Covid Update: We are still in business! And we are delighted that we will still visit some of our regular schools with The Wizard of Castle Magic in December 2020. We’ll work with you to ensure you can still enjoy a Magic Carpet visit. Working with school bubble groups we successfully presented workshops in July and we have adapted The Wizard of Castle Magic for performances in the safest way possible during the pandemic to be suitable for socially distanced groups and bubbles in schools and arts venues and will work with schools and venues to ensure all necessary safety precautions are followed, including no physical audience participation, disinfection of set and props. Masks will be worn for the get in and get out and cast have hand sanitisers. We’ll use discrete radio microphones as sound reinforcement avoiding the need for loud vocal projection. If possible and time allowing we can offer to perform additional performances to accommodate social distancing of groups.
And we have developed a new shorter show capable of multiple performances for smaller combinations of Bubble groups at a special price -
The Big Box of Magic
30 minute show for socially distanced bubble groups of children.
We have developed a new children’s theatre performance suitable for small bubble groups lasting approximately 30 minutes that can be performed multiple times in a day, The Big Box of Magic features a pop up backcloth, entertaining magic and circus routines and loads of fun in Magic Carpet style.
All bookings are accepted on the basis that they are provisional and we understand that they may have to be postponed depending on government and local regulations and the situation in a school or venue.

We were packed to capacity for the show, due partly to the excellent reputation of your last visit and partly to the very good publicity you sent us.

Magic Carpet at the Brewhouse Theatre, Taunton. For scores of parents Magic Carpet provided the solution to what to do in the six-week-long summer break. This fun show had the packed audience roaring out loud for the full 75 minutes keeping them all thoroughly entertained

Having sold out both performances I am sure I made the right decision in booking Magic Carpet Theatre to open our new series of Children's Theatre.

I have been involving children with Magic Carpet since the 1990s. Every single show is outstanding. Every show is different and I am continually impressed with the interaction between the performers and the audience. The ability and desire for impromptu interaction is a rare quality these days - the desire to allow children to participate is a refreshing change in this 'top-down' world. In this production, though extremely well written and performed, the children shine. I cannot do anything else than strongly recommend Magic Carpet to absolutely everyone. i have seen them work with 300 children and also with 75 in large halls and small halls. My advice - book them now before it's too late! Many thanks Magic Carpet for bringing a bit of Magic back into education- for everyone!
