We always bring music for the mainstage act on CD. If you would like us to bring music for the ambient sets, please request this.
Due to the physical nature of acrobatics, it is very difficult to fill longer than 15- 20 minutes. We suggest you have a break in the performance before he/she goes out again or book more than 1 performer so that your entire reception time is filled.
Usually up to 3 times. This can be a combination of the mainstage act and ambient sets if that’s what you’re after.
No, the podium is too heavy for flying. We bring a static podium instead which packs down for transporting.
For more information please speak to one of our staff & request a technical specifications document.

For shorter contracts – 5 days or less, the total baggage is 108kgs not including the cover/curtain. We can reduce this if the client supplies the podium that we perform on inside the snowglobe. Total baggage can be reduced to 2 X 30kg bags I.E 60kgs.

We recommend no longer than 8 hours.
We have a very quick get out. If 2 stage hands assist this process we can pack down and transport it out of the performance area within 3 minutes. This is dependent however on how far away the exit is!
We have 2 snowglobes. One is 3m90, the other is 4m10. Please request the smaller snowglobe if you are restricted with height.
The base is 2.7meters diameter but we request slightly more space than this eg: 4meters, especially when the cover is being used.
We supply certain lighting inside the globe but advise exterior lighting also. Blues or pinks/ reds work very well. White light is not advisable.
No, the glitter only runs when the performers are inside the globe.
We have a tasteful red curtain/cover that conceals the globe when not in use, before and after shows. It also conceals the performers getting in and out of the globe. We request 2 stage hands to take this off and put it back on after a performance. We teach these assistants how to do this in the technical rehearsal. Please watch the end of our video showreel to view how this is done.
Yes. Once it’s all inflated and ready to go, we can deflate until the performance time. It then takes approximately 3 minutes for the globe to inflate. The snowglobe looks quite tasteful and intriguing when inflated and concealed by the red cover however. Please consider this option of the fully inflated and covered globe first as this is the best alternative.
Yes but we prefer not to move it too far due to there being a lot of equipment inside the globe. It may only be moved on the same level. It cannot be moved up or down stairs once set up.
