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.
Some Random Reviews

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

Thanks again Robert, we still don’t know how you did it?!?! 😂😂😂 Charlotte & Andrew - Charlotte - 19 Sep 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

Had Robert at our works Christmas party and he was truly amazing, the tricks were absolutely extraordinary. I have had so much feedback since the party, from everyone saying how impressed they were. Robert managed the room exceptionally well and kept everyone entertained. Would definitely use again and would highly recommend to anyone. - Nicola - 06 Dec 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 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
