Professor Shell Children's Magical Entertainer

What do we do?

I have been a Children's Entertainer for many years. More than 20 in fact.

I did my first show when I was 16 and turned semi professional shortly thereafter.

My first day job was helping out at the magic studio of the famous Sheffield Magician Hamilton Kaye which I did for a short while, after which I went to work at the Sheffield Magic Shop (Magick Enterprises) on a work experience scheme. This was and still is owned by another famous Sheffield Magician and good friend of mine Russell Hall.

have always been able to relate very well to children and although I still dabble in close-up magic as a personal interest. I have found nothing to date more rewarding than being able to make children laugh.

The charactor Professor Shell that I portray to this day during my performances is best described as a silly billy magician who appears to be as equally surprised at the content of the show as the children are that are watching it.

I have all my outfits custom made to reflect current trends that the children can relate to. At the moment my current Dr Who themed waistcoats are very popular. That said I do also have a range of theatrical custom made glitter jackets, which I wear on occasion.

I personally choose not to dress as a clown, as in my experience, I find this can often frighten young children. Instead I portray the image of a very eccentric looking magician.

During my show I actively encourage audience participation and involve as many children as possible. I then use my experience of audience management to construct situation comedy which results in the children being totally captivated with the order of events.
