What a fantastic night with magic and mentalism! For a room of 250 people to be entertained going round the tables and as the event started was a big ask but Francesco was entertaining, funny and amazing all in one. Would not hesitate to rebook!

Francesco came to a friends birthday party we had set up at their house. This was a small gathering of friends. Francesco was prompt on arrival and set up quickly. He captivated us for over an hour with amazing magic and mind reading skills. We enjoyed it so much, we continued talking about it the next day! Highly recommend him for his relaxed and easy going style as well as adapting his act to accommodate a variety of events. My friends have already said they would hire him for their wedding next year! Thanks again! More...

Wow! What an amazing talent! Everyone was astonished, mesmerised and totally entertained by Francesco. My daughters wedding was at home in a marquee and we ask Francesco to just walk into the garden and do his thing. No one knew he was coming and it was lovely surprise for everyone. Wish we had booked him for longer. Not only an amazing talent but also a lovely nice genuine guy. Loved meeting him and would thoroughly recommend. Thank you Francesco. More...

Me and my new wife Antonia recently got married and had our after do at temple newsam, where we required his services. Franco was very professional. He communicated well, showed up on time, even stayed longer than I paid for as a little thankyou. Everyone I spoke to cannot speak highly enough of him, he Is excellent at what he does and is simply mind blowing. Cheers once again for contributing to a fantastic day pal. Very highly recommend 👍 More...

Dave Pearcy
A true professional. The run up to the event was professional and done with great communications and discussions.
Franco turned up at the event early and was prepped and ready to go.
He amazed the birthday girl first and gathered a crowd and then spent the next hour and a half mingling with with the guests and wowing people with card and mind tricks.
Everyone who attended has commented how great he was, and it made the event.
He needed little management, he just turned up and got on with his mingling magic.
Worth every penny, everyone should have a magician at your party or event wether that's a big event or a small party like ours was.
If your debating whether to have a magician or use Franco then my advice don't deliberate, just do it you won't regret it!
Thanks Franco,

This is the second time that we have had Francesco at one of our functions, the first was totally incredible and I did have reservations that a second booking might be simply a repeat of the first.
How wrong was I. His performance, manner and professionalism were absolutely top drawer.

Franco is an excellent mentalist! Our guests were really amazed by him and he kept them entertained in an astonishing manner during our party which had about 100 guests. Many of our friends asked us where we found him actually and wanted to know more about him. You would not regret getting Franco for your event, he will make sure that he gives you the best. Also, on a personal level he is a very calm, mature and gentle person to talk to, so altogether it was a wonderful experience for us. More...

We hired Franco for my husband’s 40th birthday party as we wanted to do something a little bit different. I am so glad we did. He amazed our guests from start to finish with his truly amazing magic. I can’t actually put into words just how good he is. Not only that, Franco is a genuinely nice person to deal with and was not in a rush to get out of the door once his time had finished. I would 100% recommend. More...

Hired Francesco on Sat. 13 Jan 2024 for a 60th birthday with 17 people in a restaurant in north Leeds. Despite much close scrutiny from hardened sceptics, he baffled everyone! A truly entertaining and perplexing performance. Highly recommended - you will be amazed. Nice guy, modest fee, could not have asked for more. More...
