Booked for Birthday party

Please, just book Oli! I needed entertainment for a 30th birthday party themed around "A Midsummer Night’s Dream". While other performers dismissed the idea of tailoring their act, Oli embraced it wholeheartedly. He crafted a show inspired by the play, full of clever references and customised tricks—even referring to himself as “Puck”. This wasn’t just a themed booking; it was a showcase of Oli’s creativity, passion, and genuine talent for magic. Communication was smooth and efficient from the start, and Oli’s adaptability on the day was exceptional. When illness led to far fewer guests than expected, he calmly reworked the original plan with just a couple of hours’ notice, delivering three 30-minute “secret” shows instead of four shorter ones, plus a final group performance. His flexibility and cheerful approach made all the difference. On arrival, he was warm, relaxed, and immediately put everyone at ease. The performance itself was outstanding—funny, dramatic, and skilfully delivered. Even guests whose first language wasn’t English were completely engaged. I’ve already recommended Oli to others and wouldn’t hesitate to book him again.

Booked for Birthday party

We hired Connor for a small family birthday party. From the beginning, Connor was responsive and easy to work with. On the day of the party, he was communicative, prompt and incredibly friendly. The show was wonderful and Connor did a fantastic job making everyone at the table feel comfortable and including everyone in the fun - we have been raving about him ever since! I highly recommend Connor for anyone looking to hire a magician.

Booked for Celebration

We booked Mike as a surprise addition to our daughters naming ceremony and were not disappointed! All of our guests loved the performance and gave fantastic feedback. You could hear the laughs and cheers all over the room whilst Mike was performing. He arrived promptly and did not rush out the door at the end. Would definitely book again and highly recommend.

Booked for Birthday party

Can’t praise Marin highly enough. He was punctual, polite, extremely good with people and above all an incredible magician. The poor guy had to work on the hottest day of the year, but circulated without stopping for an hour and a half amongst 180 guests during pre-dinner drinks. Everybody there were amazed by his talents and all gave me incredible reviews about him. Can’t recommend him highly enough. Many thanks Martin.
