I manage the Birthday Stars Project which supports families affected by homelessness/violence/persecution. Last Saturday, I booked Ian to do a show at our monthly party in a homeless families centre. It was fantastic. The kids/ parents had a blast. Given the trauma they go through - the opportunity to have fun and relax is so important. Ian is a fantastic entertainer and really gets the kids interacting with his tricks. What was so heart warming was the amount of laughter and excitement coming from the kids!! Great job Ian, and THANK YOU ! Will definitely book you again. Would thoroughly recommend. More...

Although both from the North, I recently met Ian in London during a dinner. Ian's tricks were mind blowing, but he skilfully couples this with a demeanour which is modest and unassuming which perfectly complements his act.

We've just got married and we had Ian for a few hours in the evening. We booked him after seeing him at two other weddings, although we had already said we wanted him after 5 minutes of first seeing him. Ian's skills are mind blowing. Me and a few of the lads even surrounded him from all angles and made him do a trick whilst we kept the eagle eye on him and we still couldn't work out how he did it! More...

A great, no forget that...... a fantastic magician who I came across today in our local restaurant where my Son and I grabbed a coffee on a local walk. I have no how idea how he did it but felt like I was with Dynamo for those few minutes that is how good you are!!! Amazing tricks and a very friendly yet professional guy!! top marks. P.S my Son is still trying to work out how you did all the tricks. Thank you and hope that we can work together in the future for my couples as their wedding planner. More...
