Tim was an absolute delight! My son’s 8th birthday will be truly memorable to all of us and all the children who attended. I haven’t seen 7, 8 year old children being so engaged for 2 hour total performance delivered in a 3 hour slot. Parents also had as much laughs as children had. Truly fascinating show! Also, he brought the piñata full of sweets and all those lovely party bags! Thank you again Tim, very happy parents. More...

Tim came to entertain us for my son's 5th birthday - and delivered an amazing show which completely exceeded our expectations. The magic as such was entertaining enough, but the delivery really surprised us, it was just hilarious, a real comedy show, I haven't seen my son laughing that much before. The kids were mesmerised and the adults had at least as much fun as the kids. With very little space Tim managed to make it look like a great stage show and I received a lot of praise for organising such a fantastic event! More...

Tim was absolutely fantastic at our son’s 5th birthday party. He put on an amazing show and the kids loved it - he really held their attention and his show was entertaining for the adults too. So many people commented on how excellent he was and most importantly, our son loved the show and keeps on talking about it. Tim is a hugely talented magician and a real find! More...

We hired Tim at short notice for an Office Xmas Party, as we clearly couldn't venture out.
He delivered as promised a very fun-filled hour of magic, humor and delightful magic which none of the office had in fact ever seen live.
The Rabbit out of the hat was certainly the climax, and something to treasure for years to come.
would certainly recommend Tim to anyone looking for a lively magician.

Tim built a good rapport with children and adults. The bunny trick was very successful. My 7-year-old and her friends had a very good time and Covid distancing restrictions were respected by all and Tim. He also got in touch very quickly and it was very luck that he was free for a next day gig. Thank you. More...

Hello Mar, Thank you for booking me, and for your kind words. It was lovely to meet Nerea and her friends, and I'm so pleased they enjoyed themselves. And it was great that the weather held up too so we could all be outside. Kind regards, Tim

We hired Tim after having to change our plans to celebrate my sons 21st birthday due to “COVID”. My son is extremely clinically vulnerable so we only had 15 people in our garden, of which, another 5 lads had the same condition! Tim was respectful, engaging, chatty and simply amazing at his art!!! I would highly recommend Tim and will certainly be using him again in the future. Thank you Tim for making our Plan B so memorable!!! :) More...

Hi is an energetic and keeps children attention all the time , It was a nice experience for the kids
How long have you been interested in magic?
I have been a professional magician for many, many years. I guess that means I bring a great deal of experience to my shows!
I specialize in both stand-up (cabaret) and close-up / mix-and-mingle magic -entertaining both children, family, adult, and corporate audiences.
I have entertained at birthdays, dinners, garden parties, product launches, film premieres, schools, christenings, bar-mitzvahs and weddings. In 2012 I presented my first public stage show “Mind and Magic” at the Leicester Square Theatre in the heart of London’s West End, and since have had two other one-man shows (“Unbelievable”, and “Something Fishy”) at the same theatre. In addition, I have entertained with close-up magic as part of the World Stars of Magic show, in Las Vegas, USA, headlined shows at The Magic Circle, and presented a lecture there for my peers. I have also worked as magical advisor on films, tutored other magicians in their craft, and organised and provided other entertainers for a host of events. Phew!
Take us through your show – what can we expect?
That depends - my magic shows for children parties, adult birthdays, and corporate cabarets are all very different.
If you head to my website (www.timbarnes.biz) you'll get a flavour of all of these, plus a lot of pictures and testimonials too.
What do you love most about your job?
I love bringing a sense of wonder -whether this is you youngsters seeing magic for the first time, teenagers who see magic as just a challenge, or corporate audiences who are often surrounded by a breadth of other distractions.
The reactions that I get, and the letters/emails that often follow reassure me that my magic has helped them to have a very special and memorable day, and that I’ve done my job!

What inspired you to start your own business?
Is not entertaining by magic the best job in the world?
Why should our clients choose you?
I bring many years of experience, and are blessed that many families, companies and other organisations hire me to return year after year. I entertained one family on 15 occasions as their 5 children are older, and their neighbours on 15 occasions! I have presented a cabaret show for a church 'Light Party' in South London for 17 years in a row, entertained at a Fun Day in West London for 10 consecutive years, and provided close-up magic at a 'residency' in North London for since 2009.
Hopefully this is the best testimonial. But however many shows I present, I know that every event is different, unique, and very special. I won't be the cheapest magician you could hire, as there are plenty of youngsters (and olders) just starting out, but I work as hard as I can to be the very best
...oh, and I also have a white rabbit!
