Human Mirror Ball! L.E.D's (3 Performers)
POA
Mirra Bella is a walking, dancing human mirror ball, she is covered in thousands of mirrored tiles and quite literally glows. She comes
with her own 4 point stiltwalking light sources, namely Black Beam and High Beam. Black Beam is utterly black and has two powerful UV
lights on his head, which makes anything white or Ultra Violet come to life. High Beam has an incredibly strong light on his head as well
as a strobe on his chest and he is made from light reflective material and is quite capable of lighting up an entire room. Together, the
L.E.D's will bring magic and awe to any event.

Simon Newton has portrayed Disney legend Captain Jack Sparrow (as played by Hollywood film star Johnny Depp in the Pirates of the
Caribbean franchise) at events across England and the World for many years as well as being a photo double for Johnny Depp himself in

swashbuckling star, and of course the unique voice, and sharp wit! At many events vistors often walk away convinced they have met
Johnny Depp. Simon has built up a reputation of being not only a perfect Captain Jack Sparrow impersonator, but also has the
professional attitude and reliability you'd expect from a top class entertainer
