“We hired Ian for our 50th Wedding anniversary,  guests were mixed ages from 20’s to 80’s. It was a joy to hear the gasps of amazement and shrieks of laughter as he worked his magic around the room. His magic certainly helped to create a wonderful atmosphere and lifted our enjoyment of a very special occasion.”

“Ian came highly recommended to us and performed at our wedding in December, he was nothing short of spectacular! He was great at entertaining all our guests and getting different people talking during the reception, during the meal it was perfect and people were kept thoroughly entertained while waiting for their food. He also found time to make sure he performed to my husband and I and they were some of the most magical moments of the day (excuse the pun!) His performance itself is mind blowing and we will never understand how he does what he does! Ian was also incredibly supportive during the booking process as we went through numerous date changes thanks to Covid.”

“Ian was excellent right from the start; he was easy and accessible to discuss what exactly we wanted, had great communication skills and wowed our guests throughout the evening. It really added a special touch to our day and I would highly recommend to anyone!”

Not only because the illusions are remarkable but he is one of the nicest people you will meet. We used him for chances festival and I can’t fault him.
