'James is a first class children's entertainer. He was invited to a Christmas party hosted by the First Minister, Alex Salmond, to entertain children from both Donaldson's School for the Deaf and the Royal Blind School - a challenge James rose to magnificently. He developed a series of magic tricks specifically for his audience which captured the imagination of all (including the adults!) holding them captivated throughout. An afternoon full of laughter was had and I have nothing but praise for James' show. Thank you, and hope to see you again very soon'.

"Hi James,

 Just wanted to thank you so much for making my daughter and her friend's 5th birthday party so memorable!  The party was incredibly slick and all the children thoroughly enjoyed themselves.  Erin, who is not a great fan of men (!), thoroughly enjoyed meeting you and classed you as one of her favourite party guests!!

Many of the other parents who stayed also said that they were impressed with the party and wanted to know where I had found out about you - I told them!!

Here's to continued success, James.  Thanks again for all you did today!

Eilidh's Party in Kirkintilloch, June 2008

Thank you so much for the brilliant party.  Eilidh and all her friends had a super party.  I thought I'd made a huge mistake allowing Eilidh to talk me into inviting everyone in her class to her party but I needn't have worried - somehow you managed to keep all 34 children enthralled by your really funny magic show and keep their attention for the party games. I know it couldn't have been easy as some of the boys were particularly boisterous - but you made it look easy (I think you enjoyed the challenge).  It was certainly the easiest party I've ever organised as all had to do was provide the food and then sit back and enjoy the show.  I've already been asked by other parents for your number so I think you'll be back in Kirkintilloch before long.

Thanks

Eleanor

"Hi James

Cara here.  Hope you got back ok last week for your gig!  The girls thought you were absolutely brilliant!!

Hi James, Thank you so much for making our daughter's 5th birthday party fantastic!! You did an amazing job of entertaining all the kids at all times - they loved the musical games and the great fun with the magic show. Both kids and adults all mentioned how much they had enjoyed the afternoon - not sure how we'll be able to top it! The party bags and balloons were also fantastic, which is always another special part of a birthday party! Thank you also for being so easy, helpful and friendly to work with throughout the whole process: from information and booking at the outset, to the "amazing" party experience, and answering all my questions in between - much appreciated indeed!! Wishing you and your young family all the very best! Kind regards, Kirsty

My son went to his friend's fourth birthday party (Feb 08) and James was the entertainer. I was very impressed - he had the children enthralled for a full 45 minutes with an excellent mixture of slapstick 'messing it up' and real tricks. Both children and adults laughed a lot and it was a pleasure to watch the childrens' faces. He was extremely approachable and friendly to adults and children alike. The balloon sword which my son got at the end was a highlight for him. My son really enjoyed the show and so did I!

Hi James, Just to say thank you for the wonderful day of entertainment we received yesterday (20th Decemebr 07) It was fabulous! The feedback for the parents has been terrific. I particularly appreciated the lovely Rose you made for me during the show, the children found it hilarious!!! ( I wonder why?) Anyway we would certainly recommend your show to other nurseries and of course primary schools for entertainment value. 10/10 WONDERFUL.

James Kennedy is a first class children's entertainer. He has worked in Ogilvie Primary on a number of occasions, giving Magic Shows, Karaokes and Discos. He has a very special way with children and they absolutely love him. He has become a great friend of the school, and the staff, as well as the children, look forward to his visits. I highly recommend him.

Frances C. Kennedy (No Relation) Head Teacher, Ogilvie Primary

Dear James I am writing to thank you for the great parties you gave the children last Christmas. All the children were engrossed in the magic and before they get the chance to fidget you get them all up for some games and dancing. You always manage to tailor the shows for the ages present and they all have a ball. Looking forward to seeing you again this year especially the Santa Via Satellite show it was amazing last time.
