Trixie The Fairy - Auckland delighful entertainment for the kids - Walkabouts, Magic, Balloons I have 2 shows to choose from - basically both consist of puppets and magic tricks. My pre-school 'Nursery Rhyme Show' is ideal for under 5's. The children get to meet and interact with a number of puppets from Nursery Rhyme Land and sing along to their favourite songs. My second show is aimed at 4-7yr olds and is quite structured. The puppet show is based on the children's book 'The Itchy Witch'. Both shows use the same magic tricks. I make the birthday child a fairy wand and crown out of balloons. I generally make animal balloons for the guests if there are under 20 children. If there are more than this then I am still happy to make balloons but will shorten the show as it will be more time consuming.
TRIXIE THE FAIRY Presents THE NURSERY RHYME SHOW Be entertained by Trixie the Fairy and a cast of colourful characters direct from Nursery Rhyme Land for a fun filled fifty minutes of songs, stories, puppetry and magic tricks. This show was devised specifically for a pre-school audience. Extremely interactive and visually exciting, it is ideal entertainment for kindergartens, birthday parties, play groups, family days…anywhere there is a young audience.

Empress Stiltdance - Wellington	Empress Stiltdance are a troupe of stilt walkers in amazing costumes. We have a seperate page for this act to do it justice
Tricky The Clown - Wellington Professional family entertainment that will appeal to all ages. 'Tricky' performs for around 45 minutes: I start the show as 'Rick' and change into 'Tricky' by applying makeup and slipping on the costume. This helps keep the little ones, who may be afraid of a clown suddenly appearing, feeling safe; I'd hate to ruin a kid's day! It also respects the intelligence of the older kids who would challenge a clown appearing ('you're just dressed up'!). This way I get all the kids onboard for a great time together through music, magic, juggling, and prizes - with lots of audience participation along the way. Suitable for any size audience - and any age! Social clubs, staff's family day, and Christmas or private parties.	TRICKY THE CLOWN - EARLY CHILDHOOD SHOW Tricky is well known to many children and parents, having performed hundreds of shows in the past 18 years of Rick Sahar's 25 year career as a professional clown and entertainer. As young children may be afraid of a clown suddenly appearing, the 40 minute show starts with "Rick" changing into "Tricky" by Rick putting on his clown makeup and slipping into Tricky's clown suit in front of the children. This approach gains the children's interest and trust as it is similar to their own "dressing up" thry do in fantasy play. By seeing "Rick" change into "Tricky" in this way, it ensures the show will be an enjoyable experience for all. While the children find this show delightfully stimulating, they are not overwhelmed. Tricky skilfully guides the children into the Clown's world through fun music, simple magic tricks, scarf juggling, a balloon animal demo while encouraging the children to participate. When you book a show, you also receive a free "Tricky the Clown" music CD - a fun-filled half-hour of clowning songs and other clown activities led by Tricky that includes all the songs used during the show, and more. Both the show and music CD are based on a sound knowledge of early childhood development, suitable for 2 - 5 years. The free CD is a great way to follow-up the learning and fun experienced during the show. Children enjoy hearing again the music from Tricky's show and the additional activities further extend the Clown theme. Be prepared to hear "Tricky's CD" requested again and again!
The Old Waiter-Wellington He’s old, stooped, and slow …and mute - just what you would not want in a waiter. But this “Old Waiter’s” roving show is very funny and includes a bit of close-up magic that will leave your guests awe-struck. Performed on many occasions with brilliant results, you may like to add “The Old Waiter” to your dinner/cocktail party menu as more subtle, low-keyed alternative entertainment to the “Manuel from Fawlty Towers” show.
Santa “Claws” -Wellington Wouldn’t you too be pissed-off having to wear a red suit and white beard to look old and fat when everyone else is partying?! So you take it out on the party-goers, using information supplied by work-mates to poke fun at people during their end-of-year staff party. Definitely “adult”, this is a new fun way to acknowledge the “silly season” that could also include “Santa Claws” handing out specially chosen gifts and “awards” to those who deserve it.
Man in Black -Wellington Secret Agent / Bodyguard / Man of Mystery While your guests are gathering at your special event, ensure their enjoyment (and safety?) with the roving “MiB”. Communicating through a “wire” to an imaginary HQ, the “MiB” downloads data on people and uses what seem to be “high tech” gadgets to scan people, and the occasional women’s handbag, with hilarious results. This roving show would suit as an “ice-breaker” for any occasion, as it will add intrigue and anticipation to your special event.

Trixie Customer Comments: x3
Hello Kellie... Thank you! Trixie the Fairy was out of this World!! Her costume was just so gorgeous, I wanted to get one! I loved her pram too, but most of all, my wee poppet just adored her, along with all the other children. Trixie managed to entertain Alexandrina for the full hour, along with the other children. It is very hard to entertain 3 year olds for that given time. Again, this just shows that she is outstanding. Her little shows that Trixie performed on the children were just so entertaining for them, and alexandrina just loved to dance and perform along with Trixie.... She is the most amazing Fairy, you will ever get... In fact, I gave the Fairy Shop your details, and passed on the high recommendation..... I also, thanked Trixie directly on the phone, and I have absolutely no hesitation in giving a reference... Kellie, thank you for your efficiency..... Warm Regards Kirsty McCarrison Oct 2008 They were all perfect, big thanks to everyone… sherin Peace (April 2008) Hi Kellie Yes, we had a splendid day.
