Brian came to our event and entertained our 250 guests for an hour. It was quite a unique and magical experience that kicked off the night in the best possible way. Will definitely keep his contact for next time. Thanks again Brian !! More...

Words can’t do justice to how much Brian made my party a success!!!
I had booked a couple of different acts but have to say , everybody seemed to enjoy Brian’s magic the best.
Not only was he punctual, smartly dressed but just had a lovely relaxed manner about him.
He circulated the room entertaining all my adult guests and also , for my 3 nieces who are a little shy, he gave them a show of their own.. their faces were priceless!!
The seven year old , who’s really sharp and not easily impressed, asked Brian if SHE could book him for her Holy communion party 🥳.. haha we were all delighted and he made our special day just perfect 😍
I now believe in magic lol 😂
Would highly recommend!!

Brian wowed and entertained our guests at our wedding reception, after our ceremony and before dinner. His tricks were amazing! I still don't know how he did what he did and I love the keepsake we have to remind us of our 'magical' day! He amazed and delighted as many guests as he was able to in the couple of hours he was there, he was dressed smartly with a great bow tie! Very reasonably priced. Would highly recommend. Thank you Brian! More...

Brian responded to my enquiry very promptly! I didn’t even look else where as I felt Brian was very professional and likeable in his first email. This was also mentioned by the wedding guests when they were commenting on how good a magician Brian is.
I am so pleased I hired him for my sisters wedding as my gift to her. Once I told Brian all the details he sorted everything else and emailed me the day before the wedding which I thought was a great touch.
Guests loved him!
If you are looking for a professional, genuinely friendly magician to entertain your guests look no further!

Brian was excellent, there early and took seconds to set-up his performance. Family event for both adults and kids and he excited everyone with his magic, pulled the room together and got everyone involved. Factored in a special gift reveal as part of his act which was fantastic.

Would highly recommend.

Brian entertained our wedding guests at my daughter's wedding and was brilliant. Feedback from guests was he was outstanding - both as a magician and an entertainer. Wedding party was really busy after ceremony with photos and i couldn't get to talk to him for a while however Brian arrived early and entertained the guests for full period between ceremony and the wedding meal. Superb. More...

Brian turned up on time,got around tables professionally and the feedback from the tables were "Brian was excellent" and had some comedian at a table to say he was truly magic. No problems in taking time to leave review as I feel people who turn up and can do what is says on tin deserve good feedback. Big personal thanks to Brian for helping make a great night. Worth the money. More...

Real professional who read the room and involved everybody, leaving everyone from wide eyed youngsters to cynical oldies wondering the same thing - how did he do that? Heartily recommend Brian.

Brian performed at our Golden Wedding celebration. As all the guests did not know each other it was a perfect icebreaker. He delighted guests of all ages with his close contact magic . He mingled with guests in an unobtrusive way. It was so lovely to see guests engage with him and the smiles he brought to faces. A delightful, friendly and professional man who would be an asset at any event. More...

Brian arrived at our function early to make sure that by the time everyone arrived he was familiar with the surroundings. He mixed very well with everyone and introduced different "tricks" . He was a great "floor filler" and everyone really enjoyed his magic. I would recommend Brian and will keep a hold of his number for future events. More...

Brian was the magician I hired to entertain at my sisters 50th party. He was so professional and had great communication with me and arrived bang on time. He went round every single table with his close up magic tricks and everyone loved it. It was amazing to see magic so near & crazy that no-one could believe their own eyes. He was so engaging with all age groups. My 10 year old grand daughter even fell off her chair. I would recommend him to everyone and give him 5 stars. My daughter will book him again for her wedding evening. He really made my sisters party extra special. More...

Brian was brilliant! He came along for my husband's birthday party and went round the hall doing close up table tricks. The guests were left amazed. Even the ones who were determined to see how he did the tricks were stumped!
Brian's approach is professional yet friendly and his particular brand of magic provided an excellent "ice breaker" as people gathered for the evening. So glad we invited him along.

Hired Brian for birthday lunch on Saturday 20th July. Brian was extremely quick to respond to my messages. He arrived in plenty time to get acquainted with the place and set up before my guests arrived.

His magic was awesome and my guests were left bewildered!!! Every guest asked where I had "found" him. Even the restaurant took his details!

Thank you Brian for your fabulous contribution to my party!

Looking forward to the event.

Q&As

Since school, but more seriously in the last 20 odd years. Everyone knows a trick but not everyone like to practice, I love practicing just as much as performing.

I have done everything from closeup magic to stage. This includes everything from house parties to weddings to reunions and even acting ( I was in the 39 Steps). I like to mix with people so close up magic is my number 1 preference. I do a wide range of stuff like mind reading, card magic that is not run of the mill stuff, vanishes, rope magic etc etc

Meeting new people from all walks of life. The travelling is also good as magic can take you anywhere.

It was just the right time to do it. I have been in the entertainment business for around 30 years and this includes performing in bands, acting and magic. Magic for me is the most difficult as every trick has to be performed to perfection, you can forget a line in a song and people will laugh it off, you mess a trick up and people walk away.

Good time and class magic is guaranteed. I like to be on time for all my performances, being late is not an option. I also don't do anything rude or embarrassing, swearing is a no go area for me. I like to talk to people as if we have met before and i like when people come up and as me to perform for them.
