Scoop really added the extra ‘wow’ factor to our wedding reception. Our guests were amazed by the tricks he showed them and kept telling us about them throughout the night! We would both highly recommend.
Paul was absolutely amazing at our wedding. All of ur guests have said how incredible he was and how impressed they were! Would highly recommend.
Paul was absolutely fantastic on our wedding day, I couldn't of asked for a more professional and personal magician. Paul's enthusiasm and engagement with our guests was outstanding. I personally think that Paul is undervaluing himself as for value for money there is no comparison. Guests at our wedding couldn't stop talking about Paul for long after he left our venue. Thank you Paul for making our day perfect.
Brilliant, everyone loved Paul. Keeping a large group of 18 year olds enthralled is a tough assignment and he managed them beautifully. We will be asking him to come back!
Really worked hard and got the audience engaged. Good personality and appropriate tricks particularly as it is more difficult online I thought he got audience participation and everyone seemed to have enjoyed the short time we had available.
Fabulous! I got this for my wife’s 40th just as something a bit different because of lockdown. Great show which I could invite friends and family along to via zoom. Paul is a great showman and the close up magic was super. Everyone enjoyed it and My wife said it made her day feel special. Thank you
Struggled to find ways to celebrate my husband's 60th birthday in lockdown? Paul was a fabulous find though, it was so easy to set up! Funny, entertaining interactive magic show that all your family and friends can enjoy together, highly recommend. Well done Paul x
Brilliant show, great entertainer. I had my doubts about an online crowd but Paul nailed it. My team was very pleased.
Brilliant preformance and very professional. Great magic, truly amazing. Made my wife's birthday truly memorable.
Very entertaining and performed some really cool tricks! The whole family, of various ages, thoroughly enjoyed.
Fantastic!
Thank you for a really great show!
Great communication!
An amazing show! Scoop Magic was thoroughly entertaining, thrilling and kept us all in suspense and awe from start to finish! All the staff were thrilled with the show... we are all still trying to work out how the Magic was done! :) Would 100 percent recommend!
Paul drove a long way for my wife’s birthday party. He arrived on time and got to work immediately. He was slick, professional and engaging with a polished line of banter that had everyone laughing. Even now three weeks after the event guests are still talking about his skills and amazing tricks. I would recommend Paul without hesitation, a truly professional entertainer,
Scoop was absolutely amazing! Our wedding guests were stunned silent by his mind blowing magic!
We still can’t get our heads around the illusions we saw. Thank you so much for adding some amazing memories to our Wedding Day!
Paul was brilliant at our corporate event, he was professional, friendly and entertaining. Would highly recommend him, our guests were left buzzing afterwards.
Paul arrived on time and quickly “got to work” with assembled guests, table by table. He has a very engaging style and his illusions were amazing. All of our guests including myself were impressed an amazed with his close up magic. One of our guests intend to book Paul for a future event she is organising.. I have already sent an email of thanks to Paul.
The guests loved an array of close up magic. Paul's attendance really made a positive impact on the party. He was able to perform for all guests. I would definitely recommend Paul for any future event. Thank you
Scoop magic was amazing! The tricks were so good and all the guests loved it. Would definitely recommend!!
Magic is definitely the word, the man and therefor the event!
The guests were mistified and well entertained.
This guy does the impossible and makes it look easy.
Any social or corporate event would benefit from Paul Dawson's riveting performance.
Great performance by Paul. Our event had all kinds of guests and Paul managed to engage them very well. Definitely worth it.
"Paul performed close up magic for our guests at our charity dinner last night and he was AMAZING!
I couldn’t recommend him more, he was brilliant at the drinks reception mingling with guests and keeping them entertained.
Then he moved around the tables very well between courses during dinner to keep the evening moving. Each time I herd a gasp and an applaud from another table across the room I knew he was worth every penny!
Would I book him again? I think there is a good chance I will next year!"
He was ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT! and had my guests talking into the small hours, hours after he'd left discussing how the hell he did it! It was also a nice touch that he came up to me before leaving and did a trick on me as I'd been far too busy hosting to watch him perform prior to that.... he was worth every last penny of what I'd already concluded was a very reasonable fee!!!
Absolutely amazing children loved him so did the adults funny witty and clever would defo have again
Brilliant! Everyone at the party was amazed, as they should be. Highly recommend Scoop for any party.

"From the very first contact Scoop aka Paul Dawson was brilliant. He met our expectations and entertained all out guests. He provided an hour long children's entertainment session while we had our legal wedding ceremony which me Any all the kids had fun and the ceremony wasn't interrupted. The up close magic for our guests was fun, perplexing, amazing and captivating. He has a great down to earth approach and really kept us all amused. Highly recommended.

My cabaret show is 45 minutes long but can be shortened or lengthened to an hour if necessary. I usually do two hours of close up magic visiting different groups of people throughout that time but this can be adjusted depending on the number of people.
Close up (table hopping or mix and mingle), cabaret or stage. All performances are suitable for families or adults.
I have experience performing at a wide variety of events so whatever your event I'm sure we will be able to come up with something suitable.
Any amount but the performance type and length will depend upon the number of people.
Close-up magic
Parlour show
Cabaret show
Stage show
Mystery room
