Booked for Birthday party

We were having a birthday/moving in party. My husband, who knew that I’d always wanted a table magician, had booked Lee as a surprise for me. He was absolutely super, amazing the children and the oldies alike with his tricks, stories and sleight of hand. He worked very hard, stopped to have a bite to eat with some persuasion, then carried on. When he was getting ready to leave I spoke to him and said I was sorry that I hadn’t been able to watch much as I’d been busy, so he unpacked and gave me another 30 mins so I didn’t miss out. Lovely guy and a great magician.

Booked for Anniversary

Brian was amazing. He was very quickly able to work out his audience and for two hours had us all spell bound. Great value act and we would/will be using him for our next big event. If you use Brian get him to do the balloon trick where a full bottle of wine appears when he pops it, we have replayed our video footage and cannot see how he did it.
