"I hired magicIAN for my son's first birthday party to entertain the kids and he did that perfectly. What I didn't expect was that all the adults were thoroughly enjoying the show too, wondering how he did some of his magic tricks. He included the kids and adults to come and help him out during his show, he was funny and made everyone laugh and his one-on-one magic was quite a hit at the party. I highly recommend him. -Yelp Review 11/27/2016"

"Hired for mum and dads 50th Golden Wedding Anniversary. Superb entertainment! Gave a personal touch that you’d be hard pressed to find elsewhere. Really made the star guests the centre and made time for everyone else. Kept everyone’s attention from young children up to the over 70’s, loved by all. Literally left people amazed. A large number of non-believers are now converted ? You made it a very memorable evening, thank you! A genuinely lovely guy that I would definitely hire again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

"Jay was fantastic to work with. His conduct throughout was incredibly professional and he was very responsive to tailoring his performance for the needs of our event. Because of this, our crowd absolutely loved his routines and the feedback was that he was a highlight of the day. We highly recommend Jayden for anyone who needs an entertainment act and look forward to working with him in the future. Thanks again Jay."

"The first time I saw Mimirichi, last year at the Edinburgh Fringe, I knew I would have to put them at the core of my fiendish and cunning plan for world domination. Mimirichi would leave everyone weak with laughter and begging me for more of the fun, and, of course, I would be a benign autocrat, sending Mimirichi out on a world-wide mission to sponsor their own brand of warm fuzziness and community spirit. In this cold, competitive world Mimirichi liberates hearts and minds and promotes participation and collaboration. The awful thing is that they are only at the Riverside Studios for TWO nights (until 1st July)! Please, please, rush down to Hammersmith and secure tickets for yourself, all your family (especially menopausal aunts and grumpy old men), your evil-minded neighbours, your traffic wardens and rouge traders, your bank manager and your boss. The four-man creative team at the heart of the mad, mad world of Mimirichi are superb physical performers who start off with some simple slapstick and build to a breathtaking break-dancing finale. But their secret lies in their generosity and the way they engage us with their world. This is a place where the imagination can transform paper into anything we want it to be and half of the fun is the delight in collaborating with them to make these transformations happen. It is a clown theatre for young and old alike, because it's full of the familiar and everyday. Mimirichi's Paper World is peopled with recognizable characters. There's the little guy with the broom overwhelmed by litter bugs on the rampage. And perhaps it's the same voracious paper-munching clown evolving into a despot who gets himself crowned with pomp and circumstance, and, to push the point home, also devours handbags and jackets from among the audience. I guarantee that by the end of the 85-minute show you will be shouting, screaming, pelting each other with paper, passing great swathes of the stuff back and forth and even eager to step onto the stage and be transformed into a goal-keeper for a paper football penalty or a beauty queen. At the core of this age-old humour there is an odd but recognizable logic at work, an absurd logic, or even illogical logic, perhaps, but once we accept the rules it all makes perfect sense (something like when Charlie Chaplin's starving tramp cooks his boots and eats them with perfect table manners and social etiquette). Mimirichi's gags are reminiscent of these extended comic scenarios from the Commedia lazzi and the silent movies. For example, a man desperate to find a public urinal is given increasingly complicated directions by a street cleaner in which each round of mimed instructions seems to take the longed for relief further away on a journey that includes swimming and punting across a river. Mimirichi put us in touch with a part of ourselves we don't pay much attention to these days. They belong to a long tradition of European clowning that includes the great zannis of Commedia dell'Arte, Chaplin and Keaton, Max Wall, Mayall and Edmondson and so on. This is an eternal and universal form of clowning, the carnivalesque, the Lords of Misrule, rather than the sanitized comic turns fed to children in 20th century circuses. In days gone by, this type of carnival event was considered dangerous by princes and municipalities, so that the travelling performers where often borderline outlaws. Happily, Mimirichi are completely legit, but they still can show us a few things that authoritarian rulers feared: that what usually passes for logic is suspect, and that a creative and imaginative response can present alternative solutions to traditions we take for granted. Perhaps, we should send them to the G8 Summit. If you cannot make it down to the Riverside Studios tonight go instead to a tattooist and have MIMIRICHI inscribed on your forehead, so that you will recognize their name should they come to a venue close to you at a future date."

"Paul was fantastic! We had him work at our Christmas party this year. He did walk around magic before dinner. Then during dessert we had him perform his stage show. Both the walk around and stage show were wonderful. He had everyone talking. A couple of his more dangerous tricks had people gasping. Especially the one where he slams his hand down on paper bags and one of the bags has a spike inside. Terrifying. Highly recommend. "

"I had the opportunity to see Gaëtan during one of his shows at a birthday party . He is an exceptional magician, performing numerous tricks that will leave you speechless. He is both very professional while remaining sociable and close to the audience. Thank you again for this extraordinary moment. I highly recommend him!!!"

"Our Beetlejuice impersonator Daniel was awesome! He was easy to work with and came prepared. He joked around with our guests and played the perfect undead jokester. He was the highlight of my party. I would absolutely hire him again."

"Thank you so much Dante for making my sons 5th Birthday a memorable one. Things to expect - Dante is a great communicator and worked selflessly around our schedule. He had a awesome, engaging and funny routine. We had twenty kids at the pre-school and the ages ranged from 2-5 and every child was joyful at comedy/magic trick routine. From one father to another, thank you Dante for making my kid laugh out loud!!"
