Photo of Illusions South Africa Illusions South Africa "6We had the pleasure of working with Leon and the Real Magic Productions team at the 2026 East Coast Radio House & Garden Show, and they were an absolute pleasure to work with. Leon brought fantastic energy, professionalism and creativity to the show, and the performances were incredibly well received by our visitors. What stood out most was his ability to engage with audiences of all ages and create those unexpected moments of entertainment that really add to the overall event experience. Leon is passionate about what he does, reliable and incredibly easy to work with. We loved having Real Magic Productions as part of the show and would happily recommend Leon and his team to anyone looking to bring something engaging, memorable and a little bit magical to their event.

What an incredible experience that was. 30 second blasts of everyone's favourites through the ages. He had the clubhouse singing along for around an hour in each round. This is the most genius corporate event idea i have ever seen. Thank you Harry for an incredible evening. The evening even included a singing of Flower of Scotland with Rugby Legend John Allen in honour of Scotland beating England in the 6 Nations during round one of the Music Bingo. It was absolutely incredible. Thank you Harry for an incredible evening."
