If I could rate it higher than 5 stars, I would. Absolutely amazing and on par, arguably even better, than many magicians I have seen before. Bring him back!!!

Fantastic show - Highly recommended!

Always so blown away by Stu's shows. He's amazing. Will keep attending his shows over and over and never figure out how he does it.

Stuart is a master of his craft. A superb technician, and an extremely likeable personality. Left us literally gasping in awe.As for his coin matrix.. All I can say is ... WOW. A show beautifully finessed by Stuart and Tara.

Outstanding!

A really good show and performer.

Stuart is really one of the top stage " illusionists " and is equal to any I have see anywhere . I go to nearly all his shows and am always in awe of his skills. I feel however that some of his shows are a trifle repetitive

A friendly, youthful personality. Happy to talk to patrons in the bar after the show. Have recommended to my friends.
