A Truly Magical Experience!

We had James perform at our wedding and WOW! he was absolutely fantastic. He entertained our guests during the drinks reception and again in-between the courses of our wedding breakfast. He visited each table with amazing close-up magic that left everyone stunned. From balloon creations for the kids to magic that captivated the adults, he brought something special for everyone.

We kept James a compete surprise from not only our guests but our wedding party too and knowing this, he was discreet in his setup to the point even we wouldn’t have know he was there. None of our guests had a clue until he appeared, which made it even more exciting! The personalised magic he performed just for us as the bride and groom, was a real highlight and genuinely mind blowing. So many of our guests commented on how brilliant he was. We can’t recommend James highly enough, not only is he a genuinely lovely person to get to know, he is also extremely professional, talented, and a true magician in every sense!

Fantastic experience with James at a christening party. Friendly, fun with adults and kids. Great magic tricks that we could not believe!! Fantastic presence we would highly recommend and can't wait to see again. James was very impressed with my child's trick and interested in showing them where to find information. Thank you!! 😁

I booked James to entertain a group of 10 during my husbands 60th birthday celebration, as a surprise. James was amazing! Everyone thoroughly enjoyed his magic, he was a great magician, very easy going, and very entertaining. I would highly recommend James, and would certainly book him again.

James was amazing, his tricks were amazing, so glad we asked him to come and entertain us and our guests at our Golden Wedding party. Thank you James.

We had James perform some amazing magic at our wedding back in the November 2024, If we hadn't spontaneously met James during our wedding meal taster (also a mini wedding fayre) at beginning of the year none of this would have happened and we would have definitely missed out on some quality entertainment without realising so we're very grateful for that day, James gives such great aura, highly professional, the communication from start to finish was faultless, He made sure everything was planned/researched out perfectly. The whole wedding party thoroughly enjoyed it and were blown away, my wife and I sure as heck loved it, the kids absolutely adored James. He gave some memorabilia to remember his part in the day.

I heartly recommend.

James was one of the standout highlights of our wedding day! He performed MC duties alongside his incredible magic both close up and to the whole room. His charisma shone throughout, making sure everyone got a piece of the action, and elevated our gorgeous day to new heights. James is a wonderful person which is what makes him so good at what he does, as well as having exceptional, magical performances. We've even got memorabilia of his magic on our mantlepiece still to this day! If you don't have James at your wedding, you're truly missing out!!

Myself and my partner hired James for our wedding on 30.12.2024. Fantastic host, entertainer and a magician! Definitely breaks the ice between the guests, assists with some organisational aspects and brings so much energy! We had a fantastic mini magic show, which i absolutely loved! Shame i didn't recorded it 🙈😅
If anyone is in doubt, James is worth every penny! Every single one of our guests was in awe and had so many positive feedbacks on our choice to have him! Highly recommend! ♥️

Fantastic entertainment thank you :)
