Amazing magic entertainment for our wedding guests at Eastnor Castle by Owen. Had everyone spellbound with his close up magic all day. Just about everyone was given attention, they are all talking about their magical encounters. Fab day in a fab venue and Owens contribution helped to make it an unforgettable day for many. Thank you very much, top magician. More...

We recently had Owen at a National Grid company party - he was fantastic from being communicative ahead of the event right through to the end of the evening. His magic tricks literally made jaws drop and we had so much positive feedback including people asking for his details for future bookings! Would 100% book again. More...

Owen was absolutely amazing, we have had so many comments from our guests saying our magician (Owen) was out of this world. It was a pleasure to have you at our wedding and I wouldn’t hesitate on booking you again for future events. The booking process was easy and whenever you needed to be contacted you were on the other end of the phone/email. We would like to thank you for making our day that extra bit special! Glen & Beth!

Owen was a surprise at our Wedding, not only for our guests but for us; organised by our Father of the Groom! From the minute he arrived and surprised us with what he was there for, he had everyone hooked! ! And the pictures taken of him showing people his magic tricks are some of the funniest we have from the day!!Every guest and table of guests told us how amazing he was, how different is was to have a magician there and how clever his tricks were. We had Owen for during our reception drinks and the wedding breakfast and the room was in constant laughter and excitement, waiting for what his next trick might be. We had guest ranging from 2 to 90 and he was an amazing memory for everyone! He made everyone believe magic really is real and he gave us some incredible, unforgettable memories on our wedding day. It wouldn’t have been the same without him! We can’t recommend Owen enough!! More...

We hired Owen to entertain our guests as they arrived at our Wedding reception venue and as you can tell from the photographs, he wowed and amazed every single one of our guests. He is truly a top class act; we're still trying to work out how he did any of his tricks, they were all spectacular and all our guests were equally impressed.

Well where do I start , well I went to a wedding fair at Woodside Hotel where my daughter had booked to get married at , and as soon as Owen did a magic trick I was hooked and booked him right away for a surprise for my daughter and soon to be son in law , straight after the ceremony he pretended to be a waiter then told them he was a magician and I had booked him as a surprise, he was awesome and went to the bride and groom and did table side magic for all the guests , there faces of amazement was enough for me , and through out the meal the comments were fabulous, then one of my granddaughters who is 8 was teary as she was going to do the toast but couldn’t in the end so was upset , my husband went to Owen and told him we had an upset 8 year old bridesmaid, then Owen went right over and that was that , the video I have is so cute of her smiles of pure amazement and he changed her mood then she was fine , many of the guests wanted him to go back to them to do more magic , we didn’t get one negative comment, I also had a brain wave to ask Owen also to be there for the evening reception so when guests cane would make them feel at ease which it most certainly did , I would very highly recommend Owen to anyone and if you can book him for evening reception as well so other guests don’t miss out on his superb talents , Owen I would like to thank you for your very hard work , ALL my guests and bride and groom were amazed and loved you ! !!!

I am always bowled over by Owen and his talents ... he is amazing at what he does and can cater to all ages and audiences - I have seen him perform one on one, larger crowds and all sorts of events from Weddings, to smaller parties, to corporate events - he can easily draw a gasp and leave people in awe at his magic from adults and children alike - super excited to have him at my wedding in the Summer - can’t wait! He really is MAGIC!Edit: On the 9th June 2019 Owen attended the best day of my life, the most perfect day of sun, love, laughter and MAGIC! He wow'd our guests both during drinks and at the Wedding Breakfast, some of the photos of the guests reactions are absolute gold. I know for a fact how seriously Owen takes his magic, and his routine is practised, varied and impossible for us mere mortals to comprehend! His quick wit and humour will have even the most cynicalist cynic whoop with amazement.

Owen was a magician at a wedding i attended. Felt like another guest, completely blended in. Well, until the tricks started. Having never experienced close-up magic before (except that off tv) i was blown away, it was truly “blink and you’ve missed it” moments, but it was one amazing moment after another. I truly believe wizards exist now. Owens tricks, personality and humour make him a perfect magician to have at, pretty much any event. Can’t praise him enough More...

We used Owen 5 years ago and some of our guests still comment , unprompted , on how good he was.

That was 2014Now in 2019 we used Owen again for a family party to celebrate 5 years of marriage and 50 years since we first met and we couldn't believe how much he blew everyone away. He is a charming and funny man who knows his trade as magician so well. He delighted little ones from age 9 up to the oldies in their 80's.

Where to start with Owen - amazingly talented and genuinely a nice guy. I have seen Owen perform on a number of occasions due to working at moor hall however having him perform at my own wedding was to another level. From the moment I booked him at the moor hall wedding fair there was constant contact in order for a smoothly run day, I had him as a surprise to my partner to which Owen could play up to. Everyone was memorised by his performances and literally left speechless. Not only does he perform magic but gets involved with the wedding aswell, he mingles with the guests, works with the photographer to get the best possible shots, entertains staff aswelll as guests and even appears in the music wedding video we had. Our wedding was at Pendrell Hall in Codsall and can honestly say wherever the guests were Owen was too.A strong recommendation and a must have to give your wedding that extra little bit of MAGIC.Thank you again Owen!

I don’t even know where to begin. Owen not only are you a great magician but your also a really nice polite man. We went for a wedding tasting event at Aston Marina where Owen was there to entertain future brides and grooms. At first I tried to shrug you off as ive seen many magicians and thought you was ‘just the same as any old magician’ however how wrong was i! My husband Ash loves magic and he kept trying catch you out but to Ash’s dismay he couldn’t. We were both shocked and absolutely flabbergasted at what you could do. Ash just wanted to follow you round he was absolutely mesmerised. We told all our family and friends we had booked you and nobody seemed that bothered until they met you, everyone couldn’t praise and speak highly enough of you. At our own wedding you didn’t disappoint, all our guests kept coming up to us saying how fantastic you were and kept asking where we had booked you from. Not a single guest was disappointed everyone loved you but not only did they love the magic you performed they liked how for example if they wanted slip away to get a drink, toilet etc you’d let them, you wouldn’t pester them or annoy them! Owen you truly are fantastic. We loved having you at our wedding and ill be keeping you in mind for future events or if any friends or family want a magician.

Owen Strickland was amazing. Our wedding was at New Hall Hotel and Spa on the 27-04-2019.

Q&As

For about 15 years. I never had the stereotypical "magic set" as a child. It was my later 20's that I got bitten by the magic bug. By this time as a nightclub manager I was good at dealing with people, so once I started magic I found that part of it easy. I started working professionally in 2011 and have built the business up to a level I have over 70 weddings booked in 2016

You can expect fun, laughter, amazement and awesome memories of the event. I dot take myself too seriously and as well as doing amazing magic, I truly believe it's important that has a good time and a laugh as well.
I perform tricks with not only cards, but money, jewellery, pens, paper, rope and all manner of items.
My firm belief is that magic should happen in they guests hands and that they play a let in all my magic. It's not me doing a " show", but mingling with guests and involving them as much as possible

I get to spend the most important day of a couples life meeting people who are there to have a great day. This is not only a great honour, and very humbling, but also incredible fun. Putting smiles on people's faces is THE best feeling ever.

Once I started doing the occasional booking for friends of friends, the amount of enquiries I was getting from guests there, made me think I should do this as a business. It's the best decision I have ever made !!

Because I am me, and I have my own style.
Clients can see I am one of the busiest magicians across the Midlands, which is backed up on my social media and website. I'm busy because I offer a top service which is reflected on the verified feedback I regularly get
