Fun school shows
Max the Magician's Really Cool Magic Show consists of a variety of routines using props acquired from all around the world together with items which are unique to his shows. The comedy-based magic show involves over a dozen children as helpers. Max also does a 10 minute routine to music. The show is entertaining for adults as well and video-taping the whole show is permitted.
It is possible for Max to cater for 150 - 200 children, if required, using his PA equipment. The show can be modified to suit different ages and repeat bookings.
Max has many different themes, for example:
Harry Potter, Football, Pirate, Superhero, Star Wars, Space, Environment and more.
