Here's what you say ...

Sue said: I would like to arrange another 'Wizard Wonky' party. The children and adults love Wizard Wonky's sense of humour.His style helps children laugh at themselves. Highly amusing and entertaining. The kids were fully engaged throughout. A lovely atmosphere
Ben said: Just to say we have used you twice, both times the children loved it.
Nicola said: We all, adults and children thought you were fantastic and very funny, a little odd!! The show was great and it was defo the best party my boys have had. You entertained everyone there and not a child escaped your spell.
Stephen said: Completely WONKY. Great entertainment but only for age 9 Months to 90 years! Thoroughly enjoyed the show & I'm sure the kids did as well. They didn't shut up about Wizard Wonky for a fortnight
Sara said: The children were fully engaged by you which meant we as parents could relax

People who've helped me

Eastnor Castle say (after nearly 15 years!): This week, Herefordshire’s best wizard, Wizard Wonky, has been entertaining our younger visitors when we have been open to the public. Wonky has a range of activities and here he is showing how to make animal shapes from balloons, assisted by his daughter.

He used to be the leader of our children’s group activities when we had a special week for children, but now we spread our entertainments over the whole holiday period so we are less affected by bad weather. His programme includes Fun & Games and Magic Tricks. His sense of humour is fantastic, although many of the jokes pass over the heads of his young audience and more are enjoyed by the parents and grandparents.

In real life, as Jon Norris, he is a Maths teacher, and I wish he had been mine as he has no problem keeping order, explaining clearly and holding attention. His success reminds us that there is nothing better than good live entertainment and a bit of competition. Computer games stand no chance when the Wizard is around!

Tomorrow is his last day at Eastnor this year, so come along if you can, even if it is raining as the Wizard has shelter for himself and his audience… JH-B

My cartoon/charicature was drawn by a very clever lady, Sharon Willmer - Creative Characters, who translated my wordy images into exactly what I meant!
