Mr Tails @ Ermha Thankyou Dinner
“"Mr Tails" style of roving performance was a perfect fit for our dinner... You can see the looks on people’s faces when an entertainer like "Mr Tails" first comes into the room – ie. "not another juggler/magician/clown, etc, etc." This turned into laughter and delight, as "Mr Tails" started to make his way around the tables. He had people racing back from the buffet or the bar, to be at their table when it came to their turn. Greatly entertaining, funny, engaging and very skilled!

Please pass on our thanks to Mr Tails. I can now see why he is so highly recommended by our Beaconsfield program team.“
- Jane Macaulay (Executive Assistant to CEO, Erma Inc.)

Two Tall Club & Dream Duo Fire Show @ The Co-op Hardware Super Store Launch
“I am writing to thank you on behalf of everyone at THE CO-OP for helping make the launch of the new Rural and Hardware Super Store such a success.
One of the more difficult aspects of planning the event was deciding on an entertainment program that would be cost effective and provide variety over three days. Fortunately Cirque Mystique solved the problem.
The fact that two people could entertain adults and children over three days, with everything from a highly sophisticated fire show, to bubble blowing and balloon art on stilts, was highly impressive. Your Two Tall Club proved equally as popular with adults at our invitation-only event, as with the youngsters who attended our children’s programs. Many staff commented on the versatility of your performers, finding it amazing that the same people who had been providing humorous entertaining on stilts for hours, then had the energy and skills to turn on a spectacular fire show in spitting rain. 
It was fantastic to work with such a versatile, professional team of performers. We will definitely use Cirque Mystique for future events. Thank you for your help.” 
- Kim Sweetnam (Event Manager, The Co-op)

Andrew Dyson & Tjoni Johansen @ Good Afternoon Festival
“Both performers were great on the day. They were both very friendly and easy going and we really appreciated their flexibility in working on the day, for example not sticking to performance times. 
Andrew’s ability to change routines and costumes throughout the day was an added bonus as it felt as though there was more than one entertainer. His juggling court the eye of many people and his stilt walking created a great “first impression” for everyone who entered the festival.
Tjoni’s fire eating even in the day was great to watch. She created a great atmosphere at night as people from all around the park could see what she was doing. Her creativity and unique fire eating definitely impressed all who watched.
Cirque Mystique were a great help from day one. They tailor made the performances to suit our festival and gave great advice on what would work. Promotion In Motion really feel Cirque Mystique added to the success of The Good Afternoon Festival.” 
- Sam Dennis (Promotion in Motion)
