Mirabelle Artists · Nairobi
Magic, in the land where it lives.
Illusion. Magic. Hypnosis. A house born in Nairobi, reaching across Africa.
The Chinese Hypnotist
One night of comedy hypnosis. You are the show.
The comedy hypnotist whose sold-out shows have toured the world — and been featured on CCTV, the world’s largest broadcaster — brings his global tour to Nairobi for one night. The volunteers become the cast; the room can’t stop laughing.
- Venue
- Kenya National Theatre
- Date
- Tue 22 September 2026 · 19:00 – 20:30
Featured on CCTV, the world’s largest broadcaster, and a headline act on theatre stages across the globe. Now, for one night, in Nairobi.
Begin with Mila.
Mila — Magic In the Land of Africa. A word kept the way a family keeps a story: told at the table, never painted on the door.
Mirabelle is the name Mila takes when she signs a contract.
The land stays inside the work. Not printed on the fabric — sewn into the cut. You will not be shown Africa; you will hear it in the patience of the pacing, in how long a silence is allowed to stand before the turn.
The founding house — and the circle it gathers.
Three founders in Nairobi, booked alone or sequenced into a single evening — and a growing roster of Africa's finest, represented under one name.
Muoka
The room dims a half-step when he enters; nobody touches the lights.
Chell
She holds the ten o’clock assembly and the seven o’clock gala in the same unhurried hands.
Claire
Her volunteers become the cast. She conducts.
Magic in the land where it lives.
Beyond Nairobi — artists from across Africa, represented and programmed under one name.
Caleb
A deck, a borrowed hand, and a turn nobody can place.
Sadiq
The fez, the wand, and a room of five-year-olds who never forget him.
Shama
A magician who travels with tumblers — the trick lands, and then the room is full of somersaults.
Screbick
The ‘magician’s magician’ — the coin is gone before the blink finishes.
The work resists the word amazing. It asks instead for silence, then a slow exhale.
Three disciplines. One evening.
Close-up among the cocktails. A parlour set when the plates are cleared. Hypnosis to finish, the audience now the cast. One bill, sequenced like a score.
For the smaller guests.
Magic is the centrepiece. Around it, the rest of the afternoon — clowns and face paint, balloons and acrobats, stilt walkers, and a castle to bounce the sugar off. Booked alongside any show, or on their own, and held to the same standard as the stage.
Clowns
Juggling, mischief, and not one frightened child.
Mascots
The characters they already love — walkabout, and always with a handler.
Face Painting
Lions, butterflies, and one small superhero per table.
Balloon Artistry
Arches, garlands, and a creature for every child.
Acrobatics
East Africa's tumblers. The parents watch too.
Stilt Walkers
They arrive tall. The photographs never recover.
Bouncing Castles
Delivered, anchored, supervised, collected.
The characters they already love.
Life-size walkabout mascots — the pandas, the cartoon favourites, the characters children run to. Booked for birthdays and school days, and scaled up for mall activations and corporate family days. Every appearance comes with a dedicated handler, so the character stays safe, cool-headed and spotless from entrance to photo line.
Characters supplied by Chell Mascots Kenya— a specialist mascot collection led by Mirabelle artist Chell de Magician, now bookable through Mirabelle.
Clowns & mascots, by the block.
Clear pricing for a four-hour party — the block most families book — with shorter cameos and team upgrades either side. Priced as a curated experience, not a costume drop-off.
Clowns
Balloon art, face paint, games, juggling and light MC — one curated afternoon, not a drop-off.
One stage-vetted clown for a high-energy hour — signature entrance, balloon-twisting, juggling and a group game. A surprise highlight inside a larger party.
A lead performer running the whole party — balloon artistry, face painting, interactive games, juggling and gentle mischief, plus light hosting to keep the run-of-show on time. Costume, props and consumables included.
Two performers — a lead clown plus a dedicated balloon and face-paint artist — so no child waits. Comfortably handles parties of up to 200 children.
A full troupe of five for big crowds — school fun days, festivals and community events beyond 200 children. Stations spread across the ground: balloons, face paint, games and juggling, all running at once. Larger festivals quoted by brief.
- Extra performing hour, per performer — KES 4,000
- Add a second performer to a solo booking — KES 12,000
- Standalone face-painting station (extra artist) — KES 6,000
Mascots
Life-size walkabout characters via Chell Mascots Kenya — a dedicated handler included with every booking.
One costumed character with a handler — choreographed entrance, photo moments, dancing and a group song. Perfect as a party reveal.
A single beloved character across the whole party — timed entrances, meet-and-greet, photo sessions and music-cued dance breaks. Immaculate costume throughout.
Two characters, each with its own handler — paired entrances, twin photo queues and coordinated dance and game set pieces for a bigger party.
For mall activations, launches and family days — a trained walkabout performer, a professional handler and structured crowd work. Custom-branded costume available (+KES 8,000). Final quote by brief.
- Extra performing hour (character + handler) — KES 3,500
- Additional character + handler — KES 10,000
- Custom-branded / bespoke costume — KES 8,000
