Bertie and Boo: A Family Steeped in Magic!
Bertie and Boo Pearce come from a truly magical family! In fact they are the third
generation of magicians in a glorious family tradition.
It began with Bertie and Boo’s
Grandparents Martha and
Derek. Family photo albums
tell the fascinating story of this
magical couple who designed
and built their own ingenious
props for their frequent magical
extravaganzas. Many of those
props are still used by Bertie
and Boo in their stage work to
this day!
When Martha and Derek got too stiff to squeeze into their stage costumes, their
daughter Julia took over (Bertie and Boo’s mother!). Performing under the name ‘Lollipop’, she continued the magical family tradition with gusto and charm–often bringing the young wide-eyed Bertie and Boo into her act. By the time
Bertie was twelve (and Boo just eight) they were already performing for local
clubs, old people’s homes and children’s parties.
Inspired by all this magic, entranced by a childhood filled with spells, illusions
and the heady whiff of greasepaint, Bertie and Boo just had to make magic
their lives!
And that is the true story of how Bertie and Boo came to be,
well...
Bertie and Boo!
