Absolutely Fantastic !!!! Richard is a seriously talented magician who had our family and friends entertained all evening. I would have no hesitation in recommending.
I booked Richard for my retirement party!! He was an absolute star. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves because of Richard’s talent.Can’t recommend him enough!! Thank you Rich.
We booked Richard for a small family birthday event and we were totally blown away with how amazing his magic was! We had high expectations from his website and were certainly not disappointed. It was such a hit with everyone and we have not stopped talking about the tricks, pretty much convinced he has actual magic powers! Do not hesitate in booking Richard for an event as you will not fail to be impressed, his magic is incredible and on top of that he is a genuinely lovely guy as well. Thank you!
Richard was very professional throughout the day and interacted well with the small groups.All my guests were impressed with the close-up performance they received and responded very well to Richards recommendation to finish with a 20 minute finale.This set had some very impressive tricks and interaction with the audience.There were several late commers and Richard did willingly stay late to ensure that all the guest experienced several unbelievable tricks.Well done Richard - good luck for the future.3/92022
Fantastic podcast! Thank you, it was recommended to me by another magician and I am thoroughly enjoying listening to your interviews. I have to admit I skipped to the 100th episode for David Copperfield, but am now travelling through the episodes in a linear fashion. :)
Richard was great fun at our summer party and I heard only good things about him all night. He honoured a booking made during COVID which we were very grateful for, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to add that extra bit of magic to their event!
We had Richard Young do his magic at a recent corporate event - unbelievable and kept 85 people thoroughly entertained for a few hours. People were talking about his magic for days after the event - I'd highly recommend Richard, top bloke too.
We have had the pleasure of Richard entertaining both staff and corporate guests with their total amazement of his close up magic and slight of hand which really got the party going.Richard is a joy - grab him quick before the big time takes him away from us mortals.
Richard entertained our guests during drinks and dinner at our Ruby Wedding party in April 2022. He was stunning! We had lovely food too, but the first thing all our friends said when they thanked us was: "Your magician was amazing!" Richard was friendly and engaging and all his work was close-up but no-one could fathom how he did it. I won't spoil it by describing his tricks! I strongly recommend him for all ages and occasions.
Richard was truly fantastic at our wedding, and was certainly one of the highlights of the day - it was particularly nice to have guests commenting back to us how everything went so smoothly and how the entertainment was truly special (of which Richard was a central part).The illusions were simply magical, and I hope that we can have Richard at future events to enjoy his talents again. He was a pleasure to have around, and I couldn't recommend him highly enough.
Richard performed close up magic at my wedding and its safe to say it was the talk of the entire day. He arrived as advised and was totally professional all the way. He walks around to each table performing tricks which everyone was wowed by. I expected it to be good, but it far surpassed any expectation I had. Highly recommend his services, it will be memorable.
I have hired Richard multiple times over a 10 year period! Everything he does is just top quality and the act’s & performances have always left our guests feeling like they have been apart of something truly magic.A great personality, professional and always inventing or bringing something fresh to any occasion.Cannot recommend this gentleman more! 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We hired Richard to attend my daughters wedding day celebrations for two hours in the afternoon.From the first contact to the follow up email after the event, he was nothing but friendly, polite, professional and helpful.During the two hours, he moved around all of the tables, making sure all of the guests received equal time and opportunity to watch him doing various, amazing magic tricks for all the guests. Everyone loved it and it made an added extra wow factor and special memory of the day.I would fully recommend Richard for any event.
Writing this from the perspective of someone else in the same industry who has hired Richard Young for everything from corporate events to birthday parties and even a theatre show.Richard has an amazing knack of making everyone warm to him, whether it is your grandma at your wedding or a CEO at a lavish awards dinner. Within minutes everyone is wowed by both his incredible magic and his likeable, engaging personality.Richard really cares about magic. It's not just a job for him. That passion shines through and you can see the attention to detail in what he does, as well as in the way he selects material. He goes to great effort to make his work the best it possibly can be as well as keeping it up to date and relevant for a modern audience.I have absolutely no hesitation recommending Richard Young as a magician for any event you may be considering.
The close-up magic performed by Richard at our wedding will live long in the memory. Our guests still rave about him to this day. From the initial booking, right through to the big day itself, Richard was a consummate Professional and the level of skill he displayed during his performances was absolutely mind-bending. On top of this, he was very funny and charming too. If you’re looking for that something to make your event extra special, look no further.
We are invariably bowled-over, astonished, mystified and delighted by Richard. He is such a warm and generous, engaging close-up performer that we have asked him to come along to several events and each time our guests keep talking about him FOREVER!If you want your dinner party dishes to take centre-stage, forget it! Richard will outshine even a Masterchef finalist when it comes to an event being memorable.I’m busy thinking up my next excuse to have Richard Young come along to entertain us.Reasonably-priced, professional and yet so friendly and fun, Richard really is the very best choice.
We were fortunate enough to secure Richard to perform at our wedding a few years ago. As a life long fan of magic and magicians I thought it would be a great way to entertain our guests while we were off having photos done. Richard was not only an incredibly amazing performer but was also a real professional and genuinely lovely chap. His sleight of hand and magical prowess are amazing - a really fabulously impressive prestidigitator!! People still mention his appearance at our wedding even now after several years. I couldn't recommend him highly enough! Thank you Richard!!
Richard is such a brilliant magician! He takes so much care with the magic and creates great experiences. Would highly recommend him for any event! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I have booked Richard on multiple occasions - he is outstanding, if a little shorter than most magicians. I first booked him fifteen years ago for an event at The Lido in Chipping Norton where he performed mind-blowing close up magic for an invited audience. Over the years since I have booked him as a speaker at a business networking event when he gave a talk about marketing himself as a magician and he enthralled the audience peppering his talk with a display of brilliant illusions. I booked him for an evening of magic at The Theatre in Chipping Norton where he performed some of his larger stage illusions as part of Young & Strange and received a thunderous standing ovation. I booked him for a corporate event at a legal conference and have booked him as an act at a comedy club. In short (no offence Richard) he is a versatile performer capable of wowing an audience of fifty at a social gathering, a conference of 150 business folk or a theatre full of hundreds, even thousands of people. Brilliant, world-class and extremely funny - often deliberately.
Richard is nothing short of magic - like real magic! Right from initial enquiry Richard was friendly, articulate and I immediately warmed to him. His knowledge and love of his craft is contagious, we both share an admiration of Derren Brown so we immediately bonded, I was staggered to find out he had worked / interviewed him - star struck! Richard performed at my husband’s 40th birthday party at our house. He arrived promptly and well dressed. There were lots of different areas for him to cover, the marquee in the garden, kitchen etc but he made sure that he visited all the guests in the different spaces. Richard had a fantastic unobtrusive style, he was able to mingle with guests like a friend would and then the WOW’s started! Seriously this man is skilled… and lovely too! I wouldn’t hesitate in recommended Richard, we even tried to book him for my birthday party in February 2022 but sadly for us he was in America on tour. Richard is the loveliest and talented magician you could wish to meet and I hope to see him perform again
Richard is incredible! We just booked him for our wedding, and all of our guests are still talking about him. I've never seen up-close magic like it - you honestly will be left speechless. On top of that he's a lovely man, friendly, professional, and very easy to liaise with before an event. No hesitation in recommending him to anyone. Trust me, you won't regret it!
Richard is amazing. He entertained at our wedding 4 months ago and my guests are still talking about how mind blowing his tricks were and how much they enjoyed watching him. I highly recommend him.
