WHAT COUPLES SAY
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"We booked Mark for a 2 hour slot to fill the gap while I went to get photos done by the lake. I don’t know what I expected but it wasn’t that. I didn't want to leave to get my photos done, I was to busy enjoying seeing my guests faces as Mark blown their minds. Mark your people skills and knowing how to read a room was impeccable. The magic was another level and it was the best addition we had on our day. Thank you so much"
Cheryl Keating
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Mark is an amazing magician who we had entertain our guests at our wedding. Everyone was amazed and spoke about mark for months after (to be fair, they still do). He’s very friendly and has a laugh with you. If you are looking for a magician, don’t hesitate in booking mark! You won’t regret it!"
Ceri Hirst
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Where do we even begin… Mark is absolutely incredible. From start to finish he kept our guests entertained & engaged in his magic, even a year after our wedding people are still talking about Mark. He truly is one of the most down to earth, genuine people we’ve ever met & we feel so lucky to have had him as part of our special day. If I was ever a sceptic of magic, after seeing Mark’s tricks up close & personal I completely believe in magic now. He would make such a fantastic addition to your wedding day! Thank you again for being part of our wedding and we really do wish you every success in the future!"
