Reviews

When Magic Russ became a member of The Magic Circle, he swore an oath never to use his powers to force unsuspecting parents to leave dozens of 5* reviews for him on Facebook and Google.
Fortunately, they decided to do it anyway. Here's what some of them had to say:

Magic Russ helped with my nephew’s 5th birthday celebrations, and I would highly recommend. From the start he emanated calm professionalism - while we all ran around setting up the hall and blowing up balloons! This calm continued when the children (about 20 children and about 30-40 associated adults) started to arrive - children was welcomed with fun balloon animals / swords / aliens, but when the party started - the crowd were all seated and the room was transfixed. Adults and children - no one moved! It was magical (the tricks were great), charming - (getting lots of volunteers to help) and the humour worked for both children and the adult - allowing both groups to relax and enjoy the show, with lots of laughs. Everyone left smiling with lots of happy memories having been made.

Thank you Magic Russ!

Hands down, Magic Russ has to be the best kid’s party entertainment. Not only did the children absolutely love his act but the adults couldn’t help but enjoy his comedic, quick witted and truly brilliant magic! We couldn’t have been happier with Magic Russ’ performance at our son’s 5th birthday party. From initial contact, right through to packing away, Magic Russ is a true gem and I would book him again without hesitation.

We had Magic Russ perform at my daughter’s birthday party and he was fantastic from start to finish. He kept the kids completely entertained, and the parents were laughing and joining in too. His energy, humour, and timing were spot on throughout the whole show.What really stood out was how he made my daughter feel like the star of the show. She was absolutely glowing, and it turned the whole party into something truly special. Every child felt included, and the magic was brilliant — fun, surprising, and perfectly pitched for the age group.Thank you, Russ, for making her birthday unforgettable. Highly recommend.

We booked Magic Russ (and Chico the Monkey and Dave the Wonderdog, credit where it’s due!) after seeing them make another child’s party an absolute breeze a few years ago. It took a bit of googling “west midlands magician with puppet dog” but we found him!So what are you getting when you book Magic Russ?* Great communication * Taking party bags off your list, they all leave with a punch balloon. Give them a wedge of cake, done, that’s £90 on plastic tat saved straight away. * A party co-ordinator, from the moment he arrives Russ makes the plan for timings, and takes the responsibility off you. * An absolutely seamless party. He takes the kids off your hands fully, engages them from the moment they are through the door, gets the adults sat in the right place, then it’s show time, food time, cake time, games time, parting gift time, done. He handles it all and before you know it you’re stowing presents in the car and sweeping up crisps. * Cross generation appeal. The adults laughed as much as the kids. * Legend status for your child, all the kids are still talking about it now, weeks later. * Dave the Wonderdog on the end of the bed - your child gets a new puppet to keep.So as a result I expected his fees to be eye watering?Nope. Incredibly reasonable. Price is available up front in the brochure document Russ sends you when you enquire, no hidden fees or pressured extras, which is so welcome for the times we live in.Hate parties? Take the pressure off yourself, book Magic Russ.

Magic Russ is sensational. He ensured our son's 5th birthday party was an absolute blast. Not only did the children love him, but the adults also found him hilarious. Outstanding birthday party entertainment...and he's already been requested for the 6th birthday party!

Magic Russ, what can I say - thank you so much! You truly entertained everyone. The children had the best time from start to finish, and you made Ralph’s party 🥳 unforgettable.What really stood out was how much the adults enjoyed it too - I had so many parents complimenting how brilliant you were.
