Lewis Barlow is truly amazing. At the Dunkeld Hilton in Perthshire he provided a wonderful magic performance for an international client group where he worked the rooms with ease. His charm and wit kept the group amused and the spectacular magic, executed with enviable dexterity left the group completely amazed. A very professional performance and we will definitely use him again.

Lewis' ability to use magic to bring business messages to life proved a great success as part of a recent event for a major blue-chip client. His amazing close-up magic was used very effectively to illustrate themes relevant to the work place. Lewis is thoroughly recommended to bring issues to life in a different, educational and entertaining style.

We just wanted to write a quick email to offer our massive thanks and gratitude for your services at our wedding at Solsgirth House. Put quite simply, you are a master of what you do. The guests couldn't stop talking about you and you were a complete hit with our nephews and nieces. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for something different to liven up a special occasion.

May I offer my very humble thanks for your marvellous performance. Not knowing quite what to expect, I confidently speak for my gathered guests in saying that your delivery of mix and mingle magic was simply stunning. Everyone was absolutely captivated by your relaxed style and slick presentation. You are an extremely talented man and I wish you success in the pursuance of your wonderful ability.

Absolutely brilliant! I have never seen anybody perform magic so seamlessly. Your tricks were a real ice breaker which pulled the party together and got everybody talking. In fact, we're still talking about them in the office now! Thanks very much indeed for such a great performance.

Lewis Barlow, Magician Extraordinaire, was guest performer at the British Consulate in Trieste, Italy, as part of the Queen's Birthday celebrations. Among the 250 guests present were the British Consul General from Milan, the Italian Government representative in Trieste, politicians and local government officials. Everybody was greatly entertained. The amazing close-up magic that Lewis performed is a thing to see to be believed and even after seeing it, it's still hard to believe it.

Mesmerising, hypnotising, and totally amazing! Lewis had us gasping with surprise, holding our breath in anticipation and begging for more. A very talented, charming and entertaining young man.

Your performance at the British Chamber of Commerce for Italy's Christmas Lunch was simply wonderful, in all senses: you made very complex tricks look incredibly simple and we were left full of wonder and stupor. I have never seen such magic done under my very nose without having a clue how it was done. You added a lot to the atmosphere and success of the event. Many thanks. I look forward to seeing you perform again.

Thank you so much for the close up magic and the amazing parlour magic show. The guests at my Highland House Party Weekend were absolutely amazed and entertained. I will not hesitate to recommend you. The whole weekend was a fabulous success which I am still riding high on, and your act was the perfect way to start it all off.

Thank you for adding a touch of magic to our Wedding Day. We all enjoyed your entertaining and skillful close-up effects, delivered in a professional, humorous and engaging style. Altogether a very impressive show, highly recommended for anyone who wants to add a touch of class to their event. Needless to say, it has been a talking point ever since!

Amazing, incredible, unbelievable! Just a few of the adjectives used by my friends after your parlour show last week. Thanks for a tremendous night, Lewis. I would recommend you to anyone. Alternative entertainment of the highest quality. In this day and age of virtual reality I never really feel that magic works too well on TV but when you see it performed so well, in front of your eyes, it is truly a fantastic skill. You are a special talent and I wish you all the success in the world.

Thank you for your hugely entertaining performance at our birthday party - the customers loved you! - see you at Christmas!

Phenomenal Close-Hand Tricks from a Consummate Performer.
Close-hand magician Lewis Barlow is a likeable performer. Unlike Derren Brown and his ilk, Barlow creates a show where magic is not swamped by the overbearing personality of the performer, but rather one where magic takes the centre stage.
Audience participation is a painless, fun experience, and, for all his inherent amiability, Barlow throughout is a cool customer who literally fails to miss a trick. For anyone who wants jaw-dropping magic without the frills, Barlow is the man for you.

Close-up is the purest form of the conjuror's art, no sparkly outfits, top hats, tigers or dissapearing elephants, just a solo magician, sleight of hand, and a bemused, bewildered and appreciative audience, all ending in a huge round of applause. Lewis Barlow certainly receieved the latter and deservedly so, as he did an excellent job of baffling his audience with some great small-scale trickery. Barlow provides a great mixture of simplicity and style in his magic. His delivery is gentle and playful but without the bomblast - his tricks speak for themselves.

With this charming and hugely impressive show, magician Lewis Barlow is returning the genre to its roots; there's just him, a table, a briefcase and some truly extraordinary sleight of hand. There were no stunts or gimmicks to cover up a quick dip into his pocket; there was nothing up his sleeve, because he had them rolled up to his elbows. I just have no idea how he did it at all.

Barlow starts the hour by not claiming to be a comedian or perform any flashy illusions. Magicians are notorious liars, though, and his performance proves to be as jaw-droppingly impressive as any of David Copperfield's supersized shenanigans. Demonstrations of producing coins from thin air, locating a single card in pack and dealing a winning hand at poker are all effortlessly done, but never in a way that would incur the wrath of The Magic Circle. At the top of the hour Barlow claims that this is as close to real magic as it gets. What is easily dismissed as more of that magician falsity turns out to be true.
