"Ade did our works summer party. I never expected to see my colleagues perform how they did. They were made to do many funny things but nothing that was embarrassing. Loved it!"

"I had the opportunity to be "wowed" on a couple occasions by Todd Day's magic. I saw him perform at a private party and then he "magically" and unexpectedly appeared before my eyes at the Magic Castle one night in the improv close up rooms. For me it's not just about unique tricks but performance, personality and engagement with the audience. I was mesmerized and enamored with each performance. You can clearly witness his passion exude through what he does! I highly recommend booking this magician for your next event or party to fully entertain your guests!"

"I’ve know Alex for many years and he has worked his magic and card tricks right in my living room and even though I try my best I can’t figure out how he does what he does! His entire act is captivating and suitable for all audiences. His recent performance in Manchester Connecticut was exceptionally fun and mesmerizing! He is fantastic working his act in front of a crowd or one on one. Check him out - you will not be disappointed!"

"We hired Tom for after dinner entertainment during a Sailing Regatta on Lake Keowee and his show was perfect! Everyone was amazed and thrilled and we would definitely recommend him. His show had a lot of variety and the perfect mix of themes for our mostly adult audience."

"Maisie is one of the best Magicians I have seen. Her skill is incredible but also her presence is one of a kind. At just 13 years old she is already wowing her audiences and holding so much potential to do amazing things in years to come! You amaze me!"

"I did a joint venture with A.Ade. I supplied the food and he supplied the entertainment. What I did not expect was to end up being the star of the show. After watching it back I now love it and show my performance to all my friends."

"There are millions of artists, but Kemin is definitely the special one with variety talent, forever young curiosity, energy of uniting people, quality of humor and deep perspective of life. He makes friends with everyone and also plays the power of loneliness. If life is about experiences, Kemin will always create you a unforgettable one, especially a fun one. I would always think of him and plan a trip to see his performance again to celebrate the opportunity life and enjoy the relaxation of his style. Flying or being grounded, he’s with you. "

"We used Blaze entertainment for our Masquerade Party for Seniors Week. Blaze used a good variety of tricks and was very entertaining. It was a great pleasure to us to see our clients enjoying the show and having a good laugh along the way. Blaze was prompt and reliable and I highly recommend Blaze Magic."

"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."
