"Kathy is amazing! OMG! Kathy was just phenomenal! I booked her for 2 hours...she ended up staying about 1.5 hrs longer because she was so busy! I don't think she ever stopped! She was quick and everyone wanted a caricature drawing! I will definitely hire her again! Thanks Kathy!!!"

"The first time I saw Mimirichi, last year at the Edinburgh Fringe, I knew I would have to put them at the core of my fiendish and cunning plan for world domination. Mimirichi would leave everyone weak with laughter and begging me for more of the fun, and, of course, I would be a benign autocrat, sending Mimirichi out on a world-wide mission to sponsor their own brand of warm fuzziness and community spirit. In this cold, competitive world Mimirichi liberates hearts and minds and promotes participation and collaboration. The awful thing is that they are only at the Riverside Studios for TWO nights (until 1st July)! Please, please, rush down to Hammersmith and secure tickets for yourself, all your family (especially menopausal aunts and grumpy old men), your evil-minded neighbours, your traffic wardens and rouge traders, your bank manager and your boss. The four-man creative team at the heart of the mad, mad world of Mimirichi are superb physical performers who start off with some simple slapstick and build to a breathtaking break-dancing finale. But their secret lies in their generosity and the way they engage us with their world. This is a place where the imagination can transform paper into anything we want it to be and half of the fun is the delight in collaborating with them to make these transformations happen. It is a clown theatre for young and old alike, because it's full of the familiar and everyday. Mimirichi's Paper World is peopled with recognizable characters. There's the little guy with the broom overwhelmed by litter bugs on the rampage. And perhaps it's the same voracious paper-munching clown evolving into a despot who gets himself crowned with pomp and circumstance, and, to push the point home, also devours handbags and jackets from among the audience. I guarantee that by the end of the 85-minute show you will be shouting, screaming, pelting each other with paper, passing great swathes of the stuff back and forth and even eager to step onto the stage and be transformed into a goal-keeper for a paper football penalty or a beauty queen. At the core of this age-old humour there is an odd but recognizable logic at work, an absurd logic, or even illogical logic, perhaps, but once we accept the rules it all makes perfect sense (something like when Charlie Chaplin's starving tramp cooks his boots and eats them with perfect table manners and social etiquette). Mimirichi's gags are reminiscent of these extended comic scenarios from the Commedia lazzi and the silent movies. For example, a man desperate to find a public urinal is given increasingly complicated directions by a street cleaner in which each round of mimed instructions seems to take the longed for relief further away on a journey that includes swimming and punting across a river. Mimirichi put us in touch with a part of ourselves we don't pay much attention to these days. They belong to a long tradition of European clowning that includes the great zannis of Commedia dell'Arte, Chaplin and Keaton, Max Wall, Mayall and Edmondson and so on. This is an eternal and universal form of clowning, the carnivalesque, the Lords of Misrule, rather than the sanitized comic turns fed to children in 20th century circuses. In days gone by, this type of carnival event was considered dangerous by princes and municipalities, so that the travelling performers where often borderline outlaws. Happily, Mimirichi are completely legit, but they still can show us a few things that authoritarian rulers feared: that what usually passes for logic is suspect, and that a creative and imaginative response can present alternative solutions to traditions we take for granted. Perhaps, we should send them to the G8 Summit. If you cannot make it down to the Riverside Studios tonight go instead to a tattooist and have MIMIRICHI inscribed on your forehead, so that you will recognize their name should they come to a venue close to you at a future date."

"Pedro leverte over all forventning. Rett og slett et trylleshow i verdensklasse. Pedro har en fantastisk formidlingsevne og grep rommet fra første sekund. Jeg leide han inn til min egen bursdagsfeiring noe som viste å være en perfekt arena hvor han kunne briljere med sine triks, historier og nærmagi. Pedro tok tidlig kontakt med meg for å høre om jeg hadde noen spesielle gjester han skulle trylle for. Med litt extra informasjon om de, så skreddersydde han et unikt show basert på historiefortelling rundt nevnte gjester. Dette skapte full latter og engasjement blant gjestene. Pedro lykkes dermed i å tilpasse showet til anledningen og er definitivt en å anbefale til slike forekomster. Han er ryddig i kommunikasjonen, stiller til rett tid og bød til og med på mer trylling selv om tiden var ute. Stort pluss i boken. Showet ga mer-smak og det blir ikke den siste gangen vi ser til Pedro! Vi vil ha mer! :-D"

"Mick is always a pleasure to have at our events. He is engaging with everyone and somehow always manages to get through the large queue of students that forms when they see he is there ready to draw them! His drawings are great and we always get great feedback from everyone who comes away with one, highly recommend"

"Sieko didn’t disappoint! With his virtual shows, he manages to include everyone as if they were right there in person. It didn’t matter that we were all on different time zones. His tricks are precise and mind blowing. Even when the “hard to impress” people in the room thought he may of messed up...... Sieko completes the trick and TOTALLY leaves us all speechless and amazed! In awe of his talent!!! Can’t wait to see him in person one day, on a bigger stage when COVID no longer rules our world."

"Exceptional magic animation! A huge thank you to Florian for dazzling us and our guests, who were completely stunned and left speechless. The next day, people were still talking about his tricks, each one more surprising than the last. Beyond the performance, Florian is an adorable, available, and highly professional person. I would recommend him to anyone looking for fantasy, surprise, originality, and laughter at their wedding. Thank you once again. - - Originally published in French (mariages.net) : Animation magie exceptionnelle Un grand merci à Florian qui nous en a mis plein les yeux ainsi qu’à nos invités, qui ont été bluffés et sont restés bouche bée. Le lendemain on nous parlait encore de ses tours tous plus surprenant les uns que les autres. Au delà de la prestation Florian est une personne adorable, disponible et professionnelle. Je le recommanderai a quiconque aurait envie de fantaisie, surprise, originalité et rires à son mariage. Merci encore."

"Kathy Was great. We used her services for our Daughter's 6th Birthday. The Caricatures were a hit with all the kids, plenty of "body" or "uniform" options for boys and girls to choose, posted on large boards she has with her. Kids loved it. Would recommend people use Kathy. She was prompt, professional and very patient with the kids (5-6 year olds)."

"As an event manager, we are often considered only as good as the vendors we hire. MagicIAN is the kind of talent you want at an event- I received numerous compliments on his performance for a well-attended children's birthday party this weekend (he walked around doing tricks at the tables and also put on a stage performance), he was early, friendly and read the crowd well. I will definitely hire him again for child and adult parties. -Yelp Review 11/7/2016"
