5/5 from 342 reviews
Photo of Richard John - Magician Richard John - Magician "We have had Richard perform at our restaurant in a holiday park and he was fantastic. All the guests were impressed. We were that impressed that we also booked him for our daughters wedding. Everyone we spoke to after said that he was fantastic and spoke about his act. Richard gets everyone involved. It’s not a stand up act, he goes around and performs at tables and around the bar etc. We will be booking him for next year and also the kids workshop that he does."
