It’s incredibly easy; simply call 07956 263348 or send an email to Roberto@forzonimagic.com to check availability. We will get back to you within 24hrs. It would be helpful if you have some basic information ready such as the date or possible dates required, location, approximate guest numbers, what type of performance option you’d like (close-up, parlour or stage) and the type of event or occasion (private party, corporate event, wedding etc.). We will respond to your enquiry as soon as possible and certainly within 48hrs.

We then suggest how best to utilise Roberto’s performance to maximum effect and give you a price for the event. If you are happy with everything we can pencil the date, effectively holding the date (subject to a deposit being paid). A booking form will be sent to you and if you decide to go ahead with the booking, we finalise the details and make sure everything is to your requirements. Then a contract will be sent out to you, which needs to be signed & returned, once the signed contract is received by us, along with a deposit, the booking process complete. A few days before the event a courtesy email will be sent to make sure everything is in place. Full payment must be made prior to the event and can be paid by cheque, BACS or cash; if payment is to be made on the day of the event, it will need to be paid at the start of the evening and cheques will not be accepted from new clients on the day of the event.

Roberto’s close-up mix-and-mingle performances are flexible and could be performed at most venues; one factor that may need to be considered is ambient noise levels if there is a band or DJ at the venue and there is only the one room.

A Parlour type performance (e.g. small party guest numbers of between 5 and 20, all seated in one room) requires a small area for set uo table (which Roberto brings along) and space for equipment. For guest numbers over 50 people a raised platform would be preferred.

Roberto’s stage show ‘An Evening of Mystery’ is typically for larger events. The show requires a stage or raised platform, PA (amplified sound) system and basic lighting. Most venues have these already or equipment can be provided upon request.

The bride and groom are often keen for their guests to be entertained whilst photographs are being taken immediately after the wedding and as guests arrive at the reception. Once guests are seated, and depending upon the venue, it can be useful for Roberto to work the tables as guests are waiting their courses and between courses; this can also be beneficial to catering staff as it takes a little pressure off in terms of speed of service.

A mix of magic and mind-reading after dinner whilst coffee is being consumed is a fine time for guests to be entertained. Consideration is also given sometimes to extend the magic for evening guests arriving after dinner, and in this case a small area can be set aside, to be used in conjunction with a mix and-mingle approach depending on venue size, number of rooms and the music (band or DJ) playing.

There are so many people performing magic, both amateur and professionally, and some equally good as each other. The type of magic these people perform, and in fact the ‘tricks’ or effects, can be quite similar – but the way they are performed, the way you and your guests are engaged, and the subsequent experience you get from your magician really does depend upon the level of professionalism you hire.

Our advice is to hire the best you can afford, and someone who comes recommended. If you cannot afford to hire a professional magician and your event is really special, maybe leave the magic for that occasion rather than hire a poor magician.

There is a certain perception of magicians and what magicians do; this perception tends to veer on the negative side and can be seen as ‘tacky’ for guests even before the magician arrives. Sometimes it’s best not to say that there is a special guest there...

However Roberto refers to himself a mind-reader who focuses on contemporary adult magic with an emphasis on psychological magic. Simply, if you want to name it call it Mind-Reading.
