Photo of johnhMagician johnhMagician "Mind Blown.... John is brilliant, i genuinely have no idea how he does what he does... he worked the room brilliantly at our wedding last week, spoke to everyone and astounded everyone, including those who thought they knew better :) We booked him for 17:30 - 19:30 and it was the best time, what could have been a bit of a lull ended up being one of the most spoken about sections of the day!! We would highly recommend John... he was a pleasure to deal with and his work speaks for itself, thank you!!!" Based in Liverpool, England (16 miles from Chester) Lisa Blanchard - Wedding Photo of Ben Harris Magician Ben Harris Magician "I've known Ben for a number of years and have been amazed at his magic and how they have developed over time. After attending one of his shows, where he showed just how good he was at magic and illusion, I asked him if he would come to entertain my grandchildren and their friends at my home. Ben was great! My grandchildren and their friends were enthralled with all the magic tricks he performed which were entirely suitable for the young ones. Ben has the ability to entertain children and adults alike, gearing his show to his audience and demonstrating his versatility with all ages. He is a real showman and is a pleasure to watch! I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone which is interested in magic and illusion, you will have a really enjoyable time!" Based in Liverpool, England (16 miles from Chester) Ronnie Wilkinson 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 (18 miles from Chester) 21st September 2026 Ceri Dowdal - wedding Photo of Markhele The Magician Markhele The Magician "Absolutely amazing performance!

Thanks again , All the best . Ricky" Based in Skelmersdale, England (25 miles from Chester) Ricky Photo of Lookalikes magic Lookalikes magic "we have just returned from a five day cruise which was 1st class especially the team of entertainers. The Laurel and Hardy Tribute Act were absolutely wonderful mixing with passengers, providing non stop close up magic all day every day .and all in character. Some of the reactions to their skills produced the best photographs, especially from the dance team leader who could not believe what she saw happen with her very eyes. A magical moment to treasure . I believe there are one or two pictures on Rob Grahams Facebook file" Based in Southport, England (32 miles from Chester) David Whittam - cruise entertainment 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 .
