We hired Dan for our wedding reception and I can hand on heart say it was one of the best decisions we made. It brought all the guests that didn't know each other together and broke the ice. For weeks after the wedding I had friends and family asking me where I knew him from and could I send them his details for future parties. His tricks were amazing and left you guessing how he did them. But to top it off he was a genuine, nice bloke. Very down to earth, calm and easy to chat to. I would strongly recommend Dan if you have an event coming up and want people to talk about it when it's finished. I would not think twice about hiring dan again.

I hired Dan countless times for many various events. On each occasion whether private or corporate he was adaptable, flexible to their needs and fantastic. His magic is slick, clever and unique with a flair only Dan can give. Personally he is also fantastic to work with, he understands the need to be on time and was even early on many occasions! When wanting something a bit more bespoke he was great fun to create with and he is perfect to put in front of any client. In all my many years in the events industry I wouldn't hesitate to reccomend him. He is also an incredibly nice guy, so your guests will love him!

Dan Farrant mesmerised our lunch party with his astonishing tricks. Even though I was sitting right next to him and watching every move I was completely stunned by the sheer impossibility of what I had just seen. He performs his magic with his sleeves rolled up and without any props. The illusion is so perfect that it is impossible to work out how it was done. The gasps and shrieks of delight from other guests indicated that they too were completely in awe of his skills. Added to all this is his most engaging and friendly manner which makes him a marvellous guest in his own right. I cannot wait to invite him back.

My friend and I had a joint 40th Birthday party on Saturday night and we booked Dan to entertain our guests with close up magic. My husband had previously seen him at a works function last year and was very impressed.
All I can say is that Dan was amazing! Our guests were blown away by his tricks. Our party was black-tie and Dan looked the part too. He was friendly and professional. It was great to see our friends and families faces after each trick. I have never heard so many gasps of amazement!
Thank you Dan! You helped to make our birthday party extra special and one we will remember for the rest of lives.

Dan the Magic Man, as he became known, travelled down to us in the deepest darkest New Forest for our son and new wife's wedding party. He was a real hit with all the guests - entertaining them outside during the drinks reception and then while people were seated waiting to be called up for dinner. He mystified and entertained everyone with his amazing close-up work and mind reading. Such a talented magician! He is extremely personable and was a key ingredient to what was a wonderful day. We would have no hesitation in recommending him and we are trying to think up an excuse for another party just so we can have him back down here again!

What a guy. Not only is Dan a down to earth, genuinely nice guy, his magic skills are incredible. Some might say mind blowing, annoyingly so! I was left trying to work out how he did them... and I still lose sleep over some of them. I'd highly recommend Dan for any event, he has a calm, gentle presence whilst giving a highly polished professional experience. He's a professional in his field and has a real ability to speak to people from all different walks and stages of life, and get them laughing their heads off within a few minutes. He creates truly memorable experiences, and for all the right reasons.
If there was a sixth star...

Having worked with lots of magicians for various events, Dan stands out with natural charm, incredible close-up tricks and a really easy-going nature. He has, in fact, tried to teach me the odd trick or magic-related skill a few times, which makes me even more appreciative of his skills - even if you know how he is doing something, it's still virtually impossible to replicate. He always appears one step ahead of you during a trick, and he manages to do it all in an incredibly endearing way. I would recommend him whole-heartedly for corporate events, private parties, weddings and everything else.

Dan and a colleague attended out charity Ball on Monday and they were excellent. The guests had speeches, interviews and a video to watch but most of them commented on how entertaining the magician was!
Dan was very professional, he was on time and smartly dressed. Our schedule changed from the original plan and Dan was very flexible and worked around us.
Our company will be organising another Ball in 2018 and my big recommendation will be to use Dan again.

I have used Dan for every client event I have hosted for the past 6 years. He is incredibly talented and leaves a lasting impression on your guests. Everyone still talks about him the next day. He really is a crowd pleaser and turns a good even into a great event! I would thoroughly recommend Dan for any event you are looking for an entertainer. Dan is professional, personable and an all round lovely guy!

We have hired Dan for countless corporate and private events and always enjoy working with him. He is incredibly professional, flexible and an amazing magician. He understands the needs of clients and is able to ensure that everyone has a good time. Dan’s magic is unbelievable and he is a pleasure to work with. We very much look forward to working with him again soon and would highly recommend him.

I have seen many magicians perform but Dan is by far the most gifted. He leaves me wondering if there are some other forces at work. His mind reading and ability to trick the eye go so far beyond good party tricks it becomes a little bit spooky (in a good way). If you are looking to be entertained and stupefied I would look no further than Dan. Aside from that, his quiet, polite manner makes him the perfect special guest at any dinner or event.

After a LOT of research, I hired Dan Farrant to attend my 40th birthday party and work his Magic! Dan was absolutely fantastic - every single guest commented on how brilliant he was. Such a find! He mingled with everyone and stunned them all with his talent. He made my birthday extra special and added the magic touch I was looking for. If you are looking for a close up magician - look no further! Thank you Dan!
~ Michelle H
Dan was asked to attend a corporate function and entertain our guests. He was very professional, friendly & courteous towards everyone.
Our guests were really surprised and entertained and you could hear exactly where Dan was at all times from the gasps of surprise and amazement at his magic!
I will not hesitate to recommend Dan and definitely use his services in the future :)

I Hired Dan to provide some entertainment at our Sgts Mess Xmas Ball. Dan was absolutely incredible, an amazing talent and a master of his craft. From start to finish he had everyone completely thrilled, he will provide so many incredible moments for your event or function and I cannot recommend him enough. His wizardry will leave everyone completely awestruck. How do you do it Dan?
~ Christopher D
I've seen Dan perform many, many times and he always blows me away with his brilliant close up magic. What sets him out amongst other magicians is his humorus and charismatic delivery. He really gives you a feel good experience. Seeing the reactions on people's faces is amazing. His unique style is both friendly and professional. You won't be disappointed.
~ Andy B
May 2019. Dan entertained myself and guest at our business 10th ann. party. He was outstanding. So many people came up to me to tell me that he was the best magician they had seen at close up tricks. He was very relaxed and got on well with guests. It is a pleasure to leave positive feedback and if you are thinking of booking Dan -please do. I would book again!

Dan is fantastic, truly. I think I was first introduced to Dan back in 2011 and I used him for our first corporate poker evening that year. Since then, he has attended all of our events here in London but also in Dublin, Edinburgh and Zurich.
Our clients love him. His magic is always fresh and Dan is always such a great addition to our events.
Dan gets a 5 star rating from me!
~ Sharon O
We had the pleasure of meeting Dan as part of our wedding day celebrations at Woodhall Manor in Suffolk. His relaxed and unique presentation of close up magic enthralled and delighted our guests all afternoon, so much so that they are still talking about him today ! Simply fabulous. Thank You Dan, for making our special day, well..... magical !
Sharon and Paul.

We hired Dan for our Christmas party after seeing him perform at a separate charity event earlier in the year. Fantastic, entertaining and responsive (a queue had formed at the cloakroom, so he concentrated on them as they waited - ideal). Not just your bog-standard card tricks either. He was the talk of the office the week after. Highly recommended and will be hiring again.
~ Oscar H
We hired Dan for our Wedding back in 2013! He was amazing and kept our guest entertained during that mid afternoon lull and something people talk about 2 years later.
We have seen other magicians at wedding since and they have been a minor imitations. Would highly recommend him for any social occasion.
~ Matt B
We hired Dan as 'after dinner' entertainment at a birthday celebration, and he turned out to be one of the highlights of the evening. Dan's amazing magic completely enthralled four generations of our family, all of them saying they simply couldn't believe their eyes!
We would definitely recommend Dan for any occasion.
~ Richard P
We hired dan for our end of series television wrap party and he didn't fail to disappoint! A fantastic experience with an extremely talented magician. He had an amazing personality and made all of the team feel comfortable and entertained. I would highly recommend to anyone and we will definitely be using again!! A very happy customer.
~ Ricky M
Everybody was amazed by Dan's brilliant magic. Dan was pleasant and entertaining to all our guests and everybody was talking about him at the end. He was there when he said he would be and just got on with the job, something different for a wedding but was just right. We will certainly be recommending him. Thanks Dan!
~ Chris L
Dan is a show-stopping magician. He performed at our wedding and guests declared him one of the highlights of the day - it was a great day. His magic tricks are fabulous and he is also skilled in helping guests feel relaxed and ensuring they have a wonderful night. Five star magic from a wonderful magician.
