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.

I’ve seen Robert Bone perform his magic on multiple occasions and I’ve always been impressed by his level of skill, professionalism, preparation, and the way he uses his brilliant sense of humour to tie it all together and make his magic especially entertaining. Most recently, I was lucky enough to get my friend and I tickets to Robert’s exclusive show in Reading. To say we enjoyed ourselves would be an understatement. Robert kept us entertained and laughing from start to finish. The tricks and feats of mind reading he pulled off were superb and mind blowing, and had us asking “how did he do that” all night long! I can’t imagine the amount of preparation that must go on behind the scenes to make everything so smooth and seamless in Robert’s performances. Whether you’re thinking of hiring him to entertain the guests at your wedding or family event, to wow the guests at your corporate event, or thinking of getting tickets to one of his shows, you won’t be disappointed and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Robert to you. - Steve S. - 10 Jul 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

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

I had the pleasure of attending Robert Bone’s magic show this week, and it was nothing short of spellbinding. Robert masterfully blended classic sleight-of-hand tricks with astonishing mind-reading acts, all delivered with impeccable showmanship. What truly set the evening apart was his brilliant storytelling woven through each performance. He revived some timeless magic tricks but gave them a fresh twist with engaging, modern narratives that kept everyone hooked from start to finish. His connection with the audience was outstanding — every person in the room felt involved and part of the magic. The highlight was undoubtedly the kicker ending, which was so well thought out and flawlessly executed that it left the entire audience in awe. If you’re looking for a night of wonder, laughter, and genuine astonishment, I highly recommend Robert Bone’s show. He’s a true master of his craft. - Ovirup D. - 10 Jul 2025

If you want a magician that your guests will be talking about for years later…Robert Bone is your man. We had Robert at our wedding in 2015 and everyone was talking about him for years later. My bridesmaid and best friend even wanted to kidnap him 😂 safe to say she was extremely happy that we booked him again for my husbands 40th party 10 years later! Robert will get your guests talking and mingling and he will blow their minds!!
I’d book him again in a flash. As one of our guests even said “He’s way better than Dynamo” - Claire L. - 23 Jun 2025

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

Robert came to my mother in laws 80th birthday party and was a big hit. He astounded the guests who were mesmerised with his tricks. He performed a special trick for the birthday girl which was amazing. He was easy to get hold of and kept me updated throughout. He made the party extra special and would highly recommend him for any party. Would definitely book him again. - Katie - 06 Jun 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
