What a wonderful evening

What a wonderful evening. I booked Slightly Unusual for my husband's 80th birthday. It was held at our bowling club with 70 people attending. Matt kept us all entertained going from table to table. Masses of noise and cheering.Then later a cabaret show.
Days later we are still wondering how he had performed the illusions
I have received many messages saying the best party ever. Thank you

Incredible magician

Craig performed at our 10 year works anniversary event and the feedback was nothing short of incredible! Simply an amazing up close magician who was the life of the party! 5*

Wow!!! Nothing else compares!

Craig and Slightly Unusual will be the experience you are talking about for years to come. I was visiting the UK and had the pleasure of attending a performance. The professionalism, the comedy, the magic, the intrigue… the whole experience was top notch! Everyone on the team offered something unique… From intimate close up to bigger illusions… it all felt very personal and I can only explain what I saw as Magic in its Purest form. I felt like a kid again. My only wish is that Slightly Unusual was where I lived. I would be hiring Craig and his team for every event that my friends or I do.

Craig and Slightly Unusual deserve…

Craig’s Slightly Unusual deserve their place as one of the leading magic acts in the UK. You’re guaranteed great entertainment. Ignore the solitary 1* review: it is clearly bogus and from someone who’s utterly unhinged and likely called Max Durocher who clearly waging a childish trolling campaign.

Amazing!

Craig was excellent entertaining our guests at our wedding reception! The team were so helpful and kept in touch right up until the wedding date to ensure everything ran smoothly. Craig was super talented and I would highly recommend to others looking to bring some magic to their event. Thanks!

Thanks Tanya. That's lovely to hear. The illusions are always popular.

Nothing short of incredible!

I had an incredible time with Slightly Unusual. The illusions were simply amazing, particularly the act where they made a girl disappear from a box. Adding to the excitement, Ryland from Britain's Got Talent delivered a super-amazing performance.

I highly recommend Slightly Unusual for their amazing illusions and the overall entertaining atmosphere they create both on stage and in the bar. It was a fantastic experience that I won't soon forget.

Slightly Unusual performed at an event we attended in support of Birmingham Childrens Hospital and they were incredible! Slightly Unusual performed close up magic for an hour by the bar before the show and we saw some great card tricks and Roman showed off some really impressive tricks with an elastic band! They they performed a superb stage show! I was really impressed by the rubiks cube magic in particular! I would definitely recommend
