Mike Davis - close up magician
"We had Mike booked for our Christmas work party and he was absolutely outstanding.
The magic tricks were phenomenal and everyone was so impressed. Not only lovely entertainment, but also a lovely man with a charming personality.
We are back to work this morning after the party and he is the topic of all of our conversations. So glad we booked Mike, and would highly recommend to anyone wanting a magician for an event.
Thank you so much Mike!"

Hello Mike
"Good afternoon Mike, We have just about finished our clearing up now after our younger guests continued our celebration til 11pm.!
As you can imagine It was a long day for us octagenarians! Anyway I'm delighted to say that all bar none left saying what an amazing time they had and how much they enjoyed your magic.
Our great grandchildren said you were 'Amazing'!.
Reg and I thank you so much for the brilliant entertainment and I'm sorry I didn't see you leave but must have being doing the rounds!
We would certainly recommend you to other friends and family (won't be necessary to those that saw you in action last evening though!) and hope to see you again. With our best wishes and thanks again"
Jenny and Reg Crascall - (Diamond Wedding Celebration, January 2023
"Hi Mike,
Thank you for the most perfect afternoon. It was everything we could imagine and more!
You wowed our guests who were super impressed by your tricks and couldn’t take their eyes off you!
Thank you for stepping in last minute and for-filling our requirements, it was much appreciated.
Good luck for the future and will be recommending you to anyone that mentions magician and wedding in the same sentence”.
Kelly & Simon - (Wedding Reception February 2022)
Hello Mike
“I booked Mike for a garden party of 30+ people. After establishing how he wanted to work on his arrival, he got stuck straight in.
Right from the off his approach to my guests was spot on.
His humour quickly engaged people and once he got his magic going people crowded round and were enthralled.
I can honestly say if you want an hour of close up magic that will bond your guests together in ways you wouldn’t imagine, this is the answer.
He brought people together that had never met and they had something to talk about until the early hours, long after Mike had disappeared (see what I did there!?) along with that Schweppes bottle!
5* highly recommended, we all had a brilliant time.
You will too. Thank you”.
Clive - (Birthday Party September 2021)
"Hello Mike,
I just wanted to say a big thank you for your amazing performance (I think that’s what we should call it!!) at my party on Saturday.
Everyone and I mean EVERYONE loved your tricks and banter.
From my 9 yr old daughter right up to those in their 70’s. I’m still puzzling about the lemon and lime under the cup!!! My daughter even took her card (the one you gave her) to school today for show and tell.
Now that is very high praise. And my son is still trying to figure out how you got that 50p in the bottle!!!
Thank you so much. It really added to the party and we all enjoyed having you there”.
Julie Baker (a new edition to the Magic Mike fan club, together with my friend John!!!) 50th Birthday Party
"Dear Mike,
It was fantastic, you made such a difference. The afternoon was enhanced by your being with us.
Absolutely first class. We all were delighted by your magic. Charlie and Margaret pass on their grateful thanks. Thanks so much. I will recommend you at every opportunity."
See you again. David - (Wedding Reception June 2021)
"Popped into Houdini's for the first time to celebrate my birthday and had no idea what to expect.
The barman was very friendly and knowledgable and soon had our cocktails on the table.
The place was quite empty with only two other couples there but when the magician,
Mike Davis, introduced himself to us, he held our attention one hundred per cent.
We were totally in awe of his tricks and he made us feel very comfortable and willing participants.
If you enjoy Close Up magic, you will not be disappointed with Mike Davis's excellent magic tricks. I would strongly recommend him.”

"Dear Mike,
I wanted to say a heartfelt thank you for the wonderful close up magic that you provided at the Ball. It was a tremendous night and the feedback I have received has been so positive.
The magic you performed was absolutely brilliant, and so many people have commented on how mind boggling it was.
I wanted you to know that the final numbers are in and we managed to raise £26,436.79 as a result of the Ball for Combat Stress and Farms For City Children.
Thank you again for the part that you played in that brilliant achievement"

"I have been to the Houdini bar a few times now and love it. I went last night with my family and the Magician was Mike Davis he was brilliant made us all sit with open mouth. Great place to go, Bartenders are also great fun"
Tina (Houdini's Magic Bar TripAdvisor)
"Saw the Houdini Bar in Canterbury and thought we would give it a try on a Monday night. Atmosphere was great, about 10 other people, barman very welcoming. The magician this Monday was Mike Davis who was unbelievably good.
He went round every group, did some amazing magic, no idea how he did it, even as a sceptic!
Don't miss out go and be amazed, a fun filled experience”.
Neil Fulham (Houdini's Magic Bar, TripAdvisor)
"Hi Mike,
I just wanted to say thank you so much for yesterday!
Everyone was amazed by you and you even impressed those that are not fans of magic, which is no easy task. Everyone was talking about you for hours and loved the little souvenirs.
We will 100% be recommending you to all our friends, family and complete strangers.
Do you have a Facebook page or any other social media that we can do a review please?
Thank you once again for an amazing time"
Helen and Nick Sayers (Wedding Reception)
"Amazing Magic!
My daughter and I went to Houdini's Canterbury, as we were passing by, back to our hotel, and I am so glad we did! I think we were fortunate that it was quite early, and fairly quiet. We were so lucky to see Mike Davis up close and he performed quite a few magical tricks for us. He was utterly amazing, and I still can't believe how lucky I was to see REAL magic !!"
Sarah

“How on earth did he do that!”
Such happy memories that we can all treasure.
With Very Best Wishes Roy and Linda Bicknell
"Dear Mike
Thank you so much for a fantastic afternoon on the 17th.
Mum clearly enjoyed her 80th birthday treat - you made her feel so special as though the magic was just for her and yet you also involved everyone in the performance.
She has talked again and again about her lovely afternoon and gets out the envelope with her playing card in and ponders again on 'how did he do that'! Not only Mum enjoyed the afternoon, but everyone present had huge smiles on their faces and looks of wonderment.
You have a great gift, polished to perfection, and you deliver with such friendly relaxed charm that you made the afternoon a delight for everyone.
Many, many thanks."
