CJ the Clown performing his magic show to a crowd of children at a garden venue

CJ the Clown

Magic Shows, Balloons & Stilts

A 30-minute magic show kids actually sit still for

CJ the Clown packs clown comedy, magic tricks, and crowd participation into 30 minutes, for children aged 5–10 years. It works best with 10 or more children within the 5 to 10 year age range, and handles up to 50 children at a Birthday party. For larger audiences, please send an enquiry regarding space and sound requirements.

The setup is simple: the children sit on the ground in front of CJ — a shaded patch of grass outside, or a blanket on the living room floor. One request: don’t schedule other activities during the show so nobody misses the tricks. We also kindly request that the children not be served food and drinks during the show, as this can be a big distraction and detract from the show itself.
