He has appeared at many shopping centres across the UK, such as, The Buttermarket in Ipswich, The Martletts in Burgess Hill, The Maltings in St Albans, The Howard Centre in Welwyn Garden City, The Swan Centre in Leatherhead, The Chantry Centre in Andover, and ,four years running, Palmers Green Funday.

Supporting many charities by entertaining for organisations such as, Childline, Barnardos, Salvation Army, Pimlico Puffins, Unity Church, and especially enjoying entertaining senior citizens at over 80 residential and retirement homes around London and the South East of England.

Magic Moments originally was the creative work of husband and wife team, Charlie Valentino & Tracey Van GramberG. Although Tracey has had to temporarily retire from entertaining as she is currently awaiting the arrival of two new young 'entertainers'.

Charlie got the magic 'bug' as a young child after borrowing a book on card tricks from his local library.

While studying, a part-time job with a local restaurant led to the chance for Charlie to work for a year as assistant to clown Ronald McDonald. This, combined with his great admiration for the late, great, Tommy Cooper, would go on to have a major influence on his own act. Charlie also entertains as a close-up magician.

Tracey, who had studied child-development at school, has always loved working with children. Before meeting Charlie, her past work has involved many playgroups and crèches.

Back in 2000 they introduced an additional digital photography service for private children's parties, supplying the child's parents with a camera to take as many pictures as they wish during their party.

This service has now come to an end but the best pictures from past parties are now available (displayed anonymously with the consent of the children's parents) to view in our PARTYCAM GALLERY .

New for 2002 With the departure of his assistant, Charlie has filled his show with even more zany magic and mayhem as well as improving his PA sound system. His latest addition to his show is 'The Magic Carpet Illlusion'. Watch him levitate the birthday child two feet off the ground in front of their friends on a small magic carpet with no possible means of support.
