"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.

Chocolate the magician
"Chocolate performs regularly at our restaurant in Melville. Tables that get him stay twice as long and spend three times as much. He's an atmosphere multiplier. We won't book anyone else."
Wolflock Entertainment
"Your shows were absolutely amazing. Everyone enjoyed it."
The Amasingh Magician
"We hired The Amasingh Magician for our corporate holiday party and he was an absolute hit with everyone. Incredible, high quality entertainment that captivated even those who were skeptical. He was also a major pleasure to work with leading up to the event. Super professional and communicative. Would highly recommend for those looking for entertainment for their next event!"
Entertainment of Brandon Smith
"Absolutely AMAZING! Brandon worked the crowd and kept everyone entertained. We had a corporate event for about 600 people and he interacted with the majority of them with all positive feedback. One thing that really stuck out was that he remembered people who had seen tricks so he changed them throughout the night. Definitely recommend!"
Ian McCoy
"The Best entertainer in the UK - 5 stars.
"If you are thinking of using Ian for your event so not hesitate or waste any more time thinking and reading reviews... Just book him!!! Ian is down to earth whilst completely professional. He's funny, relaxed and looks the part whatever the event requires. Ian absolutely blew us away at our wedding and our guests will not stop talking about him! His close up magic is on another level, real magic! Honestly we were utterly amazed. He entertained the children for hours, and they were hooked. It made people laugh and relax. It brought together different friends and family to break the ice. He did a little stand up with us as bride and groom with mentalism and we still can't work out how on earth he knew what we were thinking!! Book him today""
