He seamlessly transitioned from being a chauffeur to a magician, dazzling us and our guests (of alll ages) with his impressive tricks and illusions. His magic was the perfect addition to our wedding reception, and he had everyone thoroughly entertained and mesmerized. We cannot thank Darren enough for his outstanding service and for making our special day even more unforgettable. His passion for his craft and his dedication to his clients truly shines through, and we would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a unique and memorable experience.
Thank you again for everything, and we wish Darren all the best in his future endeavours!"

"I just wanted to thank you for everything! You were tremendous! I appreciate you’re not a kids’ party magician but you were incredible with them! And as for us adults, well we were blown away!
Everybody was saying how clever you were and how much they enjoyed it - in fact several people would like to have you for THEIR events (which I hope I get invited round for so I can immerse myself in every trick you do because I missed so many or joined/left halfway through!). 😆 in fact, thank you for making the effort to do a couple of tricks with me - that was thoughtful of you and much appreciated! I’m so pleased you stayed the 90 minutes - one hour would never have been enough (for us anyway!).
I will most certainly leave you a raving review and I so hope to see you in the not too distant future!!"

"We booked Darren to do 90 minutes of close up magic for our wedding last weekend, and wow!!! He absolutely blew us all away! I have no idea how he did any of his magic, and our guests loved the surprise. Darren was very professional, and made sure he went around to all guests. He even came and did one last trick at our top table for us when we went in to the hall to sit down. I would highly recommend Darren, and would definitely use him again for any other parties. Thank you so much for making our special day even more memorable."

"Well, not really sure what to say! Many people said you were the best Close-Up Magician and the magic was the best they had seen! Two professional croupiers were amazed at your bedside manner with strangers you had never met before. Sharron and I were blown away with the tricks and the banter. I would definitely recommend you as a Magician to get the group of people revved up and ready for the big dinner speeches. We know six people who are going to use your services next year for party's and weddings. Thank you for a wonderful show, which just made a magical day come true!"

"We had a magic show from Darren zoomed live to our house last weekend and it was soooo much fun! Our favourite part was the mind reading... how did he do that??! Crazy! We linked with friends for our show so were able to share some time ‘together’, interacting in these otherwise dull times. Definitely recommend Darren!"

"You might think that close magic couldn’t possibly survive the lockdown? I know Lee and I certainly did…how wrong could we be. Zoom came to the rescue again - how amazing. Looking that close worked so well, we had a great time. It’s so amazing how creative people are making things work. We loved being close to the action but far away at the same time. Darren Whichellos ‘Las Vagas - Rat Pack’ style it worked so well with the magic. Cant wait for his next performance."
