We did an Internet search and was really impressed with one particular website. We emailed a selection of different magicians for quotes. The one with the website we really liked came back with a really friendly and chatty email and straight away we warmed to him. In the email he said that if we were in London at any time he would be happy to meet for coffee to show us what he does without any obligation to book.
So two weeks ago we headed to London with Mark's daughter to meet Neb the magician. It was a little surreal sitting in the Waterloo Station branch of Starbucks while a magician showed us a couple of tricks! He was a lovely Scottish man and we weren't disappointed! His tricks blew our minds and for a week afterwards we shook our heads every now and then asking each other how he did them!
We have subsequently booked him and are really looking forward to seeing more of tricks on the night! If you fancy getting an idea of what he does this is his website:

We asked him about the Davina McCall quote on the site. He met her at Charles Worthington's (hairdresser)
New year's party where he was booked for a gig. So he has performed to the rich and famous!
