If you're on the fence - Go and see the performance! - The intimate small audience and the charm of Billy conversing with the small crowd made a magical experience. The tricks and storytelling was brilliant!

A very fun time - I booked these tickets as a birthday present for my girlfriend who loves magic. I have never been to a magic show before and was a bit unsure of what to expect. Billy put on a really lovely show and the magic was very entertaining! I liked that the show was a smaller group and everyone was included to take part (if they wanted to). I had a really great time and my girlfriend loved her birthday present! I'd very much recommend a night of magic as something a bit different!

Braw show - Great show. My 10yr old loved it. A very friendly and engaging evening. We came away feeling positively full of magic and we talked about it all night❤️

Closely Watched and Greatly Enjoyed - We both genuinely had a fantastic experience. For me, I was unsure what to expect as a poor magic performance can be really disappointing; but it was a really, really good show! The audience were right up front with the table so we could see closely what Billy was doing - there were no cheap tricks using obfuscation. Not only were all the tricks impressive, but I enjoyed the storytelling aspect of the performance as well. I believe every single person in the audience took part in some way (myself included) which made the experience all the more personal and enjoyable. I don't think it's possible to go see this performance and not enjoy yourself - the whole thing was well planned and orchestrated. I hope to see Billy perform again sometime soon!

Spectacular and Beautiful Performance! - I got my friend and I tickets to see the show as part of her 30th birthday celebrations and it was a brilliant night! Billy was such a lovely and funny host and the magic was unreal. I thought since we were so close I could try and catch how he does it but I'm still absolutely dumbfounded and in awe of his talent! I'd definitely recommend to anyone!

Absolutely stunning! - Billy is absolutely top drawer, not only his magic skills, but his personality and humour were a great part of the show. If you like being amazed at close quarters, then i can highly recommend Billy Reid. A great family night I will remember for a long time. His only problem is topping what he did last night when I go see him again.
