Story of Mr Bottle

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!

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!

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.

New Creation: Little Chicken!

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"

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!
