Booked for Private party

Hiring Connor for my son's Bar Mitzvah was the best decision we made for the day! He was absolutely amazing and completely wowed the guests with his incredible magic. Both the kids and adults loved him and were blown away by his tricks. I'm still getting messages from friends and family about him days after the event. An insanely talented magician and a lovely man who was quick to reply to messages and very helpful whenever we had questions in the run up to the event. I will definitely hire Connor again for any parties we hold in the future and I cannot recommend him enough to anyone else planning an event.

Booked for New Year's Eve

We had a peaky blinders nye party, I asked Chris to dress up and just be a work colleague as I only told my son he was coming. Absolutely fantastic. Blew everyone’s minds and the messages I received saying how good he was is still not giving him enough credit. It was close friends and family and he blended with everyone. I will have him again at the drop of a hat
