Booked for Christmas party

Booked for Birthday party

Chris was fantastic! He was prompt, polite, friendly and funny and mingled through our guests with ease. His magic was incredible, particularly at such close quarters and everyone was talking about how brilliant his tricks were afterwards. We’d definitely have him again and would recommend him to others.

Booked for Wedding

Tristan was amazing! He wowed all our guests! Will 100% be booking him again some time! So easy to get hold off, quick to reply on messages arrived and just got on with the show. Our wedding breakfast was on a steam train so it was a bit difficult to try and book someone that could stay with us. But it wasn't a problem for Tristan at all. Thank you Tristan for making our day one to remember

Booked for Birthday party

We hired Daniel for my husband’s 50th birthday celebration. The guests were a mix of children and adults. Daniel was absolutely fantastic. He circulated and awed children and adults alike, even the sceptics! He was unfailingly polite , professional yet very approachable. We would thoroughly recommend him and would certainly hire him again for an event!

Booked for Wedding

I am so sorry it's taken so long to write this. We can however say how impressed we were with Blake. He was professional and courteous in all his correspondence with me. He arrived on time and made sure he spent some time with every guest at the wedding. Our guests were very impressed with the tricks and we heard many 'wows' and 'how'd he do that' on the day and since! I would not hesitate to recommend Blake and am sure we will be booking him again ourselves! Thank you Blake.

We delivered next level parties for exceptional companies

We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.
