Excellent show

I saw Matthew last night in a performance onboard the Celebrity Silhouette. I was reluctant to see the show as I’ve seen several magicians onboard cruise ships over the years and they’ve always been mediocre at best, but my partner wanted to go and I’m so glad we did, Matthew’s was hands down the best magic performance I’ve ever seen.
Thank you, Matthew, for a truly enjoyable show, I hope you enjoy your time onboard!

Hi Leigh,

Thanks so much! I think this is the first time anyone has ever reviewed one of my shows on a ship. What a nice surprise. Please do come and say hello if you see me around so I can thank you in person.

Cheers,

Matt

Brilliant magician!!

Matt was absolutely fantastic. He did a selection of close-up magic at a small gathering for a friend's birthday party. His tricks were incredible—we were talking about them long after he had gone home! He was very friendly, funny, and engaging, and an absolute pleasure to deal with as we organised the particulars and logistics before the event. I would hire him again in an instant. If you're in need of a bit of magic (and let's face it—who isn't?), then I would certainly recommend booking Matt!

Brilliant magician

Brilliant magician, very entertaining and clever - we employed Matthew at our wedding reception in october, and he went down a storm. Nobody could work out how he worked his magic - would definitely recommend - an absolute must for a function - keeps everyone transfixed and entertained.

Incredible close-up magician

We hired Matt for a 40th birthday party to do close-up magic. He was absolutely fantastic- the magic he did was amazing. To top it all off he is a really nice guy too.
I have already recommended him for another event and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him again.
Thank you Matt- everyone is still talking about you - you helped start off a great evening.

Stars of Magic Show - Bristol

I booked Matthew and his team to perform large scale illusions in a family magic show that I produce. Everyone loved his act and I've heard nothing but good things from the audience. He was also extremely easy to deal with. Very pleased indeed. Thanks :)

Don't look further...hire Matt!

This is the second time we've had Matt do his close up magic at a party of about 75 people. The magic is incredible - coin tricks, card tricks, bending forks...all in front of your eyes. Simply amazing. In addition, Matt is engaging and really works the party getting everyone involved in small groups so they experience it up close. Matt is a true professional and an incredible magician. Can't recommend him enough!

UNIQ Family Wealth client event

Matthew, it is me who should be thanking you as our guests were absolutely amazed at your performance. My husband reckoned you were the best he had seen, so no problems about putting a review on your website. You really helped to make the night and I will definitely consider you for next year.

An amazing magician !!!!

Matt provided the entertainment for the annual charity fund raiser event at our studio.
So many baffled and totally happy faces around the room and he amazed everybody no only with his skill as a magician but also in the way he was able to work with everybody:)
I would fully recommend Matt and his skills for personal and corporate events of all sizes.

Memory Makers Ball 2018

Matthew and Kat were fantastic, very professional and honest from the start. Matthew took the time to put together the best programme for event, meeting our budget and entertainment needs.

I could not recommend these two enough. We wish they could have stayed longer.

Astonishing close up magic

We recently hired Matthew to perform 2 hours of close up routines at a garden party. We had over 100 guests and he worked the crowd fantastically. Everyone got to see and experience some of his astonishing tricks both children and adults alike. He is truly a gifted magician and a master at his art. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Matthew was a brilliant entertainer and I would recommend him for any special occasion. Several of our guests tried to catch him out but he was invincible throughout. He has an easy approach and was extremely popular among our wedding guests. I will be looking for an occasion where I can use him again.
