We were part of the wedding party of Lisa & Mark 2/9/2026 at Crowcombe Court and was entertained by James who was a very professional entertainer, he made a lot of people laugh and was amazed by his magic talent. Truly a memorable day made by James and enjoyed by all.

To have a magician of this quality for my 80th Birthday was the best... we all had a fantastic time, he kept us laughing as well as some outrageous magic and James was having a ball, it's the best thing we could have done, enjoyable, fun, laughter the time went by so quickly but the show was something we will all remember for years to come....

I booked James as a surprise for my now husband on our wedding day. James was absolutely incredible and my husband was in awe of all his tricks. He also kept the children entertained with balloons. Wedding breakfasts can be a little bit mundane but James made it into another amazing fun filled part of the day.

If you are planning a special event and get the opportunity to book James, do it! He is amazing. Not only a fantastic magician but so funny, kind and personable. He had our wedding guests dumb founded and roaring with laughter. He even did a special trick just for the bride and groom which was very touching and so clever. No idea how he any of it but it was so entertaining. Thanks James, ur a star!

First class magician and entertainer for a wedding we recently attended. James made the whole day so enjoyable. Trying to think of my own excuse to host a party so we can enjoy the experience all over again!
