" his ..wit, enthusiasm and skill had us all wowed! ..all our guests raved about him" Katie & Ollie WInterbourne (review on Bridebook)
I am a top rated, 5 star magician and entertainer**. 5 star for quality AND 5 star value!! I have honed my act over 18 years of performing at a very wide range of functions- from wedding receptions 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. **Freeindex Register of UK magicians (mikedrivermagic.freeindex.co.uk).
My act consists of high-impact, contemporary close up effects with banknotes, coins, rope, finger rings, balls, cards, fire (safely! Very cool!) and more. 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 suggestions and tailor my act to suit your needs. I also advise you on performance time options for the number of guests you have. You may want your guests to be entertained 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 guests may be arriving, and before a live band or disco. I am usually booked for a combination from this list. YOU choose the option which suits you, and your budget. Prices: 2 hours £295, 3 hours £395. Quotations for longer periods available! I have been booked for up to 6 hours!!

'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"

..lovely presence..definitely a hit....
Mike was a very visual interactive performer, his table top magic show at our wedding was very intimate and he encouraged close up guest participation. The guests and young children loved it.
Mike has a lovely presence and his show was definitely a hit. We would definitely use him again,. And guests also said they would use him also..
