Shirley provided Balloon Workshops for the general public

and appeared along with fellow magicians in the stage show at The Castle Of Magic

Stirling Castle, Scotland - 2007 and 2008

 

Excerpt from review by Tony Brook for The Magic Circular and The Magic Web Channel:-

Apart from being an excellent Award winning magician, Shirley Ray is one of the nicest people anyone could meet and is an internationally respected and highly acclaimed balloon artist. Royal Sorrel and Ori Livney, both of whom are leading International Balloon Artists, have told me that they rate Shirley very high in the world rankings. Not only did she give outstanding performances but single-handedly ran Balloon Magic workshops in The Royal Apartments. An extremely popular item as crowds were queuing up patiently on both days to take part in the workshops. Given her family background and indeed her wonderful personality, it is no surprise that she is so popular and talented!
