Soooo funny

Had so much guest feedback on how great Chris was, so pleased we booked!! Not just the magic, which was amazing, but also how funny he was! My husband and I and a few close family and friends got a separate show as we'd been off taking photos and it was so entertaining, left us with huge smiles on our faces and on an even bigger high as we went into our wedding breakfast! Thank you Chris!!

We had Chris perform at our wedding on 28/05/23 and he was absolutely incredible, he is so lovely and genuinely funny with an incredible talent! All of our guests absolutely loved Chris and haven’t stopped talking about how good he was, he really did keep our guests entertained all evening. Without a doubt 100% worth every penny! The tricks he does are absolutely outstanding. Thanks again so much

Fantastic magician/entertainer

Fantastic magician/entertainer, wouldn't hesitate to recommend Chris. Our guests were raving about him, original tricks and hilariously funny to boot. If you need an act to spice up your occasion get Chris you won't be disappointed.

Totally Amazing

Chris was totally amazing at our wedding. We saw him at another wedding and thought he was so hilarious and it was such a fun addition to the day that we had to book him! Not only was he a great magician (our guests were trying to figure out how he did everything the next day, and failing), he's also such a comedian and great showman, such a great vibe to have around on the day. He also managed to capture some great videos on the day which was so nice and such a special touch!! Incredible.

Intimate wedding feedback

You need this guy! Chris, thank you so much for your fantastic performance on our wedding day. I and my family are still astounded as to how you did all of it. It was funny, creative and so so clever and created so many hilarious photo opportunities too. 100/100 I can't wait to have another excuse to book you again. Thank you, Fran

Weston Hall Wedding

Words cannot describe the difference having Chris at our Wedding made to the overall day. The cherry on top of the cake! Chris, you were amazing and both myself and my husband and our families were blown away with your talent and it will forever be the highlight of a perfect day. We kept you a secret from our guests meaning your magic was even more of a surprise. We can't thank you enough for ensuring our guests had the best time. Already looking for another opportunity to book you again. Absolutely fantastic and highly recommended!

Squeals & Laughter!

What can I say? Chris was absolutely amazing, just mind-blowingly awesome! Would highly recommend and so pleased we booked him for our wedding. So many guests have commented on his wizardry and all I remember is hearing squeals and laughter coming from his audience whilst having our photos taken. A massive thank you!

The Magic was amazing!

We booked Chris for our wedding in November, and Chris's magic tricks thrilled our guests no end, including myself! The magic itself was amazing, but that coupled with the awesome banter made it a truly memorable performance. He made everyone's day even more enjoyable and helped make our wedding unforgettable.

Over the moon!

Chris did an hour set at our wedding and we were over the moon! Really professional, on time, flexible with the working environment. The magic itself was amazing! We had a wide variety of guests and everyone enjoyed it and couldn't work out how the tricks were done. Definitely made our reception exciting and a little bit different. Thanks so much Chris!
