Fire Shows

Fire performer for wedding

Fire is a great choice for events that want to create a big impression, with spectators being drawn to the danger and daring of the flames. Gather all your guests outside before the band starts performing and our fire performers will create a spectacular show. They will amaze everyone through up close skills, such as body burning and fire eating.

These choreographed shows are the ultimate fire displays, combining movement, music and flames in a slick and impressive package. These set pieces showcase the best of the entertainers’ skills, and are designed to engage the audience as a main event.

Singing Waiters

Liven up your event with one of our teams of Singing Waiters! The secret  singers will arrive approx. 1 hour before the guests and set up the discreet PA system in the room. The singers will be dressed exactly the same as the venue waiting staff and will help serve drinks and various courses. Then when no-one is expecting it they burst into song with a short show!

Silhouette Artists

Hire one of our fantastic silhouette artists to cut silhouette images of all your guests during the drinks reception or meal. With just a pair of scissors and black paper they will produce on-the-spot silhouettes of your guests for them to take home.

The art of cutting portrait silhouettes became popular in the mid-18th century but they are quite a rare breed.

A close-up magician can work their way around your guests during the welcome drinks and perform their magic to small groups, or visit each table during a sit-down meal.

Some magicians can also offer a cabaret performance or even a show to entertain the kids.
