Welcome to a world of magical special effects for theatre, TV and film!

At Burnt Toast SFX we design, build and hire unforgettable special effects for theatre TV & film that give your audiences a truly memorable experience.  We provide all our clients with a truly personal bespoke package, including full training and a hassle-free delivery and collection service, which gives total peace of mind.

Our effects

We’re known for our immensely popular flying effects, the incredible Red Arrow ‘Hawk’ and the Supersonic Jet Pack 360, however, we also create stunning props such as our wonderful Windsor Classic Car. Our magical CGI animations can either compliment our flying effects, or be used as standalone sequences.

Unique creations

We’re the first company in the UK to have secured approval from the Ministry of Defence, for the manufacture & hire of the Red Arrow ‘Hawk,’ which has been seen all over the UK from military anniversaries to film premieres. New special effects  are being developed all the time, so keep an eye on our site for updates to our extensive portfolio.

“We recently had a need for any extremely rush job, for a stage lift effect.

Burnt Toast SFX, a company that we had never dealt with before, managed to design, fabricate and deliver, to our exact specification. In a two week window over the Christmas break!

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend, use again, or award five stars to this extremely talented company.”

“We produced Aladdin at the Marlowe Theatre in Canterbury and hired The Genie Flying Carpet from Burnt Toast SFX.  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 really pleasure to deal with.  I would highly recommended them.”

“In our pursuit of enhancing our performances, we embarked on a quest to introduce a flying element into our space within the Serendome at Bluestone Resorts. This proved to be a challenging endeavor until we stumbled upon Burnt Toast SFX and connected with Jamie and his team. Our initial video call ignited a sense of excitement as we explored the possibilities.

Over the course of 9 months, our experience with Burnt Toast was characterized by consistently pleasant and transparent communication. The collaboration culminated in the delivery of a safe product that genuinely impressed our audience. We extend our gratitude to Jamie and the team for their commendable work. We eagerly anticipate future collaborations, acknowledging the positive impact they’ve had on our project.”

“Can I just add my own personal thanks for the wonderful experience of the carriage for our pantomime Cinderella last year.  It was the most wonderful experience and I watched every single show and got emotional everytime!  Thank you to you and your team for making the whole process so deliverable and being so accommodating.”
