Absolutely incredible. We asked Darren to do a work party for us over lockdown as the quiz was starting to feel a bit stale. Wow, we were not disappointed. All of the work team said it was the best performance they’d ever seen and there was an infinite amount of gasps and amazed faces. Darren even went over and above to involve the families and younger people in the audience. A huge Thank you from all of us at Sales Geek, Darren, you were incredible.

So it's almost been a full year since Darren performed at my wedding! the last year has just passed me by so quickly, I forgot to leave him a review. Me and my husband got married last December and Darren honestly made the day even more special. Both of us, and all of our guests, were absolutely blown away. Not only was his magic amazing, but his customer service and communication cannot be faulted! I would 100% recommend Darren to ANYBODY and I promise, you wouldn't regret it!
