Booked for Birthday party

Could not recommend Ian enough! He attended my 40th birthday party with great success. He was punctual and dressed very smart. Ian was friendly, engaging and kept everyone entertained, from young to old, on a one to one basis and in big groups. He was adaptable, funny and a great entertainer! All guests asked where I found him because he was so excellent! His magic was really quite intriguing and kept everyone guessing. He's a real gem and wouldn't hesitate to book Ian again.

Booked for Private party

"Magio entertained us for a new year party and was fantastic. He mingled with little groups and wowed them with close up tricks. Everyone crowded round for the big finale trick that blew everyone’s minds! We were impressed with how he adapted to a range of different ages including toddlers, teenagers and a rowdy bunch of very merry adults. He really got our evening off to a fun start. Thanks to Magio."
