Booked for Wedding

Kurtis was incredible! Professional, friendly, just fantastic magic. Our wedding guests were blown away, as was I. So thrilled with our decision to hire the ginger magician, it was a wonderful touch which our guests were talking about all evening (and the next day). On top of that, Kurtis was a lovely person which made it all the more enjoyable.

Booked for Birthday party

Please DO book Nelson. He came down from London to Leigh on Sea to make an appearance at my son's 21st Birthday party yesterday. Nelson is charismatic, friendly, funny, and most of all brilliant at his craft. He engaged everyone at the party and totally blew our minds with his work. I could not have chosen a better person to make the party one to remember. Thank you Nelson, you're magic!
