Magic of Iain Shaw - Close-Up / - Comedy Cabaret Magician - Sheffield, Yorkshire and the HumberEvent Location: Asquith Primary School, MansfieldEvent Type: Children's Magic Show6th December 2019
Iain was excellent, the children thoroughly enjoyed it and were so excited. Our children don't get taken to shows of any kind so seeing live entertainment is really special for them. Staff have all commented how good Iain was and how it all 'worked' whether the children were 3 or 11!! Certainly value for money. We are very grateful.

Iain has enhanced our cruise with his fantastic magic act. It was the highlight of the entertainment. Very professional show with mind reading tricks that puzzled us all. He took the time to speak to us afterwards and showed us some close-up magic using a Rubik's cube. A really friendly and approachable chap.

Iain is a great Magician. His magic was very slick (and magical), sorry couldn't resist. Joking aside, his shows were all excellent and his close-up displays in the nightclub were jaw dropping!
