Whoa! December flies by!

What a HECTIC month! We had a blast serving a bunch of year-end events for companies and private functions!

We were pleased to serve Credit Suisse, Shroders, GIC, Ngee Ann City, Temasek Club, the American Club, etc, the list goes on!

I will post some pictures when they are available but we were so busy - we hardly has any time to snap pictures.

Year of the Rabbit for 2011!

Fun Birthday Party at Raffles Town Club ! (Lightning McQueen theme!)

The young kids had lots of fun at the party!

I also made a SPECIAL BALLOON SCULPTURE for the birthday boy!

I am one of the rare entertainers in Singapore who caters to parties with young children aged 2 - 4 years.

It features Rex the Baby Dinosaur puppet - A Ventriloquist Puppet!

You can check out the special package for the young ones at http://stardazzleconcepts.com/birthdays.html

During the Comedy Juggling segment

They like the Baby Dino Puppet too!

The Birthday Boy with his Special Lightning McQueen Balloon!

It took me 20 mins to conceptualise and 40 mins to make! (Pre-made and brought to party!)

 

It takes a lot of skill and effort! 

A special request: Unicorn!

Great Email feedback from Customers!

Wow! We had lots of parties held in pre-schools in the month of Nov!

My team and I are serving over 100 shows in Nov and Dec this year!

Some great comments from customers last week!

"Hi Edmund, thank you so much for the entertaining magic show last week!

The kids are still talking about it until now!"

"Dear Edmund,

A huge thank you for taking such good care of all the kids at Tripti's party. 

They had a blast!! Diya and Tripti were really happy. 

All my friends were also very impressed with you and the face painting artist. She was wonderful!!

Notes: Read my previous post of someone using our face painting pictures illegally!

Beware of IMITATIONS!

BEWARE OF CHEATS and False Advertising

Hi all,

Yet another case of fraud this year - Visited a local face painter's website and saw our Star Dazzle Concepts works/picture there.

Apparently, she was trying to pass off our original work as her own. Tsk Tsk...


Naturally, I had to take action.

We are at the forefront in certain aspects of children/family entertainment - Many people might suppose it's flattery if others try to copy our work.

NO, it's not. At least not to me. It's plagiarism.

Over the last 10 years, we have had to approach the police and the courts to deal with certain cases.

A big local company recently paid us damages in an out-of-court settlement for illegally using our pictures for their promotional purposes.


Support original work - a copycat will always be what it is - a copy of the original.

Children's Day At Goldman Sachs Bank

We received lots of compliments and positive reviews from the children and client at Goldman Sachs!

It was 'Bring your kids to work' day and it had a very interesting 'Recycling' theme!

We were able to incorporate the theme into our show - a crushed and empty Coke can refilled itself and became a new can of Coke!

I gave it out during the show as a prize - and also magically produced a Giant 8 Foot tall drinking straw!

 Much of the decor was made with recycled materials - great job!

Balloon sculpturing segment!

Captain Dazzle's new costume for 2011!

My New Costume from USA is here! It took my US tailors 2 months to make it.

There are some minute changes that I am making, in consulation with my local tailor. It will be ready soon, it looks great!

Some preview pics:

Pants, Shoes and Vest!

At a 'Alien' themed party! Check out his cool DIY space hat!

With Baby Elmo!

Lots of fun at Agustin's Party!

Where did the Month of Oct go?

The Month of Oct - as usual, is a SUPER BUSY month for us.

There are Children Day Celebrations, the Chinese Lantern Festival Celebrations - I hardly slept at all!

It's Nov 2010 now - and we are getting bookings for Jan 2011.

It's never too early to plan for your event - some popular dates and time slots in Jan has already been snapped up by eager parents/customers.

Our schedules for the month of November and December are also pretty packed!

Some new pics to share:

More Sand Art Samples

Piglet - Winnie the Pooh's Best Friend

Twins' birthday - Both of them love the Buzz Lightyear!

NEW! Creative Sand Art - New Size!

We are phrasing out the old smaller size and introducing the new Large size!

The larger size will be easier for the younger children - the increase in fees is only very minimal.

The small size is 5" x  7", while the large ones are 6.5" x 9.5".

We are also in the midst of switching the Sand from a local brand to a US-brand - the visual effects are stunning!

We are constantly looking at ways to innovate and re-invent so our customers can benefit!

So Special and Yummy!

Serangoon Gardens Country Club - Birthday Party - Good Feedback!

From my customer mummy:

Hi Edmund,

Just wanted to thank you for a wonderful party today. Your were fabulous as usual!

The kids really enjoyed it, and Sophia and Benji had great fun!

Do keep us informed when you start serving Rasa Sentosa again.

Have a great weekend!

(Rasa Sentosa and Barnacles Restaurant is currently undergoing a major face-lift! We have been serving the hotel since 2007 - We hope to serve them again once the renovations are completed!)

Wacky hats competition?

World Breastfeeding Week 2010 - City Square Mall

World Breastfeeding Week 2010 - City Square Mall!

I was able to showcase one of my latest magic prop at the event and it was great!

The Magic Drawing Board - Hands-free is a SUPER highlight at all my shows last week and this weekend!

In a gist, a hand-drawn face picture on my white board comes alive and speaks to the children!

No one manipulates the board or goes anywhere near it - it's a wonder to see the face move! For the technology, I had to fork out USD $1,500.00!

I am probably the one and ONLY entertainer in Singapore to own this piece of amazing illusion! Most entertainers will settle for the manual version costing only a tiny fraction of what I paid for.

 The "Boy" on the whiteboard moves his eyes, talks and sings to the children!

The umbrella - Man's best friend, rain or shine!

Giant Silk Rainbow Flower - it blooms like magic!

Support Breastfeeding! And you won't need a straw!

A happy child assisting me with a juggling ball trick!

Mesmerized by the magic!

Everyone's clapping for the girl! Well done!

Animal picture card magic - the kids like the visuals!

The rabbit on the picture vanished! Where did it go?

Wow! It transformed into a REAL bunny rabbit!

SGH - Department of Anaesthesiology event at Sentosa Golf Club

We provided our balloon sculpturing artist, caricature artist and my unique magic and juggling show for the event!

There were many very cute and intelligent children and we had a great time - we like appreciative and attentive children!

I also perform some close-up magic for the children - of which, the most requested was my signature "signed card to wallet"

A child personalizes a playing card by writing his name on it and shuffles it into the deck and it appears inside my wallet - After the FIERY FLAMES subside - HOT piece of magic...

Real Flames! No camera tricks or photo editing!

(It doubles up as a deterent against theives!)

Corporate Office Children's events (ING Bank and Microsoft Singapore)

We served 2 events last week at ING Bank and Microsoft Singapore.

ING bank - Badge Making - some works by the children

ING Bank's logo has a lion and upon request, we provide custom pictures of lion designs for the children to color.

Outside Microsoft Singapore

We also served several birthday parties in the same week!

At Pat's Schoolhouse (Claymore Hill) with Princess Aurora

Close-up magic - Linked Rubber Bands!

One of my favorite effects - 2 yellow rubber bands becomes linked within each other!

I also give it out to the birthday child as a souvenir! The bands are really linked!

A sample - click to enlarge

One of the bands becomes a STAR!
