Newspaper Magic

Newspaper is magic! It can be folded, rolled or torn to make loads of decorative, entertaining, magical and even useful things. Among a barrage of patter a table is produced from some newspaper and the star of the show is revealed. A mortarboard is folded from newspapers to pave the way for a parade of hats and related paper objects. A paper boat and ship’s wheel are followed by Napoleon’s hat and a row of figures. A newspaper is torn up and restored back to its original state. The finale – a lace tablecloth bearing an appropriate message is torn from a large rectangle of newspaper.

Money Folds

Amaze your guests and clients as Steve transforms British bank notes, Euros, Dollar bills or even your own printed fun currency into a jumping frog or flapping bird. Get him to create a lucky charm or a special keepsake. Handcraft your next monetary gift and inspire both surprise and laughter. Or how about a magic trick created out of a bank note? With nimble fingers the paper note is quickly folded into the form of a magician’s top hat. A quick squeeze to the hat’s sides and a rabbit’s head will magically pop up.

Giant Origami

Giant Origami is a new and exciting way of folding paper! Your guests can watch Steve create paper magic whilst he folds giant pieces of paper into shapes in front of their eyes! This needs to be pre-folded prior to the event, and will take approximately 1 hour to complete in front of an audience. Afterwards Steve is available to entertain the guests with close-up origami!
