Bijou Magic

About David

I became interested in magic and puppets at the age of seven, when I saw a glove puppet productuon of "Pilgrims Progress". Three years on I had progressed to some original thinking and produced,"The Three Bears", which I performed at school. My teacher was so impressed she arranged for me to visit another school for a Christmas party, and I was paid! The die was cast.

1955

I formed the "Bijou Magical Theatre" since then many tours have been made both in England and on the Continent, plus thousands of childrens shows, adult birthday parties, in clubs, theatres and schools.

1959

I married, as an entertainer it was difficult to get a mortgage, thus the need for a 'proper job', I became a child care officer and the next 30 years were spent as a social, and then senior social worker, working mainly with children, only the magic kept me sane. Finally! Having cleared the mortgage and once my children were well settled, I was able to return to my first love, entertaining children and adult, full time, since 1993 I have specialised in close up magic at weddings, corporate functions and adult birthday parties.
