Hi, I’m Robert Bone, I’m a professional magician, mind-reader and Demonstrator of Extra-Sensory Curiosities (just a posh way of saying magician!), entertaining at weddings, parties and events all around Surrey.
Although I am most known for my close-up magic, I also perform a mind-reading cabaret show; and I entertain with a combination of sleight of hand, memory techniques, psychological reading and hypnotic suggestion. I like to mix things up, and combining these various methods into a really fun and interactive style of entertainment.
Add in my unique natural wit and it creates an exciting, fresh, lively and intellectually stimulating genre of magic – and sets me apart from other magicians. This is perfect for involving your guests with interactive entertainment (not only do I borrow objects from the spectators, they actively participate in making the magic happen – and even have their thoughts plucked out of their own minds!) Talk about a talking point! 😉
Surrey Renowned Sleight-of-Hand Magician
I’ll be honest, I currently don’t live in Surrey, but just a little over the border in Berkshire. However, it’s “just down the road” and I regularly entertain at venues and private residences across the county. As a professional magician I am regularly asked to travel nationally, so I now class events in Surrey as being on my “home turf”.
I’m often at events in and around the Guildford and Woking areas, and have no issues getting to parts of Surrey that are within the M25. (Although I often think of anything that side of the motorway as London!)
Having turned professional in 2006 I must have performed at pretty much every major wedding and event venue in and around Surrey. The benefit of booking a magician near to you is that they know the area and this reduced the chances of getting lost or stuck in traffic. When arriving at familiar venue I know where to park, the layout of the building, and how the front of house staff like to coordinate their events. (None of this is necessary, but definitely a benefit and adds a little peace of mind to you when organising an event with plenty of moving parts.)
I can entertain whilst mingling with guests during a reception, circulating around dinner tables, and even on stage with my stand-up cabaret show.
Some Random Reviews
- Jordan C.
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

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 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

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

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 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

Book Robert with Confidence
You can book me with confidence, having turned full-time professional in 2006 I have a wealth of experience. My repertoire of material has been honed from performing thousands of tricks at hundreds of events. Everything is worked in, each trick polished and perfected with years of practice and rehearsal. During this time it is fair to say that I have encountered a good selection of personality types, and my knowledge and experience allows me to make adjustments on the fly to ensure that the magic is as enjoyable as it can be for each and every one of your guests.
And if things really do go wrong, then I have £5 million Public Liability Insurance. (Although a card trick would need to go seriously wrong for that!)
The booking process is simple, and I issue formal contracts to confirm the arrangements. Payments are made through my business bank account, and I can even accept credit cards. I aim to give you peace of mind so that you can concentrate on all the other aspects of event planning, safe in the knowledge that your guests will be expertly entertained by a professional.
You can rest assured that your guests will be in capable hands seeing some amazing entertainment. Whether your guests all know each other (such as the annual company Christmas party), or are strangers and need something to break the ice (such as a wedding when different friends and families are all brought together in the same room); my interactive performance is designed to bring your guests together and get them talking. This is true of both my close-up magic, and even my mind-reading cabaret show.
A Unique Magical Experience
My performance is as entertaining as it is baffling, and creates a fantastic experience for your guests. My personal style is full of comedy and hands-on interaction with your guests.
My goal at your event is not only to entertain at the time, but to also create a memory your guests will remember for years to come. I regularly meet people who have still kept various keep-sakes as “lucky charms” from seeing me at event years prior!
Contact me now to discuss how I can make your event a magical occasion. Email [email protected], request a quote, or call direct on 07930 420 257. We can also arrange to meet up (perhaps virtually by Zoom or Skype?) to discuss your event in more detail.
