"As one of the event organisers, I found Richard Stone to be a real pleasure to work with. He was professional, easy going and flexible to our requirements - he listened to the event brief and tailored his act around the evening and the guests. In a party environment, where there is lots going on and many people having a good time, it's often hard to infiltrate groups and get everyone's attention without being too intrusive, but Richard managed this perfectly and was a real hit. Throughout the evening he performed to small groups of guests and demonstrated his talent with subtle and amusing magic which baffled and amazed - there were frequent roars of laughter and loud applause after each trick. Not only is he very talented, he's also a showman and certainly adds a buzz to a party! I would have absolutely no doubt in using Richard Stone again at future Unilever events and in recommending him to others."
Josie Todd - Event Manager - Unilever PLC

 

"Thank you for performing your amazing illusions at the ChandlerKBS Christmas event. You really were outstanding, I still hear the staff say “but how did he do it”, they were really taken away by your magic. The evening was a great success and this was by no small measure because of your professionalism in performing your magic. The way you mingled amongst the staff during the drinks reception and performed your magic creating great interest and relaxing people into the evening was a wonderful start to the night. Again your ability to entertain with even more new illusions whilst people were dinning gave a great sense of fun and enjoyment to the evening. I have really enjoyed working with you in organising this event, you made my job so much easier and I would have no hesitation in recommending you for any future events. I am sure I will be working with you again in the future."
Jacqui Parry - ChandlerKBS

 

"Truly magical!! Richard and his team are truly magical! The magic that the team provided kept over 360 people at their tables mesmerised. What could have ended up as just a very pleasant gala dinner turned into an extraordinary event. Richard and his team certainly worked their magic on our guests, and I am quite sure no one remembers what they had for dinner that evening! And that is no mean feat in a 5* Deluxe environment!

I have no hesitation in engaging Richard and the team again. They certainly provided a most memorable evening for our guests."
Wendy Gill - Unimer

 

"'A touch of Class' For the 15 minute spell i watched Richard perform various card tricks, i was totally amazed and highly entertained with some of the magic he was performing. If someone had told me i had been hypnotised during his performance, I probably would have believed them. For every small crowd of people he approached, his personality and ability engaged everyone's attention, and left a startled look on their faces. I would highly recommend Richard for any occasion! "

"Thank you for confounding and delighting our guests at the doctor and practice administration team awards last night. Your tricks were truly slick and made the evening especially memorable"
Dr Bridget Osbourne - Chair - Royal College of General Practitioners

 

"We have now had the pleasure of working with Richard at two separate and totally different function and cannot recommend him highly enough as a charismatic, enthralling and totally gifted entertainer. Our first event was a black tie dinner dance and the second an informal drinks party and both during and after each evening the feedback from our guests was nothing but positive, glowing praise and the constantly repeated phrase of "How does he DO that"! The Murphy Group is the largest London based construction company with numerous offices and sites throughout the country and when we entertain, our guests are an eclectic mix of office staff, site labour, lawyers, clients, etc but Richard easily engages with all our guests regardless of age or background and can be relied upon to provide memorable entertainment. We will certainly use Richard again."
R I Brown - Senior Contracts Manager - J MURPHYS and Sons

 

"Just to say thanks for providing such amazing magic at our awards ceremony; it certainly contributed hugely to what is considered to be the best Awards evening so far. The feedback from staff has been fantastic and our chief executive has been extremely praiseworthy - what more can I say! I hope we will we able to book you for next year's event."
Mark Lee, Internal Communications Officer - Merton Borough Council

 

"Thank you for performing table magic at our sales meeting. You had each table enchanted and amazed by your unbelievable close up magic under our very noses at dinner. The majority of the men observed you to try to find out how you performed those slight of hand tricks. Professional deception at its very best – a real must have at any corporate dinner party. We were all pleased to be entertained. You turned a normal sales meal to an event that people are still talking about weeks later. Thanks Again."
Dorota Gibiino, Marketing Manager - Digica

"A short note to thank you for your extremely professional performance at our Christmas party at the Vale Hotel. I am pleased to say that all guests enjoyed your show immensely, in terms of fun, standard of illusion and your professional manner and courtesy. It certainly did add enormously to our evening’s entertainment, for which I forward my sincere gratitude and that of my colleagues. I wish you every success with your business and I am confident that we will see you again in the future and that your business will grow thoughout the coming years. Once again, thank you on behalf of Carter Lauren Construction Ltd."

"Just a quick note to say thank you so much Saturday night. You were excellent and bought real value to the evening. Not only was your magic very professional your charisma and charm took the performance 'beyond expectations'."
Charles van Berckel, Tsunami Events

 

"Just a short note to thank you for the effort you put into making our stand at the InfoSec exhibition a complete success. Your crowd stopping and entertaining abilities increased significantly the number of prospective customers we attracted to our stand, while also keeping the Radware team spirits high as the days wore on. Without doubt, having you on our stand paid off handsomely in more ways than one! Our team definitely noticed a difference in attitude amongst the visitors after they had watched you. They felt the customers were much more relaxed during the hand over process which made the selling an enjoyable experience for both visitors and team. In all you have a great gift; a unique set of talents that work well together. Your ability to understand our business well enough to identify and deliver our unique selling points was very impressive. I look forward to working with you again in the near future and I would be more than happy to recommend your services to other companies."
Stephen Withers, UK General Manager, Radware UK Ltd

"Many many thanks for your efforts on Saturday - I honestly say everybody I talked to during and after the event said how much they had enjoyed your show. It contributed to a fantastic evening - certainly a very memorable one for Suzy which after all was the objective. As a psychologist one of the most interesting parts of your performance for me was how you dealt with different peoples responses to what your were doing and how you picked up on their openness to you. I am only sorry that you had to be in Birmingham instead of 'the land of your fathers' to celebrate the Grand Slam - hopeful you made it home for last orders. Richard if you ever need a reference or a potential client wants feedback before booking you give them my e-mail - it would be pleasure to sing your praises"
Alex Robertson, BIRMINGHAM
