Excellent.

Fern Britton, TV Presenter and Phil Vickery, TV Chef
Absolutely Fantastic.

James Yard, Bristol University Geology and Geoscience Society (BUGGS)
At our recent Annual Ball, David stunned everyone with his silky smooth magic. He was professional and non-intrusive in his manor, whilst being friendly and approachable. People were left in awe by the seemingly impossible things he was doing! He was an invaluable addition to the evening’s activities, and one that I would recommend to any event!

Melanie Sykes, TV Presenter
WOW Oh my God that is AMAZING.

Linda Williams, Sales Manager, Coppid Beech Hotel & Swan, Streatley
Unbelievable magic under our very noses at dinner, with mixed reaction of stunned quiet amazement – how did he do That, to shrieks of glee and the unexpected joy of disbelief. Professional deception at its very best – a real must have at a dinner party.

Rachael & Tony Batty, Wedding Magician, Clearwell Castle
Anyone looking for a close up magician look no further than David. Two months on from our wedding in Feb 07 and our guests still talk of him and his trickery. We had a fantastic day and thanks to David entertaining our guests was easy, in fact our guests become quite competitive when vowing for David’s attention, this didn’t seem to faze him and he always had a new trick up his sleeve!!!!! We really couldn’t recommend him enough he really is worth every penny.

S J Pitchers, Craddy Pitchers Davidson
Having spoken to everyone who attended I am assured that they all thoroughly enjoyed your performance. Your programme of magic tricks was highly entertaining and the way in which you engaged personally with either small groups or individually was just what was needed. I would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone wishing to hire your services and thank you once again for your contribution in making the afternoon so enjoyable.

Nick Hester, Business Manager, Cavendish Maine LLP
Thank you for attending on Saturday night. It was a pleasure to meet you and you will be pleased to hear that I have had many conversations about you since so thought you would appreciate your feedback. I think it’s fair to say that you exceeded everyone’s expectations! I thought the standard of magic you performed was very high (many people have said that you are the best they have ever seen and I would agree with that) and you also worked the crowd very well such that everyone experienced plenty of your work. You seemed to be able to find small groups in the room every few minutes and I am grateful for you staying so long. Even my mother in law said to me yesterday that finding you was an ‘inspired idea’ and ‘made the party’. Several of my guests have asked me for your details and I hope that more bookings come your way as a result. I thought your programme was excellent. Just enough that everyone saw 4 or 5 very different pieces of magic but not so many that your ‘show’ required more than about 10 minutes with each group. It is also fair to say that the audience was completely spellbound by your performance and this morning my office is still asking how on earth you got the cards to change colour and how the kiwi trick works – absolutely brilliant. Thanks again and I hope to find another occasion when we can experience your magic again.

Julia & Richard Polley, Farnham Common, Bucks
Made the hair on the back of my head stand up... How you can achieve such stunning magic so close up its amazing, Everybody was still taking about you weeks after... Everyone at the party was really impressed with what you did and found it fascinating and most entertaining!

Robin & Dawn, Bristol, Wedding Magician
David attended our wedding and performed during the reception. Our guests were mesmerised and were still talking about how wonderful he was weeks after. He moved amongst them with ease, popping up in the groups and wowing them with his captivating close-up magic. We would recommend David as a vital asset to any wedding – a definite talking point, without taking too much focus away from the bride’s dress.

Gina, 60th Party, Magician London
We thought your performance brilliant – it lifted my husband’s birthday party last Saturday to new heights ( not to mention the gravity defying playing cards with people’s initials on which landed on our ceiling!) I asked my daughter who had recommended you how she thought you did it and she said ‘It’s simple… it really IS magic! We thought so too. I would highly recommend you for any event with people who want to be entertained in an unusual and fascinating way (and am sure you’ll hear from some of our guests in the future). You blended in very well, made sure you gave everyone a chance to see some magic and were generally a great success.

The best time for a Wedding Magician is at the reception, during the meal or even at the evening reception.

Restaurant Magician: People usually come into a restaurant for two reasons. First, because they like the food, second because they like the atmosphere. A house magician can add something very special to the ambiance of a restaurant. People love to see close up magic especially when it’s being performed up-close.

Guests who are entertained by a table magician will tell their friends about the great time they had in the restaurant and they’ll come back!

It’s a challenge to try and determine exactly what makes someone choose one restaurant over another. Interestingly it just might be that little something extra that tips the scales. The addition of a tableside magician to the entertainment budget of a restaurant insures that many people will cast a favourable eye in their direction due to the amount of value they are getting for their dining pound.

There are of course many other benefits to having a tableside magician.

In the rare event that something goes wrong in the kitchen and the food is delayed a manager can send the magician over to the table while the problem is being rectified with the guests being none the wiser.

It may be that the waitress is delayed in delivering the check. A house magician can stop by the table and buy a few minutes and the guests will never recall that they had to wait a few additional moments for the check.

A table magician not only can entertain the guests but be the perfect solution for everyday logistical problems that occur in any busy restaurant.

The restaurant magician is perfect for honouring people who come into the restaurant to celebrate special days such as anniversaries, Wedding, Birthdays etc. The tableside entertainer can extend personal greetings from the restaurant and perhaps leave some memento behind making the guest feel that he or she was special on their special day. This almost guarantees word-of-mouth advertising that money could never buy.

“Our customers and staff thoroughly enjoyed your presence. Your sense of humor and timing were a real asset to our dinner crowd customers”. Frankie and Bennys

“David’s incredible magic tricks and super personality has been a tremendous asset to the growth of our Sunday lunch”. Jim, General Manager TGI Fridays
