Mike Driver Close-up Illusions Full Description
" his ..wit, enthusiasm and skill had us all wowed! ..all our guests raved about him" Katie & Ollie WInterbourne, Burnley (review on Freeindex) Top rated, 5 star magic and entertainment**. 5 star for quality AND 5 star value!! I have honed my act over 20 years of performing at a very wide range of functions- from wedding receptions and corporate events to music festivals and street magic. I am a member of the International Brotherhood of Magicians (IBM), British Ring - the largest world-wide organisation for magicians. I have approx 80 5 star reviews on independent sites: around 58 on Freeindex ( www.mikedrivermagic.freeindex.co.uk ), 19 on Bark.com and 3 on AddtoEvent. What is in my act: high-impact, contemporary close up effects with banknotes, coins, rope, finger rings, balls, cards, fire (safely! Very cool!) and more. I vary the effects as I move around the guests. I also entertain with a striking stand up act if required. The entertainment is fast-paced, full of good humour, and packed with magic! I listen to your requirements and tailor my act to suit. I also advise you on performance time options for the numbers you have. I can entertain during the drinks' reception, throughout the meal (whilst guests are waiting for their next course, NOT while they are eating!) or after the meal when extra people may be arriving, and before a live band or disco. YOU choose the option which suits you, and your budget. Commonest booking times 2 or 3 hours. Quotations for longer periods available, including day rates!

' brilliant.......a definite must at your wedding"
An absolutely brilliant magician. Mike did a couple of hours after our meal as we were not having an evening do. His table tricks were out of this world and everyone was discussing his magic way after he'd left. Mike was extremely obliging and friendly with the guests and totally worth every penny. A definite must at your wedding.

I fully recommend him to you!
We booked Mike for my sisters wedding - everyone enjoyed his various tricks from the very young right through to the elders! He arrived before the event was scheduled and was swiftly ready to begin. I fully recommend him to you! (Samira Hafeji)

.....a huge talent.
Well what can we say, we originally met Mike at a wedding convention in Harrogate and his amazing magic captured us immediately. We book him instantly without any hesitation for our wedding scheduled May 2020. Unfortunately due to covid our wedding like others was postponed several times and Mike’s commitment to us was amazing moving his own arrangements to meet our needs. What a genuinely lovely guy with a huge talent. He delivered a great show of magic on the day that left a great impression on our guests and us. Cannot thank both Mike and his wife Lynda enough for all they did for us.

'absolutely fantastic.. We really were mindblown!
Mike was the magician for our wedding in August, from first contact Mike was amazing. He's such a lovely guy, he explained the process of the booking very well and was very accomodating. On the day of the wedding all the guest said Mike was absolutely fantastic, I was surprised how many people he actually got to show tricks too! Everybody was really impressed. The magic tricks he did for me and my husband on the day were outstanding! We really were mind blown!! Was a credit to have Mike there on our wedding day, so glad we booked him and would recommend him to anyone for weddings and events.

"all our guests raved about him"
Katie Winterborne recommends Mike Driver Close Up Magician. "We won a competition for Mike to do a few hours magic at our wedding and boy am I glad we won! We probably never would have considered a magician until we met Mike. But his balance of wit, enthusiasm and skill had us all wowed! So it became a no-brainer! All our guests raved about him and said that it must be "actual sorcery"! He even stayed late to make sure that as bride and groom, we got to see a trick or two before he left. We would recommend Mike Driver to anyone! Thank you again so much! Love, the new Mr and Mrs Winterborne xxx" Posted on Facebook Reviews, Mike Driver Close up Magician
