“When my wife informed me she had booked a magician for our event I was extremely sceptical and thought that it would be an excuse to leave the room for a cigarette. How wrong I was, from the beginning Craig had me rooted to my seat. His banter and his magic had everybody spell bound, the tricks were awe inspiring and his chat highly amusing. The whole party were thoroughly entertained. After his performance was over, he was the talk of the night, everybody was trying to figure out how he had worked his magic and all full of praise for his performance. All 26 guests of a wide age range were totally delighted. I would thoroughly recommend Craig as extremely good value and give him a 5+ Gold Star rating.”
