Absolutely terrific!

Jim was great. He had all our staff spellbound and totally engaged throughout his performance. He took time to ensure everyone was involved and had as all baffled by his performance which was truly magic! Would thoroughly recommend.

5 Star Review

Above and Beyond the Belief

From the start of the process to the end of the performance Jim was totally professional, communicative and helpful. As for the performance itself he had 16 people young and old(er) in the palm of his hand for for an hour with his routine . The party was a ‘special’ birthday treat and Jim took the time to make her night returning to to repeat tricks that may have been difficult for her to see ( due to the size of the group) and repeated them for her benefit as well as teaching her a trick of her own. The birthday lady said it was her best birthday since she was 10 and Jim played a large part in that. Book him and enjoy
