What people say

There's no such thing as magic..................or is there?

"I saw Mark for the first time at a civic function in Norwich last night. I am always pleased to watch illusionists perform with playing cards, and wondered if I could actually see how the illusions were performed. Despite the fact the Mark was within 2 feet of me most of the time, his delivery, timing and dialogue was spot on (his Jokes, however...!) Marks illusions are in my opinion world class and I have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone, and indeed shall ask for him at future events that I shall host, both privately and civic. Thank you for a good show!"

Wonderful Personality and close up magic

"I cannot recommend Mark Daynes Magician highly enough. He recently looked after our guests at my wife Anne's Masonic Ladies Festival with his wonderful personality and close up magic. The whoops and gasps around the dinner tables on the night said it all….. he is a real professional and we are still trying to work out just how he bent those coins! Whether it is a wedding or a charity event Mark will not disappoint….just give him a call!"
