What happens if you stick a 12 inch needle into a balloon? How wet will you get if Charlie pours a glass of water over your head? Reading the newspaper is one thing, but can you eat it? The children dare Charlie to find out!
‘Don’t do it, Charlie!’ is a magic show for children of all ages - it's full of fun, surprises and lots of audience participation.
Charlie! You’re being silly again.
Charlie gets the blame for all sorts of magical goings on – from multiplying magic wands and gloves that shrink, to flowers that wilt and making hankies change colour.
‘Charlie! You’re being silly again’ is an exciting magic show for young children.
Watch out, there’s a mouse in the house!
So, with the help of the children and a bag of props, Charlie sets out to catch it. Everything that comes to hand is tried out, from pop - guns and juggling balls to a clown’s wig and fishing net.
Charlie creates an extra-ordinary world into which children of all ages are drawn - adults will enjoy it as well.
A clown show for everyone!
Charlie accompanies on guitar to traditional nursery rhymes, activity songs and - for older children - dances like ‘The Hokey Cokey’.
Charlie offers a repertoire of over a hundred songs, so request your favourites!
Lots of hand-clapping and foot-stamping, singing and dancing. Children receive prizes for being the best singers and dancers!
All the children receive balloons in a variety of shapes - aeroplanes, animals, bicycles, butterflies, fish, flowers and love hearts.
The children watch as Charlie makes the balloons in front of them (e.g. round the table while they are having tea, or at the end of the show).
Charlie makes a special balloon for the birthday child (e.g. a motorbike for a boy or a tiara fit for a princess).
For older children, team competitions, memory games, plate races and balloon contests are all very popular.
With captains, judges, cheer leaders and possible parental involvement, the games are high on energy, excitement and razzmatazz.
Charlie hands out special balloons as prizes, or parents can provide their own.
