Act quick to get your tickets !! Great night out and great value - This is a great night out , to watch Billy up close in an intimate venue with only about 20 in the audience . You feel as if you are in your living room ! Take advantage of a drink or meal in Bungo beforehand upstairs , also highly recommended

Billy Reid - Have taken the kids twice and gone back with my friends and their kids and then back again with more family members. Five stars all round - total escapism. Some might say it's a kind of ...magic? Every time it's different and there's been a couple of different tricks ...the narrative of the whole show is to watch closely. Leaves you with food for thought . Book tix you'll not regret it a great night out

Brilliant - Billy is a brilliant magician and performer! He is very professional and records his show so he can improve afterwards, which I really appreciate! I loved every second of the show and I cannot wait to go again!

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!

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!
