  • Richard Weddell
    Wow - what a magical evening (pun very much intended!). Philip was fabulous and was the glue that held the private dinner party for my wife’s 50th together - he was immediately very engaging and put everyone at their ease, before launching into a series of funny and amazing tricks at the start of the night and then continued more magic between courses. The show was great and his humour throughout was hilarious - everyone (aged 15-76) loved the evening and all said that Philip was superb. Highly recommended!

    "Haven't laughed so much in ages... you were utterly fantastic. You were amazing and everyone thoroughly enjoyed your entertainment. I have been asked more than once when we can next book you. Olivia is already planning her 21st! You deserve all of the praise and every single person who was there, said you were hilarious and impressive. Still can’t get my head round the pothole trick, it was brilliant! In fact the only complaint from the night was from Adam, as when he got home he didn’t have a pool, helipad or orchard! I can guarantee we will be booking again as you totally made the night x”

  • Organisers of the World’s Largest Magic Convention
    “Philip Partridge presented strong entertaining magic in the hilarious style that is now his trademark – balloon dog on a lead with all sorts of very funny gags that had the audience in fits of laughter, even before any magic had been performed. Torn pieces of paper became restored to a full size evening newspaper; a borrowed £5 note was destroyed yet found fully restored inside an inflated balloon. A card prediction & the swallowing of a fully inflated sausage balloon brought this most entertaining act to a close that words in this review cannot do justify to. The magic & entertainment content of this different style of act was presented so professionally that Philip works on a regular basis & on this performance will continue to do so”

    “Thanks for entertaining at our wedding at Rookery Hall. Wow Philip! – You were an absolute hit! Guests are still raving about you and how hilarious you were. How you managed to remember everyone’s names and pull everyone into your act was magic alone! You should be a compulsory part of any event or wedding day as you were so fabulous and incredibly talented. People are still trying to work out how you swallowed that balloon – adults who came to our wedding have talked about you so much their small children who weren’t there can relay all the different things you said and did. You have a unique talent of putting everyone at ease, appealing to everyone’s sense of humour, making all guests feel incredibly important – and you are just so entertaining and clever! We’d recommend you to anyone- for any sort of party or event as hiring you immediately guarantees your event will be an amazing success – and that is invaluable! You were a star!”
