Testimonials

He is the funniest and by far the most accomplished performer on the New Magic scene…funnier than most comedians and more magical than Dumbledore on a good day. This guy is a complete star.
Pete Firman is putting the pimp back into magic… leave your scepticism at the door and see it to believe it.
Pete is one of the most professional entertainers we have ever had at an event. His cheeky, fast paced (but not offensive) humour, had the audience roaring with laughter. On top of that, he was an absolute pleasure to deal with. We would not hesitate to book him again.
