"I have hired Leon for many events. At our most recent event, Leon arrived early and cracked on straight away with wowing, shocking and surprising my guests. Throughout the entire evening he created a magical atmosphere. He approached every single guest, whether they were sitting or standing, in big groups or in small groups. This for me is the best part about Leon's performances, as he likes to involve everyone. I have come across many magicians in my lifetime, but Leon is by far the most enchanting."

Leon is a great magician who mixes his tricks with a playful theatrical style that marks him apart from the rest. He’s charismatic and fun and a great addition to any event. We’ve worked with him for several years now and always look forward to having him as part of our team.

“Leon's magic was a fantastic addition to my 30th birthday party & was thoroughly entertaining! Would definitely recommend booking, Leon is very communicative, easy to deal with & best of all, flexible - willing to fit into your event however you wish.”

"Leon can make anyone feel like a child in a candy store! His show drags the audience right into the act, as he immerses you into his world of extraordinary magic!"
Halfdan Keller Justesen- CoEE Volunteer

"I love Leon's style as artist and the way he mesmerises   me, continuously making me feel like a curious child - Can't get enough <3"
Carina Enggård- CoEE Volunteer

"At The CoEE,   designers from many different fields came together to discuss the tools we use to create experiences. A huge shout out to the magicians Leon Simmonds and Marcus Lewis ,  who showed how they carefully construct the smallest details of language and gesture to impact perception. I learned a lot from both of them, which will make me a much better designer in my own field.
I think that's the magic of COEE. We learn from designers who, on the surface, seem to do wildly different work. And then, as we talk, we realise how similar our work really is."

He even made time towards the end of the event to show myself and a few colleagues his skills which were spot on! If it’s magic you’re after, he’s your man.”

Thank you so much for your hard work on Saturday night. Your tricks were amazing. The little girl who you did the rabbit trick for was so impressed – as I was with your “I lie, I steal, I cheat” trick. Many, many thanks.

"I booked Leon as a wedding present for my uncles wedding and I can't sing his praises enough! His tricks were fantastic, mesmerising both young and old but the best part is Leon himself. He is funny, quick witted and a genuinely nice guy. Watching everyone's reactions was a mixture of amazement and disbelief! I wouldn't hesitate recommending him to friends and family and will definitely be booking him again! Thanks Leon, you are going to be a superstar!"

Hi Leon. I just wanted to say thank you so much for performing at our wedding on Friday 27th June. Everyone mentioned to me how amazing they thought your tricks were, and people are still talking about it almost 3 weeks on :) One of the boys at the wedding was so impressed with your magic, he's now gotten into himself! We'd love to see you performing again in the future, please do keep in touch and let us know of any events you're planning.

Hope all is well, and thanks again!

"We booked Leon for our wedding, you never know what you're going to get but he came with very high recommendations so we decided to employ him to perform. We should never have been worried as he was an absolute star and assisted hugely in making our day so special for us, our family and friends, he did not fail to amaze every type of age group, even my 80 year old mother was blown away!"

"I hired Leon to entertain at a works Christmas party I planned for a local company in 2013. The theme was Edwardian and Leon arrived on time very much looking the part. We had a great night! Leon amazed us with his magic and card tricks between courses and really kept the party going. His naturally easy-going manner and flexibility were very useful when courses ran over and the guests became festively gregarious!
I have no hesitation to recommending him to others and have in fact booked him already again. This time for a 40th birthday in March.
Book Leon and have a great night!"

I was very impressed with Leon, along with my party guests. I had never hired a magician for an adult party, so was a little unsure what to expect and how it would work. Leon was very adaptable we had adults, kids and teenagers so mixture of ages and it worked very well- all were entertained and impressed. Leon mingled around the party, so people were able to chat and participate in his act.

"I hired Leon for our RAF summer ball and he was absolutely outstanding. His close up magic needs to be seen to be believed and all the guests were blown away by it.
His friendly funny nature only adds to what is already an exquisite performance.
In all the years I've attended the Ball his is without doubt head and shoulders above any magician we've had before and I will be him booking again.
I cannot recommend him highly enough."

You did exactly what I hoped by bringing an extra dimension to the evening and it worked even better than I actually thought it would.

I am sure we will meet up again, Kind regards"

"We first booked Leon for our Charity Christmas Lunch in 2011 and he was so popular we decided to book him again for our Christmas event this year. Leon is a fantastic magician with wonderful charm and is very popular with our diners at the Christmas lunch. Leon’s magic involves everyone and he keeps people laughing and smiling as well. He is fantastic doing one to one magic or working with a bigger crowd. His rates for top class entertainment are very reasonable and we would advise other organisations to book him at once for their future events."

He sourced a colleague & between them, they managed to work all 40 tables, entertaining guests with amusing & polished feats of close up magic. Guests ranged from young football professionals to local businessmen & Leon's ability to adapt to this varied audience was remarkable & left everyone clamouring for more! I would have no hesitation in recommending Leon to any agencies or clients, his skills & professionalism are outstanding."
