I asked John Taylor to entertain family and friends at a party held to celebrate my son Colin’s 50th Birthday.
John arrived on time and he looked very dapper in stylish clothes.
He took stock of the room and how we were distributed and proceeded to entertain each group of 5 or 6 individually. His tricks were excellent and led to gasps of disbelief and admiration.
John entertained us really well, everyone who attended said how much they had enjoyed the occasion.
It was a surprise for Colin and he thought it was a wonderful idea to get John to attend.
I would recommend John to anyone who wants to create a memorable occasion.
Kind Regards
Pam Briggs

John gave a 'walk-around' magic presentation at my recent 80th birthday party.
He was excellent.
Professional, polished, friendly and left everyone with the 'how did he do that' feeling.
Highly recommended and I'd have no hesitation in booking him again.

John was a guest magician at my 70th birthday party. He arrived on time….always a good thing…..and after just a few minutes to get sorted, he was soon leaving us all in bewilderment. “How did you do that?” was the frequently asked question.
A fab time was had. He kept the guests, 30 of us, well entertained for two hours. The guests ranged from 8 to 70+.
Thanks John…it was a great evening. Hope you enjoyed it too.

I hired John to provide some 'magical entertainment' as part of my husband' s surprise 70th birthday party. John was polite and courteous from the outset when arranging the booking and always replied promptly. We discussed requirements and agreed on an initial 'stage' show followed by some 'table' magic. John arrived promptly at the venue and performed a variety of tricks using mind reading, ESP and telepathy to name but a few. Many involved audience participation in different and interesting ways, all adding
to the entertainment value. Thank you John for contributing so well to this very special party, highly recommended.

John was prompt on time of arrival, extremely courteous, charming, very perceptive towards his audience and extra sensory perception was outstanding. He left the wedding party of various age groups speechless and stunned, captivated the imagination of the several young children present on the day. Cannot imagine anyone else being able to do this to John's standard or level of experience. Above all else it is obvious that he absolutely loves his job as a magician and would recommend him to anyone! More...

Logistically, very well organised and seamless before the day.

On the day, John was personable, funny and of course, magical! I’m guessing that wasn’t his first rodeo. The timing of what he delivered worked really well in the day. He was very inclusive, appealing to a wide range of ages within the group. His act was polished and his tricks baffled even the most cynical of guests.

I’ve already recommended John and would to anyone else. He certainly added something to my wife’s 40th party. Lovely chap. Great entertainment!

We re-scheduled a postponed charity event from July 2021 (due to not moving out of Step 3 to Step 4 re: Covid)
It was meant to be an Opsrey Cruise on Rutland Water on board the Rutland Belle for 70 plus guests.
Re-arranged for September 14th - problem - no Osprey (they had all flown away to warmer climes) So we had the canapes, the prosecco and the guests what about the entertainment.
Solution - live music and a magician to work his way around the boat mingling in with the guests doing close up magic tricks. John Taylor from JR Magic was my saviour and his professionalism, skill and charm along with being very well dressed helped to make what could have been an awkward evening a very enjoyable one.
Everyone loved his magic work and were genuinely amazed by some of his mind game tricks.
I would thoroughly recommend John - he is very professional and above all is very adaptable to the situation. After all, who else could entertain a group of 70 people on board a boat (indoor and outdoor) on a cold damp evening in September with no Osprey and still be a success.
Well done John

This has been a first class experience. The communication was excellent. Mostly by email, phone calls and a text. John did exactly what I'd ask for entertaining my guests of various age groups, being very young and very old. My guests were very impressed with John's tricks and really left a WOW at my 50th party. Can certainly recommend him and would use him again without any hesitation. 5 stars and a thumps up from me. More...

We booked John for our Christmas party this year for 70 guests and he was amazing and I would be glad to recommend him. John was asked to complete up close and table magic both at reception drinks and during our meal - he was very discrete and blended in very well and left us all enthralled - he was a great addition to our event. Thank you John.

16 December 2019

I booked John as the entertainment for my 50th birthday party, to provide close£up & tabletop magic during the evening. His communications prior to the event were excellent & he offered to meet me to give me a demo before we agreed the booking. I was impressed with the demo, & signed him up straight away! On the night he arrived promptly, looked very smart & easily worked the room with his magic tricks. Many guests told me how amazing he was & how impressed they were. It really added to the atmosphere of the party & helped make a special event even more special. I would absolutely recommend him - he was easily the most reasonably priced of all the magicians I contacted, yet the quality was impeccable. Thanks John! More...

John was brilliant at our garden party. Our guests loved him. He mingled with our guests with ease and flair, they were all impressed with his magic and all afternoon I was hearing ‘ how did he do that! ??’ And ‘that was amazing!’. It really helped the afternoon flow and was a lovely entertainment. I was really happy with my choice of magician and am very happy to highly recommend John. He kept everyone entertained for about 1.5 hours. He had plenty of magic to keep everyone entertained... about 30 people roughly. More...

Q&As

Last 30 years, and I just love it!! Every year I improve my repertoire and enjoy making, practicing and performing new magic effects.

For Weddings, dinners, corporate events, I would perform close up and table magic, involving as many guests as possible. Included in this performance is "Mentalism" which includes mind reading, telepathy, ESP - always very popular with guests.
For some functions I perform an interactive "stage" show, where all the audience can see and participate in a variety of magic effects.
I always make a point of involving as many people as possible which enhances the performance and enjoyment.

Interacting with spectators and watching their stunned faces. Being able to perform "magic effects" right under their nose without detection is brilliant.
Developing the patter to suit the occasion which personalises the "magic".

I just love performing entertaining magic. Magic was a hobby for many years, performing for friends and family. Then my reputation grew and others began asking me to perform at their events.
The majority of my bookings are by recommendations and word of mouth.

I have a large repertoire of quality magic effects which can be tailored to any type of event or occasion. I can also "personalise" my performance for added enjoyment.
I believe my rates are very competitive, as I just love performing magic!
