Reviews

It's always nice to get laughs and applause during and at the end of a performance. It's even nicer when I receive emails days and even weeks afterwards from people who enjoyed the entertainment.

Here are just a few. For more please see the links at the bottom of the page with letters from happy customers from all over the UK.

"Just wanted to drop you a short note to say a massive thank you for helping to make our recent Sales Event truly memorable. Magic can so often be a bit cheesy (in my humble opinion) but you managed to provide funny and intriguing tricks that everyone was amazed at. The mind-reading act was particularly good and had the whole audience stunned" David Tinker - HBOS Plc

"Get a proper job!" Celia and Dennis Hudson

"Thanks for putting on such a super show at Rowley Manor on Saturday. Everyone said how much they enjoyed it including one or two of the cynics who thought they would know how it is all done (but didn't!). Sue certainly thought it was great and we managed to keep your part a surprise even if she may have suspected just a little about the party itself. Thanks again for making it a great evening" Peter Shipp - EYMS

"Astonishing table magic, our clients were most impressed. Alan's magic injected style and energy into the evening and gave our event real stand-out from a typical dinner party. Really easy to work with." Sophie Payne - Palmer Hargreaves Wallis Tomlinson

"I wanted to thank you again for a Magical Evening on Friday.Your tricks and wit were truly superb and second to none. This is the second time I have seen you now and I look forward to the next.

"Just wanted to say a big thank you for your help in making our wedding day so special last Saturday. Your magic is amazing - Everyone thought you were fantastic. You will be the talking point of the day for a long time to come.You and of course the weather! Seriously, we couldn't have imagined such a great act.  It helped us to achieve our aim of integrating folk from different families that hadn't met and gave them a great talking point. We won't, of course, hesitate in recommending you to others. Thanks once again" Sarah and Jonathan Oatway

"Thank YOU so much for doing such a great job - you were very popular, and everyone was impressed. I thought you were great and will definitely book you again for our future events. I have seen some other magicians in the past and have become quite cynical, but I have to say that I was really impressed yesterday evening with your skills. So thank you very much." Harriet Halfhead - ING Real Estate

"All of our guests were totally impressed with your fantastic demonstrations of close up magic and were still talking about your amazing skills for the rest of the day.  Even the 'smart alecs' had to concede they were utterly bewildered.I have to say that it was probably the best decision that I ever made concerning my daughter's wedding and I couldn't recommend you highly enough to anyone who was considering you for their event.  Many people commented that it wasn't just your magic but also the 'patter' that made it all so enjoyable." Ron Harrison - Father of the bride

"It was nice to finally meet you last night, and I just wanted to thank you for adding to everyones enjoyment of Ruths' party. Everyone said how amazing you were. Thanks again and we will certainly use your services again in the future." Karen - Browns, Hackney Road, London

"Just a quick note to say THANK YOU!! for your fabulous showing at Annabel's the other evening. You were terrific and people really enjoyed having you there. There has been much discussion since then about How did he do it?! for various tricks you did. The mind-reading (polina's drawing, guessing the word I was thinking of from the book), the cigarette through the card. The "Fin loves Magician card" repeating itself were all very popular as was your spontaneous sense of humor. It was all really fantastic and we have been talking about how fun it was since then. It made me feel like a kid again. I will definitely invite you back for another evening some time soon. Congratulations on your talent which I am sure comes with many years of hard work. Let me know if you are ever performing somewhere in London that I can come and see you again."
Colin, Rhone Group, London

Eva Orton, 1st Floor Restaurant, Notting Hill, London

"Hi Alan. I just wanted to say a quick thank you for your appearance at our wedding on Sunday. Your show was spectacular and you even managed to impress some of our more cynical guests, which has to be admired. I have had many congratulating us on what a wonderful day it was, all of them mentioning you as the high point of the day, i feel it will be something that wont be forgotten in a hurry! I will certainly recommend you to anyone. Thanks again" Kate and James Geddes, West Kirby Sailing Club, West Kirby, Wirral

"Hi Alan, Just wanted to say thank you so much for your entertaining magic on 28th September at Sun Pavilion, Harrogate. The feedback received was amazing and everyone is still trying work out how you put the bottle through the table and put the ring on your key fob. It really was great to hear everyone laughing in amazement. Thanks again and I will definitely recommend you for future events we do." Sharon Whitty, Marketing Co-ordinator, SHS International

"Just a line to thank you most sincerely for appearing in the after dinner cabaret - very much appreciated. You were excellent - funny, humorous, entertaining and clever (like the Balloon effect) - the guests thought you were great. I know that because they told me so. Hope you enjoyed the evening as much as we did." Michael Shepherd - Hon. Secretary - York Society of Magicians

"Dear Alan. I've been meaning to write to you for the last 5 weeks :-) just too busy enjoying married life! However, Sarah and I do want to pass on much of the praise that was heaped upon you after your work at our wedding. Everybody has wanted us to pass on how wonderful you and the act was. Many, many, said that you completely destroyed their scepticism and they now totally believe in magic.The children loved your show as well and were as equally amazed as the adults (which as you know is quite an achievement). However, I have to say one of my best images of the evening was looking over across the field after you had finished and seeing you playing rugby along with the lads. You get mega magic points from me for that. We will recommend you to our friends and I'll certainly remember you for work events. Good luck and many many thanks once again." Stephen Whittle, Manchester

"Just to say thanks for Saturday night, you went down a treat. You really set the night going and people are still talking and trying to work out how you do it. Although some said it's their partners you should make disappear not just the ring!!!! I would certainly recommend you to anyone who wants a good night. Any way once again thanks very much and all the best for Christmas and the New Year."
Les Campbell, Wolstenholme International Limited, Darwen

"Hi Alan, Thank you so much for Friday evening. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the table magic and the cabaret act. I will definitely be recommending you to my friends and colleagues!
