Magician References
[Updated March 2011]
Some satisfied customers! These comments are taken from some of the emails, letters and thank you cards that Rob has received.
Rob James is literally unbelievable. We are a set of barristers'
chambers which held its christmas party last night. Rob amazed everyone, including the High Court judges, who are professional sceptics.
Not only that, but he has a wonderful manner and fitted in perfectly. As far as we are concerned he is the only magician to have at your party. In fact he's already got another job lined up through one of last night's attendees as a result. Thanks again, Rob

Apart from being a very nice guy, Rob James has the ability to beguile an audience with his extensive and varied mystical performance. In a room full of sales and systems professionals, Rob managed to amaze even the most sceptical, who said they “could never be fooled”
The next day back at the office everyone was talking about “The Magician” and even people who did not attend the event were asking about his brilliant show.
Rob certainly made the event a memorable one and most importantly ensured the night was a success and I am sure we will be inviting him back for future events.
Quentin Grosvenor, Yorkshire Building Society, Bristol - July 2007.
My partner and I were both celebrating our 50th birthdays this year and held a party at the Queen’s Stand, Epsom to mark the occasion. Rob came along to entertain our guests and he was, quite simply, outstanding. Despite the fact that he was under scrutiny from at least six guests at any one time, no-one spotted a thing and we were all completely mystified as to how rings, glasses and money could disappear and end up in the most unlikely of places.
Rob was a huge success and everyone was talking about his magic long after he had left on the evening. Not only was Rob an accomplished magician but he was pleasant with it and mixed easily with our guests. He comes highly recommended!!
Sandy Rhodes, Surrey 2007.
Thank you very much indeed for your labours on Saturday night. It was hugely successful and we were still talking about your amazing sleights of hand on the golf course yesterday. My son was describing the coin under the watch routine. Amazing!
I hope that we get to meet you again at some point - in the meantime, you have left your mark!
Sue Lawley, former Desert Island Discs presenter - Rob was hired for her 60th birthday party in Barnes, London
Thank you very much for entertaining at our staff conference last week. Your performance kept energy levels up and left people totally astonished. Thanks so much!
Jenni Tucker, Gwerin Housing, Newport - Rob has worked at two of their conferences - 2005 & 2006
Thank you so much for your contribution to the evening. We thoroughly enjoyed having you there and I know that a few people took your card so I hope that further business develops for you. All the best and many thanks once again.
Jane Healey, House of Commons, London
I have had a LOT of positive feedback regarding your work, everybody thought you were fantastic. If we have a magician at one of our Christmas/Summer parties again, you will be the one we want!
Mark Wheatly, Sift Web Design, Bristol
Thank you so much for all you did at Lizzie & Warren’s wedding on Saturday. You were a great success and I admired how you dealt with awkward (somewhat inebriated) disbelievers. As you know I followed you around a bit (because I could) so I sometimes knew what was coming next and I still couldn’t see how you did it! You are very skilled at your art!
The day was deemed a great success by all guests and I thank you for your part in that.
Many, many thanks

Everyone thought you were excellent - 'gobsmacked' and 'I watched him all the time so how did he do that?!' are just two of comments.
Maria Rodman, Goldsmith Williams Solicitors, Liverpool - Rob has worked at three of their post-Christmas parties - 2005, 2006 and 2007
Just to thank you for taking part in our documentary filming for Channel 4. The magic performance was great and looks wonderful in the programme!

I would just like to thank you for performing at our client Christmas party. I have to say even the most cynical of clients thought your tricks were fantastic and everyone who I spoke to mentioned how impressed they were with you. We were all impressed that there was not a single 'cheesy' trick in your portfolio! Once I know the date of our next Christmas party, I'll let you know!

Intelligent Print Solutions London
As a corporate event planner, I can't afford to take risks when it comes to hiring entertainment for my clients. Apart from being an excellent magician, I have found Rob James to be a great person to deal with. I have engaged him on several occasions and would have absolutely no hesitation in doing so again.
Jane Reay, Proprieter,

Thank you very much for the entertainment at our sales conference. It certainly made a great finish to the day's events and everyone was suitably impressed with your magic!
John Glyn Davies, National Sales Manager,

Thank you so very much for your fantastic contribution to our wedding... We have heard so much from the guests about your breathtaking magic tricks.
