Just finished our meal where we were lucky enough to be entertained by James. We all loved his magic tricks and jokes. My 11 year old is still trying to work out how he did the tricks and my 2 year old is still going on about the man's 'wallet being on fire'! I would highly reccomend him for any occasion, and genuinely think he could amaze people of all ages. Thanks very much James, we hope to see you again very soon! More...
