"We had a lovely awards and celebration evening. Matt hit the spot and made our evening event into an upbeat and humorous celebration which students and their families enjoyed. it was, according to those who have been attending such events for many years, "the best one yet"."

"Matthew was fab! The students (and staff!) really enjoyed his session, and it started off their college application sessions in a very positive way :)"

"Matthew has now been delivering a revision based session to our Year 12 students for the last 4 years during their Personal Development Days. He has managed to combine the theories and understanding of recollecting information through his expertise in the art of magic. All members of staff and students have come out of his sessions enthused and excited as to how they can move forward with their learning. His sessions are entertaining and informative and his rapport with the students is excellent. I would have no reservations in recommending him to deliver a session to your students in a relaxed and enjoyable environment."

"Thanks for coming in to share your story with my Entertainment Management students, it was the most engaged I have ever seen them in a guest lecture and you really opened their minds to what it’s like to work in your sector of the entertainment industry, particularly building a reputable business and brand. I could tell the students had a lot to take away from the lecture and the opportunities for them to interact with tricks, etc. were great. We’ll definitely be having you back for future talks and to share more of your expertise."

"'Mind-boggling, amazing and magical’ were some of the comments left by year 11 students after Matthew J Magic’s performance. The students loved hearing about Matthew’s interesting life story starting with his early years as a street entertainer and designing his own magic props. His colourful presentation included stories about his time at college and university, his experiences as a teacher and travelling the world, until finally becoming self-employed as a magician. Matthew followed his life story with an array of unbelievable magic tricks and circus acts, which stunned and amazed the students. Matthew gave the students a fascinating glimpse into the secret world of magic and illusion which challenged their perceptions. He then led the students in a ‘hands on’ circus skills act of plate spinning that left them all with a sense of personal achievement. James aged 15 summed up Matthew’s visit … ‘It was mind-blowing magic, thank you'"

"From start to finish Matthew was professional and thoroughly entertaining. We would recommend him to anyone. He arrived early to make sure he was well prepared for the event and communicated brilliantly with the Governors and children. Ideal for our school. As one parent said ‘The guest speaker was excellent and perfectly suited to the audience, with a clear message about following your dream and being able to ‘pivot’.’ Says it all really!"

"We absolutely loved having Matt join us today. He was really engaging and the students were talking about his speech long after he had left us. Our parents spoke very highly of him too and everyone enjoyed the magic! The focus on resilience as well was spot on. Thanks for supporting us again with our KS3 Graduation - it means a lot to our school."

"Matthew was absolutely fantastic, really made the event fizz, we will certainly rebook him for next year!"
