We booked Russ for our wedding breakfast and to welcome and mingle amongst our evening guests. After our special day we were absolutely inundated with really positive feedback from all of our guests. They said not only was the magic mind blowing but that also Russ had a fantastic way about him, even whilst he was pick pocketing everything you had with you. We can't recommend him highly enough. You were amazing and you are certainly being talking about widely in our friendship groups.
Anita
I must tell you that the feedback from the evening event for you was fantastic, everyone I spoke to mentioned how great you was and what a difference to the evening you made. Hope to work with you again in the future!

We booked Russ for our wedding and he absolutely smashed it! He mingled around the guests and performed tricks to a few at a time, making it a lot more intimate and interactive. I can't recommend him enough, he was an excellent addition to our wedding and I'm sure our guests will remember him for a long time.

Russ performed at a corporate event that I organised and he was absolutely amazing! He was very professional and ensured that he circulated all of the tables and kept the energy up in the room. His magic was very impressive and he certainly left everyone amazed and slightly baffled! He was a pleasure to deal with and I would definitely recommend Russ to add a little bit of magic and sparkle to your event. Thank you Russ!

Russ is pure magic! I am so pleased we booked him for our wedding day! He was amazing and blew everyone away with his amazing tricks. I have handed his details out so many times I've lost count. A* class magician and an all round great guy!

Russ was so brilliant at our wedding. All of the guests were genuinely so impressed, we have been getting messages all week about how amazing he was! If you are thinking about booking him...do it- you absolutely won't regret it! Thank you Russ.
Daniel
Russ was absolutely amazing on our wedding day, wowing guests with his fascinating magic tricks! The close up magic was a brilliant way for our guests to be entertained whilst we had our photos taken; Russ even came round to the tables when we were seated for food to confuse and amaze us all, we still don't have a clue how you did all of that magic!
Dionne
The best money we spent on our wedding!! When he told us about his magic and master of ceremonies package and what was included, we booked it straight away! Everyone loved him and made the day extra special, our guests said they have never been to a wedding like it. What Russ offers is something totally unique to a wedding giving the day that extra wow factor. If you wanting that something extra unique you have to book Russ for the full day package, I cannot recommend him enough!
Daniel
My company booked Russ to attend a large healthcare industry event. He was fantastic! We had a lot of footfall at our stand and crowds formed quite a few times during his performance. He did his homework prior and had some branded playing cards made just for us too. Later, he entertained our clients at our evening event and really kept it from being a standard drinks and nibbles thing to a very memorable occasion.
Paul
Russ was superb on our wedding day keeping guests thoroughly entertained with his magnificent array of close up magic. Had so many compliments from our guests And people were still trying to fathom out his card skills even at Breakfast. We would highly recommend Russ for any occasion.
Emma
I wasn't sure what to expect from a virtual magic show but Russ was recommended to me for a company event and I'm so glad we went ahead! Given he was performing to an audience of around 40 people over Zoom, it was fantastic to see the level of engagement he got. Lots of laughter and surprised faces! Highly recommended!
Louise
Great guy, booked Russ for our daughters wedding. He arrived on time and entertained everyone for the whole 3 hours he was there. Everyone was mesmerised by his tricks and wanted more. At times he had to peel himself away from guests to work the room and outside as they all wanted more from him. Some tricks to this day we will wonder how he did them. He was talk of the night and the following day. Definitely recommend him and will definitely book him again for another event.
Geoff
We booked Russ for our wedding on June 9th to keep the guests entertained for 2 hours before the wedding breakfast started, all anyone can say is WOW, he was absolutely brilliant not only very approachable but everything we could have hoped for. His close up magic was fantastic and how he does some of the things is beyond belief even now. I would highly recommend Russ to anyone who is thinking of hiring a magician for an event. Trust me you will not be disappointed.
Murray
Russ did a virtual magic show for our family across the UK and US. He was very entertaining and did an outstanding job keeping everyone engaged and included. We are still perplexed by some of the magic performed. Thank you Russ for an outstanding performance!!

Linda
Russ came to entertain 60 people at my 80th birthday party. A lovely entertaining man, who noticeably went to tables where conversation had lapsed. Truly mesmerising, I’ve had letters from friends who came to the party who found his entertainment amazing. The bottle passing through the table still has a relative most annoyed as she really can’t figure out how he did the trick- true magic?! Would thoroughly recommend Russ to everyone of all ages.
Chris
Simply Amazing!! Had all our guest's amazed with his magic! So Glad we had Russ to perform at our party. Professional, from the start to the finish. Can highly recommend
