However, it’s not just Dorset and the South West I perform in! I have entertained in Somerset, Cornwall, Devon, Manchester, London and Guernsey.

James was our host/entertainment at our wedding at the end of February and I honestly couldn’t recommend him enough! We met James for the first time at a wedding event and left the event after seeing others doing a similar thing, with the thoughts in our mind, we need to book this guy! Fast forward to other wedding events, seeing James again multiple times, him remembering us each time and us finally booking our wedding. We chose the full hosting package with James, and he really couldn’t have done a more incredible job. We were so concerned of there being a lull in the day, as with most wedding there can be, especially in such a big venue, but James ensured this did not happen, keeping our guests entertained all day. He helped guests as they arrived, pointing them in the right direction, and ensuring they were all looked after which was huge help. His skills mixing with so many types of people and keeping everyone happy really are incredible. Our guests couldn’t have spoke any higher of James, and to this day, not only do we have the special memories with him, but our guests still talk about him now!! Thanks so much James for making our special day so magical, literally. We really hope to see you again and wish you all the best, you really have an amazing skill you are genuinely such a great guy!

Sincere thanks to James for such an excellent performance for my 70th birthday celebration with my family. His magician skills were incredible and he engaged with each of the eleven people in our group, including my five grandchildren. James tailored his presentation to suit the occasion. I strongly recommend James.

James was funny, engaging and above all, a fantastic magician that our group - ageing from 5 to 70 - all loved. A brilliant addition to my dad’s 70th birthday who we would highly recommend and will certainly look to use again in future. Thanks, James 👍🪄

I met James at a party for my father in law's 80th where he delighted adults and kids alike with his tricks. He has a very easy going nature and was great with children. Would highly recommend.
