speeches so adult guests can enjoy the occasion undisturbed.
- School / Pre-School Show — Price on application Tailored entertainment for schools and pre-schools, available in 30-minute, 45-minute or one-hour formats to suit the children's age and attention span. Younger children receive a magic show; older children can have a combined magic show and disco. Multiple sessions per school day are available. An optional Magic Workshop teaches children magic tricks, juggling and balloon modelling.
