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.
Some Random Reviews

Robert was simply incredible, and had us all all thoroughly engaged and equally perplexed with his magic and especially mind-reading. He is very able to judge the mood, and highly expert at performing for both a large crowd, around moving through smaller tables, and mixing with guests in small groups. A real talent! Thank you Robert! - G W. - 15 May 2024

Robert is an absolute LEGEND!!! We had Robert as our Master of Ceremonies plus Magician at our wedding last weekend. But he is soooo much more. He helped with everything. He took control of all the music, made sure the ceremony room was set up correctly, liaised with all the hotel staff, took photographs all day…..I cannot recommend Robert enough. Everybody loved his magic and mind reading and couldn’t get enough of him as he entertained the room all day. Please please please book Robert for your upcoming events - you will not be disappointed. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Georgina M. - 31 May 2024

I could not let our celebration lunch last Saturday go by without just expressing to you my grateful thanks for your contribution to the success of the day. Although many of those present had seen you in action at other masonic functions, a repeat performance never fails to impress. The feedback through the many messages of thanks I have received has all been positive and you certainly added greatly to the enjoyment of the occasion Thank you very much indeed. - Robert F. - 08 May 2024

I don’t think there are words I can use to say how amazing Robert was! Every single guest loved him no matter the age. From all around our wedding all I could hear was ‘ How did you do that!!’ ‘ No F******* way!’ ‘That has blown my mind’ from our guests. No one could truly believe how great he was. Even weeks after the event our friends and family our still mind boggled of how he did the tricks. They are even still watching the videos and just can’t work it out!! Our friends have even booked him for their wedding because they are so amazed! If you are looking for some sort of entertainment for your wedding I could not recommend Robert enough. We have seen him multiple times now and each time he just gets better and better! - Charlotte - 17 Sep 2024

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

I've had the pleasure of working with Rob at numerous events, and I can confidently say that he is absolutely brilliant at what he does. As a professional close-up magician, I've seen first-hand the impact a talented performer can have on an event, and Rob truly elevates every occasion he’s a part of. Not only is he incredibly skilled and professional, but he’s also just a genuinely nice guy who’s a pleasure to work with. If you’re looking for someone to add a touch of magic to your event, I can’t recommend Rob highly enough! – Dean Leavy - Dean L. - 03 Sep 2024

As added bonus points for the great pictures taken during our reception! Thank you so much for a great evening! - laura h. - 09 Jul 2024

It was such fun to have you there. I’d always thought after the Gala if I ever got married there was only one magician I’d have there! 🪄☺️ It’s been a joy to see you again.
I’d recommend you to anyone! 🌟
Thank you so much! - Cornelia N. - 23 Jun 2024

I would totally recommend Robert for any event. He entertained my guests for over 2 hours and changed the entire dynamics of a home garden party with his tricks and brain busting mind reading. People who have never met ended up socialising together. He created a buzz of excitement in all ages. Everyone is still talking about it. Exceptional !! - Tonniena B. - 11 Jun 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.
