What type magic is best for my party?
Mix and mingle magic, table magic or cabaret, as a magician Danny has entertained at hundreds of events and would be delighted to help make your party the one everyone remembers. His goal is to create a performance for everyone there to enjoy. Here’s a bit of what he does during the magic show:
Mix and Mingle Magic
If your guests are sitting or standing around with food or drink, this where Danny the magician will shine when he speaks to the guests in groups or pairs with up-close magic. He will perform magical tricks and dazzle with his spectacular mind-reading abilities…
Table Magic
This is a great opportunity to get the table chatting, cheering and laughing. All magic tricks are specifically designed for tables so that the audience can be captivated while be being right by the action. Every table gets a private show with custom magic between courses. Now how’s that for a special evening!
Carbaret Style
Danny will be performing up in the front of the whole audience. He does not need to have a stage or large area to perform. An entertaining mix of comedy mind reading and magic.
“ Danny’s magic added a fantastic touch to the party! It’s always great when entertainment leaves a lasting impression with not only myself but all of our party guests. Would 100% use Red Hat Magic again!”

“Very clever and jaw dropping entertainment from Danny at Red Hat Magic, our savvy sales team were scratching their heads and cheering at our Christmas party at Roseate Reading. Thank you Danny for being highly efficient with booking, comms, timekeeping and the great quality performance!“

Reviews
Loved having Danny at our wedding at the weekend - everyone was saying to use how great he was and the tricks we saw were impressed. He worked the room, making sure everyone was entertained. Danny even stayed a little longer to go around some people again - thank you!! Recommend and would book again!
Danny is engaging, fun, appropriate and exciting for all age groups! He is always there to help and is even willing to go above and beyond his role for a successful event.
We hired Danny for our company party and he was absolutely brilliant. He worked completely independently, moving around the room and visiting each group and made everyone feel included. His magic is out of this world – so engaging, fun, and genuinely impressive. All of my staff absolutely loved him and are still talking about his tricks. I highly recommend Danny for any event!
Red Hat Magic was mind-blowingly good at our event. From the very first trick, there were audible gasps of surprise all around the room — our guests at Soho House were utterly spellbound. His showmanship, charm, and panache elevated the entire evening, and he struck the perfect balance between awe-inspiring magic and warm, genuine interaction. He’s not only exceptionally talented but also an absolute delight to work with. We couldn’t have asked for better entertainment and would book him again in a heartbeat.
Danny's tricks were incredible. He was working at a charity event and we were told to check out his tricks by other impressed people. He did not disappoint! And my boyfriend and I have a lovely keepsake that will forever keep us asking "how did he do that!?".
We had the pleasure of having Danny at our event, and he was absolutely fantastic! ✨ Fun, engaging, and incredibly talented. everyone was amazed by his tricks and charming personality. He brought such great energy to the evening and was a real hit with our guests. Highly recommend for any event! 🎩💫
We booked Danny for our wedding weekend, and he was absolutely brilliant from start to finish! He had everyone laughing nonstop — our cheeks were aching by the end of it. His close-up tricks during the meal were hilarious and had everyone involved, and the evening show was the perfect mix of comedy and amazement. We couldn’t have asked for a better entertainer — a real highlight of the weekend!
Thanks Danny for the table magic at Shirley park golf club, it was great and set the right ambience for the Sunday lunch event. Thanks again Roy
My friend and I had the pleasure of being entertained by Danny yesterday (Sunday, 12 October 2025) during a Carvery Lunch at Shirley Park Golf Club. Ever the sceptic when it comes to magic, Danny's magic tricks were superb and highly entertaining, so I was very quicky won over. I would highly recommend Danny for any function. The Carvery was excellent too and the entertainment made the occasion special. Thank you Danny and Shirley Park Golf Club for booking you!
The guy tore the corner off my playing card with his teeth, swallowed it, then had me unwrap a sealed Wispa bar which was in his pocket, break the bar in half, and there was the torn corner of my card ... INSIDE THE CHOCOLATE BAR !!! Then he pulled my friend's wedding out of a boiled egg!! Utter sorcery!! Brilliant 10/10
Such a fantastic chap! Mingled with all of my guests, had amazing banter with my friends of all ages from 12 to 82 years old. I was blown away by the magic and every trick left my guests and I entertained and perplexed at the same time. I would highly recommend him for parties of all sizes! Definitely made the evening for so many people and I wouldn’t hesitate to re-book for my next party!
We had Red Hat Magic for a charity event last week and he was fabulous! Our guests loved his fantastic tricks, you could always tell where he was from the cheers and gasps across the room! Danny went above and beyond working in our welcome drinks as well as going around our tables. Thank you Danny for outstanding entertainment. Would highly recommend and book again. Thanks Danny - Victoria's Promise Charity
Well what can I say? I first saw Danny at my nieces wedding & he was so amazing, I wanted him for my own (2.9.2025) None of us were disappointed! I could never tire of Danny's previous magic, but he wowed us with some super new tricks that literally blows your mind. Our photos prove this - utter amazement in our guests faces! Danny is both a wizard and charming. Do not hesitate - Danny is your man for all things "how on earth does he do that?!" Thanks Danny. Jo & Jo xx
Danny was awesome. He hosted my small group at an obscure venue with multiple challenges which he sailed through to provide a truly curious, original and noteworthy performance. We all loved Danny with his kind and unimposing style. Would highly recommend. Danny gave us 1 hour of tricks and 1 hour of learning some tricks.
Danny was hired for our wedding in August. He was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. He exceeded our expectations and would definitely recommend him to those wanting a magician to entertain their guests at any event. He not only entertains your guests with magic but can add compering for that extra special touch. You won't be disappointed. Thanks Danny, you were brilliant 👏 👏 👏
Very nice magician!! Very exciting and made guests amazed !!!!!! Unique redhat brand!!!!!! I recommend him !!!
Danny is amazing! He's become a favourite at our works summer event and we're always on the look out for his red hat whenever we arrive. His magic is wonderful and he's genuinely left us all mind boggled on multiple occasions with some of his tricks. He's very funny and easy to have a laugh with and just a great all around entertainer. Looking forward to seeing him again next year! ✨🪄
We were lucky enough to have Danny at our housewarming lunch party where he performed lots of magic tricks to all our guests! It was great fun and very entertaining! I would highly recommend him, a true professional and a pleasure to deal with!!
Danny is a truly a master of Fire and Ice! He held us captivated and scratching our heads for hours after his show, trying to work out how his tricks worked. Humble, professional, kind and charming - Danny was a joy to communicate with in the lead up to the event, as well, and arrived with plenty of time to spare. If you want a reliable and skilled entertainer - Danny is the man for you!
Booked Danny for a works party… great entertainment and the whole team really enjoyed! Would highly recommend! Great magician!
I was granted a budget for a Team Building Event and wanted something a little more unusual and quirky. Having heard about Red Hat Magic from a friend, I reached out to Danny to discuss what he might be able to offer. From the initial point of contact, the level of service I received was exceptional. I threw in some wild ideas about how I would like a Team Event that would exemplify the values of my department and organisation - Elevate, Nurture, Aspire, Bespoke, Listen, Enable, along with Teamwork and the Power of Positive Thinking. Danny took all of this onboard and designed a fully bespoke 2-hour session tailored precisely to my specification. What resulted exceeded all of my expectations and was simply electrifying. I have worked in Health and Social Care for over 30 years and attended many team building events. None of these came close to generating the level of energy, motivation and outright fun of Danny's session.
Danny came and entertained us at home for a small, intimate , three generational family birthday. He was absolutely genius and, thanks to him, we made the most wonderful family memories today. I'd have no hesitation in recommending him.
Used Red Hat Magic for a family birthday, our guests ranged from 8 to 80 and everyone really enjoyed the magic. Danny was great, he roamed around the party entertaining and performing close up magic tricks with all our guests. Prior to our Party everything run smoothly, Danny was personable and took time to chat through what we wanted at our party. He delivered exactly what we wanted in a fun way. Thank you Danny.
We didn’t think we needed a magician at our wedding – until we met Danny from Red Hat Magic at a wedding open day. He instantly blew our minds! Danny entertained our guests during the drinks reception, and they absolutely loved him. We kept hearing throughout the day how incredible he was – everyone was amazed by his talent and quirkiness. He brought such a fun, unique energy to the day and created a real buzz during that part of the celebration. Honestly, booking him turned out to be one of the best decisions we made. A fantastic investment and a magical highlight of our wedding!
I absolutely loved this great Magician!!! He was really polite, professional, fun and great tricks that I am still intrigued by! Really nice! He brought such a nice vibe to the wedding!!! ✨✨✨✨
Danny did some fantastic magic for my husband's recent 60th Birthday Party catering for guests aged from 10 to 96 and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. Danny really helped to make the party go with a swing despite the unhelpful weather on the day. Definitely recommend. Thank you again.
Can't speak highly enough of Danny - he had everyone in awe! Everyone has been speaking about him afterwards - really helped to make a good evening great...
Absolutely amazing! Danny absolutely made our wedding day complete. If you’re debating hiring Danny then go for it - you won’t regret it! His charm and insane magical talent is still being spoken about days after our reception! 10/10
We had Danny entertain at our wedding reception and everything was brilliant, making our very special day even more memorable. We were all chatting about how relaxed it made us all during the time before our Wedding Breakfast. Red Hat Magic provided lots of magic, plenty of laughter & smiles. Even the magic sceptics were particularly impressed 👍🏻 We we are all still trying to figure out the last number trick + how an egg can produce such a surprise ✨ We would 100 % Recommend Danny
Thank you so much for making my son's 18yr birthday party so memorable. You kept everyone entertained and amazed by all your tricks and mind reading. I haven't stopped talking about you to my friends and colleagues and highly recommend you. Shelly and Abdul
Absolutely incredible !!.My friends and I were lucky enough to be entertained by Danny at our dinner table for my 60th Birthday .I was astonished by the magic he performed and was left speechless. The magic was performed close at hand at our table. I still have no explanation as to how he did the things he did other than to say it really was magic !. Im still shaking my head in disbelief as I’m writing this. Well done and thank you Danny !!
We had the absolute pleasure of watching Danny last night. He totally amazed us with every trick. Such a brilliant magician and very funny too. We will definitely be booking him again
Danny came to our captains party on Saturday. He was absolutely wonderful and we would definitely have him again for a future event and can highly recommend him . We had over 200 attendees and the common comment was that “ Danny was the best magician I have ever seen”
Danny left all the guest mesmerised with his magic in our private event. He is absolutely brilliant in his job. We highly recommend him Cheers
Danny made my Drive In lunch a real fun environment with great magic at close quarters. He was with us for over 4 hours and had people baffled with his magic. Thanks Danny for making my day special.
Danny came to entertain at a Xmas lunch party for 60 people and he put on a mesmerising performance that everyone loved. I pride myself on being eagle eyed but have absolutely no idea how he managed to make my eternity ring disappear and then reappear in the most unlikely of places. Danny was very professional, friendly and accommodating, and has already been requested for next year's event! I would totally recommend Danny to anyone seeking an entertainer for a private party or corporate event.
