We hired Magic Philip to entertain all the children at my husbands 40th last weekend. He did an amazing job - all the children (and adults) loved him. He was also unfazed by all the fruit/pirate fancy dress! We have seen him before at various birthday parties and he never disappoints! Would definitely hire again. Thank you Magic Philip!
