Easy to communicate with, responded quickly to emails and added the extra ‘wow’ factor to my 50th birthday party.

My guests were super impressed, and even though I saw a few of the tricks a couple of times as I was taking Jimmy round, I was amazed each time at what he did and how he did it and I never did quite figure it out! ! The look of amazement on people’s faces was a picture in itself. Extremely personable, reliable and very professional, I simply would not hesitate to recommend him.

Thank you so much Jimmy, it was a real privilege to have you at the party.

I hired Jimmy for my husband's 50th party and he was amazing!!
So many people told us how amazing his tricks were, and quite a few people said that they have seen quite a lot of up close magicians, but none as impressive as Jimmy!
I'm sure we will be seeing him again!

Jimmy came to entertain our wedding guests after dinner, and was instantly turning heads at the sound of people’s shock and laughter to his tricks. It really became a ‘me, do me next’ affair. A personal highlight for us was when Jimmy left our more . . . originally pessimistic friends both dumbfounded and delighted. Everyone was so impressed with Jimmy’s magic, he became a real talking point for the rest of the night and the following days. It was commented on multiple times that it was Jimmy’s warm, gentle and polite demeanour in approaching people to perform his tricks that made him such a pleasure to have there. Honestly couldn’t recommend him enough and will continue to do so, such a great addition to our day. I’m sure we’ll be seeing Jimmy soon at some friends events as he left quite the impression.
Great magician, great guy.

We had Jimmy at our 30th wedding anniversary party. His close up magic was absolutely brilliant. He had all of our guests puzzled by the trick He did. I cannot recommend him highly enough More...

Amazing!! Jimmy recently joined us at our company Christmas Party and was brilliant. His sleight of hand and card tricks were extremely good, and he kept us all very entertained. Not only is his magic great, his personality and ‘banter’ kept people engaged and desperate to know how on earth he did what he did! Would definitely book him again. More...

Jimmy was booked to surprise our guests after lunch at our Golden Wedding event and surprise them he did! One 8 yr old told me afterwards that Jimmy had made a ball pass right through his very hand into a beaker, totally believing it had really happened. Four year olds were entranced, 70 yr olds astounded, a very clever Magician indeed and a delightful entertainer. He certainly made our event magical, amusing and memorable - thank you so much Jimmy.

Jimmy came to our street party, (apparently for 300 people.)We had over 500 people, and he went up and down, without pause for 4 hours, entertaining both adults and children. Lots of people have commented that he gave huge enjoyment, to both children and adults. We really enjoyed having him, and would most certainly employ him again. A very nice man with a lovely manner.

Jimmy was, quite simply, fantastic. So many very different tricks leaving our guests of all ages talking long into the night about "How that was done" and still having no idea.

A really nice guy who exceeded expectations and very reasonably priced too.

Jimmy was terrific. He had a wide variety of tricks which appealed to the full age group ( 8- 75). He has a lovely easy style and everyone engaged with him. From a personal point of view, he was a pleasure to deal with and made a special evening even more enjoyable. More...

I’ve seen Jimmy perform a few times and each time his act gets more and more infuriating... because I just can’t work out how any of it’s done! Jimmy is engaging and is able to get whole groups of people involved and captivated by his magic, a fantastic addition to any event or party! 🎩 More...

I’ve seen Jimmy perform on a few occasions, he’s always absolutely mesmerising, charming and spectacular... the perfect combination for an A class magician. Would absolutely recommend x

Q&As

Since I can remember! It's been about 20 years since I first went into a magic shop and bought a couple of decks of cards and some beginner tricks. I loved showing my friends and family and it wasn't long before people were asking me to perform at their parties and weddings.

I love performing and entertaining people and it shows! I like my magic to be fun, inclusive and provide a unique memory and talking point for years to come. I like magic that is direct, powerful and undeniably mystifying! Over the years I have put together a repertoire that never fails to amaze and entertain my clients, and their reactions speak for themselves!

I'm a natural performer and in my element surrounded by new people trying to make an impression! Magic has given me way to share that with people and an outlet for my creativity and passion for wonder and mystery. It's a cliche but I never get tired of the fantastic reactions that magic provokes, it's a really unique moment!

After enough people asked to book me I guess! I worked as a waiter for a while and would do some magic for my customers. They used to ask for a business card and my website and then I realised I might not have to wait tables forever!

I'm professional, polite, and excellent at building rapport. I've built my business up from word of mouth and repeat business. My performances will leave your guests and clients laughing, amazed and wanting more!
