“The Count and Countess performed two magic shows, hosted a disco party, magic workshop, kid’s tea walkaround,
teen close-up session and quiz.

All events were very well received and well attended, seeing a good little gathering of followers.

Lovely to have the Count and Countess back onboard, very self-sufficient and some great feedback.”

You did a fantastic job - everyone commented on how brilliant the disco was (so much dancing all night, perfect) but also the smaller details you did eg MC / sound effects, etc.

We feel so grateful to have you be part of our special day.”

”Dave, Megan, myself and all of our guests would love to thank you so much for last night’s entertainment.

Lots of the guests commented on how good you were and you certainly proved you are never too old to enjoy magic!

Not only were you entertaining, you helped raise much money too. We hoped to raise £600-800, we were astounded to raise £1170 , the auction was incredible and you setting the mood was a huge part of that.

Thanks so much from us all.”

Sgt Del Farr R SIGNALS Blandford Camp, Dorset

”I would just like to pass on our thanks for your hard work in entertaining it looked like 1000’s of children at times.

I had spoken to you both on occasions throughout the evening and the standard of your service was exemplary.

I had a large number of personnel thanking me for the evening but I had very little to play in the success. The parents having some downtime while their children were being entertained by yourselves was the main ingredient to the success of the evening.

I have been told was the busiest and the best atmosphere at a families evening for a very long time.”

”I just wanted to say a big thank you. The children’s disco was a total success and we had a fantastic time.

From the bubbles and foam, to the dancing and party games, there was something for everyone (including the adults!).

You have a talent for recognising the personalities and needs of the children and bringing out the confidence in even the most timid of children, making it a very interactive and enjoyable party for all.”

Anna Goddard
Entertainment Planning Manager – P&O Cruises

Count Backwards has performed three different magic shows on board our ships, all of which were very popular with the children and families alike.

All the shows were entertaining, were of a high professional standard and the children were encouraged to take part.

Count Backwards were very keen to get involved with all aspects of the youth programme, being involved in the Welcome Onboard Party on the first day and even hosting a quiz with the 5-8’s on the last evening. I look forward to their return on Ventura.”
