Alex Sladman - Close Up Magician

Wow… what can I say? Alex was an absolute dream and really did tick every box!I was looking for a magician who could do close-up card magic for my dads birthday. I wanted a magician who could approach the different groups of guests rather than an all-eyes-on-me performance. I thought it would be a simple task to find someone, but it proved to be really difficult to find anyone within budget who could not only do close-up magic, but who was skilled, professional and approachable.A lot of those I found came across in their promo videos as either extremely cheesy/cringe or the total opposite - straight faced and completely unapproachable. I was about to give up hope but decided to have one last Google and that’s when I came across Alex.First of all, he was very responsive and asked all the right questions to make sure he could provide exactly what we wanted. He even asked if he could bring along his photographer who would provide us photos on email for free (I don’t think this was a standard procedure, we just got lucky!).You never know what to expect when you’ve never seen them live before and as “chief party planner” I was slightly anxious, but Alex was simply fantastic. He exceeded my expectations and managed to gel the different groups of guests together who wouldn’t otherwise have engaged with one another. Alex really played a vital role in making the party a success and blew the minds of everyone, from children to 80+ year olds! A real crowd pleaser, highly likeable, and a very skilled, reliable magician who goes above & beyond.If you’re still wondering whether to book him or not, multiple people contacted us for his details after the party to book him for theirs. For me, that was the most telling way to know I made the right choice in booking Alex!

Alex was great at our wedding; we managed to book him last minute after Covid scuppered some of our other plans. He was great at getting everything organised at the last minute with us. All of the guests loved him. He even went the extra mile and stuck around for a little longer for us so we got to see some of his magic when we got back from having our photos taken.

I would 100% recommend Alex for any event. We booked him for our company client Xmas party and he was fantastic. He worked the room really well, did some amazing magic and everyone was wowed by him! Really easy to deal with in terms of booking and payment too! Cannot recommend enough! Thanks Alex

We hired Alex for an Office Launch Party in Leeds last Friday and he was absolutely brilliant! He had all of the guests fully engaged and amazed with his magic tricks. His professionalism was outstanding and he was an absolute pleasure to work with. We cannot recommend Alex enough and will definitely be booking him again for future events!

We had Alex at a birthday party. He was excellent. The tricks he performed were amazing and not just the usual card sleight of hand tricks. His magic is of a really high standard. We would definitely use Alex again for future events and I would 100% recommend him. He is really good value and the best magician I’ve seen live.

We first met Alex at a wedding fayre and were amazed by his magic!We then booked Alex for our wedding on 16 July 2022 to entertain our guests during the drinks reception - he was great throughout the booking process, so responsive and we found him to be really easy to chat with.On the day Alex was fantastic! Everyone loved him - kids and adults alike! He moved seamlessly through the groups of people, impressing them with his magic skills! We would book Alex again in a heartbeat.Thank you for everything!Mr & Mrs Spencer xxx

We booked Alex for our Christmas Party and what a night, he was brilliant, he kept everyone entertained and we were amazed by his magic, people could not believe what they were seeing. In fact he was that good we have already booked him for this year!!!

Alex provided amazing entertainment for my husband’s 50th birthday celebrations! He has an incredible ability to do impossible things right in front of your eyes and made it a really memorable night for everyone that was there. We can highly recommend him!Thank you Alex!

I booked Alex for a surprise 40th garden party for my other half. The party was a mix of children and adults, and his magic was mind blowing to all of us! He had a great way with all the guests and definitely left us wanting more!

Alex provided amazing walk round magic at our company Christmas Party and literally ticked every box! From initial booking stages all the way to the moment he left the venue Alex was very friendly and professional, engaged with staff throughout the entire event and even managed to stay that little bit longer than initially agreed to make sure everyone experienced the mesmerising magic he really does perform. Will definitely book again - thank you again Alex :-)
