…and their answers
*How do I book Magic Stu?
Contact Magic Stu via the Contact page…….DONT FORGET TO MENTION WHERE YOU ARE AND WHAT DATE!……..Magic Stu will confirm availability within a few hours (normally within 1hr) you will then be directed to the Book Now page to fill out the BOOKING FORM, on receipt of the form you will receive a confirmation via text/email. You will not receive a reply if you dont include the date or location.
*Do you require a deposit?
Yes, Once I receive your Booking Form I will then send a link…via text… to pay the £50.00 deposit, you will have 12hrs to pay it before the booking is automatically cancelled.
*My venue doesn’t have a carpark or guaranteed parking at the entrance, is this a problem?
Yes, I have heavy equipment and I need regular access to my vehicle and due to my busy schedule I won’t have time to run back and forth Im afraid, I am strict about this so that my schedule can run smoothly even if you “offer to help” this rarely happens, if your venue has its own carpark or the venue is on a quiet street where I can park outside or a few feet away that’s fine. Im happy to share your details with entertainers who don’t carry much equipment. If in doubt please check your venue with me as it saves time going through the booking process only to be rejected….all venues are checked.
*When is the balance due?
7days before the party via bank transfer. Cash on the day of the party, strictly on arrival is available (not including schools)
*Will you hold a date?
Yes I can, I can only hold a date for a maximum of 12hrs….on request, however I can extend this request
*I haven’t booked a venue yet, can I still book you?
Yes, and you are doing the correct thing by securing the entertainer first as there are many venues to choose from in most areas, in fact the venue can be advised anytime so long as its in the same town or city. Please Note: I will need free on-site or close-proximity street parking (within 10feet) – NO PUBLIC CARPARKS as spaces cannot be guaranteed to be available or close to the entrance.
*How many children can you entertain?
My popular Packages are on the Packages Page and ideal for upto 100 x children for Package1 and upto 50 x children for Package’s 2 & 3 as the standard games are designed for a maximum number of children, however I can ‘bespoke’ my shows for any event, please message me for any other enquiries Contact Stu I will require: Date, Approximate Time, Area and Approximate amount of guests.
*Will your show fit into my home?
Yes, I perform at many house parties
*Can you perform your show for our school?
Yes, I perform at many school’s every year but please check the payment terms.
*What age range do you entertain ?
All ages, but for Birthday Parties the Package I offer are for ages 4yo-9yo as the audience will be mostly made up of the age of the Birthday child(ren). For example if you book a show for a 4 year old birthday party some of the children will be 3 which is fine.
*I have booked a Games Package with the Magic Show, do I need to supply the prizes?
No need, Magic Stu provides all prizes needed for his games including parcels for pass the parcel etc
*I have booked a Games Package with the Magic Show, do I need to supply music?
No need, Magic Stu provides a sound system with music provided, however if you are booking the 1hr show its a good idea to bring your own sound option to play music if the party continues when Magic Stu leaves.
*How far will you travel?
Magic Stu covers most CF & NP postcodes Newport, Cwmbran, Ebbw Vale etc, not further than Jtn24 M4 (eastbound) For other areas please contact Magic Stu for a cost, I try and keep my bookings within 20miles of Pontypridd.
*Are you CRB checked?
Yes, but its now called a DBS, I can email a copy of my Enhanced DBS if required, I am also on the Enhanced DBS update service.
*The event is outside, will this be ok?
My indoor show may not be suitable if there is a strong breeze outside as props may get blown over, however if its a sunny day with no breeze I will be happy to do the show outside….I will assess this on arrival but plan for an indoor set up.
*Will the Birthday child(ren) be picked as a helper?
Definitely, your child(ren) will be the centre of attention from the beginning.
*Do you ask the adults up to help?
No! The show is for children only and grown-ups don’t like being asked up.
*How soon can I book you?
Book Magic Stu as soon as you can to avoid disappointment.
*Do you have Full Public Liability Insurance, can you provide this?
Yes & yes.
