Darren moves between your guests wherever they are: at tables, at the bar, out on the terrace. He performs magic that happens in their own hands, with some routines tailored to your day.
It's the easiest ice-breaker there is. Guests who have never met end up laughing together, and the quiet gaps in the day, like the drinks reception while photos are taken, become a highlight.
He has performed for more than 70 celebrities, including at Carl Fogarty's 50th birthday party, and has appeared on TV several times. He has never missed a booking.
"Not only did he entertain all my guests, he blew them away and everyone absolutely loved him." Amy Barton, wedding in July 2021

Fantastic evening being entertained by Darren. I absolutely love seeing magic tricks and Darren did not disappoint.
Makes sure he includes everyone and doesn't let anyone feel left out. Highly recommended.
Everyone, including me, was gobsmacked at what he does. The best wedding magician.
Brilliant performer. Charismatic, friendly and excellent at what he does. Absolutely superb at my dad's 60th.
Brilliant! Kids and adults all loved it.
