I’m Robert Bone, a full-time professional magician and mind-reader, entertaining at weddings, parties and corporate events right across Gloucestershire.
I’ve given myself the brand of Demonstrator of Extra-Sensory Curiosities – but don’t let that scare you (it’s just a post way of saying “magician”). I entertain with demonstrations of sleight of hand, memory feats, psychological reading and hypnotic suggestion; which are great fun and directly interacts with your guests.
I’ve quite a quick natural wit, and when combined with magic that has been honed over thousands of performance (seriously thousands – I’ve been full time professional since 2006, and was performing magic as a hobby long before that!) it comes together to create an exciting, fresh, lively and intellectually stimulating genre of entertainment. That’s a grandiose way of saying that I create a talking point at any event!
Mix this my interactive style, unique sense of wit and a persona that grabs attention; and I create an exciting, fresh, lively genre of entertainment – perfect for interacting with your guests and initiating conversation that will go on long after I’ve have finished. It’s much more than just card tricks.
Gloucestershire Event Magic and Mindreading
Ok, I admit that at the moment I don’t actually live in Gloucestershire, but quite close – only a little way over the county border! 😉
As a professional magician I regularly have to travel to more far-flung parts of the country, so naturally I welcome entertaining at parties in Gloucestershire as they are still a lot closer to home for me. Not only are they easier to get to, but normally a lot easier to park at as well.
Over the years I have performed at weddings and events at pretty much every major (and also quite a few smaller) wedding venue and events space in and around the towns of Gloucester, Cheltenham, Stroud and Cirencester.
Usually the close-up magic is performed whilst I mingling with guests during a reception, or mixing between the dinner tables. Naturally during this time I avoid approaching tables that have just been served their dinner, and liaise with the front of house team at the venue to ensure that guests are kept entertained, but not to the detriment of having their meal interrupted.
As well as close-up magic I also perform a mind-reading cabaret show. This can be packaged with close-up magic to provide a whole evening’s worth of magical entertainment, or stand-alone. It can also be a short show with a small number of guests, through to a full stage show.
Renowned Sleight-of-Hand Magician
You can book me with confidence. I will issue you a formal contract which confirms the time and location of the entertain, what I’ll be doing whilst there, and all of the agreed the terms.
You also have the peace of mind that your guests will be seeing high quality magical entertainment. I became a full-time professional in 2006, that’s a lot of experience I will bring to your event; and my repertoire is tried, tested, rehearsed and worked in.
And should the worst happen (whatever that may be!) I have £5 million Public Liability Insurance.
You can rest assured that your guests will be in capable hands, and they’ll love seeing some amazing entertainment.
It doesn’t make any difference to me if your guests all know each other, or are strangers; the way I perform brings people together and sparks interaction between them. This is a great way to help break the ice. To put it another way, my interactive performance (whether on stage or close-up) is a real conversation starter.

Absolutely mesmerizing! I've seen Robert in action at some of my clients weddings. He leaves guests spellbound! His very skillful mastery of illusion and sleight of hand leaves people in awe. Robert has great presence and the ability to engage the audience. Every trick is performed with flair and it feels like magic is truly alive in the room. The audience participation added an extra layer of excitement. I would highly recommend catching Robert in action if you ever have the chance. Prepare to be dazzled, delighted, and left believing in the magic of the impossible! - Annabel F. - 02 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 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'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

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

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

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

A Unique and Fantastic Experience
The magic I perform is as entertaining as it is baffling. It creates a fantastic experience for your guests. My style is full of comedy and hands on interaction.
But not only do I aim to entertain whilst actually performing the magic tricks, but the way I interact (from borrowing objects, to reading – and controlling – the minds of you guests) creates a lasting memory they will remember for years to come.
Gloucestershire Magician for Private Parties to Corporate Shows
Close-up magic and mind-reading can be performed in a variety of settings, whether mixing in a reception, at the dinner table. This complements my stand-up stage show, and can even promote your company at a trade show or exhibition.
Whatever the reason: birthdays, Christmas parties, weddings, private dinners, exhibitions, and corporate hospitality. All are just some of the events that can benefit from a magical experience.
Contact me now to discuss how I can make your event a magical occasion. Email [email protected] or call direct on 07930 420 257. We can also have a chat over Zoom or Skype.
