'I thought you were really good last night thanks for putting on a wee performance '
'WOW!
Leigh, you were absolutely brilliant!
The children said you were 'awesome' and that they 'really enjoyed it', and that you were 'really good with us' and 'really funny'.
Their favourite tricks were the bunny hat trick, the rope trick and the one where you turned shredded paper into a pair of pants!! They said they also really enjoyed learning all the magic tricks, especially the cup and ball and card tricks, and making balloon swords / animals.
Thank you Leigh - a fantastic experience for all of us!
We hope you enjoyed it too.x'
'I have passed all your details to my friends and they will pass the word .. Thanks so, so much you were great.. '
'Thanks very much Leigh for coming to Connors birthday party the kids had a great day'
'Thank you Leigh, the kids really loved you today'
'Thanks again the guests had a great time :-)'
'Thanks very much Leigh for donating your time to amuse the kids (and adults) at Westend Fun Day today. We really appreciated it and the kids loved it!'
'Your magic is amazing if anyone is looking for a gr8 magician this is your man. I was completely amazed and what a lovely guy x'
This is some of the feedback I have received over just the last few weeks! I appreciate all feedback and I am truly touched when I am paid a compliment or when I'm told I made a difference at someone's party/event. But aside from everything else, I was paid my biggest compliment a couple of weeks ago. I had been performing at a stage show for a group of lively, local children and it was a good wee show.
Now, I've been called 'Scotland's Magic Sensation' by The Sun, and I've been told that I have literally made people's days, both kids and adults, and I have made some apparently 'miserable' people smile wide, (is this sounding a little self-indulgent?... Oh well) but on that day I finished my show, packed up and stopped to talk to some of the parents before I left, and I turned round to see that four or five of the children were standing where I had just performed, playing at 'Magic Leigh'! I loved it. They could have just pretended to be magicians, but they were specifically being 'Magic Leigh' and 'Leigh The Magician'.
I may never have my own action figure, but that'll do for me. :-)

Charity...
I love meeting new people, and I love knowing that I can help out. It is for these reasons that I am always happy to help out at charity events, and local fundraisers.
This weekend saw me in Dunoon performing at 'Bowling For A Cure'; a 24 hour bowl-a-thon which raised an amazing amount of money from the local community for Cancer Research UK.
Although I was not performing for anywhere near the full 24 hours, I did do a massive amount of magic, largely due to the fact that the children in attendance would not leave me alone... It was all really great fun though, and the adults seemed to enjoy the magic I had prepared for them too. I even got a lift home in a police car... as a favour, not a punishment!
So, if you are having a charity event or something similar, get in touch. If not with me, then get in touch with any entertainers in your local area. It is a great, extra addition for your event and attending audience but it is also a great way for the performer, whether he or she is a magician, comedian, singer, juggler or whatever, to get their name out and let the people see what they can do. I can't promise I will always be available to attend your event, but I can promise I will do my best to be there... Just ask! And when event's are as much fun as this weekends was, just try and stop me from being there! ;-)
