Jade Parker21 Sep 2026

Booked for Anniversary

I hired Connor for my grandparents 60th wedding anniversary. He was very approachable, easy to get along with and was very entertaining. All the guests loved him and he did brilliantly to the smaller groups of guests and also to the whole party together. Our guests ranged from about 5 years old to about 90 years old, and Connor was great with them all! Would definitely recommend for any occasion. Thanks Connor!

Booked for Birthday party

Magio was absolutely brilliant - friendly and communicative in the build-up, and on the evening (my mum’s birthday, 60 people) he was such a smash hit - everyone loved him! He was there for 2 hours, mingling amongst the guests doing card tricks, close-up magic and some utterly amazing mentalism tricks. Everyone was talking about him - he really added something special to the evening - I would highly highly recommend him!

Paul did some amazing tricks with a pack of cards , repeated the same thing with all the guests in small parties of 3/4 people. I was expecting to see some more tricks , other than the same one repeated with different guests.

Booked for Birthday party

Kurtis was excellent! The magic was so great and he was a great entertainer! We had quite a few adults with learning disabilities at party too and Kurtis was a natural with everyone! I plan to book Kurtis again definitely! Certainly the best magician I’ve seen!

We delivered next level parties for exceptional companies

We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.
