» Testimonials

"We would like to take the opportunity to write a few words to say thank you very much for your services on our wedding day. Every single person we have spoken to since the wedding has mentioned how good you were. In fact I know this first hand as I followed you around for pretty much the duration of your stay! I thoroughly enjoyed your entertainment and the response from all our guests, including my chuffed wife! In short you were definitely money well spent and we would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone else that would like some wow factor into their wedding / party!"
- Paul & Lola House, Wedding At Quendon Hall, April 2008

"Our Members were thoroughly entertained, mesmerized and amazed by the powers of Andrew Edmonds. In an evening which consisted of pre-dinner drinks followed by a meal and cabaret, Andrew's ability to capture his close up audience, as well as engage a wider audience, was nothing short of masterful. We are still talking about him and continue to wonder...! Thank you Andrew for giving our members a thoroughly enjoyable evening"
- Alison Gourlay, Marketing & Communications Manager, The Landsdowne Club, September 2007

"Jon and I just want to say how fantastic you were at our wedding in March 08. You were one of the highlights of the day. Everyone at the wedding that witnessed you was left amazed and astounded, including us! People were even asking if we'd supplied you with information about them, as they could not believe what they had experienced, we assured them that we hadn't! We really cannot thank you enough and I would recommend anyone wanting to add that something special to their wedding, party, whatever to book you without hesitation."
- Heather and Jon Thompson, Wedding, March 2008

"Dear Andrew, I just felt I had to drop you a line to say thank you so so much for making my birthday dinner party - well magical!!!!! The whole show was absolutely Fantastic! You totally enthralled my mum and amazed my sister and even my cynical friend had to begrudgingly admit that you were thoroughly captivating and were quite the showman! You instantly
built up a great rapport with us creating an intimate, friendly and personal show which resulted in us all having an excellent time and the evening just flew by all too soon. Thank you for a sensational evening!"
- Vicky Baker, Private Party, March 2008

"To anybody thinking of giving an amazing twist to their party celebrations you should definitely consider using Andrew Edmonds. I used Andrew at my wife's 40th birthday party (held at home with 50 guests) and he was a major hit. Originally I asked Andrew to "work the party" by doing some close up work with small groups. It was evident within 10 minutes that I'd made a great choice, and this led to me arranging for Andrew to close off with a 30mins cabaret session which got everyone involved, and made our party feel very unique compared to the usual drinks, food, dancing formula. Not only did Andrew give our party an added dimension, he was very flexible in terms of the arrangements, was extremely convincing and credible, and everyone warmed to him. People are still talking about our party many weeks later!"
- Phillip Hudson, Private Party, Beaconsfield, May 2006

"I was given the task of organising our office Christmas Party for the second time and had to come up with something exciting to surpass the previous year and the expectations of the staff. Thank goodness for internet search engines! I came across various entertainers but it was Andrew's Cabaret Show that grabbed my attention - and boy was I glad it did?! My colleagues, who are a demanding and difficult bunch to please, were amazed and impressed with the mind tricks - especially at discovering the telepathic tendencies between our two Chairmen! Andrew was the highlight of our night; fun and entertaining and, as a Travel Management Company, will be in our minds (pardon the pun) to recommend to clients for events. Just one more thing � Andrew, I am still perplexed as to how you got the ice-cream?!?!"
- Rebecca Brown, The Appointment Group, December 2005

"Everybody thought you were amazing. Absolutely wonderful. You made the party so special for us and really impressed our crowd! Thank you so much, it was much more than I had hoped for. You were great. Your business cards disappeared from the table, as everyone wanted one!!"
- Tony and Gaynor Vincent, Camberley, April 2006

"We booked Andrew for my wife's birthday party in February 2006 and I am pleased to confirm that we were absolutely delighted with the results. Our 120 or so guests ranged in age from 0 to 80+ and a significant majority are of Caribbean or African origin. Andrew started with 'close-up' work at each table and finished with a cabaret show and he astonished and amazed everyone. Upon arrival he got to work straight away and mingled with our friends and relatives without any need for introductions and he charmed and tricked them all, in some cases over and over again. For the last section of the cabaret he enlisted both of us to prove that I could read my wife's mind (I wish!) and that we can communicate through telepathy and I still can't work out how he did it. We have no hesitation in recommending Andrew the Magic Man to you if you want to add a special pzazz to your event or party - he is a real professional."
- Phil Robinson and Yvette Cort, London, Feb 2006

"We both have to say that Andrew was exceptional at our wedding. He performed two cabaret performances for us and some close up magic and all the guests were extremely impressed and have been talking about it ever since. Andrew was very professional and helped to make our day that extra bit special. We would recommend him and would definitely use him again if the occasion arose."
- Kirsty & Dimitry Milsom, Wedding at Soho House, London, September 2005

"You clearly have a "magical" skill the likes of which I have rarely seen before!"
- Steve Scruton, BBC Essex Radio

"Andrew Edmonds is a remarkable magician whose close-up work will leave you astounded. More remarkable as far as I was concerned was his correctly predicting a card chosen by a listener to my radio show, in front of several witnesses in the studio: she was on the phone in Gibraltar at the time, and was astounded by Andrew's correct prediction! So, both close up and at extremely long range, Andrew is spot on. Highly recommended."
- Simon Guettier, BFBS - Forces Radio

"Thank you for helping to make our evening even more special. I have had wonderful feedback about you - people were very impressed."
- Karin Ridgers, Event Manager, Essex Enquirer Newspaper

"I thought the magician was ace! He had the perfect personality for the job - very endearing - and really engaged with his audience. I was quite spooked by his ESP trick and also have to keep checking my watch in case the hands have inexplicably leapt forward again. I'd hire him for sure"
- Alice Harper, Television Director

Show Options:

"Close-Up"
A close-up magician has become a very popular choice of entertainment over the last five years with the popularity of David Blaine and Derren Brown gracing our screens. Indeed, a new wave of young and modern magicians have emerged, leaving behind the old style magician in top hat and tails pulling rabbits out of hats as a thing of the past. Yes, it's true, magicians are becoming trendy!

Just Imagine:
Playing cards changing whilst you hold them. Being told the name of a close friend you are just thinking of. Having a drawing perfectly duplicated despite it being unseen throughout. Being touched when those around you swear blind you weren't. Having a number of completely free choices predicted ahead of time. Having a chance to win £20 in simple game of 'Which hand is the coin in?'

By combining visual magic with psychological mind control techniques, you get a very unique form of entertainment that will leave your audience in disbelief. This is not traditional magic with wands and sponge balls.

Andrew will perform in an environment where he can freely walk around and mingle with different groups, sitting or standing. All the magic is performed right under your nose and is fun, mystifying and, above all else, memorable.

Whether you are looking for wedding entertainment, corporate entertainment or something special for your private function, Andrew's intimate style won't interrupt the flow of your event, but it will certainly provide the ultimate in interactive entertainment for your guests - a sure-fire way to
make sure that they have an unforgettable evening.

"Cabaret"

This type of show is ideal for large audiences between 20 and 1000.

Throwing away the sleight of hand tools of the magician, Andrew will concentrate purely on mind control techniques and perform a cabaret act of the psychological games variety.

He will put ideas into people's heads, alter their thought patterns and second guess decisions they make. People will experience demonstrations of telepathy, mind reading and psychic connectivity.

Andrew Will:
- Demonstrate how easy it is to tell when people are lying.
- Influence people to choose a 3 digit number written down in advance.
- Reveal details about people that only they could possible know.
- Help two audience members to read each others mind.

Andrew's show is interactive, humourous and mystifying so if you are after something a little different for your event and want your guests to be talking for days afterwards then get in touch as soon as possible to book Andrew for your event.

A stage, or spacial area is required. Please note, this act can be performed in a medium / large living room.

Performance can be 30, 45 or 60 minutes in duration.

"Parlour"

This performance is more suited to a small gathering of up to 20 people. It is a middle ground between a close-up act and a cabaret show.

Like the cabaret, Andrew will perform psychological mind tricks to everyone at the same time, however, the routines are shorter and more intimate. No stage area is required, which makes it an ideal form of entertainment for small private dinner parties where Andrew can entertain in your own living room!

Performance is 45 minutes.
