I first met James at a friends wedding and asked him to come and do some magic at a work event. Both times he absolutely blew people’s minds and was the topic of conversation for days afterwards!! I wouldn’t hesitate to hire him again for any kind of event! Super professional and super talented!

James was absolutely incredible! Originally we thought he was a bit expensive but me and my husband are so glad we booked him and managed to fit him in the budget because he went above and beyond our expectations! All of our wedding guests have all had such amazing things to say about him and we haven’t got a bad word to say! His magic was outstanding, his hosting was perfect and his entertainment for the kids was incredible. Couldn’t recommend him highly enough! He certainly help made our day perfect and one everyone will remember 💜 10/10

We asked James to perform magic at our wedding and he was FANTASTIC. Mesmerizing, captivating and simply unforgettable. He really went above and beyond, the guests were all so impressed and he even performed past his scheduled time to ensure we (bride & groom) got to experience the magic. He was professional, charming and left us with a special gift to remember his part in the day - which we are so grateful for. We would not hesitate to recommend James to anyone!

James attended our wedding reception at the Italian Villa, Compton Acres 29th Dec 2023. He was outstanding, energetic, enthusiastic and so personable. He was really thorough with his preparations before hand and on the day. During the wedding speeches James turned into Jamie Jigsaw for the children to enjoy his circus workshop. Again, every child loved their workshop and returned with a variety of wonderful balloon creations.Without doubt, we'd highly recommend James and his amazing wife who stepped in at the last minute to record our wedding day as she is a videographer. Her incredible attention to detail shines through in our video recording of our wedding day.An awesome team to work with. We will most definitely be using James Maidment Magician again.

So impressed with James at a wedding fare we booked him straight away. He did not disappoint in any way. Communication was excellent right from the booking , during the day (just to check we were happy and enjoying our day) and a personalised thank you after the wedding day. There was so much laughter and gasps of disbelief from tables all thanks to James. He compared the whole day and ensured it all ran smoothly. I absolutely recommend James 100% I don’t have our professional photos back yet but our photographer followed James to each table so I’m expecting some great photos

We hired James for my Dad's 60th birthday party at the weekend and WOW - we're so pleased we did! At the start of the party James entertained a crowd of children (aged 2 - 9) with a circus workshop, balloon modelling and magic wands. They absolutely loved it! James then moved around the tables, performing close up magic for everyone. He's tricks were incredible and had everyone crowding round to watch. James made the party even more memorable, and I have no doubt his magic will be a talking point with our friends and family for a long time! I whole heartedly recommend him, an incredibly talented magician, and a really lovely guy.

I was lucky enough to win James’s recent wedding entertainment package competition and I am so grateful that I did. James was the magician I never knew I needed! He was brilliant from start to finish, he amazed all our guests with his magic and so many of them said how fantastic he was. He even made some balloon figures for the children! I would wholeheartedly recommend James, even if you’re unsure about getting a magician, you need James!

James was fantastic! The guests at our wedding - young, old and everyone in between, absolutely loved him and we had so much positive feedback about him. He arrived early so came down to our ceremony venue to entertain our guests during photos which was completely unexpected but very appreciated. He had a great manner and is captivating. He had a great range of magic and the trick that he did for us was brilliant - what we loved most about it was how much effort he put into it! We are so, so pleased that we had a magician and even more pleased that it was James, we can’t praise him enough! If you are thinking about booking a magician for an event, please go with James. You won’t regret it! My husband is already thinking about how he can hire James for future work events. Thank you so much James!

Jamie was great fun and full of enthusiasm when he provided entertainment for a prize giving supper that I organised at my sailing club. He went around the tables doing tricks and then did a show, both of which were very convincing but also delivered so well creating lots of laughs. Had lost of complimentary feedback from everyone there.
