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

"Just wanted to say thanks for a great evening, guests were very impressed, spooked might describe it better, brilliant"

Susan Hart, 50th Birthday, April 2008

"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. Kind regards Heather and Jon"

Heather 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. As for how you did some of the things you did - well I think we'll be talking about that for ages to come (are you positive you didn't touch me that night??? and how on earth did you do that with the time and the watch with my mum and sister!!????) So, once again, thank you for a sensational evening!!!!!"

Vicky Baker, Private Party, March 2008

"Just wanted you to know that we thought your act was fabulous and you were very charming. Thank you for being so professional it was great."

Yve SMith, ICAEW Chartered Accountants, December 2007

"Just a quick email to thank you very much for entertaining everyone at our party. Everyone is still talking about you and have been left utterly amazed. They keep asking me how you done it..........like I have a clue!! I'm really pleased we found you and wont hesitate to recommend you our friends and associates. Have a great Christmas and I hope we have the opportunity to call upon your services again."

Gary Kelly, Anthony Hicks Ltd, December 2007

"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

"Everyone was astounded at the close up work and he worked the tables very well, so no one felt left out. We then went through into the Library for the cabaret and the half hour went all too quickly. Not only did he do some great tricks of the mind he made us laugh and controlled things very well. He really was the talking point of the evening yesterday. It made my party into an event that we shall all remember. Some guests asked for some business cards as many would like to have him do some things for them. Many thanks all went very well indeed, I will definitely recommend both yourselves and Andrew "

Feedback from Scott Jordan Entertainment on behalf of client, September 2007.

"Many thanks for your great performance at Julie and Jonathan's wedding at Maidens Barn on Friday, our guests spoke very highly of your skills and were all amazed. Thank you. "

Alex Campbell, August 2007.

"Just a line to thank you for coming to Rosalie and Nicho’s wedding last Sat. All the guests were mesmerised by your magic and very complimentary about your performance."

Anne Powell-Evans, Wedding at Great Tangley Manor, June 2007.

"Andrew Edmonds is a very talented magician who has worked for my event management company, Fusion Promotions, on many occasions over the last two years. He has performed his close up and cabaret sets at various high class functions and has amazed, enthralled, baffled but, more importantly, entertained all present. He is a wonderful showman who injects an infectious charm in his performances which warms his audience to him. I have received nothing but praise for his performances. His psychological mind tricks set him apart from your traditional magician and this is what initially attracted me to him as I was keen to offer something a little different to my clients. I have found Andrew to be the consummate professional; very punctual and happy to change his plans to suit the event, even at the last minute. I highly recommend Andrew's services to anyone looking for something a bit different to add that extra dimension to their event. Rest assured that once you have seen him in action you will have no hesitation in booking him again. I only wish I could affect my client’s minds as well as he can - a real skill. "

Anna Eden, Fusion Promotions Event Management Company, July 2007

"I felt I just had to write to you and say how much everyone enjoyed your magic on Saturday evening. Your contribution to our celebrations made a great impact and everyone was saying how marvellous it was. I shall be recommending you highly to friends and acquaintances. Thank you once again"

Sue Brooker, Wedding at Easthampstead Park Conference Centre, June 2007

"All of us here at PwC actuarial just wanted to say thanks for an amazing performance at our party last thursday evening. I know it was a smaller gathering than you're used to but everyone was totally enthralled right to the end and you worked the crowd brilliantly. I spotted at least 2 of my bosses following you around for most of the night and we're still scratching our heads as to how you pulled off those incredible card tricks....I have already and will continue to recommend you to everybody and I really hope we can see you again here, perhaps at one of our bigger summer events. "

Paul R Winks, Actuarial and Insurance Management Solutions, May 2007.

"I was celebrating my 50th birthday with organising my own party, a black tie event, and dreading it as I so wanted a successful and memorable evening, not only for me but all my 60 guests, some of whom were travelling from overseas. I had the champagne, the dress, the food and the equipment organised, but was stuck for something different to put on, something entertaining and came across an idea one evening when talking to my husband who jokingly said that I was like a child in planning my party and that all I needed was a magician! With that said, I quickly browsed the internet for magicians in Essex and managed to whittle it down to 4. After many emails to the four I had chosen, I closed my deal on Andrew, simply because he shared the same name as my nephew and I had a deeply gutted vibe. After a few sleepless nights just prior to the event, because you just never know just how good these entertainers are, speaking to him on the telephone totally reassured me and I couldn’t wait for the big evening. I was like a child, so excited and so cunning! He turned up, so confident and so charming and a few lady guests thinking he was rather dishy! He immediately proceeded to do his arranged close-up mingling work, totally baffling me and my guests. The evening was going down a hoot and I was left to enjoy my party knowing that my guests were in good hands. He ended his evening by performing a 30 min show and we all crammed into my lounge to see him, as we were all totally amazed by this lovely man. We still talk about his appearance and still in awe of him and how he managed to “trick” us. I can’t say thank you enough to Andrew. He was just what I needed to ensure that my very special 50th birthday party went just as I had dreamed. I was totally overwhelmed the whole evening. I couldn’t have asked for a nicer and more professional gent. I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone! You will not be disappointed. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Andrew."

Teresa Crawford, Feb 2007

"A quick note to say how much everybody at my party enjoyed your act.I know that you were the talking point for many of my friends and without exception they all enjoyed the "magic" and the banter.I would recomend you to anybody and will use you when we have a party at my new company."

Ted Williams, Jan 2007

"Just a line to say thank you for what you did for us on Friday. It just couldn't have been better - everyone said how amazing you were. I sincerely hope you get some spin off business from it. If anyone asks we shall definitely give you huge recommendations. Thanks again "

Julien Courtauld, Courtenham Warehousing & Distribution Ltd, Nov 2006

"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

"We just wanted to drop you a line to thank you for performing at our wedding. We honestly had no idea that you were going to put on such an amazing a display as you did! The quality of your illusions was fantastic and some of your mind-tricks would easily rival the likes of David Blaine and Derren Brown! Our guests were full of praise for you and it was obvious to see that they were genuinely taken aback by the unbelievable quality of your work. Your presence at our reception added so much to our day and will be a talking point for years to come! Thanks a million! "

Scott Lewis - Team Leader, August 2004

"I wanted to make my wife's 40th Birthday party a bit special by doing something different. Although the hog roast was a talking point, the 'magic man' was the star of the evening. Andrew mingled with small groups at a time and without fail, puzzled and mesmerised us all. It was a great ice breaker and gave people who didn't know each other a reason to chat. Everyone loved it, from our 9 year old son to our 90 year old neighbour, and my wife enjoyed the praise for finding such an unusual and talented entertainer"

Steve OBrien, Executive Search Director

"Andrew's magic added a wonderful spark to our staff Christmas Party, and had everyone talking about his tricks for days afterwards. Highly enjoyable!"

Kirsty Mellon, Office Manager, AKQA

"Thank you once again for all your efforts on our wedding day - it really did make it special, and our guests are still talking about your magic - great stuff!

Amy Williams

"A very bizarre experience, unexplainable magic being performed right in front your eyes. Excellent!"

Jacqui McCann, Entertainment manager at Writtle College

"I just thought I would drop you a line to thank you for your performance at our party. You went down very well with our friends and got everybody talking about how it was done. You certainly managed to get our quieter guests talking. For anyone else planning a party I would certainly recommend your touch of magic"

Paul Nelson - June 2004
