We booked Magic Frank for a birthday party at our house for a group of ages 14-80. He was fantastic. Everyone loved it and he got us all involved from the first minute and throughout. We're still talking about some of the tricks the next day! Good communication when booking also. Highly recommended.

As a surprise 80th. birthday treat my kids and grandkids brought Magic Frank along to a party as I have always enjoyed magic shows. Frank was brilliant and put on a show as good as any I have seen. A mixture of card tricks, mind reading, numerology etc. all very professional and competent and performed in a friendly way to suit all ages. Great show.

Frank was fantastic. We booked Frank to entertain at our corporate event and he was outstanding. He had everyone laughing, amazed, and completely engaged. Several people are still talking about his mind-reading weeks later! He was professional, flexible, and made the whole process really easy for us. I’d definitely recommend him for any corporate function...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We booked Magic Frank for our wedding on 22nd August and he was absolutely amazing! He completely wowed our guests. So many people kept coming up to us throughout the day commenting on how brilliant he was and how amazed they were by his magic. Everyone was trying to work out how he’d done it 😂 and he genuinely became one of the talking points of the day! He was fantastic with everyone, really friendly and professional, and fitted into the wedding perfectly. With so much going on during the day, it was lovely seeing groups of our guests gathered around him, laughing and completely baffled by what they’d just seen. We’ve had so many comments since about how great he was, which says it all really. We’re so glad we booked him and would absolutely recommend Magic Frank to anyone considering him for their wedding or event. Thank you for helping make our day so memorable! ✨🤍 Mr & Mrs Evans — 22.08.26

Frank was absolutely amazing. Wondered around all of our guests seamlessly, ensuring everyone got a chance to see something cool. Without giving anything away, the magic itself was mind blowing, a huge range of tricks. It feels like everybody got to see something different and they were all equally stunned. Thank you.
