As Mr Bimbamboozle, Chris has the happy knack
of winning the confidence of children, his ability to make them laugh, and his gentle but firm control make him popular with kiddies and parents alike, and he is particularly in demand as a birthday party highlight. Whether in the home or local community hall Chris brings fun and laughter with magic and Punch & Judy.
These domestic shows are designed to involve the children in helping to make the magic. Of course the birthday boy or girl is made to feel very special, and are encouraged to assist in a magical feature. Chris is sensitive to the feelings of children and will not press an overly timid child, but it is surprising how even the normally shy ones warm to his encouragement and are eager to be involved.
The show normally lasts about one hour, starting with magic which involves a great deal of participation with the children who, when Mr Bimbamboozle gets into difficulties, seem to know just what to do to make the magic work. There follows twenty minutes of hilarity and
excitement as Mr Punch gets up to his usual naughtiness, is frightened by the crocodile, and is finally apprehended, with the help of the children, by Mr Policeman and is escorted from the scene.
Following the puppet show the magic continues and the usual finale is where a child helper succesfully magically produces enough sweets to be shared by everyone.
