Photo of Ian McCoy 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"" Based in Wallasey, England 21st September 2026 Ceri Dowdal - wedding Photo of Matt Barber - Close-Up Magician Matt Barber - Close-Up Magician "We booked Matt to perform at our wedding at Hedingham Castle, and he was truly amazing. From our very first meeting, he completely blew us away with his warmth, professionalism, and talent. On the day, he engaged with our guests so beautifully, even where there were language barriers, and everyone loved him. He brought such joy, energy, and magic to our wedding, and we honestly couldn’t have imagined a more perfect evening." Based in Maidstone, England 11th February 2026 Alexandra Margarit - Wedding Photo of Joe Brown Magic Joe Brown Magic "Joe was great in every way from booking to performing! He arrived punctually to my mums 90th birthday party and delighted and fascinated all guests of a wide variety of ages. A charming young man who I would highly recommend! Thank you, Joe! (Already been asked to pass your details on to a couple of other people!)" Based in Halifax, England 17th January 2026 Julie Sarna - Birthday Party Photo of Tom Drudge - Close Up Magician Tom Drudge - Close Up Magician "Just popped into Bohemia in Brighton for a quick drink (20.12.25) and Tom came over to our table. Blew us away with his skillful close up card tricks. The 4 of us were all staring at his hands intent on spotting "how", but over multiple tricks could not spot it. We were very effusive in our enjoyment and praise, it was a surprise and delight to have met Tom and seen his skills. Have banked his details for future corporate events." Based in Brighton, England 21st December 2025 Charlotte - Bohemia- bar Photo of Chasing The Illusion Chasing The Illusion "We recently had the pleasure of experiencing Chase's magic at our Christmas party, and he was absolutely outstanding. His performance was on a completely different level — not just traditional magic, but truly mind-blowing mentalism and touch magic that left us speechless. His ability to read thoughts, predict choices, and reveal personal details with impossible accuracy had the entire room captivated. The mentalism routines were eerie in the best possible way — the kind that makes you look around to check whether someone must be in on it (they weren’t!). But the moment that everyone is still talking about is his touch magic. Feeling a tap on your shoulder or hand without him being anywhere near you is something you can’t fully explain until you experience it. It was surreal, unforgettable, and created that perfect mix of excitement and disbelief. On top of his incredible talent, he was warm, engaging, and effortlessly funny — the type of entertainer who instantly puts people at ease and gets everyone involved without ever making anyone uncomfortable. If you’re looking for entertainment that is unique, astonishing, and memorable long after the event is over, I cannot recommend him highly enough. Truly exceptional." Based in London, England 8th December 2025 Kras - Christmas party Photo of Blooming Circus Blooming Circus "If you are looking for a children’s entertainer in Sheffield look no further! Jay from Blooming Circus is an amazing magician and his circus workshops went down a treat with all the kids. I can’t recommend these guys highly enough" Based in Sheffield, England 1st December 2025 Tim Marston - Family Party
