&lt;p&gt;Abracadabra flew down to Sydney for the Mika concert held @ The Enmore theatre on the 24/11/09.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Abracadabra transformed the theatre to look out of this world.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We hung large 3 ft balloons around the entire theatre,&amp;nbsp; creating a look of planets up above.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Up on stage we suspended various sized circles all dapled with uv paint to create an amazing cosmic like look.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All combined the theatre looked amazing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To finish things off we had two of our monster remote fired&amp;nbsp;bazooka cannons filled with white flutter fetti shoot over the entire stage,&amp;nbsp; cascading down over Mika!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Abracadabra can do balloon drops of all sizes,&amp;nbsp; call to ask what we can do for you!&lt;/p&gt;
