Booked for Halloween

Ok so since my event I have had so much feedback regarding Wayne that he’s absolutely mind blowing. One of the best magicians that they’ve seen. My boss even said he was really good. I’m absolutely gutted as I did not get an encounter. But I wanted to leave a review as everyone’s highlight of the evening was Wayne and I’ve even had people ask how I booked him/ how I found him as they would like to have him host at there events/weddings etc. Thank you Wayne for attending my event I hope you had fun too :)

Booked for Birthday party

I arranged for Kurtis aka The Ginger Magician to appear at my Dad's surprise 90th birthday party. Am so pleased we chose Kurtis. He arrived in good time, was sociable, professional and interracted well with a whole range of ages at the party from 3 to 90. He is an awesome Magician and mind reader! Everyone was amazed by his mind reading skills in particular, how does he do that?! Amazing. Thanks Kurtis. Highly recommend.

Booked for Birthday party

From my first request for a quote to booking Jack for my event, he was personable, communicative and reliable. Jack turned up on time and was eager to ensure that he delivered what I wanted. Jack is a super talented magician, mind-reader and hypnotist, delivering all three so perfectly at my party. He had us all in amazement with his tricks and mind-reading ability! Actually freaked us out a little with how good he is! The hypnotism act was amazing and funny - my guests loved it! If you are looking for a reliable, friendly, talented act for your event, Jack is your guy. He has an amazing sense of humour too so he got stuck in with the free flowing banter at my event which was brilliant. Thank you so much, Jack. I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone. You are a class act! Nicola

Booked for Private party

Daryl lifted the party to another level for us and our guests. His magic was astounding but what was even better was the way he floated around the room, connecting with every group, making them laugh and enabling them to connect with each other. I've seen a few decent magicians at weddings and work events but none of them could hold a candle to Daryl. We feel so lucky that we were able to book him and we heartily recommend his services to anyone.
