Hi, my name is Robert Bone, and I am a professional magician and mind reader, entertaining at events across Dorset.
I entertain with fun demonstrations of sleight of hand, memory feats, psychological reading and hypnotic suggestion. I have a naturally dry wit; creating an exciting, fresh, lively and intellectually stimulating genre of entertainment. Perfect for creating a talking point at any event!
Dorest Magician and Mindreader
I grew up in the New Forest area; and later moved to Poole, and then Blandford Forum. I still perform in those area, as well as many events in Bournemouth.
Because I regularly travel nationally it’s nice to doing bookings back on “home turf”, where I know the area and don’t need to depend on follow the sat-nav to find the venue – though trying to find some of those hotels in Bournemouth can be more than a little challenging on a dark December evening!
Over the years I must have performed at weddings and events at pretty much every major (and quite a lot of smaller) wedding venues within Dorset.
I also perform at corporate hospitality events, awards galas, trade shows and private parties across the UK (and even internationally); and can entertain whilst mingling with guests during a reception, between the dinner tables as well as a stand-up cabaret show.
Wedding and Party Magic in Dorset
You can book me with confidence, having turned full-time professional in 2006 I have a wealth of experience, and should the worst happen I am covered by £5 million Public Liability Insurance.
You can rest assured that your guests will be in capable hands seeing some amazing entertainment. Whether your guests all know each other, or are strangers and need something to break the ice; my interactive performance (whether on stage or close-up) is a real conversation starter.
A Luxury Magical Experience
The performance is as entertaining as it is baffling and creates a fantastic experience for your guests. The style is full of comedy and hands on interaction, as well as creating a memory your guests will remember for years to come.
I can perform close-up magic in a variety of settings, whether mixing in a wedding reception, at the dinner table, stand-up on stage or promote your company at a trade show or exhibition.

Robert is THE best magician I have ever seen. I’ve booked him three times for events over the last 10 years, the last time was last month at our wedding. He wowed all the guests, making sure that everyone had a chance to see his amazing magic. A few of our guests had met Robert at previous parties and were excited to see him perform again. Highly recommended! - Emily C. - 10 Jun 2026

We thoroughly enjoyed being entertained by Robert at my Mum’s 90th birthday lunch party. Friends and family of all ages were enthralled by the magic and it got everyone talking. As well being a skilled magician, Robert does an amazing job of working a room of people, whether they are seated at tables or standing around chatting. I would not hesitate to recommend him for any type of gathering. - Aline R. - 23 Feb 2026

We had a wonderful time with Robert Bone as our speaker. We learned a little of the history of magicians, picked up some useful hints on how to cheat in cards and were amazed at his mind-reading talents. A thoroughly enjoyable afternoon! LEGS, Everton, Hampshire. - Margaret R. - 05 Feb 2026

It doesn’t happen very often in life that you are genuinely blown away by something utterly fantastic, but that is exactly what happened when we booked Robert Bone for Ratcella.Robert is an absolutely amazing magician. A wizard, if I may.The tricks Rob performed throughout the festival were simply ridiculous. Even now, people are still talking about them and trying to work out how on earth he did what he did.Unfortunately, the weather wasn’t on our side for part of the day and we all ended up sheltering under the marquee. In hindsight, that actually worked in Rob’s favour, as it gave him the opportunity to move around the guests, engage with everyone personally and perform his incredible close-up magic at close quarters.The reactions from friends and family said it all. Faces were filled with astonishment, disbelief and wonder. The nervous laughter and giggles that followed each trick came from people simply not being able to comprehend what they had just witnessed.One particular trick Rob performed on me was completely off the charts. It left me and the rest of the guests utterly dumbfounded.What impressed me just as much as the magic itself was Rob’s professionalism. He remembered the names of the people he was performing for and would cleverly refer back to them during later tricks with other guests. It created a personal connection and had everyone laughing even more.And it wasn’t just the adults who were captivated. The magic he performed for the children was thoughtful, engaging and heart-warming. The expressions on their faces were absolutely priceless and worth the booking fee alone.If you are looking for a magician for a wedding, party, festival or corporate event, look no further than Robert Bone. He is incredibly talented, utterly professional and a genuine gentleman.In fact, Rob performed for longer than he needed to because he was so committed to ensuring everyone had a fantastic experience.He brought an extra touch of magic to Ratcella and helped make the event the success it was. I will 100% be booking him again.Thank you, Rob. - Matthew S. - 16 Jun 2026

We hired Robert for our special birthday party and he was such a delight! Robert's friendly and humorous demeanor (and his magical superpowers) made the night so fun! Robert is a great communicator, informative and thoughtful from booking right through to the event - he even stayed longer than planned and made our birthday very special for us and all our guests. Highly recommended!!!! - Dan - 11 Jan 2026

Robert did a presentation on the History of Magic to our group. His enthusiasm and energy had the audience glued to his tricks. One hour flew by we could have listened and watched for hours more. Truly entertaining full of history and the art of slight of hand. I highly recommend booking Robert . - Tony P. - 18 Jun 2026
