🌟 Magical Moments with William – A 50th Birthday to Remember! 🌟 We had the absolute pleasure of having William the Magician perform at my 50th birthday celebration, and I can honestly say—he blew our minds! From the moment he arrived, William brought an incredible energy that instantly put everyone at ease. His warmth, charisma, and effortless charm made him feel like part of the party, not just a performer. But let’s talk about the magic—WOW. William’s skill is nothing short of extraordinary. Every trick was more astonishing than the last, leaving us gasping, laughing, and applauding in disbelief. His sleight of hand was flawless, his illusions were mesmerizing, and his ability to engage the crowd was masterful. Whether he was performing up close or captivating the whole room, he had us all completely spellbound. What truly set William apart was his comfort with the crowd—he read the room perfectly, tailored his performance to the vibe of the evening, and made everyone feel included and amazed. It wasn’t just a show; it was an experience we’ll be talking about for years to come. If you’re looking to add something truly unforgettable to your event, William is your magician. He turned a milestone birthday into a magical memory, and I couldn’t recommend him more highly!

I found William on a Google Search, and what a find! William far exceeded my expectations from the point of first contact to waving goodbye post event! We wanted something different for a very traditionally corporate event, we wanted to create a talking point, and we did just that with William's performances throughout the day. Every single person was left feeling very impressed with the performance they had watched. The card magic was amazing to witness, I am confident with a 5-star review for William. Worth every penny spent!

We first met William at a Wedding fayre and we’re so impressed by the tricks he was displaying we decided to book him for our own wedding . William provided a vast array of magic during our Wedding breakfast and he made sure he catered for the wide range of ages . Our favourite part of the entertainment was watching the reactions of our guests who were absolutely blown away by what they were seeing . My aunts reactions can be seen in Williams Facebook page ! William made sure he covered all the tables in the room and the feedback from guests included - amazing, unbelievable,how does he do that ? We wanted our Wedding day to be remembered by the guests and William easily cemented that ! Thank you for making our day so special and for being so courteous and professional in all of our interactions

I had never thought of having a magician at my wedding until my husband suggested it. I had seen some of William's work on videos but seeing it in person is something much more magical. William mingled with all of our guests giving them an experience they will never forget. We have had so many comments of how brilliant he was. His tricks are always so well thought out and relate to the day. We absolutely cannot stop talking about the day and would recommend him 100% for an extra touch at any event that will keep people talking for months. Thank you William !

After reading the excellent online reviews for William we opted to book him for our wedding on the 14/04/2023. From that first enquiry we knew we were in safe magical hands!! It was definitely the right decision. His warm sincere manner, reassured us we could trust him to perform at that most important of events…. our wedding….and so it proved to be. William’s presentation on the day was nothing short of excellent, his talent and magical skills, captivated, engaged and mesmerised all of the guests, to the point they were still commenting about it days after the event. William is a credit to his profession, so if are you considering a magician for a future event, look no further than William Poliet, you will not be disappointed. Many thanks William…….. you were the highlight of our special day.

I was so pleased that I’d chosen William as our entertainer for the works Christmas Party. From the get-go he was utterly professional; the booking process and communication throughout was faultless, and his fee was more than reasonable. William did stand out from the other magicians I looked at, and I’m confident I made the right choice. On the day, he was punctual and completely unobtrusive as he set up at the venue. Once he started mingling, I was impressed with how well he gauged the room, taking care to also go to people who were sitting alone. Our staff thoroughly enjoyed his tricks and it really pulled everyone together on the day. It was a definite highlight of our event. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending William to others for their corporate events, and would definitely hire him again for our own events. A class act!!

William was a delight to work with from start to finish. He worked hard to understand what we were looking for, he shared different ideas for how to get the most out of his amazing magic skills, on the day he delighted our guests from my 2 year old up to my parents and everyone in between. He was so kind and accommodating, thank you so much. If you’re thinking about hiring a magician for your wedding, party, or any other event, don’t look any further than William!

We booked William for our wedding day to entertain our guests during our cocktail hour at Hampton Manor Hotel in Solihull. He was absolutely brilliant! His performance was mesmerising and our guests have all commented on his skill. He made his way around all of our guests and made a special effort with the children too. The magic was personalised which we loved. William is great value for money and we will definitely book you again. Thank you for such a special contribution to our day.

William performed his magic at our NSPCC Ball held at the Coventry Building Society Arena in front of 450 guests. He was, quite simply, outstanding! We would recommend William to anyone presenting an event. William's close-up magic would be even better (if that's possible) at a small, intimate gathering.

I was lucky enough to have witnessed William's performance at my own retirement event. From an imaginative repertoire, William's laconic style captivated and held the party in thrall to his close-up magic.
Great showman, quite simply 'the icing on the cake'.

We had met and seen William at an event at Nailcote hall and booked him for our anniversary party. He asked for information about our guests and came prepared to entertain all ages from the little children to the adults. He is a very genial person and quickly engages with the audience in the background, on a personal level without interrupting the flow of the event. I would recommend William in a heartbeat. His professionalism, skill and art are simply incredible.

Myself and my wife Shellie hired William for our wedding at the start of May. Beforehand we met William and he showed us some up close magic and we were amazed. We knew he was the right magician for our wedding. On the day he was punctual and from start to finish amazed all our guests and left them and us wanting more. I can not recommend William enough. He is highly skilled and his tricks are mind blowing. Everybody is still talking and trying to work out how he did what he does! His prices are great and he was very friendly and approachable all day. Thank you for making our day even more magical!
