About Julie
Auntie Julie was born in Watford and brought up around the Watford and Pinner area. She began entertaining children in about 1999 with a company called Just Games, with a friend from Harrow. Julie started performing around Watford, Harrow and Pinner but as her good reputation spread soon travelled further afield, taking her parties to Hillingdon, North London and Hertfordshire. She then joined the Watford Association of Magicians and in 2005 was accepted into The Magic Circle. Julie now performs over 200 children’s magic shows a year. Whether you are looking for a birthday party entertainer or have a family gathering then Auntie Julie will be right for you.
Julie has her own special blend of entertainment. She entertains the party children with magic, illusions, puppets and balloons. Younger guests enjoy her energetic dance routines and mini disco and the really young children enjoy singing nursery songs.
Each age group presents its own challenges and Auntie Julie has built up a reputation amongst her fellow children’s entertainers as an expert with the youngest guests. All children will enjoy her show. For the younger children there is a special show with singing and dancing. Children and adults with special needs will warm to Julie's easy style instantly.
For the older and more energetic guests Auntie Julie enjoys teaching circus skills. Learn to juggle, spin plates and throw diablo. This can form part of a birthday party but can also be used by Rainbows, Brownies, Guides, Beavers, Cub and Scout groups for their circus and entertainer badges.
Julie also supports sick children in hospitals. She covers Northwick Park Hospital near Pinner and Harrow, and Watford Hospital, next to Watford Football teams Vicarage Road ground. Sick children enjoy her magic show and balloon models, sponsored by a charity called POD
Magic for adults
Auntie Julie is also known as Julie Michelle Carpenter (her official name with Equity), a parlour and stage magician. At show time she can become an officer from the American Forces for a look back at life in the 1940’s, or simply entertain you with her own style of wit and charm. Julie used to be a police officer and brings her stories from the streets of Pinner, Northwood, Ruislip and Ealing together with her magic to form a one hour lecture/magic show for retirement groups. She is popular with the U3A, Townswomen’s Guilds and the WI.
