Absolutely brilliant magician and entertainer. David kept the children (and adults!) entertained for a whole hour. There was so much laughter! We couldn't have asked for a better or more professional act for our son's birthday party. Thank you David.

We Booked A Box of Tricks over the Halloween weekend, and we were extremely happy with the services the lovely Mr Oakley provided for our facilities, and our customers. Great engagement with the children and parents. Overall, a high quality, value for money children's shows. Mr Oakley's fabulous magic show left the audience, and us wanting more! Highly recommend, and will book again for future events.

A Box of Tricks entertained families from NAS Stafford yesterday via Zoom and we all had a thoroughly good time! David's blend of silliness and amazing magic trickery had his young audience smiling and laughing and eye popping! We had lots of lovely feedback from our families who really enjoyed themselves, including one parent who said that her daughter doesn't normally engage with Zoom but was completely absorbed throughout. Thank you to David and Dennis!

David provided a first class service for our daughter's birthday party.
From the initial booking to the day itself, David was extremely professional.
His show is hilarious for children and adults alike. We received many compliments from people about how he kept the audience of 30 children hooked. 100% recommended :)

My original entertainer let me down 4 weeks before my daughters 5th birthday party, with it being Christmas all other entertainers were fully booked. David was literally a life saver, he already had a party in the morning however went out of his way to ensure my little girls party wasn’t ruined.
David entertained the kids for the whole time and they had lots of fun, everyone enjoyed it and the day was saved. I would definitely recommend
