Puppets Magic Studio can support you at every stage of your project, from the initial development of concept artwork through to sourcing the ideal puppeteer for your production. Whether you have a fully formed idea or are just starting to explore possibilities, our experienced team is here to help guide you through the process. Simply get in touch with us and we can talk you through each step involved in creating your required character, ensuring the final puppet meets the specific needs of your production. All of our TV puppets are individually handmade to order at our London studio, with great attention to detail and craftsmanship.

We proudly ship worldwide and regularly collaborate with production companies, filmmakers, puppeteers, theatrical productions, and anyone seeking high-quality bespoke puppet figures. Our creations have appeared in television, film, and stage productions across the globe, reflecting the versatility and quality of our work.

The studio offers a comprehensive design service, supporting projects from the earliest stages of development through to final production. This process most commonly begins with the creation of initial 2D concept artwork and detailed line drawings, helping to establish the visual direction of a character or project.

We can also produce fully rendered colour illustrations, working closely with you throughout the design process to develop and refine a character that accurately reflects your project's creative vision while meeting your expectations. Collaboration is at the heart of our approach, ensuring that every design is tailored to the specific needs of the production.

For projects that require a three-dimensional design stage, our studio is also equipped to provide a complete model-making and maquette-making service. These physical representations can be developed to a variety of scales and levels of detail, depending on the requirements of the project, helping to bring concepts to life before final production begins.

Over the years, we have collaborated on a wide variety of productions, ranging from television programmes and film projects to live theatrical performances. This extensive experience has enabled us to build strong relationships with a diverse range of performers, allowing us to recommend the most suitable puppeteer to bring your particular concept to life.

We can also provide practical guidance on working with puppets during production, especially when it comes to filming. Puppets require a different approach to actors, both in terms of operation and camera techniques. Successful puppet performance on screen depends on an understanding of how the character is controlled, as well as the specific filming methods needed to achieve the best results. We are able to work closely with your production team, crew, and puppeteers, offering support both on set and behind the scenes throughout the process.

Another specialist service offered by our studio is professional puppet wrangling. A puppet wrangler is responsible for caring for and maintaining puppet characters on set between takes. Ideally, this role should be carried out by an experienced custom puppet maker with a thorough understanding of how a puppet is constructed, inside and out. This knowledge ensures that the character is handled correctly and maintained to the highest standard throughout production.

The puppet wrangler's role is to keep the character looking camera-ready at all times, whether that means adjusting the hair, ensuring the costume sits correctly, or making small refinements before filming resumes. This level of attention to detail is essential for maintaining continuity and helping productions run smoothly, efficiently, and with minimal stress. If you would like to learn more about these services, simply get in touch and we will be happy to discuss the options available for your project.

Our studio accepts work on a commissioned basis and whilst we primarily work with commercial productions, we are just as happy to create characters for individual collectors or independent film makers.

We very occasionally have custom puppets in stock. These are designed 'in house' by our designers and made in between commissions. From concept artwork to completed puppet, these puppets are built in the same high quality style as our made-to-order characters - contact us for more information.
