With over 40 million online hits to his name, Piff has performed to hundreds of thousands of people in preposterous venues such as Radio City Music Hall, London's O2 arena and Sydney Opera House. His sidekick Mr Piffles, the world's first magic performing Chihuahua, has been levitated, laminated, shackled in a straitjacket and shot out of a cannon all in the name of entertainment. Just one thing: they don't do children's parties.
