Testimonials
Some lovely words from people over the years:
Lisa Cousins
Activities coordinator
The King’s School, Canterbury
We have been fortunate to work with Paul for the past two years and he has run many successful workshops with students of all ages (13-18). He is an articulate communicator and I have always been impressed by his professionalism.
Each time he comes to school there is a real buzz about the place.
It goes without saying that Paul is an amazing performer, but what is incredible is the way that he is able to encourage beginners to gain their confidence and also inspire the more advanced to push their skills and try new tricks. He has even weaved some maths into his juggling demonstrations, explaining sequences and patterns!

Sevenoaks Prep School
It was the finale to a themed week at school and we could not have wished for a more accommodating, professional, entertaining and appropriate person to interact with the entire age range of children from 3 to 13.
There was a range of skills that were initially displayed and then taught to the children. These included juggling, diabolo and plate spinning.
On the following day, Kinetic Circus put on some fun and highly skilled shows at our Parents’ Summer Fair which were enjoyed by children and adults alike.
If you are looking for a fun, active, informative and stimulating experience then you couldn’t do much better than hire Paul.

Head of Faculty
Barton Court Grammar School
Over the last two years the P.E. Department has enlisted Paul from Kinetic Circus help to run a circus skills workshop in school as part of our Year 7 Arts ‘Focus Day’.
During the day all our Year 7 students are off timetable and engaged in learning about the circus through a series of physical and artistic workshops.
He is 100% reliable and takes the effort and time to work closely with staff in order to deliver a unique and appropriate workshop tailored to meet the needs and requirements of the pupils in our school.
His rapport with the students is excellent, putting them at their ease whilst challenging each of them and his relationship with staff is very professional. We’ve had some excellent days with Paul and the pupils love him!
I have no hesitation in recommending Kinetic Circus to you.
Sue Scobie Assistant
Assistant Head teacher
Laleham Gap School
For the last 10 years Paul of Kinetic Circus has had a close working relationship with Laleham Gap School, Margate. The school originally was for pupils who had speech language/communication difficulties.
Paul has shown great compassion, patience and formed excellent relationships with both pupils and staff over the years he has been associated with us.
To come into a special school and build a relationship quickly is very difficult but Paul’s unique style, sense of fun, honesty and commitment enabled this to happen.
Over the last 5 years our pupils needs have changed and most pupils are now on the Autistic Spectrum. This brings other issues into play as our pupils are very anxious around strangers and new situations but yet again Paul took this on board and changed his approach to meet their needs.
Paul has a natural rapport with young people, he accepts them as they are and treats them with respect and they in turn like and respect him. Paul really is a very good role model to young people.
As a performer Paul is second to none – a highlight in our school calendar has always been Paul and the team coming not only to lead workshops but put on displays for pupils, family, staff and other visitors. It’s not just the obvious talents he has but his showmanship, excellent communication skills and magnetic personality which enamour him to his audiences.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Paul to you and would not hesitate in employing him at Laleham Gap School in the future.

Laleham Gap School
We have annually used Paul of Kinetic Circus Workshops for our ‘Circus Day’ and Open/Sports Day Circus display. Paul has never failed to impress the staff, students and guests with his physical circus skills and huge personality.
Every year he is challenged to get a diabolo on to a high telephone wire; every year he succeeds.
Paul is a person who relates very well to both adults and students. As a special school, this is one of Paul’s major strengths as he really encourages our students to join in with a range of ‘circus’ activities. He is infectiously encouraging and exceptionally skilful at creating such a positive atmosphere that everybody just wants to try and join in. Even I can now spin a plate!
Many of our students have gone on to buy their own circus equipment and continue to practice their skills long after Paul has left. Several have demonstrated these skills to him when he has returned the following year! As a school we continue to book him annually.

AMAZING and AWESOME!!
We booked Kinetic Circus for our two daughter’s joint birthday party, one aged 7 and one aged 9. Paul was absolutely superb at captivating his audience. Our 10 year old son said “Paul was very funny and made everyone say WOW’.
The girls simply said “best party ever” and “I have never seen anyone balance a table on their chin before”. We can’t thank you enough Paul, such a great experience.

Paul you really are INCREDIBLE. I’ve never met such a humble and kind entertainer. You were absolutely fabulous. My daughter had an amazing birthday and asked to have a circus party next year too! Says it all really.
You went out of your way to provide A Class service and I couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you so, so much!
Katy Stevens-Smith
Thank you so much, Paul! Our son had the best 6th birthday today thanks to your impressive circus show and workshop. He and all his friends (and the parents) loved watching and joining in with the boxes full of equipment.
We have some open-mouthed pictures of the children and adults watching your don’t-try-this-at-home tricks. You really knew how to entertain all ages from our 2yo to the grandparents in the room. We appreciated how you took the time to help people individually during the workshop, and show some bonus magic tricks to the birthday boy. When the time comes we won’t think twice about booking you again.

Paul performed close up magic, diabolo and a fire show at my wedding five years ago and my guests still talk about it.
He was friendly and charming to our guests of all ages. Basically if you want a wizard at your wedding hire Paul Incredible!

I can say without a doubt that having Paul Incredible and the Kinetic Circus at my wedding was the 2nd best decision I made… the first was asking my husband to marry me!
Neil Massey

Paul was a great asset to our wedding day, as he did not just entertain the kids but every age group with his unique tricks
He was able to adapt and work around our day and always had a great sense of humour with him!
