Professional entertainment for your wedding
As I’ve been a full time professional magician since 2006 I have performed at hundreds (and hundreds!) of events; including weddings, parties, corporate events and trade shows – and therefore have accumulated A LOT of reviews over the years.
As well as reviews I have also won various industry awards, which you can view here: Award Winning Magician.
Magician Reviews
I regularly get thank you emails, notes and cards following my bookings, and various quotes from various bookings are spread through-out my website – and I’ve tried to keep the reviews and testimonials relevant to the page. (For example, if you are looking for a magician to entertain at your wedding reception you don’t need to know about me performing a mind-reading show at a corporate Christmas party.)
I once had a page that listed them all – it was massive and no one was ever going to read them all before making a decision to book me!
Here are the most recent reviews that have been left for me. (It automatically collates the reviews left on Google, Facebook, and directly on my website.

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.

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.

S.9/07/2021We booked Robert after being told about him by our wedding photographer who’d seen him at another wedding (and subsequently hired him when she got married)….all I can say is ‘wow’…how does he do it??!!
He is so friendly and got everyone’s attention at the different tables to perform his magic tricks. I was watching so closely to try and catch him out…! He really is performing magic!! He did a variety of tricks and everyone was open mouthed trying to figure out how he had done them….he has been a real talking point even days after the wedding our guests have been saying how amazing he was.
Robert….thank you SO much for making our big day super special!read moreread lessJ. Bass12/15/2021For some, a nightmare might be performing magic to over 300 potentially cynical and tricky teenagers - for an hour and a half. Not Robert. He went down an absolute storm at our Sixth Form Ball - engaging, warm, friendly and utterly professional from my first email to finishing his final act. I wouldn't hesitate in booking him for an event - his natural interactions and skill mean he can be relied upon to deliver a fun and intriguing performance. Very reasonable rate indeed and really couldn't have asked for more. We will be booking him again.read moreread less - G. Malone5/31/2024Robert 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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️read moreread lessN.12/06/2024Had Robert at our works Christmas party and he was truly amazing, the tricks were absolutely extraordinary.

Would definitely use again and would highly recommend to anyone.read moreread lessB. Cole5/09/2022Robert is simply a superb entertainer. He came to our pre wedding party as a 'Guest' and mingled with the guests then un announced started to do tricks and concluded with a mind reading presentation over the buffet dinner. The format worked better than expected. Great evening and thank you Robertread moreread lessL. Glassock11/03/2022Hi Robert,

- D. Leavy9/03/2024I'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 Leavyread moreread lessS. Chapman11/09/2021Robert amazed our guests at our engagement party, he made sure that everyone was entertained including the younger guests. Would definitely recommend ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Susan & Garyread moreread lessZ. Burnett12/09/2023Robert gets a 10/10 for me....absolutely incredible a real entertainer. He mingled with everyone & blew our minds with his magic!! A lovely genuine man with a great talent I would not hesitate to recommend him. This is already the second time we have used him & I'm pretty sure it wont be the last!!! Thank you Robert. Take Care xread moreread lessM.4/24/2023You were a total success and everybody commented on how much they enjoyed it - "how did he do that??" is something I heard a lot of at the end of the evening! You were definitely integral to the success of the whole event.
Eira was very impressed and delighted with her "surprise", and as you say, she even said herself she was speechless - which very, very rarely happens.
For me, my favourite moment was seeing our 5 year old grandson totally mesmerized, even he said "Gramps, how??". I'm sure it will be a memory he will have for many many years.
I shall certainly recommend you at every opportunity (in fact I did so yesterday), and look forward to you entertaining and mesmerizing us again in the near future.read moreread less - J. Cox1/17/2025We 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!read moreread lessH. Martin9/07/2023Booked Rob for my wedding… OMG to say he was a hit is an understatement! All the guests loved him, so much in fact they wouldn’t let him leave! Rob was honestly one of the highlights of the event, and my friends are still talking about him now, and it’s been a week! Thankyou so much Rob, I wish I had booked you for longer.read moreread lessC. E4/23/2019Robert was excellent. Even the doubters amongst the guests were converted in the end. The Bride and Groom loved what he did and he made their day extra special. Thank you very much Robert. I will certainly come to you again.read moreread lessS.6/08/2023Thank you so much for everything Robert. I am still overwhelmed from Saturday and your magician and mind reading acts you were literally incredible.read moreread less
- S. Manton7/13/2022Rob attended our wedding and was absolutely fantastic with all our guests, We wished we booked him for longer. Also made time at the end to find myself and the bride to thank us and give us a gift which was so nice.
We also attended another wedding where Rob was present and he was again brilliant really funny very talented.
I could not recommend him more.read moreread lessA. Miller4/24/2022We booked Robert for our wedding in March and it was one of the best decisions we made! Even now our guests are still talking about Robert and his magic. All of his tricks were loved by everyone and not only was his magic so entertaining, Robert is also an incredibly friendly and approachable guy. I would tell anyone do not hesitate in booking Robert for your wedding/event. Thank you Robert!! From Alice and Josh Miller xread moreread lessP. Pilkington2/18/2023I booked Robert for my 40th birthday party. The communication throughout booking and before the party was fantastic. On the night he was perfect! He entertained everyone so well, working the room, remembering guests names and making sure everyone enjoyed some very entertaining close hand magic and mind reading. In short Robert is amazing, everyone loved having him at the party and I would book him again in a heartbeat!read moreread lessC. Rees1/24/2020We hired Robert for our wedding in Sept 2018. It was a last min decision, but a decision I'm so glad we made. He kept us well entertained and frankly blew my mind. His performance was flawless, and he was professional, courteous and a nice guy. My wedding photographer was so impressed (and she has seen many magicians) booked him for her own wedding. Book him, you wont regret it 🙂read moreread less - T.11/12/2023Thank you so much for yesterday. It was fantastic to meet you.
Absolutely everyone who saw you said how amazing you were and how much it made the night for them.read moreread lessS. Panchal6/19/2022Just amazing, Rob is very professional and talented. Close up magic was really great around the large dinner table with a small caberet at the end. We weren't sure what out guests (25 ish) would think for my wife's 40th but to our surprise their engagement and left wanting for more feeling was talk of the eveningand following morning as well as a few weeks after wards! It it's still often mention nearly a year onward.Rob comes in fully dressed up and on this occasion with a suitcase, all guest felt very intruiged by what is would be and the surprise. Rob setup fairly quickly in the main restaurant and came back to start introducing him self and some interesting bits of magic in the foyer even before we sat for food which I tought was a most impressive and dynamic intro as guests were gathering, it seemed to just flow really smoothly, almost like Rob was part of the guests in the party too making everyone feel comfy. The rest of the show was no less amazing with and variety of close up trick, mind reading techniques and a few snippets of the "how" which is always fun to know about and kept people really interactive. It's was great for the kids as well as the adults, I think the adults turned into kids by the end!Would definately recommend Rob to anyone wanting any type of magic, he is just easy to work with arrive promptly to scope the area out and makes the whole experience fluid. I did look for a few others and short listed two but just found Robs price and professionalism a good balance for me, some of the others were a little restrictive on what they would prefer to do and what sort of venues they would feel comfy in. Not for Rob, he was very accommodating and flexible! Thanks again for the amazing evening!read moreread lessJ.12/09/2023We hired Rob for a chairty ball and are over the moon with him. He was very competitive on rates, great communication prior, but most importantly his magic was unbelievable. Laughter and shocked cheers were heard around the room all evening and when he came to our table, the tricks did not disappoint. Do not hesitate to hire Rob for any eventread moreread lessN. Perry11/15/2022We were organising a special family occasion to celebrate our daughter and her partner’s commitment to each other. We thought it would be a good idea to have some form of entertainment during our meal/evening. On investigating various ideas, Robert Bone magically came into our lives. It was obvious from our first conversation that he understood what we were trying to achieve and was able to tailor his performance to suit our occasion. Robert immediately wowed our guests with an array of close up table, mystical, magical, mind bending fun and frolics. His personality exuded into the room, yet did not dominate our occasion. I would highly recommend Robert if your occasion should benefit from mystifying, close up entertainment on any scale.read moreread less - D. Watts5/02/2022Robert performed a combination of close up magic (at tables during dinner) and a full room show for our Tennis Club's 'Music and Magic Night' fundraiser. Robert did a great job - high quality magic which kept us all amused, baffled and entertained along with a friendly and engaging manner which encouraged all to participate and left everyone feeling positive. He added a real touch of class and warmth to our event and I can't recommend him too highly.read moreread lessG.6/29/2023Honestly, you were amazing! Everyone is still talking about the whole day and they absolutely loved your work.

Definitely one to remember and highly recommend! Thankyou Robert 🙂read moreread less - S. Neal9/07/2023We booked Robert for our wedding at Southend Barns at the end of August, having previously meet him at a garden party in 2021.

Huntley4/27/2022Rob is a great Magician & Entertainer, totally professional, assessing and then effortlessly fitting into the mood of his audience - I thoroughly recommend. I approached Rob at relatively short notice to entertain my guests at a Black Tie Presentation & Charity event. Rob assessed my audience & effortlessly entertained my guests at tables, at the bar with humour & finesse. Rob performed a "Show stopper" finale in front of all of my guests at the end of the night leaving everyone laughing applauding & happy. Thank you Rob for an excellent evening of entertainment.read moreread lessN. Cheetham11/03/2024Robert is FANTASTIC! He is a consummate professional, witty & charming ....and an INCREDIBLE magician.
