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!

Booked for Birthday party

Thomas performed close-up magic at my 50th birthday party for two hours. The guests ranged from age 10 to 75, and everyone was really impressed. He had a wide range of tricks to show us, and made sure that everyone got to see something fun. He arrived in good time, worked hard and was very good with the sceptical or shy guests. If you’re looking for something unusual to break the ice, that everyone will enjoy, and a talking point for the rest of your evening, I can really recommend Thomas. It was great fun. Thank you Thomas!
