R.S.M was fantastic. We did not have too much spare time in our wedding to be entertained, but the few tricks we saw amazed us.
He was polite, entertaining, and we genuinely had no clue how he did the tricks. It was very special that he wanted to do a personal performance to us.
The rest of our guests mentioned how much they enjoyed his performances, and how he added value to our wedding

Simon is fantastic, he has a friendly and professional manner and delivers an amazing range of close up magic, which leaves you wondering ‘how did he do that ! ’. This review is based on a private show that Simon gave recently for six people at an anniversary party. Simon is very easy to book and communicate with. 5 stars More...

Sicro magic (red suit magic)
Performed at my little boys 6th birthday party, I am thoroughly pleased with everything what happened from start to finish.
The children were entertained non stop for two whole hours and even when Simon was packing up he let me continue to borrow his music. The magic show was awesome and the children really got involved my son got to do a magic trick along side which made the birthday boy feel super special.
After games and the show each child got a balloon made which were all fantastic from unicorns to bow and arrows.
Would highly recommend!!

Great magic and great baloons for the children attending
Margaret Cracknell

Just wanted to say how pleased we were with Simon, whose magic and balloon artistry amazed us all beyond our expectations.
SIMON proved to be a really lovely guy, with great empathy and understanding with regard to the children in our celebration party, held at home (bearing in mind the ages
ranged from 5-15). He was great fun, and very kindly with his humour towards them. His balloon characters were a real hit, and his expertise astounding.
The adults were suitably impressed with Simon’s magic, which was not only entertaining but on the highest professional level, especially as this “close-up” magic left us
in no doubt as to his superb skills. His sense of humour was great, along with his one-liner jokes!
I would definitely recommend Simon, whose talent really impressed us all. His ability to relate to all levels is a great credit to him.

We were running late with the Wedding Breakfast, I called Simon to see if we could put back an hour - No problem what so ever. Simon kept the guests entertained & intrigued through his performance. Would highly recommend Red Suit Magic to anyone. Thank you Simon More...
Iain
Red suit magic was great with the kids and requests for various balloon designs. This settled them down and became intrigued by the magic tricks especially when you thougt it waz over there was still more to the trick. Will be first choice for next event we have. More...
Richard
I watched 2 of his tricks very closely more than once and tried repeatedly how they were done. Particularly the one where 5 of us chose a card and when he turned the pack (it was in view all the time) over the whole pack had the value of the card written all over it. Excellent routine and not just sleight-of-hand card tricks either. Recommended More...
Magician
He arrived in his red suit on time and gave a good, amusing performance both in the Bar before the Dinner and during the Dinner.

How long have you been interested in magic?
I started magic when I was at school. I was 10 when I got my 1st magic set and quickly became a regular at my local magic shop. I continued throughout college and worked in a hotel as part of my university degree. I found that my magic was a great way of engaging customers in the bar. My magic continued to grow, In 2008 I moved down to Exeter with my wife, joined some magic societies and clubs and never looked back. I now perform as my full time career whilst looking after my 2 children during the day.
Take us through your show – what can we expect?
My close up magic has to be seen to be believed. I pride myself on not just being a card magician. I like to use objects borrowed from the spectator such as rings, coins, pens, wine glasses, watches etc. I love magic where the effect happens in their hands and the spectator is the magician. My routines have been perfected over years of performance and are guaranteed to give your event the wow factor thats talked about for years.
What do you love most about your job?
I love getting the reactions and smiles from my spectators, creating that moment of magic that they will remember for years to come
Why should our clients choose you?
I am extremely passionate and dedicated to the art of magic, I am professional, reliable and you will always get my best performance to meet your requirements.
