Great Entertainment.

Rob was a delight to deal with when making the arrangements for my daughter's birthday celebrations. He took time to personalise his entertainment to our family and made sure he engaged with everyone there, including the 5 year old grandchild. His performance was thoroughly engaging and mystifying. Thank you Rob.

Great entertainment

The Big Foolini attended my 70th birthday party along with my family. Rob was amazing with his magic right from the start, my grandchildren were all amazed by his tricks. Even the adults were left wondering how he did the magic. Would definitely recommend him to any wanting a magic performance.

We had an event at our Community Centre and one of the attractions was The Big Foolini, he was doing one on one magic mingling with the public, then he done a performance on the stage for about 45min very entertaining. Had very good feedback how enjoyable he was!

Wonderful! More than Magic - Rob creates Memories!

Rob was simply wonderful at my 60th Birthday lunch at Lympstone Manor, Devon. From the moment he arrived, he brought such warmth and ease to the room. He was completely professional, but also so kind and genuinely lovely and engaging with everyone. He has that rare gift of being funny and personable while making each guest feel individually included from the youngest to the oldest. The laughter, the amazement, the smiles at his amazing magic was infectious – everyone adored him. Rob brought such joy and energy to the celebration and truly added something very special, creating real magical moments and I am so grateful he was part of it. Thank you Rob, you were just fantastic! Highly recommend. 5*****
