I am thrilled to share my exceptional experience working with Mr. Bottle Kids Party, especially considering the unique circumstances of organizing a family day event within a remarkably short four-day timeline. Despite the challenges, they managed to orchestrate an extraordinary event that left us all in awe. Our decision to embark on this last-minute family day journey was certainly unconventional. However, Mr. Bottle Kids Party swiftly embraced the challenge and exceeded our expectations at every turn. From our very first contact with their team, their professionalism and dedication shone through. What truly amazed us was their ability to understand our needs swiftly and translate them into a captivating, well-rounded plan. Their ready-tailored premium package, which offers a comprehensive solution for pulling off an entire event, truly proved to be a transformative solution. This package not only showcased their event planning expertise but also underscored their commitment to delivering engaging experiences for everyone involved. But what truly stole the show were the special highlights that Mr. Bottle Kids Party brought to the event. The roving magician left both kids and adults amazed, with his enchanting tricks and captivating performances. The interactive engagement he provided was a welcome delight that added a touch of magic to the day. Additionally, the photo booth with unlimited print-outs was a huge hit. It became a hub of joy and laughter as guests captured and shared precious memories in real-time. In spite of the tight timeline, their meticulous attention to detail in both setup and decorations was evident. The atmosphere they created was not only visually stunning but also perfectly aligned with the thematic essence of our event.

Of all the magicians in Singapore, I have never seen one who can instantly charm all the kids in an instant even before the show begins! Mr Bottle has a natural appeal to kids and his carefully produced magic shows demonstrated his passion to make all magic elements flow and captivate to the fullest, such that for years after, kids and even adults still hold the memory of amazement and wonder at the magical experiences. Mr Bottle is witty and responsive to his audiences that made him stand out as an extremely talented performer in all. Highly recommend!

Close-Up Magic for Events

Whether it is a birthday party, family day, kids@work events, or Dinner and Dance, this is a perfect tool to pull your guests together! 

Mr Bottle's magic creates talking points and draw people into your event. A lot of times, guests remember the event because of our close-up magic!

Case Study:

Philips Lighting engaged Mr Bottle’s Kids Party for their Family Day at the Night Safari for the 1st time. After watching Mr Bottle’s close-up magic, everyone decided to stay on to watch his Magic in a Bottle show! (Then we discovered that in previous years, many families would forgo the show to go to the attraction or home earlier.) The company booked us for 10 more shows after that.

Table Hopping (Magic) for Restaurants

In restaurants and F&B outlets, magicians move from table to table to perform magic for your customers. We have done it in bars too. Our customers include Bar84, Grand Hyatt Singapore, and Todai.

Do you encounter the following problems as a restaurant, pub, and F&B outlet owner:

  • Manpower – Staff doesn’t turn up for work suddenly and you are short-handed. Customers take longer to be served.
  • Not enough customers during your off-peak periods
  • Too many customers during your peak hours
  • Too many competitors in your area. 

Close-up magic may be the solution for F&B establishments because of the following benefits: 

  • Reduce Waiting Time – Long queue outside your F&B outlet? Magic can keep the crowd there so they won’t leave for your competitors. Magic at the tables will psychologically reduce the waiting time if your diners’ food is too long. Our magicians are experienced in handling F&B situations and know how to react to customers’ requests.
  • Help you turn around your tables – We DO NOT hold back your turnaround time with magic because we only perform to diners waiting for their turn or food. We can help pull your customers away from their tables to another area (eg. the bar) to watch the magic. Talk to us to understand our objectives-driven strategies to improve your business.
  • Stand out from your competition – Having entertainment will make your restaurant/pub stand out. Magic is unique. Position your outlet as a restaurant that offer great entertainment and use magic as a puller during your quieter days! Our clients had more regulars and revenue within 2 months of implementing our close-up magic. 
  • No Space Needed – Rent is high in Singapore. You don’t need a stage or even a corner for close-up magic!
  • Hassle-Free – No need to invest in costly sound system and other logistics. Work with us on a 2-month trial with minimum upfront investments!
  • Personalised –  Which one will customers remember better: A personalised “thank you” card vs a sign saying “thank you for coming”? Magic brings across that personalised experience for each table. Magic creates memory recall for your business.
  • Customised – We can even customise our magic to give away your vouchers and souvenirs to increase returning customers. In Todai, we realised that many diners are coming to celebrate their birthday so we created a personalised birthday magic for the restaurant. 
  • Targeted – As a magician with 20 years of experience, Mr Bottle knows which tables want quiet moments to themselves and who are impatiently waiting for their food. With targeting, you are implementing a change without risking losing your customers.
  • Transience language – Magic is a wonderful tool that can entertain all age groups, languages, and cultures. Mr Bottle has garnered great reactions even when the audience didn’t understand English/Mandarin.

Case study of Mr Bottle's close-up magic: 

In Japan, customers are willing to spend US$20-120 on top of their drinks to watch magic at bars. Imagine the value you are giving to your customers if you have close-up magic at your F&B outlet. Some restaurants can charge more for food because of the table-side entertainment. During Mr Bottle's stint at Bar84, customers regularly buy drinks for him as they were impressed with his magic. 

Close-up magic may not be the only solution for any restaurant. Tell us your restaurant size, crowd, location, etc so we will find the best strategy to achieve your ROI.

Early Bird Entertainment for Weddings

Most guests arrive late for a Chinese weddings in Singapore! The early birds have no choice but to wait for the banquet to start. 

Photobooths are great ideas to keep guests occupied. 

Close-up magic is a perfect pre-dinner fringe activity for wedding couples looking to have something unique to create wonderful memories.

Mr Bottle is bilingual so he can engage the aunties and uncles, click with your grandparents’ generations, and play very well with children too! (On the other hand, if you want to have magic during dinner, we suggest having a short stage magic show since Chinese weddings have 2 march-ins, 2 videos, the couple going around the tables to take photos with guests, etc.)

For a small wedding luncheon in which the celebration is a cozy affair, roving magic is perfect since there is seldom any stage program nor march-in.

Mr Bottle has performed at numerous weddings in Singapore. He also performed at a wedding in Udaipur, India attended by Bollywood Celebrities and ministers.

Entertainment for Pre-teens and Teens


Close-up magic is perfect for teens birthday parties. Being a teenager is not easy. They are in an age group want to gain acceptance with their peers. Entertaining this crowd is difficult.

Hence close-up magic is one of the best entertainment for them because it is:

  • Up close and personal – it helps to eliminate all possibilities of how the magic is done. (unlike stage magic because it is far, they think there are ‘strings or magnets’)
  • Trending / Popular – With close-up magic taking centre stage in recent years like David Blaine, Dynamo and more recently Shin Lim, teens are more intrigued by this special brand of magic.
  • Informal – street magic doesn’t invade their space. The show can be short if they are distracted and eager to look for their friends, and longer if the crowd is interested.
  • Value-for-money – Close-Up Magic captures the attention of as many as 25 people simultaneously. This can be repeated for different groups hence the price per audience is much cheaper compared to facepainting or caricature.
  • Whether you have a crowd of 200 or just a cozy party for 20, we can recommend the best duration for your event.
  • In other words, birthday parties, proms, and graduation parties are perfect celebrations to include close-up magic.
