Simon performed at my Mum & Dads 80th birthday party, he was fantastic from when I first contacted him, he was able to advise on what the best type of magic would be for the group of about 60 people mainly adults but with a few children. Simon's communication was excellent and nothing was to much trouble. He took the time to understand what it was that we needed. On the day Simon's magic was amazing he is very skilled at what he does, he was a real highlight of the party, he is very good at engaging people and lots of guests commented on how much they had enjoyed his performance. He made sure that all of our guests were included, he seamlessly moved around the tables and was happy to work around other things that we had arranged during the party.Posted on Trustindex

Absolutely fantastic magician! Your performance was absolutely fantastic! We were initially referred to you by Leigh, and we are so glad we went with his recommendation. Your mind-reading trick was incredible, and everyone was thoroughly impressed. The stopped watch moment left the audience, especially three ladies, completely amazed! The cup and balls trick was equally brilliant—so clever and entertaining. We've received countless comments about how talented and captivating you were. We truly can't recommend you highly enough!Posted on Google
SHARMA GREYSeptember 7, 2026Simon provided close-up magic for the Once Upon a Bus storytelling project at Bray Village Fete and was an outstanding addition to the day. He was thoroughly professional, personable and good-humoured, entertaining guests of all ages with exceptional skill and warmth. Simon worked easily with families and fitted seamlessly into a busy community event. We would not hesitate to recommend him and would be delighted to work with him again!

Liv HurstAugust 29, 2026We cannot recommend Simon highly enough! Simon was the magician at our wedding on 27th August, and he was absolutely incredible from start to finish. His table magic was sensational, and every group he visited was left completely amazed. Throughout the day and evening, guests kept coming up to us to tell us how brilliant he was and how much they had enjoyed watching him. Not only is Simon an exceptionally talented magician, but he’s also warm, friendly and fantastic at engaging with people. He created such a great atmosphere and gave our guests something unique and memorable to experience while everyone was mingling. One of our favourite moments was the personalised signed card trick. Somehow, the signed card turned into one for both me and Trev to keep, and we still have absolutely no idea how he did it! It was such a thoughtful touch and has become a lovely keepsake from our wedding day. Booking Simon was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. He entertained our guests, created unforgettable moments and added something truly special to the day. Thank you, Simon, for helping make our wedding so memorable. We would recommend you without hesitation to anyone looking for a magician for their wedding or special event.Posted on Google

We will definitely be using him again in the future.Posted on Trustindex
TammieJune 16, 2026Magic Evening at The Queens Oak Pub We booked Simon for our Magic Evening at The Queens Oak Pub in June 2026. From our initial contact over the phone with Simon himself, throughout the whole booking process was both seamless & personal. Simon is very professional and was very conscientious to understand fine details about our booking and our audience to best manage our expectations. Simon took the time to meet with us at our venue to allow him to understand the space and layout which is key to any live performance. Simon had a very impressive set up which included an impressive sound system and captivating visuals. Simon’s act was spot on. He is incredibly engaging with his audience and displays the perfect amount of charisma too. Our evening was a complete success, and we would not hesitate to rebook Simon again. The feedback that we received from our audience was formidable. Honestly, look no further and do not hesitate to book Simon Alexander!Posted on Google
Jon BeggJune 8, 2026Simon performed at our event in June ‘26. He did close up magic to guests for a few hours during the reception and was fantastic! The magic was really amazing and feedback from the guests was excellent. He was also very professional from the moment of enquiry and throughout the booking process.Posted on Google
Becky SaundersJune 4, 2026I met Simon at the Froyle Park wedding fair, as soon as I met him and he showed me one magic trick, I knew he was exactly the kind of person I’d want at our wedding drinks reception. He is full of energy, enthusiasm and charm and we went ahead and booked him for our wedding on 29th May at Froyle Park. Every guest has since told us how mind blown they were at his magic, I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets a lot of our guests use him at their weddings, I’ve never seen magic like it. If you are sceptical about booking a magician, don’t be, book Simon and your guests will thank you. Simon thank you for also taking the time to do a personalised trick for me and Toby. We still do not understand how you pulled that off but we are in awe! Thank you for being an integral part to the smooth running of our beautiful Froyle Park wedding. Love Becky & Toby xPosted on Google
John KaneMay 27, 2026Simon came and performed at my 60th birthday celebration in May 2026, where we had approx 80-100 guests. Although we only booked Simon for 90 minutes he performed for over 2 hours and astounded everyone. Simon, just went to the various tables in the room / garden area and just blew everyone's minds away. I would highly recommend Simon, if you were looking for a performer to impress your friends and family.Posted on Google
karchMay 14, 2026Professional and engaging. I booked Simon's services for a special birthday party at home. We had about 50 guests and Simon worked his way around the room seamlessly. He wowed the guests - it was something slightly different to create a talking point and buzz. Highly recommend. Thank you Simon.Posted on Google
Linda NisbetMarch 19, 2026Simon was so easy to work with from the initial contact and preparation call to being so friendly and professional on the day of our wedding. We had so much fantastic feedback from our wedding guests with someone actually booking him shortly afterwards. We chose the MC package and was so happy we did as Simon helps with the coordination of the day making it all flow effortlessly. Thank you Simon!Posted on Google
Mel Griffin, nee BrownMarch 19, 2026Just book him!! You will not be disappointed. 3 weeks after our wedding, and we are all still talking about Simon. Simon attended our wedding as our MC and magician, and he blew our minds. As well as being the most talented man in his field that we've ever met, Simon is calm, happy, funny and was on hand before, during and after the day for all of our questions and requests. In advance of the day, he put together a really amazing planner which prompted us to think of every detail of the day and handily uploaded as a live file so we could both update and share rather than the constant to-ing and fro-ing of sending updated files. The day ran smoothly, everyone thoroughly enjoyed the close-up magic, the music choices and the grand finale. Simon also kindly stayed to greet our evening guests, so everyone was able to enjoy his talent. If you're hesitant, we'd recommend just booking a call, you'll find yourself wanting this guy at your event! Thank you for being such an incredible and key part to our day, Simon. Hopefully our paths cross again one day!Posted on Google
Andrew HarfieldFebruary 26, 2026Simon is a real pleasure to work with at Rivervale Barn. I'm sure he is equally as brilliant at other venues he works with, however for us he really does make a great addition to couples wedding celebrations. I would happily recommend for any couple looking for an MC or magician. We look forward to seeing you again very soon.Posted on Google
Abbey&MattFebruary 2, 2026Simon was our MC and magician at our wedding. He is an amazing magician! We have received so much positive feedback from our guests.

Natalie SJanuary 23, 2026Simon and his colleague have been attending our work Christmas events for a number of years now. With a crowd of 250-300 people, they manage to work the entire room and captivate and amaze everyone with their seemingly impossible feats again and again. Simon’s communication prior to the events has also been exemplary. His professionalism and attention to detail ensure that everything runs smoothly. We genuinely wouldn't choose anyone else for our events. Thank you once again, and we look forward to seeing you at our next event!Posted on Google
David EdmundsDecember 11, 2025Many thanks once again Simon for providing the best experience for my staff on our Christmas outing, from the start your greet and seat approach with hilarious comments went down a treat!

Charlotte CraneNovember 1, 2025We honestly can’t express how grateful we are to Simon for being such an incredible part of our wedding day. The feedback from our guests was nothing short of exceptional — so many people told us that he made the wedding! Simon, you are truly incredible at what you do. Thank you for bringing so much energy and fun to our special day. Would highly recommend to anyone!!Posted on Google
Matthew SmithOctober 20, 2025We had the pleasure of Simon being our Master of Ceremony for our wedding recently and he was absolutely incredible. Leading up to the wedding, he was so organised and worked with us to understand the full plan for the day, and then on the day he took away all of the stress by liasing with our other vendors and making sure everything was set up to perfection throughout the day. He was then the perfect MC, but his magic on the day was what really stole the show. We had guests coming up to us non-stop explaining how amazing his magic was, all our guests were in disbelief from his tricks (as were we!). He then topped off the day with a personalised show for me and Grace which was one of the most impressive things I have ever seen. I cannot recommend Simon enough. Thank you for everything you did and I hope we have the opportunity to do something with you again! Matt & GracePosted on Google

Thank you once again and if anyone is ever unsure whether to book or not, i can confirm that Simon is definitely a great addition to any event.Posted on Google
Julia MorossSeptember 9, 2025Our guests at a recent Corporate event thoroughly enjoyed Simon’s magic, it enhanced the party by not only being highly entertaining but also as a fabulous ice-breaker.

Highly recommend booking him.Posted on Google

Harriet AdamsJuly 28, 2025We had the pleasure of having Simon at our recent annual away weekend for our company of 40 people. He was absolutely fantastic! Incredibly engaging, fun to be around, and so skilled at reading the room — he adapted his performances perfectly to suit our audience. His magic was a real talking point and added something truly special to the day. We would highly recommend him for any occasion — whether it's a summer party, client event, wedding, or anything else where a magician might be needed. He really was excellent and left everyone thoroughly entertained! Thank you so so much Simon - a really great surprise appearance for the team :)Posted on Google
Linda Tabor-ThomasJuly 21, 2025The Events Manager suggested we hire a Magician for my Mum's 85th party so I googled 'magician near me'. Simon's name came up with only 5 star reviews. Having hired him for the party we now know the reason he only gets 5 star reviews, is because its not possible to rate any higher! Simon the human, is a delight to have at your party. He is professional. charming, personable, courteous, friendly, flexible and fun. Simon the magician, is 'pure gold'. He 'wowed' our multi-generational, highly-diverse and challenging crowd, causing squeals of amazement and roars of laughter. The constant refrain was 'that's amazing, how does he do that' plus the skeptics saying 'I've been studying him and can't work it out' and others 'I'm blown away, it's unbelievable but I saw it happen with my own eyes'. Simon will make your event truly magicalPosted on Google
Mark GrubbJuly 21, 2025This is the Second time we have had Simon perform his wonderful Magic and as usual he didn't disappoint. Very professional and always a mystery !Posted on Trustindex

Lucy CliftonJuly 8, 2025I invited Simon to perform at our recent corporate event, and he was absolutely fantastic!

Highly recommended for any event where you want to impress and entertain!Posted on Google
Jo CowanJuly 1, 2025Wow what a fabulous night of fun and magic. We booked Simon for our joint wedding celebration and my husband’s 70th birthday party, and he really didn’t disappoint. His magic was amazing and had everyone talking about it for days after. He was professional, slick and a wonderful magician who gave that “pizzazz’ to our party.Posted on Google
Kelly ChapmanJuly 1, 2025We had the wonderful Simon for our wedding on the 26th April and we have to say he was absolutely amazing. Simon was so lovely, easy to deal with, he was easy to book, and he checked in with us in the lead up to our big day on a couple of occasions which was great as we had so much to organise. We had Simon working his way around the gardens whilst we had our drinks reception and then he kindly asked us if we would like him to announce us into the dining barn, we were absolutely delighted that he did this for us, he did an amazing job getting all our guests ready for our arrival. He then went around the tables during wedding breakfast inbetween courses. The magic was wonderful, our guests are still talking about how he did certain tricks. We were all completely mind blown by the magic. Simon, from the bottom of our hearts thank you so much for making our wedding so special. We hope to see you again when we have another party.Posted on Google
Marylin Ittiyera VazhappillyJune 11, 2025Simon is truly a wonderful (or should I say magical) person. We would highly recommend Simon as a host for any event. Simon was the magical host at our wedding. In theory having a magician at a wedding seemed funny. But it was the best decision we made that day (aside from saying “I do” of course) . Every single guest at our wedding has come to us personally to let us know how much they enjoyed his presence. His hosting and magical skills wowed the audience and kept them all engaged and laughing. We had two ceremonies on the same day and Simon kept the day going smoothly, by helping us keep time for the different parts of the day and helped all guests mingle with his amazing magic tricks. We didn’t have a thing to worry about. More importantly, Simon’s personality impressed us the most! From the time we engaged with him, he was so thoughtful, kind and mindful of the little details, learning about our families, being sensitive and respectful to our cultural nuances. From the first day we spoke to him over the phone, and every time we spoke to him thereafter, he left us feeling great. Very few people have the ability to make others feel amazing like he does. When we met we found that he is even more lovely in-person! Also, Simon shares a run sheet template that is perfect! It helped us visualise the whole day going into the details and what ultimately led to the day going very smoothly. We couldn’t recommend Simon more for any event (corporate or family) if you want it to be fun, memorable and engaging. He is a thorough professional and we were lucky to have him be a part of our special day.Posted on Google
Julian SpoonerApril 29, 2025Simon did close -up magic and a show at our big event. He was outstanding! Not only was his magic extraordinary, and impossible to understand how it could be done, but he was great with people, and funny. I’ve had lots of feedback from my guests all of which is highly positive. I need to organise another event so I can use Simon again. Thanks Simon! Highly recommended.Posted on Google
Carina NixonFebruary 27, 2025We booked Simon for a lunchtime corporate celebration (circa 2 hours for 50-60 people). Having watched a promo video and read the online reviews I felt confident that he would be exactly what we wanted for our event and he certainly did not disappoint. The team are still discussing his tricks, and 'How did he do it?' seems to be a constant phrase around the office. I would also say that many of the tricks he performed were things we had never seen before - I myself am still trying to figure out the watch trick! As well as being a fantastic magician, Simon had great charisma and was excellent at reading the room - being lunchtime booking, he selected his audience carefully according to whether individuals were in conversation/eating to maximise their attention and engagement levels, as well as ensuring that he covered the whole team - he even performed for our receptionists much to their delight. We would not hesitate to recommend Simon and we will definitely consider him again for future functions.Posted on Google
Claire LongFebruary 24, 2025Fantastic stage show from Simon on Saturday! Full house and such a great response! Brilliant magic, fun and funny - totally recommend. Also a total pro and very easy to work with.Posted on Google
Oxford Sailing ClubFebruary 24, 2025Simon just rounded off our Sailing Club awards dinner evening perfectly – we had around 40 of our exceptional Club members for an awards and ‘thank you’ dinner, and I needed a focal and memorable end to the evening. For the Club it was a double first – the awards dinner and to have professional entertainment laid on, so I was ‘on the edge’ and nervous as hell that it would work as planned. Firstly, he is a good communicator – email and phone, a short chat about what I wanted and who we were, got us on the same page, and from then the booking process was straight forwards. To the evening – he arrived early and sets up, talks through what he needs, but doesn’t give too much away – to cut to the chase it was a brilliantly orchestrated combination of magic, humour, influencing and showmanship – bringing the audience into the show and stunning us with some impossible magic. It was personal, but not so slick that you felt he was just going through the motions – he adapted when the audience reacted or engaged with him - he never lost his stride. Many of the guests at the dinner have personally thanked me for hosting the evening and laying on the magic show. They will all remember the evening, and word has got round to those that weren’t on the invitation list!Posted on Google
Sam WoodbridgeFebruary 20, 2025Highly recommend Simon to bring the magic to your event . He amazed our guests at our 25th anniversary party. His work is unbelievable! Thank you Simon.Posted on Google
Sandra WhiteheadFebruary 19, 2025Simon got rave reviews from all our event attendees - they loved his magic at the tables and the show after our meal was really quite something! Thank you Simon. SandraPosted on TrustindexcarolineFebruary 4, 202521st Birthday Party We hired Simon for our daughters 21st birthday party. Simon worked around all the guests and left a lot of them speechless with his magic. Everyone thought Simon was amazing and great fun, it was a great ice breaker as well. We would highest recommend Simon if you are looking for a magician.Posted on Trustindex
Shellie PrewettDecember 9, 2024A magical evening experience! Simon attended our work Christmas Party and it was an amazing evening, full of everything you would want a magician to bring,...surprises, engagement and most of all magic! Feedback from the team was really positive and they all had a great night. Thoroughly recommend for an evening full of fun and laughter!Posted on Google
Philip FosterDecember 9, 2024A brilliant addition to our Xmas party this year, with close up magic that left our team in amazement (anf still trying to figure it all out days later!). The show at the end topped it all off nicely. I would thoroughly recommend.
So, this event you’re organising: it’s a lot of work, isn’t it? So many choices!
The good news is that you’re in safe hands. I perform at 150 to 200 events annually and have hundreds of independently rated customer reviews on Trust Index. You can also view my many Corporate Magician Testimonials from well-known companies across the globe.
So what is my style? Well, two things sum up my performance style: I’m skilled and I’m great fun. If you watch me at any live event, you’ll see two reactions from my audience. They will either be unselfconsciously gasping or laughing out loud… and what event couldn’t benefit from that? Whether you want to bring people together with some close-up magic or make a big impact from the stage, I will have a package to suit your event.And speaking of style…
My magic can even leave the best man lost for words!
From experience, I know that the entertainment you chose can have a HUGE impact on your event. That’s why I have put in thousands of hours, mastering my craft and honing my magical repertoire to include sleight-of-hand strong enough to look like real magic to jaw-dropping telekinesis. I can confound people with mentalism and mind-reading or even recreate the Uri Geller illusion of transforming cutlery into rubber in a spectator’s hand. And everything I perform with can be examined.
Audiences love that I use simple, everyday objects in my magic, often borrowed from the spectators themselves. There are no weird props or strange boxes. The most unusual thing I carry is a pack of cards… oh, and a teacup! Simply put, I have nothing to hide behind but my own skills… and that’s a situation I love. More importantly, my spectators love it, too.
Yes, I am! In 2004, I joined The Magic Circle, the world’s most celebrated society for magicians. Later, I was promoted to Associate of The Inner Magic Circle for performance excellence. This is the highest level achievable based solely on ability.
In 2018, I won second place in the UK’s most prestigious close-up magic competition, The Magic Circle Close-Up Magician of The Year. So, you can be confident that your guests will experience world-class magic from an award-winning magician. They even gave me a certificate to prove it!
