MEET CJ!
Magician, balloon sculptor, and the tall one on stilts. I do kids' parties, school events, festivals, and the occasional adult function that needed loosening up.
CJ The Clown is a small Gauteng act run by me and my partner, Dora, who handles the face painting and glitter tattoos through Dazzling Faces. We book everything through one calendar so you can put together a magic-plus-painting combo without juggling two diaries.
My headline act is a 30-minute comedy magic show pitched for 5–12 year-olds — interactive, silly, and clean enough that the grandparents laugh too. Around that I do walk-about balloon sculpting and stilt walking, both of which work as standalone acts or mix into a longer party.
I work mostly across Pretoria, Centurion, Joburg, and Midrand. I'll travel further on request — I've been on every kind of stage from a school hall to a corporate festival to a private boma in the bush.
Three things we don't compromise on.
Tested material
Every routine in the magic show has been through a hundred birthday parties. If a joke didn't land, it's gone.
Age-appropriate by default
I pitch the show for 5–12 year-olds. Younger siblings are welcome to watch; older kids who think they 'know how it works' tend to be the loudest by the end.
One number, one calendar
Magic plus face painting? Stilts plus glitter? You're booking it all in one cart, from one team — Dora and me.
