5stars++++++++++ This guy is out of this world. My husband was adamant that he wanted to get Shane as he had seen him at a previous wedding and to be honest I wasn't overly bothered but OH MY GOD the guy is outstanding at what he does. There were guests following him around just in sheer awe of his work. There was lots of sceptics and Shane blew their minds. Jaws on the floor. I would definitely advise getting the videographer as well because watching it all back is absolutely class, seeing everyone's reactions. We had 5 types of different entertainment throughout the whole day and this guy was top of everyone's conversations, no one else came near. The money is so unbelievably worth it. He is also really easy to get on with and very witty. Claire & Ronan Summer 2024

Shane is hands down the best magician I have every come across. A month on he is still one of the main talking points of our wedding. I have had lots of friends contact me for his details for events because of the show he put on. He blended into the crowd and performed some of the most amazing unique tricks I have ever seen, He has a great sense of humour and let us all SHOOK! HIGHLY recommended Shane for ANY function!

Near two weeks on from our wedding and people are still talking about how amazing Shane was! I have never seen a mentalist as good as him. He blended into the wedding party and left people shocked and amused. If you are looking for entertainment for any event I would highly recommend Shane!

Absolutely Amazing!!

If you’re looking for entertainment for your wedding look no further. We had Shane at our wedding and it was the best decision.

Since the wedding we’ve had people comment on how the food etc. was lovely but absolutely everybody has dramatically gushed about how amazing and mind blowing Shane was.

Shane worked the drinks reception rooms and the function room to perfection, ensured everybody had a chance to experience some of his tricks.

I don’t think we can really put into words how impressed we were, you just NEED to experience it yourself. We sincerely hope to see Shane again at some stage as he was unbelievable.

We asked Shane to entertain our guests at the drinks reception for our wedding. We couldn’t have been more pleased with the results. Guests were genuinely amazed with what Shane did as he worked around friends and family. They couldn’t stop talking about it and were confounded at the many amazing moments of magic and mind-reading.

Shane is a true professional and very personable man. We couldn’t have been happier to have found him.

We had the absolute pleasure of Shane Black performing at our wedding three weeks ago in The Hamlet Court Hotel. We booked Shane for our wedding after previously seen him perform at another wedding we attended. From the first point of contact with Shane, I can only describe him as an absolute gentleman. Shane entertained guest at our drinks reception which was a massive ice breaker and got everyone chatting. Shane also did an unbelievable job on the audio that introduced us in for the first time as Mr. & Mrs. Shane also went from table to table during the meal and kept our guests entertained as well as doing a stand up show for everyone before the speeches. Our guests were blown away by Shane and are still talking about him today. Shane was really a massive part of our day. I have no idea how he does what he does but you will not be disappointed. Shane we sincerely thank you from the bottom of our hearts for been such a special part of our day and making it so memorable.
We could honestly not recommend Shane highly enough. Thanks again Shane,

Shane provided an unforgettable experience for our wedding party in Laois.

I won't ruin the surprise but he left us with some amazing memories and everyone really found he added a lot to the day.

A huge thank you to Shane for his literally "magical" skills. I thought that our guest would be talking about the amazing venue, delicious food, and great company but instead they are still asking "how did Shane do that?"
It was truly brilliant and you really helped in making our day truly a magical event. We could not recommend Shane highly enough for any event.

If we could add more stars to this review we would!!! Shane did an amazing job with entertaining our guests at our wedding drinks reception, getting the day off to such a fun start. Everyone is still talking about his unbelievable mind reading and magic tricks, still trying to figure out how he did it all. His photographer took such fantastic reactions of our guests to his tricks, we have those photo memories of our guests having fun forever, which is priceless!!! He also recorded our entrance announcement which sounded stunning and he was so professional to deal with. We would highly recommend him!

Hi Louise and Josh,

Being part of your special day was an absolute joy. Best wishes to you both for the future and I genuinely hope our paths cross again.

We used Shane for our wedding as entertainment in September and he was by far and away a highlight of the day! Our guests loved everything about the performance and were raving about it to us for weeks afterwards.

The photos taken of the guest reactions on the day were excellent - really adding to the experience and we are delighted to have them as an additional keepsake of the day.

Shane is a commensurate professional and an outstanding addition to anyone's event or wedding - highly highly recommend and we'll be using his services again in the future!

And the photos! His photographer was non-intrusive and the results created priceless memories!

Shane's performance at our wedding reception left everyone absolutely astounded. His talent was beyond belief, and our guests couldn't wrap their heads around how incredible his act was. The expressions of sheer amazement on people's faces were priceless ? you had to witness it to believe it. This wasn't your typical "pull a card from your sleeve" magician routine. Shane is on a whole different level. I admit, I was highly skeptical at first, but his skills surpassed anything I could have imagined. Shane moved from table to table, captivating everyone with his mind-bending abilities. He was extremely kind, giving a special performance for the wedding team, and making sure that no one was left behind. His performance was a topic of conversation throughout the night. We can't thank him enough for making our celebration even more unforgettable.

Myself and my husband, Dan, had originally seen Shane perform about 8 years ago at a friends wedding and as we were so impressed, we always said we would love him to be a part of our day. When we got engaged and were then organising our own wedding in Ballymagarvey Village, there was no question in our minds that we would have Shane join us, to make our day even more magical.
From start to finish Shane was so easy to deal with and advised us on which package may suit us best, taking into account the number of guests. He also created a very special audio for us, to use for our room entrance, which our guests all commented on.
As for Shane's performance itself, well there just isn't enough words to describe the magic and excitement that filled Ballymagarvey on 12th July. The shock and surprise on our guests face were priceless and I am so thankful that Shane brought along his own photographer to catch all the reactions - special memories that we will have forever! He truly made our wedding for us and almost two months on, our guests are still talking about him, trying to figure out ?how he did it????? . We thank you so much Shane for making our day so special and we cannot wait to see you preform again, hopefully someday soon! Mandy and Dan

Shane, you rocked our day, people are still talking about you, the guesses on how you do it include magnets, someone spying from the ceiling, you trawling social media (though given the average age of our guests I cannot see how that would work lol), you just hypnotised the whole room, you have sold your soul to the devil or our personal favourite you have a spirit guide that you have enslaved for all eternity.
Whichever it is, you were a fab addition to our day

A must for your wedding reception drinks. The cherry on top… bringing more magic to a magical day. Shane was the single most talked about part of our wedding day. Two months on people are still trying to figure out the illusions and tricks. Shane had people in stitches laughing and in absolute shock during his performances. The reaction photos of yourselves, and our guest, that we got back from Shane are amazing. It was a pleasure to work with Shane in the run up to the wedding and delighted to have had him part of our day.
The recorded voiceover Shane provided to announce us into the room for dinner was a classy extra touch that didn’t go unnoticed by our guests.

Shane absolutely blew our guests away during our wedding reception - people are still talking about what they saw and trying to figure out how it was possible. He'd prepared a special trick for us as the wedding couple but made his way round lots of our guests - and impressed everyone, including lots of people who would have been pessimistic about a mentalist entertainer - the photos of he reactions are just great - I only wish we'd had Shane for longer! Thanks so much Shane - would 100% recommend you for wedding entertainment.

Shane was the highlight of our wedding at the Merrion hotel. So many guests have been complimenting the show and said that it was one of the funnest parts of the wedding. Shane engaged with everyone and made everyone feel the magic. He went above and beyond by staying much longer and doing extra magic tricks to make sure he covered all the guests.

Shane was a fantastic addition to our wedding day - a real highlight. Family and friends are still mentioning him to us three months later, and no one has yet worked out how he performed any of the tricks! He was a delight to deal with and the addition of his own photographer was the icing on the cake as this resulted in brilliant reaction shots of our guests at a time when the wedding photographer was busy looking after bride and groom... a real bonus. We opted for the essential package after discussing the options with Shane - he had great insight and advice on what would work best for the day we had in mind along with our venue. We could not recommend Shane more highly, and would love to see him again at a future event!

We had the absolute pleasure of Shane Black performing for both ourselves and our guests at our wedding! We saw Shane at a wedding a number of years back and agreed that if we ever got married he would most definitely be at ours!
I cannot even begin to explain how amazing he made our day, and the fact that our guests are still talking about him. We imagined him to be great again, but I will go as far as to say he was phenomenal. He included everyone, old and young and he captured moments for us in picture that we can look back on and be reminded of. If you're looking for 'awe and wonder' and top class entertainment, then look no further than Shane Black. You won't be sorry

I honestly don't know where to begin with how incredible Shane is. When we started the planning process we knew we wanted some sort of entertainment for our guests and it didn't take long at all to decide on reaching out to Shane. His professionalism and ease to work with through the booking process was fantastic. Every guest that got to see Shane or interact with him is raving about him, the things he can do and knows, its just mind blowing!!!!! Hearing all the stories back is just giving us such joy. Our genuine only regret is not booking Shane for the full day! Honestly if you are having any doubts on the packages, you will not regret booking Shane for the full event. Absolutely amazing!!!! Thanks Shane for everything.

When I booked Shane, I got the package which included a photographer and entrance music for the dinner entrance which sounded amazing.

When we first started planning the wedding, a magician was definitely something we both wanted. Due to the overall cost of a wedding, we were on the fence about having one, but in the end, after having Shane recommended to us and doing some online research into him, it was simply a must to have him there, and we couldn't have been more right to do so. He is incredibly talented with his craft and he convinced some non believers that magic might actually be real. He's an incredibly professional and overall lovely person and has kept in contact with us and kept us in the loop with regards to when photos were going to be available, (having his own photographer is a fantastic idea and seeing the photos has really given us belly laughs this evening), I couldn't recommend Shane enough, and for any soon to be wed couples, Shane will really make your day incredibly special for yourselves and all your guests.

We had originally heard of Shane from my brother in law and how he had performed all manner of tricks and been a big hit at a wedding he had attended. We wanted to entertain our guests during a drinks reception after the ceremony while we were off grabbing some photos. I still haven't heard the end of praise and stories from Shane's performance during this time. A particular highlight of the day not only for our guests but ourselves as well. Shane performed a trick for my wife and I at the end and it still cannot even begin to work out how it is even possible. A definite hit on the day with everyone and so glad we went with Shane on the day.

I honestly just can't recommend Shane highly enough. We booked him just a week before our wedding and it was definitely the best decision we ever made. We just can't even put into words how amazing he is. He is just absolutely phenomenal. He will blow your mind and leave your guests talking about how brilliant he is. I don't know how he does it but he is just spectacular. I think on his website it says illusionist/magician but he has to be psychic too. It is not just me that said that but loads of our guests too. We had him for our reception for 2 hours and honestly I wish we had him from the end of the meal to start of the band too. If you are looking for something different and a mind blowing experience just book Shane. I would definitely double book him if you can and especially if you have a large wedding. I was so disappointed that a few guests did not get to experience Shane's amazing talent. I am trying to convince other people to book him for communions and 21st's as I would absolutely love to see him again. He is also an absolute gentleman. All I can say is don't think twice about booking him. He is worth every penny and more. I hope we have the pleasure of seeing him in action again soon cos he is just super talented.

Couldn't recommend Shane Black highly enough. He was the perfect pre-dinner entertainment everyone was raving about how good he was. We knew he would be good from how freaked out we were from the demo at our first meeting via zoom but what he delivered on the day was beyond our expectations. I still have no idea how he does what he does but it's incredible! He created such a buzz and excitement that carried through the whole day. The best thing I can say is I heard one or two people say the next day how disappointed they were to have missed him which shows how much people enjoyed it!!

All I can say is, if you're thinking of booking Shane for your wedding, Do It. Don't hesitate. We had Shane at our wedding last week and couldn't recommend him enough. Having originally seen him at my sisters wedding nearly 10 years ago, I knew I would have him at my own one day. Shane was a pleasure to deal with from day 1 and even when we had to postpone it was no problem with Shane to change the date. On the day itself, all I can say is Wow. Shane blew everyone away. A class act. How he does what he does I'll never know but as entertainment goes,he is the best in the business. Everyone I've talked to since the wedding last week has said their minds were blown by Shane. They absolutely loved him. As we were busy getting photos I only got to see him do a couple of tricks throughout the day but Shane made sure to spend time with myself and my husband before we went for dinner and he certainly didn't disappoint. In fact, our minds are still blown a week later. Thank you Shane. You are truly amazing at what you do. Jennifer and Ian 21-10-21

Apart from myself and my husband, Shane was the absolute star of the show. He showed up and got stuck in with our guests immediately and they loved every minute! Absolutely engaging and friendly. I would highly recommend him, not just for weddings, he's astounding and to top it off, he's a really nice guy. Brilliant ice breaker for situations where not everyone knows each other. 3 months on and we're still getting compliments on his performance. He brings a sparkle and joy with him along with a great photographer! Well worth every penny. Made us feel so special. Truly incredible.

When we couldn't have live music at our wedding due to Covid rules, we knew we still wanted to have some kind of entertainment for guests to keep people having fun after dinner. Shane Black was amazing! Honestly better than having a band anyway! He visited tables during dinner to do up close tricks, and everyone's mind was blown. After dinner he did a stand up bit for the whole room, and it was the perfect way to get everyone laughing and keep the energy going. I really couldn't recommend him enough if you're looking for something unique that will keep people talking! Thank you Shane!

Covid Wedding have been challenging enough. Limited number of guests and entertainment. We were so lucky to be able to have the fantastic Shane Black attend and entertain both our guests and ourselves at our Wedding on the 23rd July this year.
For those who have not seen Shane perform we could not speak highly enough of him. He was absolutely top class in all aspects.
Our guests are still talking about him over two months later. Thank you Shane for being a part of our Special Day.

I had first heard about Shane years ago from my sister who had been at a wedding he was performing at and I said then whenever I get married I'm going to get him. One of the first things I did when we got engaged a year and a half ago was book Shane.
We had our wedding 17th July 2021 and I can tell you he did not disappoint!

From the minute he arrived he had everyone amazed! Everyone is still talking about him. One of the most talked about parts of our wedding was Shane's performance he stayed for our arrival drinks and got around to everyone. Apart from his amazing talent, Shane was an absolute gentleman. Emails back and forth throughout the year even during covid we felt so reassured he was going to be brilliant!

A few of our engaged family and friends are already thinking about booking him for their wedding.

We really hope to see him again in the future.

Thanks again Shane!

We had the amazing opportunity to have Shane attend our wedding this month. An absolute gentleman and great addition to the entertainment at our wedding. Many guests still talking about the performances carried out during our drinks reception. We also recieved excellent reaction photographs a number of days after the wedding. Shane performed far beyond our expectations.

Booking Shane was hassle free, communication via call or email and very approachable and helpful at all times. I would have no hesitation on booking Shane again for any future events. Best of luck.

Shane is honestly worth his weight in gold to have at your wedding! We could never have anticipated how amazing a decision including Shane would be. We went from an original guest list of 250 down to 40 people and wanted an entertainment option that would suit the crowd size and give our guests a different experience. Shane was so easy to deal with and was able to suggest appropriate timings and packages. We went for the arrivals option and when we arrived after our photos, the atmosphere in the room was incredible - everybody was mesmerised by Shane and anyone who arrived late was immediately pulled over to Shane by the other guests to witness him for themselves. It was the best ice-breaker and the stories from the act were still going at breakfast the following morning. Shane has a lovely manner of blending in with the guests and is a really genuine and likeable person! If you are worried a magician might be loud or flamboyant, the opposite could not be more true of Shane - a professional in every respect! We still don't have a clue how he does what he does - we can only hope he uses his powers for good when he's not entertaining. :)

Wow Eimear! Thank you for your incredibly kind words, and for having me be a part of your wedding - your family and friends were a lot of fun to perform for.

Shane performed at our wedding recently and i can only say that it was the best money we ever spent! From the first email to him leaving the hotel, he was an absolute pleasure to work with. Due to covid we had to postpone our wedding and had to drop the guest numbers to 42. We were very unsure as to what entertainment/ music would suit the small crowd. Shane was the perfect choice! He knew what would suit the group and mixed extremely well with everyone. He had people mesmerised within minutes!
Having Shane there broke the 'lull' in between the meal and entertainment (which was a dj) and was just what the crowd needed. He was a firm favourite of adults and children and people are still talking about him! He did the impossible on the night and it was truly amazing! I would highly recommend Shane for any sort of gathering/ party and am delighted to say that he was part of our special day.

Absolutely amazing... We booked Shane as we had a wedding during COVID. A family wedding with friends joining us later as it was a small number of guests (36) we felt after dinner the atmosphere might die down so that's how we booked Shane and it was the best decision. Everyone was stunned how he does what he does... All of us were left completely stunned and amazed!!! Adults and teenagers loved the show... We had younger children / teenagers at the wedding which Shane was brilliant with very patient and spent time with them afterwards explaining and showing them tricks they were all completely in awe!!! I would 100% recommend Shane and we really hope we get to see his show again... Worth every penny!!

We booked Shane as we were looking for something that would get our guests mingling and talking to each other during the drinks reception (as we've lived in a lot of different places a lot of our guests didn't know many/any of the others). Shane did a great job and blew a few minds in the process. A couple of our most skeptical guests are still driving themselves mad trying to work out how he can do what he does -we even had one guest report a couple of sleepless nights after seeing him. We found the easiest thing to do was to ask no questions and just allow ourselves to be amazed!
We weren't exactly sure what we were letting ourselves in for as we hadn't seen anything like this at a wedding (or any event) before, safe to say that Shane far exceeded our expectations. We were pleased that all our guests got to see him in action, he made a big effort to be sure that he got around to everybody before he finished up. We would highly recommend him for any event.

On the day we had guests coming up to us telling us how great he was and when he came to us we knew exactly what they were talking about he absolutely blew us away. His manner was just as good as his performance. He made sure to get to everyone and even told us to let him know if there was anyone in particular we wanted him to go to. His performance added to our wedding and really got our guests mingling. It was money worth spending and I would definitely consider getting him again. If you are looking for wedding entertainment you would be mad to pass shane hes absolutely amazing. 😊

We are nearly a month after our wedding and Shane is top of everyone’s lists to talk about. At our drinks reception, he really got everyone mingling and talking. He went from table to table during dinner and we were delighted to hear the applause and shocked exclamations from the top table because we knew our guests were having a ball.
Not only is Shane unbelievably talented but so pleasant to deal with and the guests loved his manor too. Thank you Shane for making our wedding unforgettable, I really hope we cross paths again.

Trish and I had our wedding on the 12th of September 2019, and from the first point of contact with Shane to the last, he was a pleasure to deal with. Shane was very informative and was able to answer all of our questions in a timely manner.

Shane’s performance on the day was OUTSTANDING! All of our guest were blown away, including myself and Trish. His performance was the topic of discussion throughout the night. He worked his way around every table and all of our guests had a chance to see him perform. We really wanted to surprise our guests with something memorable and different, Shane delivered this and much much more. Shane was one of the highlights and a major talking point of our wedding. He was so well received by our guests, so much so that he was booked on the night by one of our guests for their wedding next year. He truly exceeded our expectations. He is extremely good value for money and you will not be disappointed with him. If you are in between two minds of whether or not to go this route of entertainment, BOOK Shane. You will not be disappointed. We will 100% book Shane again for future events and look forward to seeing his performance again.

What else can we say but Amazing!!! Shane was a pleasure to work with from Start to finish!!! All his tricks are unreal! And He def exceeded Me and Roisin’s expectations on our wedding day ,we read reviews all saying how good he was but this Does not compare until you see the man in action wit your own eyes, we booked Shane to stay on until just before the speaches so he could go round all the tables at dinner this package is slightly more expensive but worth everypenny and would also highly recommended anyone to take that package when booking Shane for their wedding. Shane has been the talk of our wedding since Saturday and has everyone buzzing from his tricks we will all definitely be considering him for any future events we have that are coming up in the future.

We booked Shane over email as we live in Australia and had lots of recommendations for him by a few friends. We where looking for a bit of entertainment for guests after the ceremony while we where away getting pictures taken, also thought it was a great idea to have him go around the tables when guests had been seated. Without a doubt Shane is AMAZING at what he does. Having never actually met Shane until the wedding day we where a bit nervous as to what to expect but we were blown away with his professionalism and manor. He came out and introduced himself to us and to let us know he was there and getting started. All of our guests loved him and raved about him for weeks after. We thought we wouldn't get much time to see him but he actually pulled us away for a little private show while guests where getting seated for dinner. It was so good and we really appreciated it as we truly got to see what he could do and we couldn't believe our eyes. We both can not recommend Shane enough he really set the mood for the day and blew everyone's mind. We had guests asking if we gave him information about them, they just couldn't believe the stuff he knew. He is a top class magician and worth every penny. If your looking for a magician for your wedding 100% book Shane you won't be disappointed and you?ll walk away wondering how he did it. Thanks Shane Amy and Nicky

We had Shane entertain our guests at our wedding one week ago and since then we have heard his name 1000 times!!! Everybody is commenting on how they were blown away by what he could do, even the more skeptical of the crowd. Shane was definitely the highlight of the day for our guests.

Initially when I suggested hiring Shane, John was not keen (being a skeptic himeself!!) but thanks to the special show Shane but on for him he has admitted for the first time in our marriage that I was right!!!

Thank you Shane, we wish you all the best in the future. To anybody looking for wedding entertainment that has the WOW factor, Shane is your man!

Shane's act was one of the highlights of the day for us, and our guests. His talent is fascinating and entertaining in equal measure. Long after he left, we were still asking ourselves, ?How did he do that?? Another point worth making is that he stayed around for a while answering questions from the kids who were mesmerised by what they saw. Generous touch.

Shane was very professional & easy to work with and I would highly recommended him for any event really. Also delighted we hired his photographer to capture our guests reactions.

Having Shane Black at our wedding was the absolute highlight for so many people. Everybody commented on his performance. People were mesmerized. I was delighted hearing and watching people's reactions.

We are in our mid forties and a lot of our relatives especially our parents, uncles and aunts are in the 60-70 age bracket, and we knew that a-lot of them wouldn't be around for the disco so it was really important for us that they were entertained and had something to talk about during the day. I'm so glad that I choose Shane for this purpose, my husband, father-in-law and brother-in-law wouldn't be great at splashing the cash but they were so impressed with Shane that for the first time in twelve years I heard them say in agreement well boy-jasus he was money well spent. That said it all for me.

We had Shane perform at the drinks reception of our wedding. - How my show added to your wedding, to help break the ice and pass time for the guests, between the ceremony and dinner, while we were having photos taken.

We left booking Shane until very late. He had another gig that day on but was flexible on both timing and price to give us as much of a show as he could, before he had to leave for the next one.

When we arrived at the reception about an hour after Shane had started, we had friends and family walking around a little shell-shocked and demanding to know what personal information we had shared with Shane in advance (we hadn't). People had no idea how he knew what he knew (and neither do we).

Shane made a point of involving us both in a couple of tricks, so that we got to enjoy the show as well as the guests. Due to the limited amount of time, he also made a point of performing to larger groups of guests, so as many people as possible got to see him.

We particularly liked Shane's trick of asking a guest about a holiday, but already having the details written in a sealed envelope.

Shane was a pleasure to deal with and the show was excellent. A great way to keep the crowd entertained.

We had Shane perfom at our wedding on New Years Eve 2018. We had never seen Shane perform before and had booked him purely on reviews that we had read and seen some of the reaction photos. We wanted some pre-dinner entertainment and was seeking something a bit different to the norm. We were a little apprehensive in the lead up to the day as we weren't sure how the show would go and if it would be a hit. We needed have worried it was AMAZING!
It was the best decision to book Shane!! On the day of the wedding, the next day and since our friends and family have not stopped talking about his performance. They were blown away by his skills and it was a great ice breaker at the wedding and a great way to bring our guests together.
Shane was very professional, and appeared really enthusiastic to give a great performance. He definitely stayed over the allocated time that we had agreed and got around to all tables.
We booked his assistant photographer also and have since got the reaction photos posted to us, over 200 photos which are so hilarious and capture the brilliant reactions of our guests.
If you are considering booking Shane for your wedding i would strongly advise that you do, you can't go wrong and everyone will love it from little children to older guests and it's a great way to bring groups together from across both your families.

I'll let Karine know you enjoyed the photos, she'll be thrilled. Wishing you the very best in your married life, and I really hope to see you both again in the future.

Shane was an absolutely fantastic addition to our wedding day. His act is unique and it was something different that got guests from both sides of the families interacting and chatting. Shane was very professional in his service, he responded quickly to emails and was there on the day entertaining guests from the get go. The guests couldn't stop talking over the entire weekend about the tricks that Shane did. Everyone was amazed by what he was doing and the feedback from the guests was that he was brilliant. We can't explain how Shane does what he does but it was fantastic - an excellent addition to our drinks reception. We would definitely recommend him for wedding entertainment. :)

We booked Shane for our wedding on the 17/11/2018. Simply put, it was without doubt the best decision we made.

Finding words to explain how incredible his performance was is proving to be difficult. They say a picture paints a thousand words; well I can still vividly picture the look of amazement on our guest's faces and also hear the shouts and gasps of disbelief as he moved through the room performing a huge variety of magic and mind reading
.
We opted for the 4hr performance; this allowed Shane time with our guests at the drinks reception prior to the meal, and then further time during and after the meal. We had 210 guests in total, and amazingly everyone got to witness his talent. During the meal you can also request particular tables for time to be focused on such as those of close family/friends.

Shane is an absolute gentleman, friendly, funny and very professional. An example which confirms all was when one of our guests embarrassingly mistook him for a hotel manager and asked him for some gravy! His reply was ?leave it with me?, and then discreetly passed the message onto the hotel staff. Such was the quality of his magic I was nearly expecting him to conjure up a boat of gravy from somewhere!

Throughout the evening each and every guest we were speaking to commented on how much they enjoyed the magic and how they had never seen anything like it. Even at the end of the night and the days after, our guests were still raving about it.

I would like to make a point of emphasizing how high level Shane's magic and mentalist work are. His work is multiples classes above other magicians I have seen at functions. The things he can do simply blow your mind, leave you awestruck, questioning reality and wondering how is that even possible? I highly doubt there is anyone else out there that even comes close to his level.

My final advice would be, put less emphasis on selfie mirrors, sweet carts, doughnut walls etc. Invest your money in booking a performance from Shane, I assure you it will be the best decision you make. It will make your wedding day stand apart from all others and also make it a day you and your guests will never forget.

Thank you again Shane.

I am constantly working on innovative ways to improve my act, and it's feedback like this that lets me know I'm on the right track and makes it all the more rewarding - so thank you. Wishing you both all the best for the future, and I hope to see you again soon. P.S. I better start working on my gravy conjuring skills as I'm getting confused with hotel staff a lot recently!

We seen Shane perform at a friends wedding and had been totally blown away by his abilities. We knew there and then we wanted him for our wedding. We loved how he just blended in with the guests and had everyone shocked and in awe. So much so friends are still talking about him. In fact a member of my family had to walk away from one trick as he was in his words “Freaked out “. Words cannot describe what Shane is capable of and you must see it to believe it with your own eyes. Shane made our wedding day very unique and cannot thank him enough.

Shane entertained our wedding guests on the 3rd of August. Three weeks later the guests are still on a high talking about him and how he amazed them. I heard Shane was good but you really have to see him in action to believe how good he is. Even the guests that doubted him wer left gobsmacked. He's definitely not your average magician. Shane is a lovely person and brilliant to deal with. So relaxed and easy going but great fun too. I would definitely recommend booking his photographer karine. She captured some brilliant shots, mostly hilarious ones of shocked faces. I really hope to see Shane at an event or wedding again soon, he really made our day that bit extra special!

It was an absolute pleasure to deal with Shane from start to finish, his communication was fantastic and he was professional throughout, and got back to us immediately with the answers to any questions we had.

He performed at our Wedding at the end of July in Dun Laoghaire, and all of our guests absolutely loved it, they couldn't stop talking about what they had seen all night and it has been many a topic of conversation since the wedding.

Shane was very good at mixing with the wedding party, and ensuring as many people as possible got involved and saw him perform.
What we really liked was that he made a point to make sure that he made time for us, amongst our 70 or so guest to give us our own performance, and he wasn't in a rush to head off after the time that we booked him was up, which we really appreciated.

We feel it really brought the group together and helped to act as an icebreaker at the beginning of the ceremony.

We can't recommend him enough, if you are in any doubt don't hesitate, just book him ups, you wont regret it!

Thanks Shane for making our wedding reception so memorable

Unfortunately Shane had a death in the family a couple of days before my wedding and was unable to attend it himself. I found him so professional and helpful throughout an awful personal time for himself. He had already organized a backup magician before contacting me and made the change so easy. I would highly recommend him due to this professionalism.

I was between minds about booking Shane as he wasn't in our budget, but I am so glad I did, Shane was an absolute talking point on the day, and the days after. He got around to everyone and he blended in so well with each group. Shane was beyond professional throughout, from my first email inquiry right up until when he left us on the night. I would recommend anyone who is considering it to go for it, forget the photo booth, light up lights and extras that all add up and go with Shane, you won't regret it!

Hi Shane

I just wanted to say a massive thank you for entertaining our wedding guests on our wedding day. You were fantastic from start to finish. We came home from honeymoon a couple of days ago and in the last couple of days with all the analysis of the wedding your name tops everyone's list and a month on you still have people wondering!! You are such a great guy, non- intrusive with a perfect blend of professionalism and fun. We wanted someone who would entertain our guests but not put a halt to proceedings or delay the meal etc and you were the perfect choice. We had 370 guests at the wedding and you managed to get around on all of the different groups and I heard there were people following you around to see what you would come up with next! When we were looking for someone to entertain last year it was the reviews on here that made up my mind and if anyone is unsure I could 100% recommend Shane- he was the highlight and talking point of the day. I already know a couple of guests who have booked you for other events since the wedding which is testament to how brilliant you were!
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our day so special- we will be recommending you to everyone!

Everyone was talking about how amazing he was. We were in awe of him and a lovely guy as well. He just went through the wedding guests so discreetly and was in no way intrusive. Would highly recomend him. He was just brilliant!

I first saw Shane at an event in the 3Arena in Dublin about three or four years ago. When he first approached our table we were very wary as we didn't know what to expect but he absolutely amazed us all so much so that I kept his card and it was the best decision I ever made. Shane was the first Supplier we booked for our wedding. In fact as soon as we booked our date I checked to see if he was available and to my delight he was! When we arrived at our hotel reception after pictures he was all that our guests were talking about! They are still talking about him to this day!! Shane was extremely professional from the minute we booked him and always kept in contact in the run up to the wedding. He completely amazed our guests and moved from table to table in an unobtrusive manner. It really made our day to look down at our guests from the top table and see them all laughing and enjoying themselves! I would have no hesitation in recommending Shane to any couple considering booking him for their wedding. You won't be disappointed!!

I knew when it came to my only Brother's wedding that booking Shane would be the perfect gift. Shane was, as always, truly amazing. He is the quintessential professional, greeting guests with equal amounts of finesse and charm, fascinating each and every one he met with his incredible talent. He moved seamlessly from the drinks reception, through to dinner, with whispers of "he's amazing!" "have you seen him?" "you have to see him!" before arriving at the top table to astonish the bridal party. Even the most sceptical of quests were intrigued and amazed and everyone had a story or a memento. I cannot recommend Shane enough, there is no doubting Shane's brilliance, he is the perfect addition to anyone's perfect day.
Response from Shane Black Magician
Hi Aisling, thank you for your incredibly positive feedback on my performance. It's reviews like this that put a smile on my face and make all the blood, sweat and tears worth it. It was my pleasure to be a part of your brother's wedding and I hope to see you again soon. Take care, Shane

Shane recently performed at our wedding reception and literally blew our guests away with his amazing talent. We had been looking for something exciting and unique to entertain our quests during that "downtime" between the ceremony and the meal. Shane certainly ticked that box, everyone that witnessed his performance still cant stop talking about it! We really can't express how exciting and jaw-dropping it is to see such talent up close and in the flesh. It was spine tingling to witness such a performance that you only expect to see on TV!

We had a slight concern that this kind of entertainment might lead to a "carnival" atmosphere as guests might get over excited. However this was not the case. Considering the extent of his incredible talent, Shane is a very humble and down to earth guy. He moved through the reception seamlessly, blending in with the quests in a non-intrusive manner, always polite and charming.

We were lucky that the entire day went off really well, with an amazing band but its pretty clear from chatting to our guests that Shane's performance was the highlight of the day for many.

We really can't recommend the guy enough!
Response from Shane Black Magician
Wow Danny! Thanks for your incredibly kind words. I really appreciate you taking the time to write such a detailed and glowing review. It's feedback like this that makes it all worthwhile for me.

Shane performed at our wedding in The Millhouse, Slane, County Meath. Shane clearly loves what he does and this circulated around the room from the personal craft he showed both of us, right through to the 120 guests we had. He was the focal point of our reception and kept our guests entertained and guessing while we were getting our photos done.
Shane created a moment in time for us and for everybody involved in the wedding that we will never forget.
We would recommend Shane in a heartbeat.
Thanks for everything,

We hired Shane Black for our wedding and we are so glad that we did. Shane arrived at the beginning of the reception and mingled seamlessly with the guests. What he does is so impressive and was a great talking point for the evening. He brought groups of people together and we found it was an excellent way to help guests interact.

From the moment we met Shane he was very professional and is an impressive character, with our only regret being that we didn't book him for longer!

A great element to any event that people will be talking about for a long time afterwards.

Shane was an amazing part of our day and so easy to deal with. Our guests were astonished by his magic and he was a huge talking point for weeks after the wedding! Both myself and my husband agreed that Shane was an amazing entertainer and 100% worth having as part of our wedding day! We'd recommend him to any couples thinking of something different for entertainment.. the trick is don't let anyone in on the plan and enjoy the fantastic reactions from your guests! It's so worth seeing the looks on their faces.

When I say I cannot recommend Shane enough, that is an understatement. He entertained 130 people at the wedding pre-dinner reception. It was such a great start to the reception, everybody was talking about it for the rest of the day and on the second day. His talent in doing what he does is amazing. I have seen Shane entertain at different functions about 5 or six times now and he still leaves me in awe. Would highly recommend you book if you want a class act for your guests.

Having been to a few weddings myself I really wanted ours to be a bit different and not the cliche boring drinks reception so having seen Shane at events before I knew I had to book him for our wedding.

To be brutally honest my husband wasn't keen at all...he felt the cost was too much...but I can tell you now he has since ate his words and admits he is worth every single cent!!! I would actually pay double for the reaction he got from our guests. He is 100% money well spent without a doubt.

Our guests are still talking about Shane and trying to figure out how he does it, we actually got phone calls the next day asking about him, people were just baffled. He blew them away. He genuinely is amazing at what he does. He has a lovely manner about him dealing with guests of all ages young and old. Even the hotel manager said he will be strongly recommending him for future events. So do yourself a favour and book him you will not be disappointed :-)

So yet another (boring) wedding was on the horizon but this time is was my own. I didn't want my wedding to be yet 'another' wedding and dreading seeing my guests yawning. So off I went on a mission, trawling through weddings online trying to find not only the best entertainment but something that was a little different, a little exciting and a major wow factor. I came across Shane Black, his reviews had me a little excited and he has won best entertainer but the cost was working out the same as my wedding dress!! I took a leap of faith and booked him.

Shane was probably the one that I was concerned about the most on the day as I hadn't had the pleasure of seeing him in action before. Concerns soon drifted away he ended up being not only the best entertainer of the day but the most shocking and still 3 weeks on my guests are still talking about him. I'm just raging I wasn't part of the guests who got to enjoy his company a bit more !!

Our money well spent and please if booking I'd recommend Shane's own photographer also, she picked up reactions that I now able to keep for a lifetime.

Shane was the best decision of our whole wedding. Even from when we had a preview at our house we were blown away. He was at the wedding early and even stayed a bit late to accommodate us. He has some of the most amazing tricks and I truly believe he is magic! My guests are still talking about him to this day. There was a massive crowd around him all day. Every one was so impressed! it was like he was famous as many said "omg cant believe Shane Black is here!" Definitely worth every penny, Cannot say enough good things about this entertainment. Its something different and if you want that added extra to be different Shane Black is the way to go. Absolutely unbelievable. I cannot wait to get my video to look back at peoples reactions again. Do not hesitate in booking this guy! 10/10. Thank you Shane for a whopper of a day!

I knew then that I wanted to surprise my Sister and I booked Shane for her wedding. Yet again Shane did a superb job. He made sure he got around to every guest at the wedding and gave the Bride and Groom some extra special treats to enjoy. I could see nothing but enjoyment on everyones faces. Also I could see people going up to Shane and would say please come to our table next. Everyone was speaking very greatly of Shane and still are. He went above and beyond our expectations.

Shane didn't do any big performances, he just moved discreetly from small group to small group and got as many guests as possible involved. His tricks were really incredible as well - Derren Brown style! We felt he added so much to the day and was such a talking point.

We also had kids attending our wedding and he went out of his way to entertain them too. Shane also stayed on way beyond the previously agreed time, even after we insisted he was free to go! ????

He will definitely entertain and amaze your guests.

I would highly recommend Shane Black for entertainment for your wedding day.
He was very professional , organised and stress free as he worked the room himself.
A week later and I am still hearing more and more back from my guests about how fantastic he was.

We had Shane Black perform for 3 hours at our drinks reception the day of our wedding and it really enhanced the atmosphere and helped mingle our guests together. I have booked Shane on numerous occasions and would highly recommend him for any event - he really is amazing and so impressive. Everyone was blown away with his performance the day of our wedding and it remained a talking point with many of our guests for hours after he had left. You will be amazed!
I would also highly recommend hiring his photographer who managed to capture our guests at their most natural and are some of my favourite photographs from the day of the wedding.

Both myself & Sean could not recommend Shane Black enough, as we were amazed by his preformance & professionalism.
He entertained 100 guests to the highest level and has been the topic of conversation since our wedding.
Our guests were left totally amazed & dumbfounded by his tricks, as we both were too.
The only regret we have is not having him entertain us for longer, or posing for a photo together. ????
We will definitely be keeping an eye out and our diaries free, to catch one of Shane's performances in the future.
Thanks again Shane.

A true gent and a brilliant preformer..

He had a great sense of humour and made everyone feel relaxed . He did both tricks and mind reading and IT was unbelievable what he was able to do. When we were called in for our meal nobody wanted to go as everyone wanted more time with Shane . He even did a group piece for my whole bridal party that had us all laughing , amazed and intrigued . I'm so happy we booked Shane as he gave our day another special memory , I would recommend him to anyone , you won't be disappointed ????????

We had Shane for our wedding in Kells on 12th August this year. He was very professional and friendly at all times. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking to provide your guests with awe inspiring moments and to keep your guests entertained and talking about it for the night and wondering how he did his amazing magic! Even our guests giving a fake name did not throw him off the scent!!
He turned a deck of cards into a plaque with our names on it right in front of our eyes without touching our hands, just amazing. Price wise it seems expensive at first but take a look at his videos on you tube... And trust me it's the best money you'll ever spend on your wedding entertainment ????

We had previously met Shane at another wedding & a corporate event a few years ago! From those moments i knew we would have to have him perform at our wedding!! We asked Shane to perform at our drinks reception - he mingled with the crowd indoors & outdoors & made sure not to miss a table. It was the best thing we done, our guests were amazed! A week later & the conversation is still about the magic! Everybody loved it! E're still asking ourselves HOW!

To anyone thinking about booking Shane, you will not be disappointed! It was well worth it!

When we were planning our wedding, we were looking for something different to entertain our guests at the drinks reception. From the minute Shane came into the venue, he mingled through the crowd almost unnoticed in his sharp suit. However it wasn't long before word spread through the crowd about his amazing card tricks and illusions. He was polite and he worked his way through the crowd providing a couple minutes entertainment at each and leaving everyone amazed. Shane didn't leave us out either, coming up to our top table to show us a number of things before he signed off for the night. Since the wedding day people have been raving about what they saw. Though it might seem a bit expensive you will not be disappointed!

Shane was highly professional from the very start. I have been to weddings in the past where that pre reception gap was left with nothing but guests looking at their watches, I booked Shane to fill this gap and guests couldn't of been happier with lots of compliments and positive feedback leaving guests with their jaws dropped. What impressed me most was the letter he had written that morning about two guests at the wedding, how it all came together amazed me! Then myself, Stephen and his niece thinking we were holding a deck of cards and when we lifted our hands it was something else. Just amazing, I would highly recommend Shane for any event and he fit in perfectly at our wedding.

Although it's taken us a ridiculous amount of time to get round to reviewing Shane's performance at our wedding last year (and never normally write reviews at all!) we cannot recommend him highly enough. We took a bit of a punt on hiring him - we had not seen him perform, but had heard rave reviews from others - and we are so glad we did!

Shane was engaging and charming and put everyone at ease. He appealed to absolutely everyone and really tailored the performance to the audience. The performances themselves were absolutely incredibly and we still cannot fathom how any of the tricks were done. The guests were so impressed and have been talking about Shane ever since. The only downside to people being so enthralled and wanting to see more was that he didn't manage to get round all the tables during the meal, so not everyone saw him, but he certainly did his best!

Some guests from England were so impressed they wanted him to come to their son's wedding and would have booked him on the spot, but unsurprisingly he was already booked! Shane also stayed slightly later than agreed so that he could include more guests, and although we would happily have paid extra to have him stay all night unfortunately he had another booking! We can also say that Shane is a really honest guy - we had inadvertently sent him the deposit twice and he let us know and refunded us the extra money immediately when we wouldn't even have noticed we'd done it (wedding brains!).

Overall we are SO glad we booked Shane for our wedding - it made an amazing day even more special and we would definitely urge you to book him for yours!! His magic really is mind-blowing.
Response from Shane Black Magician
Hi Sophie, Thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed and wonderful review for me. I’m so pleased to hear my performance was well received and your guests are still talking about it. If I didn’t have another show that directly afterwards I would have happily stay on and get around to everyone for you. With groups constantly ebbing and flowing at the drinks reception, it can be challenging to keep track of who I’ve seen as people change groups, join other groups and so on. Hopefully I’ll have the opportunity to perform for you at another family event in the future. Again, thank you for your kind feedback, I really appreciate it. Wishing you and Martin the best for the future. Kind regards, Shane

Shane performed at my brother's wedding three years ago, and, having experienced his capabilities first hand, I had little trouble in convincing my fianc? that we simply had to secure his services for our recent wedding - and we were not disappointed!
From my initial contact with him right through to his departure from our wedding, Shane's professionalism was second to none. And the experience he provided our guests with still has them mystified and talking about it - his skills are mind boggling and you will be left scratching your head indefinitely trying to figure out how he's done it. We always knew where Shane was in the room as every minute or two shrieks of excitement and surprise would erupt at one of the tables!
Whatever the event, Shane can add something very special. I hope to book him again one day in the future and have no hesitation in recommending him.

We had a lot of different groups of people at the afters who didn't know each other so watching Shane perform provided them with a great way of mingling with each other. It really brought the whole crowd together and absolutely everyone loved his show....even Gr?inne!
To top it off Shane is also a really decent and nice fella. He was a pleasure to deal with in the run up to the wedding and on the evening itself.

Sceptics and those who tried to outwit him were stunned by what he could do. What made the day even more special was that when our friends and families were being seated for dinner we had a private show from Shane for 15 minutes that included a particular trick just for us.

I would not hesitate to recommend Shane comfortable in the knowledge that everyone who experiences his show will enjoy it.

Guests loved the entertainment and were extremely complimentary. We would highly recommend him to any couple that are looking for fantastic way to entertainment all their guests. Shane will blow your mind or read it ????

We had Shane preform at our drinks receptions and through out the meal at our wedding and everyone was amazed by his magic, we had alot of sceptics in our party but by the end Shane had converted them. Everyone kept telling me how amazing he was and what a great idea it was to have him there. He included as many people as possible in his preformance and brought everyone together, it was a real ice breaker, I could not recommend Shane highly enough and if you have an event get booking because I can guarentee you will not be disappointed

Shane performed in fantastic fashion for us at our drinks reception in early October & our guests are still talking about him & I have no doubt they will be this time next year!! I had seen Shane perform at a work event & could not believe my eyes, right then I knew he would be a massive hit at our wedding. Everything was so easy and straight forward with Shane, his site is great plus he responds quickly to any questions. As I had seen Shane before I though I would know all his tricks and mind games, but know my friends are still telling me about different tricks which I hadn't seen, Shane has a spectral range to suit all personalities & age groups in his repertoire!! Im really looking forward to seeing Shane perform again at another event & we are so glad we had him at our wedding - such a friendly & personable guy who really acts as another host, entertaining & amazing everyone as he goes. A huge thanks to you Shane & best of luck for the future :-) Liz & John

He was charming and funny, but most of all his magic was amazing. Everybody loved his tricks and illusions. We would highly recommend him.

We booked Shane Black for our wedding in July and we can't recommend him more highly to any other couple planning their big day. Shane performed during the cocktail hour before we all sat down to dinner. We got amazing feedback from guests - they were all blown away by the illusions and tricks he performed. It was great fun and people said the cocktail hour just seemed to fly by. Throughout the day guests were coming up to us saying how much they enjoyed the magician! It was a great talking point. We would highly recommend Shane. He is a lovely guy to deal with aswell.

Shane performed during the drinks reception at our wedding on June 26th. I am still hearing from guests about how amazing Shane was - people are still struggling to figure out how he does what he does - it seems magic does actually exist! My hubby and I also get to witness some of what Shane did and to say it was mind blowing was an understatement. Everyone was so well entertained and he was the talking point of the day.

We would like to thank Shane for being such a big part of our special day. If I was to do it again, I would have hired you for the full day and not just 3 hours! Money so well spent!

Shane was one of the main highlights of our day. The bridal party went off to get photos done when Shane had started. When we got back, we had a load of our guests coming up to us to say Shane was amazing, a brilliant entertainer. I loved that all our guests mingled together watching him - a real icebreaker for both sides of the family to interact! HIGHLY recommend! Our guests are still talking about Shane! (On a side note, my now husband was very wary of this type of entertainment but as soon as he saw Shane perform, he admitted, for once, that he got it wrong!!)

I can not recommend Shane highly enough!! Shane performed at our wedding in Kilkenny on 02May15. I contacted Shane initially to see if he was available for our pre-dinner drinks reception but he was already booked for another event. Instead he performed in between the courses of the meal and after the meal while the band was setting up. This actually worked out really well as it was a great talking point during the meal and it meant that there wasn't a lull in between the meal and the band as Shane was there to entertain!! Our Wedding party and our guests thoroughly enjoyed Shane's performance. Some of our guests even offered to pay Shane extra to stay on for longer!! Not only did he have everyone captivated, he also has a great way about him and is a true professional. A huge highlight of our Wedding day!

We had seen shane about 2 years go at a friends wedding and when we got engaged we had to make sure shane was part of our big day. We arrived to hotel on our big day and already people were commenting on shane doing tricks. He adds alot of atmosphere to the room. We found it helped people mingle that did not know each other it was a conversation starter for people. We had about 15 mins left before going to room for speeches and meal and shane sat down with myself and susan and had a few tricks for us. The one that blew our mind was were he asked susan to think of a holiday where she was on holidays with somebody that is not in the hotel at the wedding. Susan picked her friend showed me(PERSONS NAME WAS CAT)and then shane ripped up the paper gave to susan and asked were was the holiday susan had said santa ponsa and then asked what year susan said 2009. Shane then out a little envolpe stapled 20 times handed to susan. It was opened by myself and read inside "DONT ASK HOW I KNOW ABOUT YOYR HOLIDAY TO SANTA PONSA WHICH TOOK PLACE IN 2009 I JUST HOPE YOU AND CAT HAD A FANTASTIC TIME THERE" we could not believe it was amazing u really cant put a price on quality was really worth the fee AMAZING MIND BLOWING are just 2 words that can describe shane.

I booked Shane to perform at my wedding (pre-dinner time) having seen him at a work event previously. I wanted something different and to entertain people before the dinner reception. The feedback I got from the guests was that Shane was the best part of the wedding!!) He had everyone's attention, so much so they didn't want to go for their dinner! He entertained the entire crowd including the children, taking time to perform to individuals as well as the small groups. It was possibly the best part of the day and one no one will ever forget. The next day and the few weeks after the wedding I got so many calls and texts asking me for his details, that speaks for itself. Great entertainer, lovely person and I could not recommend him enough to people for their weddings or other events.

However as it was a Sunday I was in luck and along he came to demonstrate his amazing skills to the wedding guests at the drinks reception. This is an excellent time to have Shane there as everyone is relaxed and it is the perfect ice breaker for families and friends. It is something different from the norm and people are still talking about it. The tricks were amazing ... It definitely added a new dimension to our wedding and made the day in fact!

If you are wondering what entertainment would be best during your drinks reception then forget about music (that is what your band/DJ are for) and choose Shane Black. All our guests were blown away and are still talking about him. As illusionists/magician's go, Shane is the best we have ever seen. On top of this he is extremely professional, very approachable and delivers an astounding array of tricks/illusions. It is also a great ice breaker and talking point for the dinner table conversation. We can't recommend him enough.

Dear Shane,

Where do we start? I had seen some of your work through booking you for other functions in my work capacity and when I said to Aidan that I definitely knew what surprise entertainment I wanted for our guests on our wedding day he said I was mad!! But I raved on nonstop about how good you were he said ok we'll book him! I was thrilled. And SO excited as I knew our guests would never have seen anything like it before!

So the big day arrived and the big day ended and since, meeting people from very late that night and very early the next morning, every single person mentioned how gob-smacked they were with your performance. Shane you had grown men fearful of you and your tricks..... At one stage during the night I looked around and as you moved from one group to the next you laid in your wake faces of disbelief, excitement, tears of frustration and people with no words to explain what just happened to them. Words actually can't describe how amazing and unbelievable you and your act are!!!

You amazed and entertained our guests as I knew you would and to this date you still are the talking point of that night!! You stunned so many people and gave them an amazing time and the most wonderful memories for us.

Thank you so do much for adding a twist of the unknown and a sprinkling of magic and intrigue into our evening entertainment - our wedding was very different and special and you were a huge part of it. Your professionalism and dedication to your job makes you an excellent entertainer but also as a person you are a joy to deal with. Thank you so so much for taking the time and travelling to our wedding evening after already working up the country at another wedding!!

?To anyone considering hiring a magician for their party or event, I cannot recommend Shane Black highly enough. He is absolutely amazing. I contacted Shane when my partner and I were organizing our wedding party, and after I had carried out a lot of research into other acts, I was very intrigued as to what Shane could do. He promised something different and wow, did he deliver!

Our guests were blown away with his skills and they are still talking about him now. Shane seems to have been the most memorable part of our party, and that's saying something when you consider that our party was Las Vegas style with all the trimmings. Shane actually worked the whole theme to his advantage and was at home with the cards and tables around him as he worked his magic.

Shane's strengths are in his abilities and how he engages guests. I won't give away any details but Shane performed two signature effects in particular which just made everyone's hair stand on end. Shane is a terrific magician but also a really nice guy. He puts you at ease from the first moment of contact, he is very easy to deal with and very funny too. Don't bother with any other research into other acts, I've done that. Take my word for it, book Shane. You won't be disappointed. I just want to express my deepest thanks to Shane for his work and for making our party so memorable.?

"Thank you Shane for a fantastic evening's entertainment. You were completely mind blowing; my guests cannot stop talking about you. If you ever have a couple not sure if they should have you ? you get them to call me. I was not sure about your show and now think you were the best decision I made. Many thanks."

"Hey Shane, I just wanted to say a huge thank you for performing for our guests the night of our wedding. You were unbelievable and all our guests loved you and couldn't get enough of you. They are blaming you for our first dance being so late as no wanted to leave you in the bar! My dad was just completely taken aback by you I don't think he could believe his eyes, he has been talking about you ever since! People ask how the wedding was; he says Shane Black was amazing!
Also I wanted to say thank you so much for staying on way past your scheduled time, you are a pure professional and a pleasure to be around. Also we would like to thank you for waiting on Ryan and I to do our first dance and then taking us aside for our private magic performance. We really did appreciate that, as I would have been sick if I missed you.
Thanks again for everything Shane; you are a true gent and pure talent."

I only went back to work today and they were all still amazed 3 weeks later! And not to mention how much myself and Neil were left with our jaws open!"

Shane, what can I say that 100's of people haven't said before? You were an amazing bonus as entertainment at our Wedding. ALL of the guests were blown away. We saw magic in front of our very own eyes. It would have been good to get some reaction photos, they'd be priceless. And how can you pick memories out of people's heads?

Shane, anyone I have seen since the wedding has not stopped commenting on your entertainment that evening. I think you left a few people shell shocked! All along I was looking for something different for the entertainment in the evening rather than the usual and I found that in your performance, you are a great entertainer. Wishing you all the success in the future and I will be recommending you to others. Once again thank you so much for entertaining us on our Big Day.

Surprise surprise that there isn't a negative comment on your page and nor will there be, we got married on Aug 18th and had Shane do the entertainment at our reception whilst we were having our photographs done, this was by far and away one of the best choices we made in organising our wedding, when booking most things for our wedding we looked for recommendations, well if you are considering Shane you are lucky to have come across him and go no further, I only hope that my recommendation is a help to all involved as just a small thank you to Shane for making our special day even better. Thank you again Shane.

Many thanks for attending our wedding on the 15th of July. Everyone was enthralled and baffled with the performances. We are absolutely delighted that we booked you and won't hesitate to recommend you to any potential clients. It was great to have something unique at our wedding that got people talking and mingling. It's only now that we are back from our honeymoon that we are hearing some of the amazing things that you actually did on the day!
Thanks again for all your help and assistance, it was really lovely to meet you.

We had Shane at our wedding on 6th May 2011 and he was brilliant. We kept it a surprise for all our guests and they were all thrilled with the entertainment he provided, especially my mother who was astounded with him able to guess a school colleagues name totally at random! It was great for people at tables who didn't know each other that well, real ice breaker. He was great with everyone and kept all the tables talking, and they still are.
Thanks again Shane

We had Shane along as an entertainer to our wedding on St Patricks Day. Based on the feedback he is one of the most memorable parts of our wedding. Our guests loved him and you cannot ask for more than that. Our only regret was that we did not get to spend more time with him ourselves. It was not in our original budget but definitely our best investment. Amazing and mind bending, we?ll definitely find an excuse to see Shane again.

Thank you so much for doing such an incredible job at our drinks reception on New Year's Eve. Everyone is raving about you. Even the groom (who was very dubious about getting a magician- he was SO impressed- and you even got a mention in the speech!)

You were a true professional and really made the day special for us. So many people have asked me for your number as well so I am sure 2012 is going to be an incredibly successful year for you if you keep on doing what you are doing!

Thanks again, and best of luck!

I've been told by a number of people... ?the best money you've ever spent!?...
You changed the whole atmosphere of our wedding reception (in a great way!!). Our guests enjoyed every minute of your performance. You have a wonderful presence and manner and created a wow factor that will stick with both Yvonne and I, and all our guests for many years to come.
I will be highly recommending your performance to as many clients and friends for any functions that they may have in the future. I also will definitely be engaging your act in the future for any corporate events that may arise.
Shane, thanks for creating the atmosphere that we were looking for on our special day.
