Highly Recommended

Darren entertained our small family group at our Birthday lunch held on Sunday for Grandad who was 80. He was enjoyed by all and engaged everyone from the 10yr old to the birthday boy himself with his mesmerising tricks and illusion s. Highly recommended 5*. Janet Moore

Very sociable and attentive

Darren went around the whole of our guest list and performed a great range of baffling card tricks, watch for the balloon one and his wallet reveal. Great value more than we expected.
