Superior Circus Workshops
| Our workshops are superior to others in terms of Content, Equipment, Safety,
& Training of our Instructors,
Not the mention the sheer fun and sense of achievement.
Our standards have to be the best.
We have trained instructors for Centre Parcs, Pontins & 3D Action Adventure

Our circus workshop is not a glorified juggling class. You get to ride unicycles,
walk a tightrope and try some simple acrobalance. We can even include Globe Walking,
as well as all of the traditional juggling and clowning fun.
We can do formal workshops & classes with clearly set objectives
or as in the picture above, we can supervise while the guests simply "have a go" at their own pace and leisure. .

A novice treads carefully for the first time. Jeremy is supervising as she feels her way.
Should she slip the wire could graze her shins, so she is wearing protection. Notice the team work as another child helps her maintain her balance. After the initial crossing, most children attempt the wire unaided. After an hour or so, many people can walk across quite confidently.

Magic Workshops
This is popular with Children of all ages.
We learn how to perform stunning tricks using ordinary household objects.
Don't be put off by those awful magic sets with crumbly props and difficult instructions.
These tricks will amaze you. You will be able to go home ready to peform most tricks, some you will have to practice a little afterwards.
I'll be giving some insight into the secret world of prestidigitation,
enough that you could pursue this further,
or simply to enhance your appreciation of this fine art when you see it in performance.
An important part of this workshop is the psychology of magic and why it is important to keep the
secret. While this workshop will see you well on the way, it will not spoil the secrets for all future performances.
There is a large gulf between a fellow magician and a smart alec who knows how it is done.
You will leave as a fellow magician.
I know of two professional magicians who first learnt about magic in one of my workshops.
Performance Workshops
Then we have the question of what to do with your new found skills. Performance workshops enable us to combine skills we already have and create something to be shown either in private or in public.
