“We’ve now had the pleasure of booking Matt twice for our company events, over a decade apart, and he absolutely blew our minds both times! Matt is incredibly talented, friendly, smiley and just brilliant at what he does. We had a standing business event with guests mingling throughout the evening, and he was fantastic at working the room, engaging with people and creating those magical moments that leave everyone wondering how on earth he did it! He really adds something special to an event, and our guests were amazed. If you’re looking for a magician who is not only exceptionally talented but also lovely to have around, we couldn’t recommend Matt highly enough. Absolutely fantastic – thank you, Matt! We’d happily book you again!”

“Matt Parro was absolutely incredible and made our wedding day even more memorable. He entertained our guests for an hour with the most mind-blowing illusions and magic I have ever seen. It was truly brilliant — minds were completely blown, and everyone was captivated from start to finish. What stood out even more than his amazing talent was the way Matt connected so naturally with people. He took the time to learn and use people’s names, was incredibly patient and tolerant, and made everyone feel involved and valued. His warm personality, lovely manner, and genuine connection with our guests created an atmosphere that was so special. The way he entertained was unlike anything I have experienced before — it wasn’t just magic, it was a personal experience full of wonder, laughter, and unforgettable moments. He has a rare ability to make people feel at ease while completely amazing them. We would highly recommend Matt to anyone looking for that true “wow factor” at their event. He was a highlight of our wedding day, and our guests are still talking about him!”
★★★★★
“Wow doesn’t even cut it! If you’re thinking about booking Matt, just book him! Matt entertained our guests (both adults and children) at our wedding last week and he was absolutely mind blowing incredible – not to mention super professional, friendly and approachable. We were absolutely blown away with his magic and as were our guests – all of whom commented and having been trying to decipher his magic since – but to no luck! I feel like I’m going to have to organise another event just so we can book Matt again! Maybe on a 10 year anniversary of the wedding?! Thank you so so so much Matt.”

“Incredibly blown away by the talents of Matt. When I first heard I was going to see a magician I thought of cheesy tricks and easy to spot sleight of hand. Matt is none of those. I’ve been lucky enough to watch him twice now and each time he’s left me speechless and shown off new content each time. I can only imagine this is what watching David Blaine live would feel like, but not socially awkward and a top personality to boot.”

Matt was professional, his delivery was smooth, and his tricks just blew us both away! His use of traditional close up magic blended with the use of technology was great, and the whole experience was amazing. It was a great show for just the two of us but I can see how it would work so well for larger groups too. I wholeheartedly recommend Matt, he is a very friendly & approachable guy who is always up for a laugh with the audience, and puts on a really engaging & enjoyable show. We were smiling and laughing from start to finish! Will definitely book Matt again in the future, and have already recommended him to several friends.”

“My wife and I decided to celebrate Boxing Day 2014 with our sons, their wives, four grandchildren, brother and sister in law from the Wirral at Buxted Park Hotel, having hired a private room for lunch and the afternoon. There we opened our Christmas presents and following lunch, I organised Matt Parro the magician to surprise everyone and to entertain them with his special magic. What a fabulous afternoon full of magical enchantment with everyone completely mesmerised by his tricks carried out in front of everyone’s eyes. He made sure that all the party participated including the grand children who became spellbound by what he was doing. Our five year old granddaughter was so taken by his card tricks that she found a pack of small cards at home and experimented herself with her parents and showed me what she was doing when I visited her over the festive season. Matt is clearly an outstanding magician which I have no hesitation in recommending. If you wish to see what kind of magic he is capable of visit his website: www.mattparro.com Eddi & Ellen Zoratti”
