From the very first moment, he had the entire room captivated. It wasn’t just the magic that amazed us, but the way he connected with everyone and kept the energy high from start to finish. He brought guests into the performance, kept everyone laughing and engaged, and delivered one incredible moment after another. Every trick felt fresh and exciting, and the reactions from our guests said it all. Matthew is not just a magician. He is a world-class entertainer who knows how to make any event unforgettable. If you are planning any kind of celebration or special gathering, book Matthew Welsby. You will be so glad you did." Based in Arlington, Texas (175 miles from Austin) Noah Ivy - Magic show Photo of Peter Mills Magic Peter Mills Magic "My mother hired Peter Mills in 2000 for my son's 8th birthday party. My son was really into magic at the time. Peter performed a great show. The kids, and my mother and myself were thoroughly entertained. I know that was a long time ago, but Peter Mills is an excellent magician and my son loved him. We saw him in a store a few years after the show. He still remembered us and doing our show he is a very friendly, warm and professional person. If you are looking for a magician to hire for whatever your event is, look no further. I guarantee you will enjoy his performance. Thank you Peter Mills for giving my son Adam one of the best and most cherished memories he has."
