We had Simon for our wedding in September and he was one of the highlights of our day. When we arrived after having our... photos taken, everybody was already talking about his performance at the reception and there were lots of smiles and shocked faces! During the meal, Simon went table to table entertaining our guests, and people kept asking for him to come back to their table to see more. Simon really added to our day, and would highly recommend him for anyone thinking about booking him!read more

Simon performed a virtual magic show for our senior community center. It was fantastic! He is engaging, entertaining,... and (most importantly) surprising! We were all flabbergasted by the end. He is very good at pulling people in and making them feel comfortable participating in his performance, even the shy ones. I see a lot of speakers and entertainers and that is a rarer skill than it might seem. It is even more difficult to do remotely! He was also very professional and responsive when we were arranging details prior to the event, despite the very different time zones. I would highly recommend him to anyone who might be considering booking him virtually.read more

Simon recently performed at my 70th birthday party. He was 'awesome', to quote one guest. Everyone enjoyed his show,... including my one-year old grand-daughter whom he captivated, through the 25-35 age group, and the rest of us with grey hair. Working his way around groups of 4/6 people over a 60-minute period, he was the perfect 'ice-breaker' for the party. His show was superb; his easy engagement and manner with a diverse group of people was wonderful to watch. A true professional, a skilled magician and entertainer. Simon has my recommendation.

Simon's show was great. He made everyone in the audience laugh and included us in the show. I was blown away by his... magic, and he is a true master of his craft.

We could not be more delighted that we booked Simon to entertain our guests for our drinks reception, it was the... perfect icebreaker to get everyone mingling, chatting & laughing. He literally blew everyone’s minds. Our guests are still talking about Simon and his tricks weeks later and still trying to figure out how he done them. It was absolutely amazing. Simon was such a nice lad to deal with, he even made sure to do a trick just for us before we headed into our meal. We honestly couldn’t recommend him enough and we really feel he made our day that extra bit special and memorable.read more

Simon Ryan is a great Magician and entertainer. On top of that he's a wonderful supporter of the families of the Jack... & Jill Children's Foundation. He recently did a virtual show for our kids and families and managed to keep everyone laughing throughout a 40 minute Zoom call while also delivered some serious magic. This was a kids show but I suspect his show for the so-called grown-ups would be even better. I can't rate him high enough. Thanks Simon and I hope we see you again.read more

My children (5 and 9) attended one of Simon's Online events through zoom. He was so inclusive and silly, he had them... giggling non-stop. The 9 yr old is definitely already at the "tween" stage and sometimes likes to think he's too cool for school but even he was engaged and enthralled by such an entertaining and interactive show. I have no shame in saying that there were also 2 teenagers (13 and 15) and a Dad, hanging around off-screen and they were also glued (but they'll never admit it!). Well done Simon, these are tough times for all entertainers at the moment but I've no doubt your resilience will keep shining through!read more

From the initial point of contact with Simon, to our thank you and farewell he was truly wonderful. His professionalism... and passion for his work is evident. His show was AMAZING! Simon found a way to interact, engage and bring a virtual magic show to life in the homes of the families that attended. Simon's show is a welcome distraction that reels you in to his world of Magic and keeps you guessing throughout. I have already recommended to a number of teachers and peers.read more

He held their attention for 45 minutes with mind bending fun and a great sense of humour!!! They were dumb struck on more than one occasion!We were so impressed that we booked for a group of adults. Again everyone had a blast. Simon has a very unique and quirky performance style, and it translates really well over zoom.I can recommend him and will likely be booking him again.read more

This weekend I celebrated my 60th birthday, when I was planning the party I was looking for something different to... entertain my family and friends thruout the evening. My brother in law informed me about a magician they had at a corporate event who stole the show.So I contacted Simon about booking him for my party,from our first telephone conversation this guy is very professional I booked for my party and the rest is history. He arrived to the hotel on time,straight away he started to entertain the early guests and for next two hours he entertained over 80 guests. He is so good that one of my son's friends is going to book him for his wedding, and the manager of the hotel is going to use Simon for corporate and children event's in the hotel. To conclude Simon is a very talented magician, but that only tells half the story,his personality and professionalism brings an unique input to any event. I think I might have a 61st birthday party so I can use him again.read more
