Image! =)Madeleine Breaks the Record
On Friday Paul entertained Madeleine at her 14th birthday celebrations with a "Puzzle Mania Party". Unremarkable you might think? but this is the 11th party in a row where Colonel Custard has been lucky enough to entertain. We have seen Maddy over the years with many varied entertainments specifically geared to the age range of the children, now teenagers. We have done magic shows, drama & circus workshops, horror nights & secrets revealed parties. Who knows what's in store for next years Big bash.

Children with heart conditions gathered at the Oxford Spires Four Pillars Hotel, for a Christmas party organised by Abingdon charity Young Hearts, which supports families of children with heart disease. Almost 200 parents and children from babies to teenagers gathered for Sunday’s celebration. Topping the bill was the ever popular 'zany' magician Colonel Custard, who performs every year for the charity. Filmed by Sky news to be broadcast over the Christmas period.

Today it was the turn of The Duchess of York at a glittering bash at Claridges in London at The Sun’s Wondermum awards. Sarah was one of a host of famous faces who attended the special event. Paul performed his close-up magic to the PM Gordon Brown’s wife Sarah, Nell McAndrew, Ulrika Jonsson, Matthew Wright, Christine Bleakley, Sian Williams and Emma Noble.
Image! =)West Sussex Cub Camp
A mum rang me this evening, after a long chat regarding exactly what I was going to do she then said "what are you like with 25 boys, can you cope"? I had just returned from the West Sussex Cub camp where I entertained over 1200 cubs. I think we can cope with 25 no problem!
Image! =)John Hamden School
Colonel Custard returned to John Hamden school in Wendover today for the 5th successive year. Over 150 children and parents crammed into the school hall to witness the mayhem and madness. This consisted of jugging cannon balls with disastrous results. Linking barbed wire rings, a mad experiment with a smokin' dustbin and riding a unicycle with a child on his shoulders.
Image! =)A Big Thank You
For the fantastic party on Monday – the 3 girls absolutely loved it, and the parents of the guests have fed back that their children didn’t stop talking about you all day Monday. The parents have all been asking who you are, where I “found” you, as they’ve never had such an enthusiastic and positive reaction from their children on party entertainers. Many, many thanks – once again! Liz

Image! =)The Roald Dahl Fun Day
Thank you so much for a great day. All the guys and of course yourself were great! Everyone was very impressed with all of your team; you really made the day special. Liccy Dahl (Roalds widow) and Theo (Roalds son) were also about with their families and really enjoyed the whole atmosphere that was created by Colonel Custard and his team!
Image! =)A HUGH thank you from the Birthday Boy
Hi Paul - We wanted to say a HUGE THANK YOU!!!! for being the star attraction at Toby’s party last Thursday. The kids are still discussing Colonel Custard, and Toby is the talk of the town (well, his class, anyway!) The thought of entertaining twenty seven 4/5 year olds for 2 hours brings me out in a cold sweat, even now, but you were BRILLIANT (and worth every penny). With two other children in the pipeline, I’m very sorry, but we will be calling on you again (though I promise I won’t invite 40 next time!!!) With very best wishes - Rhian, on behalf of the Francis Family, Watlington :-)
