Booked for Celebration

We hired Jack to perform close-up magic during our event dinner, and he was brilliant! He moved between groups of guests throughout the evening, performing incredible tricks that genuinely amazed everyone. People were laughing, reacting and trying to figure out how he did it all night. He has a great way of engaging with guests and creating a fun, relaxed atmosphere. We received fantastic feedback from attendees and would definitely recommend him for corporate events or private functions!

Phillip was great. He entertained the kids and the adults was great value for money and perfect for our relaxed vibe mingling throughout the group and making magic and balloon art for everyone.

Booked for Corporate Function

I am still in shock on how he was able to guess the word I was thinking of 😅 Everyone keeps asking me where did I found Connor from. Extremely engaging, friendly, and professional. We will most definitely be booking Connor again. If you want to be amazed book Connor Collins. Wow just wow !

Booked for Birthday party

Raza was a great addition to our children's joint 18th/21st birthday party, acting as an icebreaker from the very beginning of the event as guests arrived and started to mingle. His magic was great, everyone was amazed by what he could do and we got lots of comments on how good the magician was. Raza stayed longer than the two hours I had booked him for as everyone kept asking for more tricks!

Booked for Birthday party

Steve performed close up magic for a surprise 30th birthday party. He was amazing! His magic tricks were awesome and the guests were left memorized. Many guests sent messages after asking for Steve's details! He was easy to communicate with, very reliable and flexible. I definitely will be using Steve in the future! Thank you for providing the entertainment at the party.
