Private Party Magician:

"Wow. Thanks so much for doing such a wonderful job at my party on Saturday. Your ears have been burning, as all my guests have been talking about you and your magic – and a couple of my friends definitely want to marry you!

Thanks again – hope to see your magic again some day soon.

Regards  Jo

PS I will leave a comment on your website also."

"This man is a total professional. I didn't know him before my party, but he was absolutely charming, and brilliant at what he does - MAGIC - if you have any doubts ....don't! book David, and he will completely enchant your guests."

- Jo - 50th birthday party - Overton, Hampshire

Corporate Magician:

"Dear David

I just wanted to write and let you know how lovely it was to meet you and how much we all enjoyed having you at our Summer Event yesterday. Everyone who attended said how fantastic you were and how much they enjoyed your tricks (you were so good in fact that some people thought you and I must be in cahoots otherwise how could you have done such tricks!) – quite simply you were Magic!

I have given your contact details to one of our employees as she thought they might book you for future her sister-in-law’s wedding.

I hope that you managed to catch up with your friend and that you were not too tired out after all that driving and your outstanding performance.

Kind regards

Jayne"

Magician for Television:

"Consummate professional and genius! Dave performed card tricks repeatedly to perfection under the demanding environment of filming for television. It was thoroughly enjoyable working with him and the show he did for everyone in the office still has everyone totally flummoxed and talking about it! Thanks again Dave!"

- Emma Marshall - Sky Sports  - London

-----------------------------

Magician for Private Party:

"For the food and the wine, there's the credit card. For a truly memorable evening, there's David Bonsall. My wife's birthday celebration would have been lovely as it was; with David there it was truly magical. Thank you."

Mark Sweeny - North London

-----------------------------

Wedding Magician:

"David clearly has an excellent reputation and has performed all over the world and as such we were expecting him to be very expensive. We made our enquiry via email and were immediately impressed with his prompt and detailed response, which also included a very competitive price. We booked David immediately for our wedding in July. Unfortunately due to personal reasons we had to move the wedding forward and when we contacted David to rearrange the date he was very accommodating to ensure that we were still able to have him perform on the new date in June. On the day David arrived early as promised and was as friendly and professional as we had come to expect from our previous correspondence with him. With regards to his performance we would simply sum it up as superb!!!. So many of our guests commented on how fantastic his magic was and throughout the night he was a talking point and a definite highlight and we would recommend him to anyone without hesitation. David, our wedding was perfect and you played a big part in helping to achieve that. Many many thanks. Best wishes in the future, Charlie and Kate Ellis"

- Charles and Kate Ellis - Wedding - Kingston Bagpuize House, Oxford

-----------------------------

Magician for Private Party:

"David is totally awesome! Such a talented and clever man, he entertained the guests at my 50th birthday party to the extent where all anybody could talk about afterwards was him!! 'How did he do that?...' seemed to be the question everyone was asking. We were utterly amazed at what he did. If you never book anyone else in your life, book this man for your special occasion and you will remember it forever. I can't thank him enough for making my birthday extra 'magical'."

- Jane Keohane - Birthday Party - Edwinns Brasserie, Hampshire

-----------------------------

Corporate Magician for Champagne Reception:

"David - thank you very much for keeping us all highly entertained again at Tower Bridge Walkways last night. It was a magical venue itself and your magical skills just were the icing on the cake. Everyone was excited to welcome your return having seen you last Xmas – and those that missed you were eager to catch up on the surprise, so you already had a captive audience in the first instance! How cool is that! The finger & knife trick just makes me scream every time!

I hope you managed to get home Ok - what with my boss collaring you for some last minute magic as you were leaving - thanks for amusing him.

Hope to see you sometime again soon - many many thanks"

- Jackie Bassom, Office of President, Bechtel Civil GBU - Staff Party - London

-----------------------------

Wedding Magician:

"Dear Dave,

Thank you soooo much for being so brilliant at our wedding - people couldn't stop talking about you and you're still mentioned whenever people talk about the wedding!"

We'd be more than happy to provide a review or testimonial should you like one, and have been highly recommending you to everyone! Once again thanks!

- Jo, David & Bump - Wedding - Vaulty Manor, Maldon, Essex

-----------------------------

Wedding Magician:

"Dear Dave,

Thank you so much, you gave us and our guest something to remember!

- Laura & Mark - Wedding - Fareham, Hampshire

-----------------------------

Corporate Magician and Table Magician:

"Dear David,

We all had an absolute blast yesterday and you were the talk of the evening and now all I’ve heard this morning is “he was amazing, how did he do that?” – so thank you for making the event extra special. I do hope that you get a lot of referrals from the evening, you certainly deserve all the business - my boss Mike Adams was very impressed, so listen out for him calling you to do a party as I’m sure he will.

You have to be something kind of special with the illusions that you performed that had every jaw in the place dropping to the floor!!!"

- Jackie Bassom, Office of President, Bechtel Civil GBU - Christmas Party - London

-----------------------------

Wedding Magician and Table Magician:

"David was absolutely wonderful, I do not know where to begin really. The magic was truly impressive, unbelievable actually, and everyone was amazed by it all. One of the children became David's shadow on the night and David did not mind at all, even giving him a pack of cards of his own. Everyone was asking where we found the magician, I think David will get a few more bookings from our family and friends.


David thank you for helping make our day the best ever."

- Ros and Stewart Barnes - Wedding - The Ware Priory, Hertfordshire

-----------------------------

Wedding Magician and Table Magician:

"We booked David to perform at our recent wedding reception, and despite being involved in a car accident on the way David showed what a great professional he is by still managing to get to the venue. When he arrived he was straight into stride and literally had people open mouthed in amazement and joy at the extraordinary feats he was performing.

It was wonderful to see the delight and disbelief of all of our guests as David performed. He is a class act and was an integral part of our special day.

The range and quality of his skill has to be seen to be believed and I would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone who is organising a party. Our guests haven't stopped talking about him and how impressed they were.
Thank you David for a truly outstanding performance"

- Andy and Christine Page - Wedding - Rose Bowl, Southampton, Hampshire

-----------------------------

Wedding Magician and Table Magician:

"I don't really know how to begin praising this exceptionally talented man. He is quite simply a genius! We had guests of all ages from 2 to 80 years of age and David kept all of them spellbound. At one point all the children were playing and the adults were fighting to get a space to watch David! If you are considering hiring a magician for an event, this guy is first class. David, everyone thought you were fantastic and you helped make our day extra special. I can't thank you enough."

- Mrs Sheridan Clark, sheridan.saunders@sky.com - Wedding - Port Solent, Portsmouth, Hampshire

-----------------------------

Magician for Christmas party:

"We asked David to perform at our staff Christmas drinks party and were truly astounded by his amazing tricks. He is a terrific magician and everyone enjoyed the evening - it definitely was the talking point the following day! David was very smartly dressed for the occasion and came over as a true professional. We most definitely would recommend him to all."

- Pam Gomer, Ilchester Estates - Christmas Party - Dorchester

-----------------------------

Magician for private party:

"What can I say - David was fantastic. I booked David to keep the adults entertained at my sons first birthday - he was excellent. We really had quite a varied mix of ages, and ethnic mix as well (60% Asian) but David managed to keep everyone entertained throughout. Everybody was impressed with his magic.

A really nice guy who I am sure will progress even further in his career."

- Divya Mathur - Birthday Party - Woldingham Golf Course, Surrey

-----------------------------

Corporate Magician:

"We have used Dave and the team he had with him for the last couple years at our annual Awards night and he has been fabulous!

We have around 500 staff attend and everyone that saw them thought they were great, hence the reason we bring them back each year!

I would definitely recommend Dave to any function you have!."

- Fiona Johnston - Annual Awards Night - Portsmouth Guildhall, Hampshire

-----------------------------

Wedding Magician and Table Magician:

"We were looking for a magician to entertain us and our guests at our wedding. David kindly came to our home to give us a demonstration of the kind of magic he would perform. This was fantastic and we knew straight away we had to book him!
On the day he was on time, well presented, always smiling, and very polite and courteous to all. He greeted us and said goodbye personally. So many guests have commented to us how much they enjoyed the magic and how good David is! There were gasps of disbelief, astounded guests so impressed by the amazing tricks, including myself and my husband! David was a real talking point for the day and everyone was impressed. David is an excellent magician, a great entertainer and a nice guy. There was a very loud cheer as he waved goodbye to the room, and that said it all! I would recommend him to anyone for their wedding or event. Thanks David."

- Lindsay Healy - Wedding - The Ware Priory, Hertfordshire (also see below comment)

-----------------------------

Magician for birthday party:

"David performed his mix and mingle magic for 55 people at my 50th Birthday party. It was so interesting to see those who were ready to dismiss him totally won over.

My only disappointment was that I had to be sociable and missed much of the action! Everyone was talking about him and still are and it really did get everyone together.

I cannot recommend him highly enough."

- Lynne Riley - Birthday Party - Chapter One, Bromley, Kent

-----------------------------

Wedding Magician and Table Magician:

"Dear David, Thank you so much for the brilliant entertainment you provided for our wedding on 6th October at Ware Priory. (I have already commented on your website I know).

Just wanted to reiterate that you made the afternoon even more perfect and you were a great success with us and all our guests, it was great fun and we would definitely recommend you, thanks once again."

- Lindsay and Oliver Healy - Wedding - The Ware Priory, Hertfordshire (see also above comment)

-----------------------------

Magician for Private Party:

"We first saw David at a charity fair at Woburn Abbey. We found his magic so enthralling that we asked him to perform at our daughter's sixteenth birthday party. Everyone loved him. David's particular style of engaging with small groups and encouraging participation makes the event so much more memorable for all concerned.
My advice is simple, book David!"

- Michael Derek Palmer - Birthday Party - Biddenham/Bedford

-----------------------------

Table Magician:

"WOW! What can I say? This man is brilliant. His magic is mind blowing, his people skills fantastic. He truly added that magic touch to a very special day.
David was faced with more little people than perhaps he would have liked and they stuck to him like glue! However, he entertained them just as brilliantly as the adults. I would recommend him for any event"

- Caroline - Family Party - South West London

-----------------------------

Christmas Party Magician:

"Just to say a HUGE thank you for coming to our Christmas party last night. You were absolutely brilliant and everyone was astounded by your magic! It was fantastic.

Many thanks again for your help."

- Natalie, Fountain Court Chambers Christmas Party - Temple, London

-----------------------------

Strolling Magician:

"A wonderful performer. Unobtrusive, charming and awe inspiring. Best summed up by one of my guests who said. " I really did believe in magic."

- Francis - Private Party - West London

-----------------------------

Party Magician:

"Hi David

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for your amazing entertainment on Saturday night...........every single person there has said how much they enjoyed it (a few of them couldn't talk on Sunday morning due to laughing so much!) - and I know it will be a talking point for ages!

Thank you so much - and I know you already have plenty but if you ever need another reference site please pass on my details.

Best wishes

Vanessa"

Magician for Christmas Party:

"We all had an absolute blast yesterday and you were the talk of the evening and now all I’ve heard this morning is “he was amazing, how did he do that?” – so thank you for making the event extra special. I do hope that you get a lot of referrals from the evening, you certainly deserve all the business - my boss Mike Adams was very impressed, so listen out for him calling you to do a party, as I’m sure he will.

Did you know that there was a camera crew filming an episode of Dr Who outside the restaurant at midnight last night – I did say you were an alien didn’t I - maybe you’re a TimeLord after all – you have to be something kind of special with the illusions that you performed that had every jaw in the place dropping to the floor!!! "

- Jackie Bassom - Office of President, Bechtel Civil GBU - Christmas Party, Paternoster Square London

-----------------------------

Magician for Private Party:

"Dear David

Just a short note to thank you for such a wonderful performance last Friday lunchtime. I can assure you that you had everyone transfixed and it was such a perfect way to round off the luncheon.

I now have two grandsons who are budding magicians and two sons who are totally fed up with re-rolling the "magic" wands!

I am often responsible for arranging conferences and events for my clients and I will have no hesitation in recommending your performance whenever possible.

Once again, David - very many thanks for a truly professional performance."

- Andrew Cross - Private family party - RAC Clubhouse, Pall Mall, London

We found you through a recommendation and many of our guests have asked for your contact details. We are sure you will continue to intrigue and delight people wherever you appear!"

- Linda & Roger Simpson - 21st Birthday Celebrations, Guildford, Surrey

"David performed at our Charity Summer Ball to celebrate 10 years of business at Ministry of Hair. The feedback I have received from all of the guests regarding David Bonsall's performance as he mingled amongst them, amazing them with his magic, has been fantastic and has been a talking point for many since holding the event.
Many of the guests requested his details and I personally would recommend his services to anyone wishing to hire a magician for any event."

I found the magic amazing - he's very skilful! I'd definitely recommend him!."

Thank you so much for Saturday evening. I am not joking - people haven't stopped talking about you since our party on Saturday night! They were so impressed and you really contributed to the party being a success.

You have been highly recommended to everyone and hopefully we will see you again soon.

Thanks so much for helping the evening go with such a BANG.

We just wanted to say a huge thank you for your performance at our charity ball on Saturday. All of our guests have commented on how brilliant you were and I can assure you, you were the sole topic of conversation at the breakfast tables in the hotel on Sunday morning!

We made almost £3,000 for the two charities on the night which is a fabulous result, coupled with the fact that we all had a very enjoyable evening! Who could ask for more?

Thanks again and we hope to work with you again the the future,

"Dear David,

Thank you so much for being part of mine and Will's wedding. I am so glad I found you. I still can't believe how you managed to make my ring disappear, to then pull it out of the zipped pocket in your wallet!! Unbelievable!!
Our friends and family have done nothing but talk about how impressed they were with you and your tricks.
You were so professional, right until the last minute when you shook our hand to say goodbye.
Both myself and Will didn't get the chance to talk to you properly, but we are so grateful to you. Thank you. I will certainly be recommending your services to everyone I know. Take Care, regards"
