The effect was spectacular and added a real wow factor to the show. Jamie and the team were brilliant; they were professional, creative, conscientious and a real pleasure to deal with. I would highly recommend them.

What better way to celebrate our weird and wonderful world of effects than a night of frights at Mannakin Hall?! The Burnt Toast crew braved the scares, laughed a lot, and bonded over every terrifying twist…
A huge shoutout to our brilliant team — you bring the magic, the madness, and the mayhem to life every single day… and apparently you’re also terrible at staying calm in haunted houses. 💀🕸️
Thank you to @mannakin for a special occasion!

Let’s go behind the scenes with one of our skilled painters, Duncan, as they lay down a brand new effect — clean, controlled, and seriously satisfying to watch… that’s the paint work!
This is where the magic starts: no filters, no fuss, just craft at its finest.
Fastest-selling FX in the UK? You’re looking at why.

This Father’s Day, we’re raising a toast (a Burnt Toast, of course) to the dads who build, create, and inspire — both on and off stage.
Here is Jamie and his son, Harry 🩷
Whether you’re behind the scenes rigging animatronics, helping kids with their first DIY project, or simply encouraging imagination, you’re part of the magic.
Here’s to the backstage heroes who make the impossible look easy. Happy Father’s Day from all of us at Burnt Toast FX!
👨🔧💡 Got a dad who’s handy with tools or loves a bit of theatrical flair? Tag him and let him know he’s the real star of the show. 🌟

Our workshop is full steam ahead… 💨
…working on a brand new Christmas plane effect! ✈️
Our team is deep in the build phase, turning metal and motors into a flying magical moment - because what’s Christmas without a little theatrical flight?
But here’s the twist: this plane isn’t about the festive sparkle. It’s part of something much bigger. Think wonder. Think beauty. Think… La Bête.
What production could we possibly be talking about? Let the speculation begin 👀
