When organising your Masonic Ladies Night, Festival or White Table there are a lot of variables, and that takes a lot of organising – and I’m guessing that neither you (or your partner) are professional event managers. In fact, I don’t really need to rely on my mind-reading powers to guess that your wife has been delegated to arrange the event herself! 😉
Masonic Magician
Being “on the Square” I am aware at what happens at a Ladies Night or a White Table evening; so I understand the various conventions that may perplex other magicians. (Yes, the lists of toasts; and of course the terminology used.)
Watch the video, which is a montage of a Christmas Masonic Party to celebrate the launch of Berkshire Province’s 2023 Festival.
By booking me for your entertainment I can not only provide you with the knowledge and experience that I have from performing at countless corporate and Christmas parties – but also have that knowledge of attending, performing (and organising my own!) Ladies Nights over the years.
I perform at lots of Ladies Nights and Festivals, particularly in the Masonic Province of Berkshire. However, I am not limited to performing in my own Province and have performed at Ladies night from Hampshire or Northamptonshire. (I had wanted to say from Southampton to Northampton, but the Hampshire one was in Basingstoke).
Some Random Reviews
- Richard B.
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 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

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 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

The entertainment will typical include mix and mingle magic as guests arrive at the drinks reception. This works well as those that don’t know each other, or only typically see each other at the annual Ladies Night, will be able to get involved; and the magic is a fantastic way to spark interaction and conversation.
The close-up magic continues around the dinner tables. Obviously I avoid interupting guests as they are about to eat, work around the tables waiting to be served, or between the courses. I make an effort to work with the staff at the venue to make the meal go smoothly.
After Dinner Cabaret
After the meal I can perform an after-dinner show. This can be from a short 10 minute mind-reading routine, through to a full 45 minute show.
The benefit of a show is that I gather the attention of the room and get all the guests looking in the same direction and focused. Essentially it turns a room of diners into an audience. After entertaining the audience I can hand over the Worshipful Master (or Director of Ceremonies or Toastmaster) who can introduce speeches, toasts and raffles.
This is particularly useful if the WM is not confident, or this is his first time hosting a Ladies Night.
