Art for me

2011-12-12T00:44:00.002+08:00

How do I design? Firstly, there's a thought process.

For instance the final artwork of the musical Yum Sing is because of the storyline: It's about a clash of bride and groom's families with one side wanting a modern wedding whereas the other wanting to keep to the traditions.

So basically, the first step to designing is the research. After that, I comes up with the drafts of possible concepts.

The final design chosen is to show the contrast of traditional vs modern. Traditional being red and serving tea, whereas the modern is white and wine is served. (During that time, I don't think there's internet yet! So clipart availability is very limited given my resourced!)

The internal is designed like a wedding card to fit into the whole theme.

Why am I talking about this? Well, designing magic is like designing my art. I do research and I come up with many possibilities to show the effect as well as to solve the technical parts of magic. Then I experiment and finally the best concepts is used and the final show is what you get!

Art for me

2011-12-05T23:56:00.001+08:00

Along the way, I got to know a prominent Pediatrician and a very passionate musical composer, Kenneth Lyen, and helped design his musical tickets, programmes, etc. Here are some of my works:

Along the way, I set up PerceptAds to manage the art side of things. One of the most prominent projects is the designing of NYDC's loyalty card.

But I didn't have a lot of business because I was busy! I was getting more shows then my magic business is still my number one passion. In fact, I remembered that in 2000, NYDC's boss called back to repeat business but I pass on the business because I was going on Starcruises Virgo to perform.

Although this business didn't kick off, but I think it was a fantastic experience that I will not give up for.

I still enjoy designing some of the artwork for the company. It does come in useful!

Art for me

2011-11-30T23:48:00.004+08:00

Although I didn't manage to pursue my art interest in Junior College, I decided to continue taking night classes during my National Service.

I decided on Visual Communications at NAFA. One of the most memorable lessons was in fact not on visual communications, but on fine arts. (Don't ask me why a Visual Communication course has a lesson on fine arts!)

The teacher from China, imparted his principle of "drawing from the heart". This led me in the latter years to develop my own style and drawing that base on my own personal thinkings.

Here's a sample of my drawing, inspired after reading about Picasso and cubism:

Magic is definitely a form of performing art. Every magician should have his own individual style and that style should come from the heart. I feel that magic has a means to an end.

I think I am very lucky to be given the right philosophy and thinking in the early years of life which probably shape my philosophies on performing as well.

Art for your Kids II

2011-11-24T23:18:00.002+08:00

I remembered taking art lessons when I was a kid. I remember this art teacher's way of conducting her lesson: She will ask us to copy her drawing from the whiteboard wholesale, right down to the way she drew her people; with large noses.

It was when I was in Junior College, my entrepreneurial spirit kicked in and I decided to teach kids how to draw. I was thinking I could probably draw better than that teacher since I got an A in my GCE 'O' levels for my art. I remember occasions that my classmate in secondary school would "copy" my artwork sometimes! In fact, I contemplated studying art in Junior College but was discouraged as I was in a triple science combination.

Wanting to be independent from my parents, (i.e. stop taking my pocket money), I asked my father if I can run my own art lessons at his RC. He agreed! So I designed a poster, photocopied and up in went around the neighbourhood. I had some (not many) kids for a start.

It was a creative outlet for me, thinking of different pictures to teach the kids to draw (or copy) every week. I remember teaching them how to make this fireworks picture by scraping of black parts of their crayons.

Now at Mr Bottle's Kids Party, we also run art and craft workshops. It's like full circle to my "art career"!

Do catch our staff at different OCBC branches teaching kids how to draw!

Art for your Kids

2011-11-17T23:34:00.001+08:00

Another passion of mine is art!

I would draw my own comics series, like Tin Tin. It's a pity I throw quite a bit away during spring cleaning some years ago. Here's what left:

I also love drawing the latest cartoon series on TV like ghostbusters and ninja turtle!

(My very own "How to Draw Cartoon" book)

Here are activities you can do with your kids:

Give them a blank book or my Nothing Book, tell a story and ask them to draw it. You will be surprised how different the perspective of your kid can be from adults!
Give them a blank book or my Nothing Book, give them some ideas to kick start their own storybook or comic.
Draw some shapes and ask them to imagine and expand their own drawing from there.

Hope you enjoy them!

Toys for your kids

2011-11-11T05:22:00.001+08:00

My childhood is not just about magic. I am just like any other kid in my days. I love toys. In fact, I still do. Once in a while, I love to attend the big toy fairs in Hong Kong to see the latest toys available in the international market. (A lot of toys don't get their appearance here because of Singapore's small market!)

The toys nowadays are so creative! One of the most fun shops that I love to go to is the one at Science Centre. It stocks a lot of toys that can't be found in departmental stores. I recently met up with the bosses of 75 Volts, which distributes a lot of the toys at Science Centre shop. Great creative stuff!

Recently, I saw some toys in the market, which have been magic items for years already! It just takes some innovative guy to re-package and make it kid friendly for the mass market!

In my days, the one of the most incredible toys I remember was a Mask toy that will break off by itself. (By some remote or infra-red, probably.)

When I was a child, my favourite was this Lego set that my aunt from Canada bought for me. It was this huge set of Lego that was so cool.

When Mask came out with its cool machines, and I couldn't persuade my parents to buy me that, I made a copy using my Lego set. I remembered making lots of different things using Lego like a space station, with a lift in it. I still have the lego set; waiting for my kid to grow up before I hand it down.

When I read about PCF signing a deal with Lego to use Lego as a teaching tool, I thought this is exciting! In fact, I think the rest of the kindergartens should follow suit!

I am not saying other toys are not good! I think when you select a toy, choose one that gives them a lot of space for imagination and creativity. I think it will Lego is my top choice.

Can't wait for the nearby Legoland to be opened.

My First Magic 7: My first REAL magic show?

2011-11-04T04:02:00.001+08:00

Although during my childhood, I had never been to a birthday party which had a magician, I never was deprived of watching magic shows.

My father was a very very very (did I say very?) active volunteer in his grassroot neighbourhood, involving himself in the Resident's Committee (RC), Community Centre, Civil Defence, Town Council... you name it, he is (still is) probably some part of it.

As a kid, my parents would bring me along to the events he was involved in. I was very lucky to have seen all kinds of magic shows.

One of them, that I remembered, was a magician from China. He was charging real cheap so RCs were booking him... a lot. He linked rings, he made egg appear, without much presentation.(Given that he don't speak English.) I thought, I could do that...

In fact, I thought I could do what most of the magicians are doing since I could guess the secret behind them. I just need their props and practice right? I was wrong!

Some years later (around 16-17 years old probably), I was given a chance to perform at my father's RC. (for free I think) I put together a few magic tricks that I just learnt and tried to perform them that evening. What a failure it was.

The selection was definitely wrong. It was a very forgettable show. (In fact, I forgot mostly what I did.) I think nobody understood what I was doing. I wondered even if people could see what I was doing! (One of the magic was done on a table.)

It was then I realised that there are some things much more than the secrets. I was on a long journey to learn what really magic is....

My First Magic 6: My Magic Books

2011-10-28T13:42:00.003+08:00

Other than the books I copied from the library, I wrote down magic books on my own. I also created and adapted magic of my own. Some of them, looking back, was quite nonsensical and some, interestingly, works, including those which I put some thinking into the choreography and blocking of the magician!

I also recorded the secrets of the magic tricks that I have guessed on television, concerts and shows. In other words I had a lot of "Nothing" books! (My mother was a kindergarten teacher until I was about 5 years old so she had a lot of empty books for me to write and paste things on.)

Mad Book of Magic!

An elaborate magic trick on stage with just a coin!

My own script about Flying: 'Name me a thing that flies. Yes, birds aeroplane. Who build the first aeroplane. Wright. (Ok, ok, I didn't have that pun then.) Name me a thing that floats in the air. Yes, a hotair balloon. There's one more thing that float: it's this stick. Now don't blink your eyes, you are about to.... erm, I see two boys did as I told them. They did not blink their eyes, they close them! Now really look closely.'

I experimented and made a stick float in the air when I was twelve years old. (That was some time before David Copperfield floated!)

This entry is after watching Princess Tenko perform on TV or live probably! (Oh, I love magic so much, that I bought a ticket to watch her and gatecrash a 2nd time to watch her again! Tickets are expensive even though she came in my secondary school days!)

The secret of how David Copperfield made the Statue of Liberty disappear. On the bottom of the page, I made a cheesy joke of why the statue is that of the lady, not man, or else there would be a smell from the armpit that's carrying the torch.

My First Magic 5: My First Magic Kits

2011-10-25T04:32:00.001+08:00

My first magic kit was probably bought from a shop in Marina Square. Someone was demonstrating the magic and I think my parents were very surprised with the outcome. So they bought the set which has 2 magic inside it.

I had lots of fun playing with them. (Although as a kid, I find one of them almost impossible to do!) I have sort of graduated from a homemade magic to something... different!

Then later, a pepsi has this promotion which was giving away free magic tricks whenever you buy lots of drinks. My dad managed to get his hand on quite a few and I think I almost collect 70% of what they offered. Suddenly, my repertoire of magic increased! I would play them over and over again.

Finally, probably the most expensive magic kit I had that I finally got in Primary 6 was this $19 set from Gician's Novelty. $19 then was A LOT of money. I didn't buy it myself. My parents would NEVER EVER buy it for me. My aunt and uncle, who brought me to this exhibition at World Trade Centre, bought one for me and one for my cousin. (Ironically, Gician became a very good friend, whom I go magic conventions with and he is performing for our company now!) She went on to give another bigger magic set that year again.

My aunt has always been very supportive of my magic hobby. Even now, she knows that I do not have cable TV so she will record the magic shows on CD and pass them to me.

My cousin never become a magician, I did! Perhaps that $19 was a good investment.

My First Magic 4: My Library Books

2011-10-22T02:52:00.003+08:00

I continued learning magic tricks through whatever means I can. There wasn't any internet then.

I remembered that the National Library Board has a Book Suggestion scheme in which you can suggest a book that you want to borrow and they will try to get it. I did that. In secondary school, I did the same thing.

I was happy that by the time I was in upper primary, Jurong East Library has opened and they stocked a series of magic books, mostly by this author call James W Baker.

Despite not eating during my canteen break and saving up 20 cents pocket money, (I didn't want to spend as my parents has inculcated a habit of saving and I can see that earning money is not easy for them.) I didn't even want to spend the money to buy new magic props. The book was just right for me because it made use of everyday objects. In fact, I didn't even want to spend that money on photocopying the book, which I could have, instead, I copied WORD for WORD onto a book for those magic I like and made my own Magic Book.

I was and will always be grateful to James W Baker. In 2003, I credited him in after I published my original creations on a column call "One Man Parade" in the Linking Ring, a publication of the International Brotherhood of Magicians. And lo and behold, he emailed me.

Can you imagine a childhood hero emailing you? It was an incredible moment. We had a short chat over email and I promised that I will visit him hopefully at the next magic convention. That chance never came. He just passed away early this year.

In Feb 2006, his only and last "One Man Parade" was published. Deep inside, I was hoping that I inspired him to do so. He always is an important part of life.

My First Magic 3: The Magic Shop at Popular

2011-10-19T04:19:00.003+08:00

I never had my own magic set until very much later in my life. But whenever my parents, the tutors, went to Popular bookstore at Bras Basah to buy assessment books for their students, I will have a field trip in spending my half day at a magic shop inside the bookshop.

The owner is probably quite a famous magician in Singapore. (He later was a consultant on mediacorp TV for the gambling show.) He would demonstrate his magic whenever he has new customers but probably never to me. I was a regular face there but I never bought anything from him. I never had that much money to pay those expensive props. But I would still hang around to watch him as well as the TV that plays endlessly.

Of course, along the way. I tried to guess and figure out how certain magic was done.

One of them was the Svengali Deck. It is this cool magic where an audience choose a card and every single card will change to that chosen card. I couldn't afford that deck of super magical cards.

When I was a kid, my grandfather works in the cigarette company and had lots of free decks of cards that he will pass to me to do magic. I experimented and I come up with a TOTALLY different way a Svengali Deck might work. I guessed wrongly.

Thinking back, it worked fine, but it wasn't as good though. I recorded it down in one of my magic books here:

But I am happy that I am given a chance to think and fail, rather than served to me on a silver spoon.

My First Magic 2: My first show?

2011-10-16T02:45:00.004+08:00

One of the times when I was probably around 7-8 years old, I persuaded my mother to look for magic books for me at the library. Then, a visit to the Bukit Merah Library is like a weekly affair for my mum, sis and I.

My mum managed to find a magic book that is in Chinese! OH boy, I couldn't really read Chinese that well then and had to depend on my mum to read it to me. She chose one using a matchbox and I made it up. Here's how it looks like:

I performed it for my classmates. My classmates got excited and got the attention of my teacher. (If I didn't remember wrongly, her name was Mrs Chua. Mrs Chua was a funnily interesting teacher who believes in learning through repetition. She'd make us repeat a word about 10 times.) Mrs Chua got me in front of the class, and I performed the matchbox trick! She was stumped. She took the matchbox away from me. I couldn't protest. I am a kid, she is an adult and my form teacher. She pushed the matchbox in, push it the other way, wondering why so. Finally, she pulled on it and tada, she revealed the secret to the whole class.

I cannot remember what I was thinking then. But it is probably my first performance in front of such a big crowd.

My First Magic

2011-10-13T01:39:00.009+08:00

I didn't come from a well-to-do family, neither was I poor. My dad works in a Japanese company but my parents supplement the household income by teaching tuition at night. (They did this since I was probably a baby until I am in University. I told them to take a break as I was beginning to earn enough to give them some money. I stopped taking pocket money since Junior College, but that's another story!) So technically, I didn't have tuition at all, except from my parents!

So all my magic are pretty much self-taught, read, home-made. I didn't really buy much magic when I was young! Here are some of the items made of toothpaste boxes and matchboxes.

One of my first magic that I learnt, was from a calendar that teaches very simple magic. I can make a pen, wand, etc stick on my hand without glue, tape, etc (Learn it from the video below)!

Another one was how I can make a knot disappear. I tried it using the string of my bolster. I was a kid, I think these were magical!

I would perform my new magic for anyone who wants to see it...

Next: My first show in my class in Primary School

How did I start learning magic?

2011-10-11T05:27:00.006+08:00

I really started magic when I was a boy. I really started magic because of my father.

I come from a middle income family, in which neither of my parents were even remotely related to magic or any kind of performing arts. I don't have the luxury of having any magic items already provided for me as well.

My father merely used magic to amuse and play with me when he is back from work. One of the magic that I remembered is that he would pretend to throw a handkerchief into the air and I would look in that direction and when I turn back it's gone! When I was a kid then, it's truly real magic.

One of my favourites was how he showed a handkerchief and hands empty and then make an egg appear inside the folded handkerchief. You can tap on it, you can hear it, sounds like an egg. You can see the form under the handkerchief. But just when he pulled it away, it's gone! (See below!)

My dad never told me the secret! It kept me curious for many years. It was only a long while later that my aunt tried to perform it and my young cousin "broke the egg".

I am glad that my dad didn't expose the secret to me. I believed in magic and that made me want to learn magic on my own. My interest grew with the help from SBC (Singapore Broadcasting Corporation) then, which was showing David Copperfield specials on TV. I would tape them and watch them again and again!

I explored magic a lot on my own. I tried to think of ways how David Copperfield could do it. I made magic things out of cardboard. I use ordinary objects that I find around the house I am proud to say that I knew quite a bit of the master magician's secrets before I turned 12. (I even wrote a book on secrets of David Copperfield.)

I think parents nowadays tend to spoon feed children with information and knowledge. But a lot of times, kids are smart enough to explore and learn on their own. Give them questions, not answers. I think they will learn a lot this way.

Next: One of my first magic tricks

If you think you can, you can!

2011-10-09T02:08:00.001+08:00

In my students days, I was very inspired by this tagline: If you think you can, you can!

I think this has led me to do many things that I would think that would be impossible for me, like... becoming a magician!

A lot of people thinks that being a magician means resting at home from Monday to Friday and then suddenly we kick into action whenever there's a show!

Unfortunately, no! There's so much to do! From the rehearsal to practice, preparation to planning of routine, testing to improving them. I am created and invested lots of money (many in excess of thousands) on many routines, only to abandon the idea later because I didn't feel that good about it.

Even for my Birthday Magic Show, I am still improving it; thinking of new methods after doing that show for years,. (The work in progress now is a new visual way to make the sugar appear.) Nevertheless, it gives me great joy to create them even if I were to give it up later.

For example, the current Recycling is Fun act is an idea from year 2000. I bought different types of mini trash bins in America and Hong Kong (because I couldn't find any suitable ones in Singapore) to experiment when I had the idea, but only to make its debut in 2008. (More on the thought process of this routine next time!)

Mr Bottle doing the Recycling is Fun act

Of course, show business is business too! There's administrative work to be done. We have to do sales and marketing. We have to meet clients, just like any other business! The only difference I guess is that I don't really consider this work since I enjoy every part of it!

I just met a person, after I told him that I do magic, telling me, "Oh, so you don't work..." How do I answer that question?! Even my parents were telling me when I graduated from University to find a "real job" first.

Anyway, work or not, I know that my magic and business revolves around me 24/7.

I remember in my students days when I am not a magician yet, when my friends are doing holiday jobs, earning money for their favourite brands, I am at home thinking and practising my magic. I wrote down in my diary that I want to become a magician.

If you think you can, you can.

Nothing is Impossible!

2011-10-07T05:52:00.004+08:00

If "Nothing is Impossible", then how do we put to action?

I wanted kids to shows as much creativity as they can. I decided to create the nothing book! This is a project that I am pretty proud of because the whole branding just fits into place! Here's the front cover.

Here's the back cover design! In this case ("nothing is impossible"), pun intended! Some of you may already have it when you receive our goodies box at our parties!

What's in the nothing book? NOTHING!! In other words, children can really express their creativity. Something that even the adult may not be able to think of. But I felt, if I were to leave everything blank, perhaps it's too subtle. So I decided to give kids some help.

Inspired by the opening chapter of the story "The Little Prince" by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, I tried to create a story of my own.

The story changed a many times before it was finalised. The final version was part of a joke that I heard when I was a child: about someone handing in a blank piece of paper. Well, it's funny and meaningful. So why not!

Here's the story:

In the next few pages, I put in few samples like what could be done so kids will not be limited to just drawing on them! (When I was a kids, I drew a lot of comics, wrote a poetry book, story books, magic books, etc. I will show you if you are interested! I threw quite a bit away though.).

Do you know that there's a few "secrets" in the notebook? You can actually use these secrets to perform magic! Look for them if you have a copy!

Whether you are a kid or adult, sometimes, don't we get crazy ideas and dream of outrageous things? Record them in your very own "nothing" book and years down the road, you will enjoy flipping through.

If you need a Nothing Book from me, just follow me on my blog, drop me a comment, and I will send you a copy free of charge*! (I am just too confident that nobody bothers to read my blog in details. hahaha)

Story of Mr Bottle

2011-10-04T13:15:00.007+08:00

Do you know about Mr Bottle's story? This story actually reflects a lot on the philosophy of our company and Mr Bottle. Here's the story:

Once upon a time, there was a very shy child. So shy that he did not dare to talk to anyone in school.
One day, his father bought a bottle of magic for him. "In it, is a potion that will make you grow brave and strong."
Every morning, he would open the bottle for some magic. Day by day, he begin to make more friends.
One day, he saw his good friend cornered by Billy, the big bully. Believing he chased Billy away.
Many years later, he discovered that the bottle was actually an empty bottle. Believing in the magic has changed his life.
This child is none other than Mr Bottle the Magician, who believes that nothing is impossible.

Throughout the years of performing, I have learnt a lot from kids. I love chatting with kids with boundless imagination. For instance, some think that they can be as powerful as certain superheros!

However, there are of course times, children come up to tell me that "there's no such thing as magic." Now, think, if we believe that there's magic, then we can think beyond what we already know, do things that we ordinarily may not be able to achieve. If we think that "Nothing is Impossible", we can accomplish much more! I don't think Leonardo da Vinci would have invented his flying machine if he thought that humans couldn't possibly fly.

A lot of times, we are limited by what we know. If you think that we cannot fly, then obviously you cannot fly isn't it? David Copperfield didn't think so! He flew! (I am not asking anyone to jump off a cliff and imagining that he can fly!)

When I create my magic, I don't think about what I know first. I think about the effects first, what it will look like, then think of ways to create it. Along the way, I am happy to say I have created new methodologies that have surprised many magicians.

Maybe give your children a chance to try, even if it's impossible. If they fail, what's the worse that can happen? They can learn from their mistakes.

Perhaps it's not so bad to tell your kids that Santa Claus is real and reindeer can fly.

Next: Nothing is Impossible!

It's been a long time!

2011-10-03T12:50:00.003+08:00

It's been a long time since we posted anything! We have been really busy. Personally, I have been thinking what will be interesting for our readers?

We are busy with preparing of launches of several projects! I think we are overly ambitious in trying so many things at once, but we are so excited with all the ideas. You will see more of these once we launch them!

Of course, at least one of the projects has to do with kids party! We have been incubating this concept for way too long (more than 1.5 years to be exact) and I guess it's time to execute it!

In the meantime, stay tuned to this website for more information!

Family Day Inspirations: Go Green with Family!

2011-07-20T12:01:00.010+08:00

The move to go green and reduce our material and resource usage or wastage is really important for our sustainability and for the future generations. Here at Mr Bottle's Kids Party, we constantly make sure we use the lights in the office only when we really need them, and we have a recycle box for used paper, flyers and envelopes we get in the mail. So it is really exciting when a company wants to do a Green-themed Family Day!

NYK Shipmanagement's Family Day had Mr Bottle and friends gathering at 7am on a Saturday at West Coast Park to begin the preparation for the event starting at 9.30am. We had booked the Grand Lawn at West Coast Park for the event, catering to 300 people. There was a lot more space available for the public to use, and the entire space probably could easily fit up to 1.5k people. We understand that you could book various spaces around the park for holding your activities.

For the event, we had a banner and EDM customized for NYK Shipmanagment's publicity purposes, and the banner doubled up as a backdrop for the stage area - a really good way to reuse resources.

A Family Day cannot be without bonding activities for the family to take part in together, and also for colleagues to learn more about each other. Mr Bottle specially planned a telematch. 5 teams of 20 people, 3 relay games, and 30 full minutes of FUN! Of course, the games were customized to fit the Green theme. "Water is Precious", "Toxic River" and "Global Warming".

The games challenged the teams to invent creative methods in order to fit the rules of the game. There were some very brilliant ideas, which also produced much laughter from everyone.

Besides the telematch, there was time for breakfast, and lunch, and also some Mr Bottle's Popcorn and Candy Floss for snacking in between.

Other popular activities that were specially catered for the children at the Family Day included a Pirate Themed Bouncy Castle, and our special carnival games Shooting, Basketball and Racing Car. Many children walked away with a whole packet of exclusive Mr Bottle's Kids Party souvenirs.

What's an event organized by Mr Bottle's Kids Party if there aren't any original Mr Bottle's Kids Party productions. There was Walk-around Magic by Mr Bottle, Science Show by Professor Messy, Balloons by N2 Balloonist and The Resonance Man!

All in all, the event was a big success for us as it was clear that everyone really enjoyed themselves thoroughly. There was a strong sense of camaraderie between the staff of NYK Shipmanagment during the telematch as well as the stage games. We hope you all had a real good time.

For more information on how you could have a special family day planned by Mr Bottle's Kids Party, send us an email at info@kidsparty.com.sg, or call 6515 5921. Hope to hear from you soon!

New Creation: Little Chicken!

2011-07-12T11:44:00.006+08:00

Mr Bottle recently attended a store opening at Kallang Leisure Park for Diamond Wang Lao Wu's Chicken Rice. Besides performing magic, he also made a few balloon sculptures to liven up the place. One, a super cute chicken sculpture and the other a lovely bouquet of balloon flowers.

Aren't these creations just lovely? If you would like to have your one of a kind creations tailored to your needs, just drop us an email or call and let us know!

Party Inspirations: "Fit for the Future"

2011-07-04T16:21:00.006+08:00

Mr Bottle had the honour of organizing Bloomberg's Bring Your Kids to Work Day 2011 to the theme of "FIT FOR THE FUTURE"!!! (insert epic music.) Yes indeed, the 50 children we hosted at Bloomberg certainly proved that they were fit for the future - just carry on reading for the highlights of the day.

What's a party without tons and tons of balloons to dress up the venue? For this "Fit for the Future" theme, we specially picked black and silver balloons as part of the venue decorations. 2 silver arches were made to welcome the children to their parents' office - one placed at the front desk, and the other at the entrance of the function room.

Not only did the balloons serve to transform the function room into a children's party haven, the children also showed their creativity through inventing a new game involving the balloons - who can collect the most balloons. Balloon decorations are always a sure winner at any event. Children who were early were entertained by the facepainting and balloon sculpturing stations. See the delightful creations below:

How can a "Fit For the Future" themed party go without testing the fitness abilities of the children - that's exactly what Mr Bottle did! Through carnival games like Basketball and Ring Toss, as well as original interactive games with an exercise theme, the fitness skills of the children were tested. Many of the children walked away with prizes customized to Bloomberg's request, proving that they were fit for the future.

No Mr Bottle's party is complete without a performance of our original productions. Professor Messy thoroughly entertained the children with his Science Show, teaching them the wonders that can be produced through understanding some simple scientific principles. At the end of the day, Mr Bottle closed the party with a sampling of magic from his bag of tricks, captivating all children and adults who were present.

You can also see the balloon arch in the background of the photo above.

Less scientifically and athletically inclined children could also show off their skills through the Mr Bottle's colouring activity sheets provided, as well as the Bloomberg Art Competition which we provided for as well. Here are some of the masterpieces created.

Mr Bottle tailored made this event specially to the needs of the Bloomberg team and we could do the same for your company, or your child's birthday party too! We customized the treasure hunt portion of the day as well as scheduled a segment for the Bloomberg team to do their thing. At the end of the day, all the kids went home with the prizes won at the games as well as our Mr Bottle's goodie boxes! Just let us know what you'd like to include in your party and you could host an original Mr Bottle's party too!

A Princess Dream, A Birthday Girl's Reality

2011-06-28T16:41:00.012+08:00

The sweetest dream of every little girl - to be a princess. The dream became a reality for a little girl who turned 5 on the 5th of June. The love that Kelly's parents had for her was really really clearly shown through the effort they put in to give Kelly the most wonderful Princess party she could have. That made us want to make the experience perfect for Kelly as well.

Everything was pink and perfectly Princessy for the girl who loved all the Disney princesses. Everything from the invitations, to entrance and decoration of the (ball)room, to cutlery and decoration of Royal Table, the personalized banner for Kelly's birthday backdrop, the souvenir for Kelly to bring back as a memento of the day, as well as the cake and the door gifts for the adults and children.

Pink and White balloons formed the archway under which guests entered. Similar balloons formed lovely clusters around the room and two columns marked the "stage" area for the day.

The backdrop of the stage area was completely by the personalized birthday banner designed by us.

What's a princess ball without the royal table prepared for the guests? For the royal table, we got kid-sized furniture for comfort of the the little princesses and princes. The plates, cups, napkins and cutlery were all Disney Princesses merchandise. A finishing touch to complete the Princess theme.

The host for the day was Snow White, she conducted an interactive story telling session as well as played interactive games with the princesses and princes who came that day. Here's Snow White with the pretty birthday Princess.

Besides the games and story telling, the princesses and princes got the opportunity to have their caricature drawn, and their face and hand painted by our very own Twinkle Artist. A very nice souvenir to bring home, besides the personalized goodie bags prepared by the parents of the birthday Princess.

Mr Bottle also premiered our lovely addition to any buffet spread, flower shaped candy floss! Available in many colours, it was a big hit with many of the kids as well as the adults! This creation is a Mr Bottle original.

Lastly, our birthday Princess got to bring home more than just her presents. Mr Bottle also gave her a meaningful and fun guest"book" as a memento of the day. This simple handprinting activity gave all the kids an opportunity to leave their mark, an "I was here", for the birthday Princess to remember the good times with her friends.

Once again, Happy Birthday to our dear birthday Princess Kelly. We hope that this post has given you some inspiration for the next princess party you want to throw for your princess. Also, hop on by to our Facebook page: www.facebook.com/mrbottleskidsparty, for more party inspirations.

Also, feel free to email us at info@kidsparty.com.sg, or call us at 6515 5921 for enquiries on how we can throw this sort of parties for your princesses or princes.

The June Rush

2011-06-28T15:54:00.002+08:00

Phew! The month of June is almost over! It's been a busy month for us, as it has been for many parents whose children were on school holiday. Now that school has started and things are winding down a little for us over here at Mr Bottle's, it's time to take stock on the many things that have happened in June.

As mentioned in our little short posts, we organized a Princess themed party, had our new goodie boxes come in. We also organized a Hawaiian themed Bishan East Zone 3 RC Block Party, a Fit for the Future themed Bring Your Kids to Work day for Bloomberg, and a Go Green themed Family Day event for NYK Shipmanagement. Just this weekend, we conducted 3 craft workshops for Khoo Teck Puat Hospital's Open House Family Day. All these on top of our usual shows like Mr Bottle's Birthday Magic, Adventure Magic Show by Marco, Professor Messy's Science Show, Facepainting by Twinkle Artists and Balloon Sculpturing by N2. We also had a new addition to the suite of entertainment shows that you can choose from Mr Bottle's: Airbrush Tattooing!

Now, stay tuned to this blog, because all that's left for June is to update you guys with how we did each of these shows! You may gain some inspiration for your own party in the future :)

Testimonial for Mr Bottle

2011-04-07T10:40:00.002+08:00

I organised a corporate event on behalf of RealStar Premier Property as part of their corporate social responsibility programme. The event was to benefit the children of the Make A Wish Foundation. I hired the amazing "Mr Bottle" as part of the morning proceedings to entertain the children and keep them occupied prior to the private screening of a Harry Potter movie. No easy task with more than 200 people in attendance and more than 100 very excited children. Mr Bottle was fantastic. He was even better than some of the special effects in the Harry Potter movie! He was a real pleasure to work with. Mr Bottle was very funny and the entertainment he provided proved to be highlight of a wonderful and special day for the children.

I highly recommend "Mr Bottle" as a fun addition for any children’s party or themed event. Great stuff!

Compliments for Mr Bottle and N2

2011-04-03T00:32:00.000+08:00

I would like to congratulate the team who helped to "conjure" the party to great success. I have got comments from friends who told me that it was the best party which they have attended. The balloon artist had stayed back beyond his 1 hr duration to make sure all requests were entertained. Mr Bottle warms up and mingle with the crowd before his magic show with little tricks and jokes. Both of them had showed great professionlism and passion as well as genuine interest in their audience. Definitely a great experience! Yours Sincerely, Mrs Tay

Mr Bottle has a new costume

2011-04-01T14:46:00.003+08:00

Base on various feedback from our clients, we have designed a new suit for Mr Bottle. Let us know if you have any comments!

Compliments for Mr Bottle and Hello!

2011-04-01T11:09:00.000+08:00

The children enjoyed the show. The parents liked the show too and all of them were glad that the entertainers was speaking proper English. The parents also appreciated much that the balloonist was very patience and not calculative on the timing and number of kids lining up for the balloon sculpture.

Regards,
Vicki

When going to a nature reserve and the beach...

2011-03-29T12:33:00.002+08:00

... Don't take anything except for pictures, don't leave anything behind except for footprints.

A fun family activity!

2011-03-27T07:10:00.001+08:00

I was at Pasir Ris Park a few day ago on a rainy day and guess what I found? Some of nature's treasures:

Can you spot the crab on the mudhill? You can have lots of fun trying to spot these shy creatures! If you are lucky, you may even see the mud lobsters, which are the creators of these 'mudhills'.

I was wondering why this tree has lots of dead leaves hanging from its branches... Then I spotted the parents! These are actually cocoons!

Can you see the daddy moth? (Do you know how to tell the difference between a moth and a butterfly?) Mummy's just behind him.

I am so lucky so see a rainbow! Do you know how rainbows are formed?

Along the way, I also spotted many many earthworms! Why are they out of their burrows when it rain?

Families can so much fun going on these cool outings with your kids. These definitely cannot be replaced by the books or television. (and asking your kids these questions. You can find the answers very easily on the internet. Let me know if you cannot find the answers.).

Be very observant about the surroundings and you can spot many nature's wonders. It's important to protect this fragile eco system, before it disappears!

Earth Hour

2011-03-25T07:40:00.000+08:00

What Earth hour is all about:

It happens tomorrow, 26 March 2011, at 8:30pm. Switch off your lights for an hour to experience it.

Of course, an hour is just the start! Look around the house and see there's any electric appliance that you can switch off to save energy whenever you don't need them. Mother Earth needs your help and it can start with you.

Kids can learn to be green!

2011-03-23T22:38:00.000+08:00

Starting from young to save the Earth! Earthquake in Japan infects the whole world with Tsunami warnings...time for everyone to pitch their efforts towards saving our Mother Earth.

You can start them of at http://www.kidsforsavingearth.org/

A fun planting activity (and it's green too!)

2011-03-21T11:07:00.002+08:00

Planting can be very fruitful (sorry for the pun) and educational activity for the family. The type of fruits/plant depends on the space that you have. Some suggestions of plants that you can grow are (and in order of space needed):

Chilli
Lime
Mango

Chilli plants grow into small to medium sized bushes from half a metre to two metres tall. How big they get depends on the species and variety. My grandma used to have one that's like 1 foot tall of chilli padi variety that she grew in a pot.

Chilli likes the warm environment and don't mind humidity so it's great in Singapore!

There's lots of different kind of seeds that you can purchase from flower shops to grow on your own! Check them out and send in your photos of your latest green project to us!

What have we done to be green

2011-03-19T01:58:00.003+08:00

We try to reduce waste at our parties as well! For instance, the balloons we use are biodegradable. Paper products used in the show, that are to be thrown away, are put in the recycling bin instead.

We feel that teaching our kids to be green, we are also teaching them responsibility. We hope every mum and dad inculcate that green movement into our next generation!

How to be Green party guests

2011-03-16T22:49:00.004+08:00

You can be green when attending birthday parties too. Here's some suggestions:

RSVP. This helps the host know how many guests are coming and book food enough for their guests
Ask the host if there's anything that they need, instead of buying items that they may not need.
Minimise wrapping or even go without the wrapping! You can also use old magazine papers to wrap and it can turn out to be very artistic!
Use only 1 set of utensils during the party if disposable are used. You can label your cup. Use either the spoon or fork for the food. Do you really need the straw?
Throw the invites into the recycling bins, which can be found in almost every estate.

Have a great party!

How to be Green during parties

2011-03-09T11:48:00.003+08:00

You can be green when you organise a party. Here are some ideas:

Recycling birthday banners (Don't buy those with age listed).
Use recyclable decorations the foil balloons.
Don't use disposable utensils.
If you use disposables, write your names on utensils so you don't take multiples ones.
Use e-invites (Good news, we are developing e-invites exclusively for our clients to use)
Give useful items like stationary in your goodies bags, instead of things like noise makers.
Order just enough food by getting RSVPs, to reduce food wastage.

Let us know if you any other ideas!

Learning about Protecting the Environment through Magic

2011-03-07T06:38:00.003+08:00

Mr Bottle has created an act in which is featured in his Imagine Magic Show.

He turns paper into a new newspaper to show that you can recycle paper.
Child tries his best to throw paper into recycling bin. Mr Bottle wants to tell everyone that you must make an effort to recycle things.
Paper that kids drop into the recycling bin turns to money. This is to show that if you recycle, you not only save the environment, it helps save money as well!
The recycling bin eventually becomes full of money.

The people at NEA love it!

We are developing the whole show to spread the word! Email us if you are interested to book this show!

Robot Making Workshop

2011-03-05T06:00:00.006+08:00

This is a great activities for family and kids:

Objective: To creatively turn recycled materials into useful items/art piece
Materials Needed: Old Chopsticks, Rough Paper, Egg cartons,Scissors, White glue, Plastic grocery bag, old Cardboard boxes, and anything that you can collect to recycle.

Start the activity by asking the kids to collect items that the family are about to throw away. Collect items that you and the kids think will be useful in making robots. Use phrases like "Does this look like a robot's hand? What can we do with this box?" You can suggest ideas like, "perhaps you can use this box to be the secret compartment where your robot hides his special suction gun."

Once you have enough of the items, try to piece them together using glue! Encourage your child to be creative. Paint the robot to the colour that you want! That's it!

Personally, it's the process of collecting the items that is fun and meaningful for the kids. Enjoy!

March Holiday Programme

2011-03-04T16:21:00.003+08:00

Since it's almost March Holidays, there's lots of activities around Singapore for our kids! Here's one free programme that is really interesting!

Earth Day is coming

2011-03-03T17:15:00.006+08:00

"We do not inherit the Earth from our Ancestors, we borrow it from our Children."

Coming this 26 March, it will be Earth Day. In the next few weeks, we will show how you and your kids can help do your little part to help mother nature.

One of our founders, Kien, has created a culture in the office to save paper as well as reducing waste.

We don't print our emails unless necessary

We started payment via credit cards to reduce envelopes and cheque.
We print our documents on rough paper if we do not need formal ones.
We have a recycling box in the office for paper. (Unfortunately our building doesn't have recycling bin yet so every other month, Kien will bring the box to the nearest recycling point for recycling. We tried to talk to the management to provide one, unfortunately they say no vendors wanted to collect them!)
We switch off the lights when we go for lunch!
Kien usually cycles or take public transport to work

You can do your part too for the environment; every little step can make a difference to the world.

Just a little background on Kien in his enviromental pursues; he was the Chairperson of NUSSU SAVE (Students Against Violation of the Earth) in his university years and organised activities such as the breaking the Guinness World Record of making the Biggest Sheet of Recycled Paper. He was also in the founding committee of Youth Environment Network. He also represented Singapore in several youths seminars and conferences about the environment.

Until next time....

Compliments for Mr Bottle and Hello!

2011-02-25T03:17:00.000+08:00

Dear Mr Bottle,

Thank you for making my girl's 7th birthday party a great success. The kids had a rolling good time. I was surprised that the sister of my girl's friend who is always very shy became the first one to volunteer to help in your magic act. The adults enjoyed themselves as much as the kids. Many of the parents present commented after the party that "the magician is good!".

My girl hugged me before she went to bed that night and thanked me for the wonderful party I planned. She was telling me how much fun she had during magic time. Thank you for giving her the due attention. She also enjoyed the games by your games master who is very good with the kids and she managed to get almost all the kids to participate in the games. There was so much laughter!

Thank you once again for helping me make my girl's 7th birthday party a very memorable one.

Best regards
Mrs Amy Ong

Compliments!

2011-02-23T00:57:00.000+08:00

The balloonist was great. Comments from other guests who are knowledgeable about Singapore kids parties said it was the best balloonist they have ever seen. he was patient, wonderful with kids, and very talented making items at the kids requests. I would definitely recommend and work with your firm again.

thank you,

Brittany levinson

2011-02-08T02:39:00.000+08:00

Many thanks for making Charisse's birthday parties this year entertaining and memorable for us and for our guests. We've had you and your team join us at Charisse's parties the last 3 years and you have never failed to deliver in respect of providing excellent and unforgettable entertainment to us all.

This year, we are particularly thrilled to have you (aka Mr. Bottle) wow us (adults and kids alike) with the close-up magic, with such spontaneity and humour. I have received countless praises and compliments about Mr. Bottle!

The kids are also absolutely amazed and delighted by the fabulous and impressive balloon creations by the balloon artiste (some of the creations are just out of this world!), and the beautiful works of art by the face painter and caricaturist. You certainly have a great team!

Some points which you may wish to consider are: For the works of the face painter, you may want to consider having polaroid photos taken of the kids and given to them after they have had their faces painted. (Mr Bottle's: Good idea! Perhaps we will start with digital photos and we will email to clients. If the response is good, we can definitely do the add on!)

For the works of the caricaturist, the drawings can be a bit smaller and perhaps put in a simple frame. (Mr Bottle's: Good idea too! I think we will think about looking into finding paper frames! Anyone has any sources?)

In any event, these do not take away anything from the great entertainment that the Mr. Bottle team has brought to the parties. Once again, a big thank you for making the parties this year a success - the Mr. Bottle team has certainly been integral! Charisse would also like to say: "Thank you Uncle Bottle for coming to my parties!" So, we'll see you next year then?

Charisse certainly can't wait to have you all at her party/parties next year...

Kind regards,Celeste.

2011-02-06T01:05:00.003+08:00

Dear "Mr Bottle":

I cannot say enough good things about the show yesterday! The childrens' laughter said it all! Tristan had a great time and I think he laughed the loudest. The other parents present commented on how fantastic the balloon artist was (we had never seen such wonderfully made fairies and dinosaurs) and on how entertaining the magician was. All in all, everything went very well and I will not hesitate to recommend your services to friends.

Sincerely,
Sharon McQuain

Compliments for Mr Bottle!

2011-02-04T01:37:00.000+08:00

Thank you for being here with the children on our Year-End Thanksgiving. Other responsibilities have overwhelmed me lately, but I don’t think its too late to give you a feedback.

Although we did not start on time (no fault of yours), the children were excited about their special program. They shared with their peers who were not at the event about Mr. Bottle. I must say that you managed them very well with your magic and balloon sculpturing. You are very professional as Mr. Bottle. I am sure there will be other opportunities for us to work together again.

Thank you once again, and God bless
Pauline

Compliments for Prof Messy and friends

I would like to thank you for the very professional performance by "professor messy" and the very well organized science workshop!

I have to admit I thought the show is very expensive - but the delivery was of very high standards! I also appreciated the fact the performers arrived well in advance to make sure the set up is done on time.

Your teams were very friendly, and made sure the kids had a lot of fun!

I would definitely recommend you to my friends!!!

With warmest regards,

Adi
