My now wife, Amanda, and I were looking for something or someone to WOW our guests when we got married . . .

Fortunately, the entertainment gods were smiling on us when we were referred to the most dapper exponent of the Magical Arts there is, Colin Phillips  – Magician. Colin is the real deal. This showreel is fantastic but if you really want the XXX Factor then book him for your own celebration, or find out where he's performing and gatecrash!" 

If you are looking for a Hampshire Magician - just hire Colin!

Paul and Amanda Hill

 

Absolutely amazing throughout the whole process of planning our wedding, the attention to detail from Colin was faultless. We had Colin as our master of ceremony and magician, two very different jobs but both executed perfectly, our day flowed and transitioned effortlessly due to how Colin planned it. Colin is nothing short of exceptional at what he does, the tricks had every guest astonished and not believing what they had just seen! I have received ample messages about Colin since the wedding and confident he will be getting booked from some guests! I’m not one to usually leave reviews but the services provided were breath taking and made our day!! Thank you so much for everything !!

Paul and Alexandra Pennells

 

We are so so glad that we had Colin at our wedding. He is so professional and responsive and he is also so kind and friendly which came across in his lovely emails from the start. Our guests were absolutely blown away by his magic, as were we! We loved that he gave us some time to see some magic, just with the bride and groom, as weddings are so fast paced and we were worried we weren’t going to see any of it. We definitely did and we loved every second! We would definitely recommend Colin to anyone who loves magic and would like to get some extra entertainment for your guests. He is amazing !!

Colin is a fantastic magician, and I don't just mean good, he is amazing - good enough to have his own TV show. He kept my 28 guests guessing for days how he had performed his amazing magic. In fact that was practically all everyone said about my party afterwards! Colin is very professional and very personable - he gets on with everyone really easily and keeps them entertained. He is very flexible and has worked in so many different venues that he suggested the best way to integrate with my guests at the party, and he was absolutely right. Whatever occasion you are planning, speak to Colin and he will give you some really great ideas of how he can enhance that occasion. You definitely will be very pleased that you booked him, I certainly was! :)

Colin Phillips is an outstanding close up magician. Colin has also worked with me on many charity events and he’s a great supporter to my cause and has been for many years. He is slick, quick, funny and looks the part. He has a chemistry that mesmerises, and he engages with the audience, where you can hear a pin drop. I would highly recommend Colin, who is the best you will see. Take it from me, if you are having an event, be it a party, corporate or any other celebration, you will not be disappointed. I can go well beyond the five stars requested on Google reviews, I will give Colin 10 stars just for a starter ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

If there is one thing that you should do for your wedding, it is to get Colin to perform magic for you and your guests! Colin was absolutely brilliant at our wedding, he got on with all the guests so well, he consistently left them speechless and we have had comment after comment from everyone on how good he was. Every step of the process with him was smooth and easy, exactly what you want. He will without a doubt leave you with magical memories that you will never forget on your big day! Thank you Colin for everything!

Colin is a fantastic magician and  definitely added the wow factor to our wedding. The guests all commented about how fascinating his performance was. He had them all captivated and left them many times scratching their heads in amazement. The special little touches and keepsakes he created for me and my husband was fantastic, a day we won’t forget that’s for sure. Thank you so Much Colin.

Colin was a brilliant addition to our entertainment at our daughters recent wedding. We kept him as a surprise. Our guests were thrilled and entertained so well, some kept going back for more. He performed personal surprise acts for the Bride and Groom and left them with gifts to cherish. They were blown away ! Colin has been professional throughout with good communication and such good value. We split our 3 hours as Colin was local to us. This was one of the reasons we chose him as we like to use local people. However I would have chosen him if he lived the other side of the country ! Please book Colin ! He will add so much to your event.

Joanne Armstrong

Colin was such a fantastic star at my daughters wedding on Friday he was brilliant with the adults he had lots of people mesmerised and wandering how he did the tricks the children were baffled he made the quite times very good everybody enjoyed his talent, and would ibook him again, yes definitely he made the big day extra special for us all.

Teresa Smith

 

"We hired Colin for our wedding in May this year after having spent lots of time witnessing his fantastic skills when I myself used to be a wedding supplier. I always told myself if I was to hold a special event Colin would be one of the must have elements! I took my partner to see Colin at a local wedding fair and he too was blown away. From pre booking right up to the day itself the service we received was exceptional. Prompt responses and the actual quality of the work Colin does is outstanding. He amazed both young and old alike and cracked some of the more skeptical tough cookies amongst our guests with ease. We really couldn't recommend Colin highly enough, you won't find a more professional or lovely magician anywhere."

Lauren Sherman-Nias

 

What a master!! Extremely well presented and proficient, one of the best magicians I’ve ever seen and feedback from our guests is the same. Colin is outstanding.

Axel Molist

This guy is bloody amazing, we booked him for our Christmas party and we had a ball, worth every penny as some of the people were a bit sceptical and thought that he couldn’t pull the wool over their eyes, but he did they were all blown away, he did so many amazing tricks and he is a super funny guy. Booking him was really easy no hassle at all he was always in contact and always answered all my questions, I highly recommended him 100%, I will definitely be using him again. Thanks Colin for being great.

Sarah Lush

 

"Colin is simply incredible. My head tells me it's a trick. But my eyes tell me it's impossible. Actually scares me. How on earth do you pull a card out of an iPhone! On top of that he's about the most presentable magician I've ever met. He'll charm you and all your guests. Absolutely top bloke. If I could give him 10 stars it wouldn't be enough!"

Colin, just wanted to say a big thank you for Saturday evening. You really added something very special to the evening and people are still talking about some of the illusions you performed. The card trick you did for Wendy and I was unbelievable and its got pride of place on a shelf in the house. So thanks again - really appreciate all you did to make it a fantastic time. 

Nick Tustian

 

I have seen Colin at quite a few events but we have always been busy so never got the time to chat and watch him in action until a few weeks ago.....

Colin was simply brilliant, he captivated my imagination and blew me a way with a series of tricks that I’m still trying to work out how he even managed it! 

I work with lots of magicians when I host events but Colin was certainly unique and could utilise and deliver a range of tricks that would keep everybody wanting more.

Dean John : Professional DJ and Event Manager

 

What an amazing night it was ! A lot of people are still talking about it !

What a day! We had Colin visit the Marina to perform for our berth holders and they absolutely loved him. Colin worked his way down the pontoons on a lovely sunny day and everyone was having great fun whilst being beyond themselves when he revealed the final parts of his tricks.

Absolute gentleman and great character - Would highly recommend and we certainly hope to see Colin at the Marina again in the future.Thank you Colin!
