“We hired John to be our Toastmaster & Magician at our wedding and he was amazing! We met John at a wedding fair and we were blown away by his magic. It was an added bonus that he is also a Toastmaster. He was such a hit with all of the guests, both adults and children. He kept everyone entertained during the drinks reception and the sit down meal. Afterwards we had so many guests comment to us about how good he was and even 5 months on we still talk about it. He truly is a fantastic magician and entertainer and had all of our guests astounded with his magic tricks. If you are thinking of booking John for your wedding or event, do not hesitate. It will be one of the best parts of your day!”
