I am so glad we added on the Charismatic Conjuror to our corporate event last minute. I felt like we needed something fun, and he was indeed that. He was responsive, friendly and made sure to approach everyone at the party, without being intrusive. And don't ask me, i still can't figure out all the tricks! I recommend.

I booked Colin through Dan. Dan is Colin’s mentor. Colin was amazing! Easy to communicate with, showed up on time, personable. We booked him for my boyfriend’s 30th birthday and he was a hit with all of our friends and really just made the party something to remember. We’ve all been talking about him and his magic for days. Definitely something I’ll never forget! Book him!

Colin came in and did some great strolling magic, followed by a show for our small group. We had a wide range of ages, and he was able to engage and entertain everyone. He had great "patter" and kept us mesmerized and amazed the whole time. Highly recommended!
