Booked for Halloween

Connor was excellent - he has honed his craft to perfection- all our guests were amazed at his close up show. Obviously his illusions are amazing - but more than that he is funny, engaging a real positive force of energy. He worked the entire room at our Halloween party and everyone was amazed at his skills . Couldn’t recommend him more highly . Thank you Connor !

Booked for Birthday party

Ben was easy to communicate with before our party which reassured me. As the party was in full swing at his start time he just came in and got on with it which was a relief. He ended up getting pinned into a corner entertaining the older kids but they absolutely loved his magic and so did everyone else. I would highly recommend!

Booked for Corporate Function

Wow, we had an amazing evening with Brian. As well as his brilliant close up magic, Brian was so personable, commanding an audience that grew from a handful of people to a group being drawn in, as well as roaming and engaging new people. Adults and children were both fascinated and gobsmacked by his magic. Absolutely brilliant value for money. Cannot highly recommend Brian enough. Thanks for a fabulous contribution to our party!

Booked for Birthday party

Daniel performed at my 30th birthday to a fairly large crowd. He was brilliant, and managed to engage and entertain everyone. Would thoroughly recommend him if you want to have a truly magical evening,

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.
