"""Just a quick thank you to Magician Martin John for performing at our staff doo! His up close magic around the tables was superb and the stand up show to everyone after dinner finished the night off perfectly! Thank you. Will recommend for our future events"""
"""This is just a short note to say that Martin's performance at our Christmas lunch on Tuesday was excellent. Everyone enjoyed the show and we had nothing but positive comments about him; his performance, his mannerism, his sense of humour... All in all, we give him 10 out of 10! """
"""Martin performed to us all at our annual Christmas Party event in london. He was super slick & every table was laughing as much as being amazed. Really entertaining, will definitely recommend you. Cheers!"""
"""An extraordinarily talented magician
Martin John is an extraordinarily talented magician. We booked him for an office party three years ago through the agency and he was outstanding. So when we had a big birthday party for my wife last weekend near Winchester, I booked him again. He did not disappoint!
Not only does he do spectacular “big tricks” but he also achieves remarkable other magic even when you are looking at him only a couple of feet away! What is more, he is amusing and charismatic. His show last weekend was enjoyed by our young grandchildren and all the adults alike"""
"""Martin John was absolutely amazing! We hired him for a corporate event and everyone was very impressed. Definitely the best magician which I've seen before - and very friendly, funny and generally entertaining. Would recommend for any event!"""
"""Wedding - 27.07.2018
Martin was amazing. He really entertained our guests as they were still talking about how good his magic was days later!
Would highly recommend to everyone.
Thank you."""
“Amazing Magician! Everyone loved him”
"“Totally Amazing - would highly recommend!
Martin arrived in good time and chatted through his performance with both myself and my client. He was smartly dressed and friendly. The guests were amazed at his performance - even talking about it the following day and trying to work out how he did some of his tricks. Would definitely recommend Martin for future events""."
“Martin blew everyone away with his amazing magic skills!”
"“Martin John is not a magician. He is a WIZARD!
Martin is an incredible magician, not only that, he is a top guy that seemed to draw everyone towards him while doing his act. His tricks left many of us dumbfounded and our event was made exponentially better by having him there. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great, wholesome, funny entertainment!"""
"""Martin was very professional and made the guests feel at ease. The guests were blown away and will be talking about the magic for some time!"""
"""Martin surpassed our guests expectations. Next time we will book him for longer as the 2 hours didn't seem enough. Should anyone wish to book him, Martin is an excellent choice."""
If you opt for Close-up Magic, Martin will mingle amongst your guests in groups or at their tables performing for roughly 5 minutes and then moving on to the next. Most common bookings are 1-2 hours. If you are looking for a Comedy Stage Magic Show, the most common length is 30-45 minutes however this can be customised on request to suit.
Close-up Magic & a Comedy Stage Magic Show
Both Close-up Magic & Comedy Stage Magic can be booked for most events. Close-up is ideal for mingling at drinks receptions for weddings & corporate / private parties, also performing around the tables throughout dinner. A Comedy Stage Magic Show is more suitable for after dinner entertainment / Award ceremonies etc.
Close-up Magic generally per 1 hour approx. 50 - 80 people can be performed to e.g. if Martin performed a 5 minute set to 8-10 groups of 5-8 people. Martin's Comedy Stage Magic Show can be performed to anything from fifty to thousands of people in an audience.
CLOSE-UP MAGIC
With masses of experience Martin has mastered the art of witty, comedy Close-up Magic bringing laughter and amazement to guests at weddings, parties & corporate events.
Martin will approach each group at your event and perform magic with cards, coins that fall upwards, ropes, sponge rabbits (a favourite for women & children) and even borrowed and everyday objects! Signed cards appear in Martin’s pockets, impossibly into his wallet and even magically change in the spectators hands. The ultimate Close-up Magic experience from a truly seasoned professional!
COMEDY STAGE MAGIC
Having performed his comedy stage magic act to small audiences of 50, large cruise ship theatres of 1500 & recently to a corporate event of over 4000 people in India, whatever your requirements Martin can work with you every step of the way.
What can you expect to see in the show? After watching the sample video will have a good idea! Martin will spellbound you with his visual magic productions…parasols appear from thin air, silks turn into canes and a metal table will seamlessly levitate around the room and over the heads of the audience! Witness the outcome of a trick that ‘apparently’ needs no rehearsal, followed by a 4 year in the making routine inspired by his great grandfather! With a unique talent to combine magic with comedy, you are guaranteed a fun packed night of entertainment.
