Mrs Pritha Ray6 Oct 2025

Booked for Birthday party

The magician I selected from Poptop Events was superb. He kept in touch with me before the party, arrived on time and kept my guests entertained with great magic.

David Fowler28 Aug 2025

Booked for Birthday party

Robbie played a significant part in a very successful evening. He was very professional in the lead-up to the event and was keen to understand the expectations for his performance. Everyone was impressed with and enjoyed all aspects of his magic (going between 6 tables of 10) and spoke highly of what he did. It was fun watching the guests being nonplussed by what they saw (especially as at this party they weren't told in advance what the early entertainment would be). I would be very pleased to see him again !
