Latest Kent Close-up Magician Reviews

Matt Barber AIMC* - Close-Up Magician
Matt Barber AIMC* - Close-Up Magician - Close-up Magician - Kent Event Type: Birthday Party 19th November 2025
Fantastic! Contacted Matt for a 30th birthday event. We had a meeting over video chat to discuss options and for him to show me some examples of his work. His knowledge and experience was great and the final plan worked perfectly. On the night of he arrived early to ensure the surprise was not spoiled. He was an instant hit with everyone, and his magic was truly amazing to watch. He was not stagnant, but mingled seamlessly with the crowd ensuring everyone got a show. My friends and family all mesaged me after the event congratulating me on such a fun suprise and all credit to Matt for that. I would not hesitate to hire him again if the need should arise in the future.
