Jay Adkins Mind Magician "Just wanted to drop you a line to say thank you very much for bemusing many of my guests on Saturday night. The close up magic went down very well and kept people talking trying to figure out how tricks were done! They didn't know I had arranged a magician and all said what a good idea it was. Thank you once again" Based in Kidderminster, England (50 miles from Leicester) Jo Evans

JezO "An evening at the JezO car crash magic show was amazing, the whole audience was entertained to an evening of magic, laughter and endless laughter . The show captured my attention from the very start with such a fast pace of a wonderful mix of magic jokes and endless props that combined led to the best night my family and I have experienced in such a long time truly amazing not to be missed. Wow, what a night my head is still spinning trying to work out the tricks. Thank you JezO" Based in Cambridge, England (61 miles from Leicester) Johnhenry Williamson - JezO car crash magic
