Photo of Martin Wildish Martin Wildish "Martin came to us for daughters 50th birthday party, he was absolutely brilliant, he kept everyone entertained, he went round all the guests doing different magic tricks , I don’t think he repeated the same trick twice, he had us all amazed, we would definitely recommend Martin and will book him again . Sue x" Based in Bolton, England Sue - Birthday Photo of Magician Resh G Magician Resh G "I recently hired Resh to entertain our guests at my son’s 30th Great Gatsby Birthday. I have received floods of positive feedback from our guests regarding Resh’s magic act, he certainly left the guest bewildered. I would highly recommend booking Resh is you are looking to add extra entertainment to your event, I thought that I might have over done it with having a saxophonist at our function alongside a magician however, it was perfect."
