Greg, I would just like to say a huge thankyou for last night. Your magical wizardry performance went down a treat with everyone that attended our marketing event. We had around 60 guests and was so pleased how you navigated the room and wowed everyone. I still don't know how you done the phone trick!! If we ever need another act for an event, I will recommend you!

Tammy Westwood

This guy is absolutely amazing. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him. He performed at my wedding and as distracted as I was with everything, he made sure that I got he chance to be bedazzled by him too. So many of my guests have since come to me singing his praises. If you want to make your event a special one I’d absolutely urge you to book him. (You’re top notch, Greg, Thank you!)

Angela Loxton

We had a Christmas party on 19th December. We have already received a thank you from all the guests and every one of them makes a particular point of saying how delighted and intrigued they were with Greg and his amazing magical abilities. I highly recommend him for creating great interest and wonderful entertainment.

Adam Deas

I had seen Greg perform at a corporate event in London and I was wow’ed. The brilliant showmanship and incredible tricks were top tier. I told Greg I would book him for my wedding. Which I did.. He was even better than I remember. The new set of tricks which Greg brought to his repertoire were truly mesmerising and the way Greg works the room making sure nobody misses the opportunity to witness his magic, seamlessly mingling with the guests like he was part of the wedding party. Many of my guests, were talking about Greg’s illusions long into the evening. I would highly recommend Greg to anyone looking to have a real spectacle at their event. He left everyone, he performed for, stunned and trying to figure out what they had just witnessed.

Leah Laborero

Greg performed a 30-minute show at my sister’s bridal shower, and it was absolutely incredible. From the moment he arrived, he was warm, professional, and effortlessly funny. He was a pleasure to work with — super helpful and responsive in the lead-up to the event, which made planning so much easier and stress-free. His magic and mind reading was mind-blowing! Each trick left us amazed, and he had all of us completely captivated from start to finish. Even after he left, we couldn't stop talking about the show. Greg brought exactly the kind of fun and wonder we hoped for — the perfect touch of magic that made the day even more special. I couldn’t recommend him more highly for any celebration.

Justine Le Hellidu

Truly spectacular performance from Greg for our clients private event. He very successfully engaged this party of 17/18 year olds which is no mean feat in itself! Not only a fantastic magician but also a really nice guy. Would thoroughly recommend him.

Sasha Mitchell

What a fantastic magician. Captivated us all and left the guests wanting to see more and more. He worked the room in the drinks reception and also at the table during dinner. We couldn't have asked for more and will definitely be using Greg again. Thank you :)

Charlotte Ford

Lucille Gray

Greg performed at our work Christmas Party, he was fantastic... everyone loved it! Would definitely recommend him, really engaging and made a very memorable evening...

Adam Hepworth

We hired Greg for our wedding back in 2020 but due to covid this was delayed. Greg was very responsive and professional with the whole situation and was happy to rearrange and accommodate the new dates. (There was 4 dates in total) Greg remained in contact during the whole period. When our day finally came, Greg got right to work, mixing in with our guests and giving an amazing performance to all. I was approached by our guests saying how good he was and they were all amazed! We had a mixture of all ages including a child, in amongst the adults Greg took the time to interact with them and got them involved also. When we witnessed Greg’s performance, we were very impressed on how good his performance was and by the different types of tricks. Greg is not just a one trick pony, not only is his skills as a magician amazing, his personality, kindness and professionalism were also amazing too. One of our friends who saw the performance, were so impressed they enquired Greg for their own wedding. I would highly recommend Greg to any one no matter the function type. 10/10

Darren Slater

Excellent act really nice guy too. He done one trick with numbers ill just say amazing 👍

Lisa Holness

We recently hired a Greg for our baby shower event and I honestly couldn’t recommend him more highly! From start to finish, the performance was engaging, professional, and full of surprises that left everyone amazed. Not only were the tricks incredibly impressive, but the way they interacted with guests of all ages really made the experience special. There was lots of laughter, genuine astonishment, and plenty of “how did they do that?!” moments. They were punctual, well-prepared, and clearly passionate about what they do. Several of our guests have already asked for their details, which says it all! If you’re looking to add something unique and memorable to your event, I would absolutely recommend booking Greg!

Grace Reynolds

It is always wonderful to work with Greg. He is an amazing magician and I can't recommend him highly enough!

EllieJeanBuckle

We had Greg Williamson at our wedding and he was absolutely incredible. From the moment he arrived, he was friendly, approachable, and left everyone speechless. His magic completely blew everyone’s minds — guests were still talking about it all night. What really stood out was the variety and originality of his performance; it went far beyond the usual expectations of close-up magic and felt genuinely unique and memorable. Greg created such a fun atmosphere and added something truly special to our day. We cannot recommend him highly enough — if you’re considering booking a magician for your event, do not hesitate!

Sam Lewis

Very very very impressive

Ronald Elliott

Greg made our afternoon birthday party. Our guests were amazed at the ingenuity and slight of hand, that no one could work out. All very clever and everyone when thanking us mentioned Greg‘s skills and professionalism. Thank you.

Amanda Menassa

We had the absolute pleasure of having Greg at our Christmas party last week and he literally added the magic! all our team were left speechless and are still talking about how he could have done what he did with the rings and the cards! A charming, polite and very professional gentleman. Would definitely recommend Greg for future events.

David Rashleigh

Greg entertained our guests at our wedding. He made a point of performing tricks for every one of the guests and everyone said how good he was. We have many great photos of the look of complete surprise on guests faces when the tricks were performed. We can thoroughly recommend him.

James Wentworth-Weedon

Greg has really delighted me today! I was skeptical about booking a magician for such a short time (5-10 minutes). I wanted to surprise a very good friend of mine as a gift. The fee was perfectly reasonable and in my eyes, worth it so close to Christmas. His performance baffled me and genuinely annoyed the recipient haha. A class act. Also seems like a genuinely wonderful person, so please do book Greg if you’re apprehensive about hiring him for any event, large or small.

Alan & Barbara

Greg's magic was one of the highlights at our anniversary celebration, much talked about by all. We always knew where he was from the oohs and aahs, groans and applause emanating from each table in turn. We thoroughly recommend him.

Lo Corps

Greg was the best person we could possibly have chosen for our 100-person celebration. He entertained everyone so brilliantly with charm and wit, not to mention his quite unbelievable skills in magic, mind reading and memory tricks. He absolutely made the entire evening, and I believe some of our guests have already booked him for weddings later this year as they were completely blown away. I can’t recommend him more highly - I have been lucky enough to see many similar performers at various events and Greg was hands down the best I have ever seen. Thanks so much again ! X

Alise Childs

ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS!! Greg was an exceptional addition to our wedding! He left everyone speechless & mind blown! Everyone spoke so highly of Greg for days after!! Will 100% be rebooking!

Pete Thomas

"We were absolutely captivated by Greg's performance at my wife's 70th birthday party! His sleight of hand and mind-reading feats left our guests in awe—truly mind-blowing entertainment that added magic to our special day. From mesmerizing digital magic, card tricks and impossible predictions, he had everyone talking long after the show. If you're looking to create unforgettable moments at your event, look no further—book him now and prepare to be amazed!"

Kath Fontana

Greg appeared at my husbands 60th birthday dinner and really made the evening. He’s a great performer, got everyone involved, and the magic was really impressive.

Jo Abbott

What a joy to work with Greg - Professional, talented, flexible, charming with the guests and just a pleasure to have at any event. Can't wait to book you again!

Matthew Wells

Greg performed at our wedding this weekend, and the guests were absolutely amazed! We were really pleased with the entertainment and also with how Greg seamlessly performed for different groups, which was especially helpful as we had a number of guests who hadn't met before and it helped them to break the ice. We would definitely recommend him. Thanks so much Greg!

Linda Diane

Greg performed at my son’s wedding, it was the perfect entertainment for all the guests. Everyone loved his performance, it’s still the talking point to this day. Greg’s magic is impeccable and I would highly recommend this type of entertainment for any occasion. I was so impressed with Greg’s entertainment I hired him again for my 70th birthday which was a small private dining event. His after dinner show wowed all my guests and created a special feel to my milestone birthday.

Sarah Wilcox

We booked Greg for our wedding to entertain our 65 guests during our 90-minute drinks reception. He was absolutely excellent and I would highly recommend him. He's friendly, polite, very very talented and great fun. His range of tricks (which I won't reveal!) really suited the audience and the mood in the room - there were lots of wows going on for the slight of hand. We booked Greg because sometimes if you don't know many people at a wedding the reception drinks can drag on, a bit or feel like an effort socially - he absolutely broke the ice with lots of people and was a great conversation starter. It's been a month since our wedding and people still talk about Greg as a highlight - he was very memorable and got round all our guests. Easy to communicate with and very reliable too, which is so important in the run up to a big day. You won't regret booking him for your wedding, we certainly don't!

Ian Croft

Thank you Greg 👏 A Baron

Greg performed for our guests at my wife's 70th birthday celebrations in a Mayfair restaurant. We had 40 people and he gave everyone equal time with his incredible magic.

I can't recommend him enough, he was a brilliant magician and a really nice guy - thanks again Greg. John Goodwin
