Hi, I’m Robert Bone, and I am a professional magician and mind-reader. Since 2006 I have been performing magic at events (such as weddings, Christmas parties and corporate events) across Buckinghamshire. My close-up magic and mind-reading involves (fun!) demonstrations of sleight of hand, memory feats, psychological reading and hypnotic suggestion.
I have quite a quick wit, and love interacting with people. Combining this with high quality close-up magic makes fore an exciting, fresh, lively and intellectually stimulating genre of entertainment.
My magic can be performed at almost any event – and over the years I have performed at quite a selection! Whatever the size of the event I have packages to suit, and as well as close-up magic I can also perform my mind-reading cabaret show.
Renowned Luxury Magician for Buckinghamshire Events
Ok, I’m going to admit that at the moment I don’t actually live in Buckinghamshire – but do live close! 😉 As professional magician I am often required to travel nationally to entertain at events, and therefore I welcome bookings that are closer to home. I have performed at weddings and parties in across most of Buckinghamshire – and have been the recommended magical entertainment supplier to many venues in the area.
Of course, it isn’t necessary that your event is at one of those venues; but by booking a magician who is near by means that they are likely to know the area, know alternative routes, and where to park on arrival. This may be minor, but all helps give you peace of mind when booking.
I am regularly at events in Aylesbury, Marlow, High Wycombe and Burnham. (At one point I think I recognised every bush on the verge of the A404 I seemed to be going up and down it that much!)
Renowned Sleight of Hand Close Up Magic
Once you have decided you want to book me, you can do it with confidence. Clients often remark that the whole process is quick and simple, and I endeavour to have open communication and reply quickly and efficiently. If I don’t feel that I am suitable for your event I will be open, explain why; and even offer to put you in touch with alternative entertainers who will be more suitable. (It happens rarely, but from experience I know it is better in the long-run to know when something isn’t the best option for the client).
I quit the day-job in 2006 to become a full-time professional magician. That’s given me a wealth of experience and knowledge, and I use that to ensure that you get the best possible service from me. Once the arrangements have been confirmed I issue you with a formal contract breaking down the requirements and timings – letting you focus on organising the many other aspects of your event.
I am also covered £5 million Public Liability Insurance, and trade as a Limited Company.
You will also be able to relax knowing your guests will be in capable hands seeing some amazing magical entertainment and mind-reading that will be fun, engaging, and a topic of conversation long after the party has finished. Whether your guests already 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 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

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 - 11 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 attended our tipi wedding to do 1.5 hours of magic between dinner and the evening dancing. Just as we hoped, he fit into the running of the day really seamlessly, moving around the tables and then among the groups of guests as they started to mill about. We partly wanted entertainment for the kids but tbh the adults were probably the most impressed! He was friendly, quick to respond and professional throughout the process. Thanks! - Max &. - 07 Oct 2024

Robert was AMAZING!!!! Our guests at our wedding loved his magic and so did we. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND for any event, we were so glad we booked for our reception in august this year! Absolutely top bloke, Robert was able to circulate around our guest with ease and this was nearly 150 people. Thanks again Robert, we still don’t know how you did it?!?! 😂😂😂 Charlotte & Andrew - Charlotte - 19 Sep 2024

A Magical Experience In Buckinghamshire
I ensure that my performance is as entertaining as it is baffling. Although watching magic can be a little frustrating at times (it’s meant to be!), I perform it in a relaxed manner which makes it a fantastic experience for your guests – and something they will want to see more of. I integrate my own style of comedy, mixing it with hands on interaction – the result is a memory your guests will remember for years to come – and always link that back to being at your event.
I can perform close-up magic in a variety of settings; from mixing in a reception to mingling around the dinner tables – I often joke that I just need to be provided with a group of people, and I can work around the rest of the details. (Seriously, I’ve even performed close-up magic at an event where many of the audience were deaf, but was still able to communicate and entertain). As well as close-up magic I can also perform my mind-reading stand-up show on stage, which can be booked by itself, or more popularly as part of a package with close-up magic.
