Wow… what can I say? Alex was an absolute dream and really did tick every box! I was looking for a magician who could do close-up card magic for my dads birthday. I wanted a magician who could approach the different groups of guests rather than an all-eyes-on-me performance. I thought it would be a simple task to find someone, but it proved to be really difficult to find anyone within budget who could not only do close-up magic, but who was skilled, professional and approachable. A lot of those I found came across in their promo videos as either extremely cheesy/cringe or the total opposite - straight faced and completely unapproachable. I was about to give up hope but decided to have one last Google and that’s when I came across Alex. First of all, he was very responsive and asked all the right questions to make sure he could provide exactly what we wanted. He even asked if he could bring along his photographer who would provide us photos on email for free (I don’t think this was a standard procedure, we just got lucky!). You never know what to expect when you’ve never seen them live before and as “chief party planner” I was slightly anxious, but Alex was simply fantastic. He exceeded my expectations and managed to gel the different groups of guests together who wouldn’t otherwise have engaged with one another. Alex really played a vital role in making the party a success and blew the minds of everyone, from children to 80+ year olds! A real crowd pleaser, highly likeable, and a very skilled, reliable magician who goes above & beyond. If you’re still wondering whether to book him or not, multiple people contacted us for his details after the party to book him for theirs. For me, that was the most telling way to know I made the right choice in booking Alex!
