21 Years of twisting balloons, performing in Europe, the South Pacific and throughout New Zealand - what a fun way to pay the bills!

Walnut creates all sorts of creatures and hats from his balloons

Kids also love Walnut's children's magic show - perfect for 2 - 8 ages but teenagers also enjoy watching and Mr Walnut's patter tickles the adults too!

Walnut is now taking bookings for his 40 minute long Xmas themed Magic Show, perfect entertainment for pre-schools and kindergartens. This Christmas Walnut's best friend, Santa, can pass out presents and pose with your children.

Walnut also does shows for Retirement Villages and Rest Homes

See what they say about Walnut

You entertained and wowed the audience (even the passers by) with your fantastic show. The fun and light hearted way you delivered your act was very loving. You have a very sincere approach with residents and inpatients. You were mindful of their space and allowed time for them to react. A very uplifting and positive experience!

The residents were all raving about your show, asking me where I got you from and when you are coming again. "Absolutely lovely!" "Very entertaining!" "So Funny!" "He is so clever with those balloons!" .... are only a few comments I've heard. Please come back to Nelson again

Hi there, 
Walnut was great! The children loved the act - had everyone laughing. My own children are still raving about Walnut days later. They want Walnut to come back. My birthday boy was shy, but there were plenty of other volunteers to sit in Walnut's special chair. The adults thought he was hilarious too. 
Thank you, definitely not disappointed.

Hi Robyn
Walnut was brilliant! Not many acts could keep 2-6yr olds entertained for an hour. I was amazed. Very funny for kids and adults.
Many thanks

Thanks so much Pete. Kids loved Walnut and party was a success

Hi Pete
Thank you for your follow up email.
Everything went very well thank you. Walnut was well received by the children and adults.
He wouldn't leave until EVERY child had a balloon, which was wonderful.
Please pass on our thanks to him

Hi Pete,
Every one very happy thank you very much for your help. It was a most stressful time working with the client to get the final ok but the acts were all very well received and I believe they enjoyed themselves also.
Should we have a similar event in the future we will not hesitate to contact you again.
Kind regards

Hi Robyn, all went very well, we had an amazing turnout of 170 children 0-5 years, so to keep things under control we had to speed things up a little.
Thanks again

Dear Kellie,
Yesterday Mr. Walnut came to entertain the children at Riding for the Disabled in Kepa Road, St. Heliers.
He was an absolute darling, he was lovely with the children and they all enjoyed themselves very much, he even won over the staunch older boys. He gave great value for money putting in a lot of effort especially with the balloons, I've never seen such beautiful hats, flowers etc. I would highly recommend him to anybody wanting to entertain children.
Please thank Mr. Walnut from us.
Best wishes,
Beverly Hill

Hi there Kellie,
Just wanted to say a huge thanks from the team here at Vodafone - we had a great time being entertained by Alan and Mr Walnut at our quality launch!!
Cheers
