Hi there! I’m Robert, and as you probably guessed I am a professional Reading based magician, mind-reader and self-titled Demonstrator of Extra-Sensory Curiosities.
I entertain guests at events with a devilish combination of sleight of hand, memory feats, psychological reading and hypnotic suggestion.
Mix in my natural wit and it creates an exciting, fresh, lively and intellectually stimulating genre of entertainment. Perfect for creating a talking point at your party!
Professional Magician in Reading
I’ve lived in the Reading area since 2007, and currently reside in a little village close to Aldermaston (just a short drive, or an even shorter train journey to the city centre).
Being local I regularly entertain in the area and have been often featured in The Reading Post, Reading Chronicle and Wokingham Times.
I must have performed at most of the main venues in the region (as well as many smaller venues too!) including many hotels and country houses such as Reading Town Hall, Ufton Court, Wasing Park, Trunkwell Mansion House, Wokefield Park – and am the preferred supplier to many of these venues too.
In 2011 I performed an exclusive show at New Greenham Arts Theatre near Reading, and this also prompted an interview on Newbury Sound. Because I’m local (and like to keep things local!) I regularly attend Wedding Fairs in and around Reading, but I am also happy to arrange to meet up and discuss your requirements.
I can entertain whilst mingling with guests during a wedding reception, between the dinner tables as well as a stand-up cabaret show.
Kick start your party
You can book me with full confidence, having turned full-time professional in 2006 I’ve entertained at hundreds of parties, weddings and events. And should the worst happen I’ve £5 million Public Liability Insurance.
You can rest assured that your guests will be in capable and experienced 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.

Robert Bone entertained us at a U3A celebratory lunch for 120 people. The feedback we had from our members was high praise indeed as he amazed us all with his magic tricks during our reception drinks and throughout lunch circulating around the tables. We will certainly book him again for a similar event and recommend him very highly. - Lynn R. - 10 Apr 2025

We booked Robert for some entertainment at our winter wedding during canapés. After searching for hours and reading reviews we knew Robert would be our man. Rob is a great entertainer who was mingling with all of the guests and tailors his entertainment to suit. He performs loads of different tricks, magic and I suppose what you would call mind reading. I have absolutely no ideal how he pulls of some of his tricks (I’ve scoured the Internet trying to find out how he does it but couldn’t find an answer). I don’t want to dive into to much detail and ruin it so il leave that there. Really nice bloke, guests all liked him as he just walks round dropping in with different guests and groups and everyone looked engrossed in what he was doing. Drove up in an awful storm as well when others didn’t take to the roads. Big thanks mate! - Jordan C. - 17 Jan 2025

Absolutely fantastic. I booked Robert as a wedding gift for close friends to perform during their wedding reception. Beyond the jaw-dropping magic, the professionalism was top class. Every consideration was given as to how to work the room and entertain tables at key times, and everyone was impressed- especially the bride and groom. Thank you Robert, very happy to recommend. - Chris - 28 Jan 2025

Robert is FANTASTIC! He is a consummate professional, witty & charming ....and an INCREDIBLE magician. Our guests tried to second guess him and found he was about 10 steps ahead of them. Very clever card tricks and an extraordinary feat of mind reading marvellousness. - Nikki C. - 03 Nov 2024

I would highly recommend hiring Robert to any social event, and I am sure our paths will cross again with future bookings. Robert’s warm and witty personality shines through during his intimate performances and I think his adaptability to different types of personalities (we had a few engineers/developers) made a positive impact during our work event. His slight of hand is as good as anyone’s I’ve seen on TV, and we all loved the twist in the different tricks just when you think you’ve figured out how it’s done or what is going to happen next! - Richard B. - 11 Dec 2024

Robert caused an absolute sensation at my birthday party! He worked the room beautifully and had people talking through the evening and beyond about his tricks. And I got a special birthday trick which was amazing!! No photos because everyone was so engrossed in watching him! Really communicative pre event and early arrival on the evening. I can't recommend Robert highly enough. - Kate F. - 21 Mar 2025

Mind-reading in Reading
My style of performance is as entertaining as it is baffling and creates a fantastic experience for your guests.
It is (hopefully) full of comedy and hands on interaction, as well as creating a memory your guests will remember for years to come.
Whatever the reason: birthdays, Christmas, weddings, dinners, exhibitions, product launches, trade shows and corporate hospitality are just some of the events that can benefit from my magical experience.
