MAGIC ISLAND
Potty's big, colourful treasure map is used to illustrate this piratical adventure. Potty and the crew begin a quest to save Di the Baby Dragon from the wicked Captain Loppylegs! Jam packed with hilarious magic, Potty needs help when he finds an Enchanted Treasure Chest. Great story, stunning magic, adorable Baby Dragon, and a chance for the Birthday Child to ride on a FLYING CARPET!!! Ages 5+

SKULL AND CROSSBONES CABARET
A hand picked selection of great magic for your party. You may meet Chico the Monkey, Wiggles the Weasel, or play "The Treasure Game" (Potty's favourite, very magical game). For 9 and 10 year-olds, Potty has the very SCARY "Pirate detector and hand chopper-offer", which can be demonstrated with the help of the Birthday Buccaneer! This age group also love to see the Shrunken Head, and Monkey's Paw! As the show is tailored for your party, it is suitable for ANY age.

HOW TO BE A PIRATE
A fun-filled hour of barmy birthday magic and puppetry, specially planned for your party.Includes lots of audience participation, amazing, wacky magic, and an awesome finale! Different shows for every age.

Standard party package includes a one-hour show (can split around tea for younger audiences), games, a big balloon model for the birthday buccaneer, authentic Caribbean medley and pirate songs with the Caribbean guitar (cuatro), singalong for the Birthday Song, and crew cards for everyone.

The deluxe party package is the same, plus balloon models for all the kids: animals, big cartoon characters, balloon costumes, and all kinds of hats - alien hats, flamingo hats, mermaid hats, rocking horse hats.....The pirate costume includes sword, scabbard,hat, banjo (you can really play it!), and parrot.!

Potty also likes to play a song or two on his cuatro - this delightful little guitar is known all over the Caribbean, and is perfect for sing-alongs.

TESTAMONIALS
"..A huge thank you for your show at Kai's party. Even though he was shy he absolutely loved it and has talked about nothing else all day. In fact he wanted to know if you could come home with him next time and read him a story. All the kids had a great time as did most of the adults....."
(Terri, Nigel & Kai, April 2008)

"..a big "Thank You" for your wonderful energy and work at Arthur's party! All the kids and more to the point the parents - really enjoyed it!!....Thanks again - you were brilliant."
Sarah, April 2008

"...I just wanted to thank you for making Patrick’s Party such a success. I have had lots of enthusiastic feedback from parents of kids who came. One boy went home and told his parents in great detail about every trick you did, and talked about little else for the rest of the day, and the day after, so you obviously made an impression with him. My older kids were there for some of the show and loved it too (and they are teenagers, and hard to impress!)I am still reeling from the £ 20 note trick, which was very clever. Thanks again, Gill (Nov 2007)

"...Thank you ever so for coming to my 4th Birthday Party. I thought you were really funny.... We had such a good time and loved your whole show - there were too many good bits to pick out a favourite - it was all my favourite!" Harry, Jan 2008

"Thank you so much for the hard work entertaining our son Alex and his friends - I say "hard" but you made it look you were having as much fun as the kids (and adults). To be entertaining everyone from the moment people arrived until it was time to leave, including songs whilst the kids ate and leading the birthday song was amazing and made for an anxiety-free celebration. Memories of Chico the monkey still make us giggle!"
Steven and Clair Sharpe (Jan 2008)

Thanks you’re a treasure! Ahoy Potty! Thanks for entertaining us so well at Murphy’s birthday party last weekend. As usual we all had a great time - especially Ian in his starring role. We have had lots of praise for you from the other parents - they were all amazed at your skill in keeping so many 5 year olds entertained at once. All of Murphy’s classmates are talking about “Potty” and how they want to be pirates when they grow up! Murphy and Freddie are still aspiring to be you and the re-runs of the show continued long into the Saturday evening! Thank you once again - you really are top banana!
Bridie, Ian, Captain Murphy, Phoebe & Ruby (June 2007)

"...thank you so much for entertaining at my party - you were great. I loved all the tricks and helping you do your magic. All my friends loved you too."
(Francis, June 2007)

"Thank you so much for a great party - Olly and his mates had a great time and children who had previously been scared of magicians, clowns, etc really loved your show!!"
(Oliver and family, June 2007)

"Thank you very much for such a fantastic party on Sunday. I have even had notes from kiddies Mums to say thank you to me for inviting them because their children had such a great time with you!
You entertained them so well, not just with puppets but with imaginative play which is so rare nowadays. The look on all my childrens' faces when their Dad's head disappeared in the balloon box was so funny - Christian's top lip wobbled and Sian started to worry. Their faces were a delight when Dad suddenly reappeared!
Thanks again so very much for such a professional approach from beginning to end."
(Caroline, May 2007)

"A massive thank you for the wonderful party you gave William and Freddie. William actually went to sleep with a pirate's eye patch on that night.
We all felt that you surpassed our expectations, not only with the performance you put in but also the amount of time you gave to the children. You have the rare quality of a children's entertainer who actually connects with the kids on their level which must be how you kept them totally enthralled for the duration of the party, no mean feat!!!
Many of the parents commented on how much their kids talked about the party and how much they enjoyed it...
Shirley (May 2007)

"Just wanted to drop you a line and say thank you for the great party you did for Tom and Dominic. I know the boys were really impressed (as were the adults!)...by all accounts you were “so cool”! (according to my two sons!) All the adults thought it was really good value for money and that you obviously enjoyed your job because you even entertained them while they were eating! Its nice to find someone so enthusiastic about their work!
Many thanks again.
Lisa (May 2007)

"A HUGE thank-you for making James' birthday party last Friday so fantastic. I think that the adults, (particularly the grand parents), enjoyed it even more than the 6 year-olds and you left us on a huge high.
You really made it a very special and memorable occasion and gave an amazing performance- how do you maintain such high energy levels? To keep that bunch of scallywags enraptured for as long as you did is no mean feat, believe me. The new song is totally brilliant, we all enjoyed it very much.
"Tammy" Tim was chuckling to himself all evening, but then he was the biggest kid there. We agreed that it was the best children's party we have ever either held or attended."
Yvonne, Tim, James and Olivia, (April 2007)

"Thank you again so much for Emma's birthday party last Sunday. She and all her friends had a really great time, and I can honestly say I've never enjoyed a kids' birthday party so much, nor felt so relaxed at the end of one!!"
Helen, (April 2007)

"Many thanks for Robbie’s fantastic pirate party. You were brilliant and all the parents were incredibly impressed that you managed to keep so many 3- and 4-year-olds enthralled for so long! Robbie had a ball and is still talking about the party with great enthusiasm. He particularly enjoyed your exploding noise-meter and spends a lot of time running around wearing his balloon-chicken. I think you will definitely be getting some more bookings in Lewes!
Liz Webb & Ed
Parents of Robbie age 4."
