Paul Preager is coming to my 80th B'day Party on Sunday 22nd March so I can't give you a review yet, but I have seen him perform many times before so I know he'll be very good.

Thanks Roger, I've never had a review before the booking before! It's a preview I suppose. Looking forward to your party and meeting your expectations as well!

We had a Halloween party for about 12 children ranging in ages 3yrs -16yrs and 15 adults with staggered arrivals. Paul worked the crowd one-on-one as well as preforming to a group of guests at a time.
His tricks were simple enough for the children to follow and sophisticated enough to keep the adults entertained at the same time, adjusting to his audience.
On time, professional, great communication. Would highly recommend.

I booked Paul for a joint birthday party for my wife and myself to entertain 40 guests. His close up magic was incredible and the look of total disbelief on the faces of our guests will be a lasting memory.
If anyone is looking to book a magician I would not hesitate to recommend him.
Thank you very much Paul for such a fantastic evening

Paul gave a fantastic show. He engaged so well with everyone from children to us oldies. He even did a special one to one with a little grand niece who is disabled. Great value for money.

Paul came along to my 60th afternoon tea party, with approx 20 guests, including my grandchildren. What a wonderful show Paul, we were all so impressed with your wonderful magic , and your personable nature. My 6 year old grandson couldn't stop talking about you, and even tried to imitate some of your magic later in the evening. Thankyou for making my b'day so memorable.

Paul is a very personable entertainer, and brings the audience into the show. His levitation trick was the highlight of the evening - and certainly not a trick!
It happened! We all enjoyed the table magic as he went around the tables, and this was the intro to the 40-minute magic show after the meal. A nice man with some amazing magic!

Paul is absolutely amazing! Paul attended my circus themed 30th birthday party in Swindon and amazed my guests from start to finish. Paul was funny and had everyone enthralled by his magic!

Thank you for the couple of hours you spent with us at the Livermead House Hotel, Torquay.
The talk at the breakfast table this morning was how could he have done this, how did he do that I was watching at all times.
Everyone was amazed at the tricks you did, it certainly helped our wedding day go with a swing.

Paul Preager attended our 50th Wedding Anniversary Party on a very hot afternoon with guests ranging from 4 to 80years of age and everyone was enthralled with his magic. He was very relaxed going from table to table, very experienced and comments from our guests was "how did he do that trick" !! Would thoroughly recommend Paul for any occasion. It was purely "magic" More...
Angela McDonald
By far the best show we saw at the 'Shaftesbury Fringe'. It was a scorching hot day which must have been very uncomfortable for Paul during his performance. Nevertheless the show was excellent and the close up magic enthralling. Look forward to seeing you there in 2019 ! More...
Anne Bogie
Paul Preager is a true professional. He performed 'close up' magic at my husband's 80th birthday dinner. He moved around the room discretely, making sure not to disturb guests who were eating. Everyone was entralled with his magic and he proved to be a highlight of the entire evening, much talked about by all. He is a very personable man and we would recommend him without reservation.

Diana Aitken
Very many thanks for all your magic - you amazed everyone, provided a nice focus and interlude during the meal, and gave each table a different range of your stock of tricks - so it was fun comparing notes. Thank you so much, it certainly helped to make the party a huge success. We will spread the word! D Aitken. More...

Just wanted to let you know that we have received so much positive feedback from our guests on Saturday. They were left puzzled and astonished at the tricks you performed and our younger guests were certainly inspired by your magical skills.
Your contribution to the evening made such a big difference, not only providing entertainment but encouraging people to get together and socialise. Thank you once a again.

I chose Paul because based on his profile, he is very experienced and qualified. He is a really pleasant, modest, humorous and entertaining professional who engaged well with everyone and captured their attention. Paul performed a variety of magic tricks and also mind reading which were amazing and baffling. We are still trying to work out how he did them! I would recommend Paul to anyone who would like a Magician to astound their guests and keep them guessing! More...
