Thank you to Matt, for mystifying us

Matt provided the perfect touch of extra entertainment we needed to amuse the dinner guests at our 50th Anniversary Party, going from table to table. As close as we were, none of us could spot the secret of his amazing tricks. Thank you to Matt, for mystifying us with such charm!

Everybody thoroughly enjoyed it.

Hired Matt to entertain guests at a 90th birthday party. Everybody thoroughly enjoyed it. Matt was prompt, professional, & polite. He worked all the tables, and groups of guests up close and did exactly the job I'd wanted him to do - and at reasonable rates. Would recommend

I cannot recommend Matt highly enough. He is a very charismatic young man and carried out his magic tricks with confidence, charm and a very professional manner. Our party were left dumbfounded by the tricks he performed and there is no doubt in my mind that he is destined for great things in the world of magic. Book Matt and you will not be disappointed.

Matt was head and shoulders above the rest

We wanted a close-up magician for a special family Birthday party, and researched those available in Kent. Matt was head and shoulders above the rest, and was very helpful and accommodating when we phoned. He was absolutely fantastic, and everybody loved him. We were enthralled with his magic, and his friendly banter was perfect. Our ages ranged from 5 to 70, and we couldn't stop talking about him throughout the evening. We would thoroughly recommend Matt to anyone who wants a fun and entertaini
