Nathan was a very reasonable price, and following the event I can tell you he was worth every penny. You can tell he is part of the magic circle, highly skilled and just a really lovely bloke. He personalised his magic for our event, and we received so many responses from our guests to say how good he was. We even had people who don’t really like magic say that they loved his style & was very impressive. The kiwi trick was a show-stopper, so many people commented on that one. He was responsive before the event, same early to avoid being late, was lovely, and we would highly recommend him!!!!!

He moved seamlessly through the crowd, engaging guests of all ages with close-up magic that kept them entertained and amazed. Not only was he incredibly talented, but he also had a great personality and was so easy to work with.

If you're looking for an entertainer who will keep your guests mesmerized and smiling, we highly recommend him. Thank you for making our wedding even more magical!
