We booked Shane for our wedding on the 17/11/2018. Simply put, it was without doubt the best decision we made. Finding words to explain how incredible his performance was is proving to be difficult. They say a picture paints a thousand words; well I can still vividly picture the look of amazement on our guest’s faces and also hear the shouts and gasps of disbelief as he moved through the room performing a huge variety of magic and mind reading . We opted for the 4hr performance; this allowed Shane time with our guests at the drinks reception prior to the meal, and then further time during and after the meal. We had 210 guests in total, and amazingly everyone got to witness his talent. During the meal you can also request particular tables for time to be focused on such as those of close family/friends. Shane is an absolute gentleman, friendly, funny and very professional. An example which confirms all was when one of our guests embarrassingly mistook him for a hotel manager and asked him for some gravy! His reply was ‘leave it with me’, and then discreetly passed the message onto the hotel staff. Such was the quality of his magic I was nearly expecting him to conjure up a boat of gravy from somewhere! Throughout the evening each and every guest we were speaking to commented on how much they enjoyed the magic and how they had never seen anything like it. Even at the end of the night and the days after, our guests were still raving about it. I would like to make a point of emphasizing how high level Shane’s magic and mentalist work are. His work is multiples classes above other magicians I have seen at functions. The things he can do simply blow your mind, leave you awestruck, questioning reality and wondering how is that even possible? I highly doubt there is anyone else out there that even comes close to his level. My final advice would be, put less emphasis on selfie mirrors, sweet carts, doughnut walls etc. Invest your money in booking a performance from Shane, I assure you it will be the best decision you make. It will make your wedding day stand apart from all others and also make it a day you and your guests will never forget. Thank you again Shane. Darren + Aine
Response from Shane Black Magician
Wow, thank you so much for the wonderfully detailed review Darren & Aine. I'm so pleased you felt booking me was the best decision you made - that means the world to me. It was my pleasure to a part of your wedding, and I'm delighted I that I was able to help you to create a memorable day. I am constantly working on innovative ways to improve my act, and it's feedback like this that lets me know I'm on the right track and makes it all the more rewarding - so thank you. Wishing you both all the best for the future, and I hope to see you again soon. P.S. I better start working on my gravy conjuring skills as I'm getting confused with hotel staff a lot recently!

Shane absolutely blew our guests away during our wedding reception - people are still talking about what they saw and trying to figure out how it was possible. He'd prepared a special trick for us as the wedding couple but made his way round lots of our guests - and impressed everyone, including lots of people who would have been pessimistic about a mentalist entertainer - the photos of he reactions are just great - I only wish we'd had Shane for longer! Thanks so much Shane - would 100% recommend you for wedding entertainment.

Shane made an absolutely fantastic entertainment addition to our special day. We saw him at our friends wedding and thought wouldn't it be amazing to have him perform at our wedding and he did not disappoint. From start to finish he wow'd and entertained our guests with his mind reading, card tricks and much more. The reaction photos were brilliant and we were so happy we booked him as he made our day extra special. Great service, value and entertainment throughout the day. We would definitely recommend Shane. Our guests are still talking about him. Fantastic. Thanks a mill, Enda & Aisling

Shane was a fantastic addition to our wedding day - a real highlight. Family and friends are still mentioning him to us three months later, and no one has yet worked out how he performed any of the tricks! He was a delight to deal with and the addition of his own photographer was the icing on the cake as this resulted in brilliant reaction shots of our guests at a time when the wedding photographer was busy looking after bride and groom... a real bonus. We opted for the essential package after discussing the options with Shane - he had great insight and advice on what would work best for the day we had in mind along with our venue. We could not recommend Shane more highly, and would love to see him again at a future event!
Response from Shane Black Magician
Hi Orla. It was a pleasure to be a part of your wedding. Thank you for the kind words and for taking the time to share your feedback here.

Shane made an appearance at my husbands workplace and left my husband absolutely speechless. With that being said, I wanted to invite Shane to preform at our wedding and mingle with our guests. Shane has made our wedding day memorable for us and especially our guests. Our guests still talk about their experience and try to figure out his tricks but have no luck. I cannot recommend Shane enough for his talent, charm and professionalism throughout. If you want an amazing experience for yourself, employees family or guests I cant recommend him enough. Many thanks Shane !!
Response from Shane Black Magician
Hi Simida, thank you for sharing your wonderful feedback here. I'm so glad we were able to make it work in the end, and your guests are still talking about your wedding. It was a pleasure dealing with you and I hope to see you and Joshua again at another event soon. Take care, Shane

We had the absolute pleasure of Shane Black performing for both ourselves and our guests at our wedding! We saw Shane at a wedding a number of years back and agreed that if we ever got married he would most definitely be at ours! I cannot even begin to explain how amazing he made our day, and the fact that our guests are still talking about him. We imagined him to be great again, but I will go as far as to say he was phenomenal. He included everyone, old and young and he captured moments for us in picture that we can look back on and be reminded of. If you're looking for 'awe and wonder' and top class entertainment, then look no further than Shane Black. You won't be sorry
Response from Shane Black Magician
Thank you for the glowing review, Sharon. It was a pleasure to be part of your wedding. Your friends and family were a joy to perform for. Wishing you both every happiness for the future, Shane

I honestly don't know where to begin with how incredible Shane is. When we started the planning process we knew we wanted some sort of entertainment for our guests and it didn't take long at all to decide on reaching out to Shane. His professionalism and ease to work with through the booking process was fantastic. Every guest that got to see Shane or interact with him is raving about him, the things he can do and knows, its just mind blowing!!!!! Hearing all the stories back is just giving us such joy. Our genuine only regret is not booking Shane for the full day! Honestly if you are having any doubts on the packages, you will not regret booking Shane for the full event. Absolutely amazing!!!! Thanks Shane for everything.
Response from Shane Black Magician
Thank you both so much for this incredible review, Catherine & Denis. It means a lot, and it was a genuine pleasure to play a part in making the day memorable for you and your guests. Hope to see you both again soon and wishing you all the best for the future, Shane.

We had the pleasure of having Shane for our wedding entertainment during the drinks reception at Ballymagarvey Village, Co Meath. He was absolutely fantastic and blew everyone away with his tricks. In fact, I know that many of my guests are looking to book Shane for their upcoming events. When I booked Shane, I got the package which included a photographer and entrance music for the dinner entrance which sounded amazing. The photos we got are great fun and shows people having such a great time, in fact I believe we wouldn’t have captured these guests if we didn’t book the photographer along with shane so thank you. I cannot recommend Shane enough! Believe the hype, he is definitely worth getting.
Response from Shane Black Magician
Thank you so much for such kind words, Michelle. I'm delighted to have been part of your wedding, and I'll pass on your feedback to my photographer also. Wishing you and Conor all the best, and hope to see you both again soon.

When we first started planning the wedding, a magician was definitely something we both wanted. Due to the overall cost of a wedding, we were on the fence about having one, but in the end, after having Shane recommended to us and doing some online research into him, it was simply a must to have him there, and we couldn’t have been more right to do so. He is incredibly talented with his craft and he convinced some non believers that magic might actually be real. He’s an incredibly professional and overall lovely person and has kept in contact with us and kept us in the loop with regards to when photos were going to be available, (having his own photographer is a fantastic idea and seeing the photos has really given us belly laughs this evening), I couldn’t recommend Shane enough, and for any soon to be wed couples, Shane will really make your day incredibly special for yourselves and all your guests.
Response from Shane Black Magician
Hey Sam & Jenny! Thank you for the kind words and for taking the time to share your feedback here. It was a pleasure to be a part of your wedding and I'm delighted you got a kick out of the reaction photos. I'll be sure to pass on your comments to my photographer.

We had originally heard of Shane from my brother in law and how he had performed all manner of tricks and been a big hit at a wedding he had attended. We wanted to entertain our guests during a drinks reception after the ceremony while we were off grabbing some photos. I still haven't heard the end of praise and stories from Shane's performance during this time. A particular highlight of the day not only for our guests but ourselves as well. Shane performed a trick for my wife and I at the end and it still cannot even begin to work out how it is even possible. A definite hit on the day with everyone and so glad we went with Shane on the day.

I honestly just can't recommend Shane highly enough. We booked him just a week before our wedding and it was definitely the best decision we ever made. We just can't even put into words how amazing he is. He is just absolutely phenomenal. He will blow your mind and leave your guests talking about how brilliant he is. I don't know how he does it but he is just spectacular. I think on his website it says illusionist/magician but he has to be psychic too. It is not just me that said that but loads of our guests too. We had him for our reception for 2 hours and honestly I wish we had him from the end of the meal to start of the band too. If you are looking for something different and a mind blowing experience just book Shane. I would definitely double book him if you can and especially if you have a large wedding. I was so disappointed that a few guests did not get to experience Shane's amazing talent. I am trying to convince other people to book him for communions and 21st's as I would absolutely love to see him again. He is also an absolute gentleman. All I can say is don't think twice about booking him. He is worth every penny and more. I hope we have the pleasure of seeing him in action again soon cos he is just super talented.
Response from Shane Black Magician
Louise, I'm thrilled to read this review. It means the world that you thought my act was the best decision you made for your wedding. Thank you for your kind words about me and my act.

Couldn’t recommend Shane Black highly enough. He was the perfect pre-dinner entertainment everyone was raving about how good he was. We knew he would be good from how freaked out we were from the demo at our first meeting via zoom but what he delivered on the day was beyond our expectations. I still have no idea how he does what he does but it’s incredible! He created such a buzz and excitement that carried through the whole day. The best thing I can say is I heard one or two people say the next day how disappointed they were to have missed him which shows how much people enjoyed it!!

Apart from myself and my husband, Shane was the absolute star of the show. He showed up and got stuck in with our guests immediately and they loved every minute! Absolutely engaging and friendly. I would highly recommend him, not just for weddings, he's astounding and to top it off, he's a really nice guy. Brilliant ice breaker for situations where not everyone knows each other. 3 months on and we're still getting compliments on his performance. He brings a sparkle and joy with him along with a great photographer! Well worth every penny. Made us feel so special. Truly incredible.

When we couldn't have live music at our wedding due to Covid rules, we knew we still wanted to have some kind of entertainment for guests to keep people having fun after dinner. Shane Black was amazing! Honestly better than having a band anyway! He visited tables during dinner to do up close tricks, and everyone's mind was blown. After dinner he did a stand up bit for the whole room, and it was the perfect way to get everyone laughing and keep the energy going. I really couldn't recommend him enough if you're looking for something unique that will keep people talking! Thank you Shane!

I had first heard about Shane years ago from my sister who had been at a wedding he was performing at and I said then whenever I get married I’m going to get him. One of the first things I did when we got engaged a year and a half ago was book Shane. We had our wedding 17th July 2021 and I can tell you he did not disappoint! From the minute he arrived he had everyone amazed! Everyone is still talking about him. One of the most talked about parts of our wedding was Shane’s performance he stayed for our arrival drinks and got around to everyone. Apart from his amazing talent, Shane was an absolute gentleman. Emails back and forth throughout the year even during covid we felt so reassured he was going to be brilliant! A few of our engaged family and friends are already thinking about booking him for their wedding. We really hope to see him again in the future. Thanks again Shane! Emer & Joe

Shane is honestly worth his weight in gold to have at your wedding! We could never have anticipated how amazing a decision including Shane would be. We went from an original guest list of 250 down to 40 people and wanted an entertainment option that would suit the crowd size and give our guests a different experience. Shane was so easy to deal with and was able to suggest appropriate timings and packages. We went for the arrivals option and when we arrived after our photos, the atmosphere in the room was incredible - everybody was mesmerised by Shane and anyone who arrived late was immediately pulled over to Shane by the other guests to witness him for themselves. It was the best ice-breaker and the stories from the act were still going at breakfast the following morning. Shane has a lovely manner of blending in with the guests and is a really genuine and likeable person! If you are worried a magician might be loud or flamboyant, the opposite could not be more true of Shane - a professional in every respect! We still don't have a clue how he does what he does - we can only hope he uses his powers for good when he's not entertaining. :)
Response from Shane Black Magician
Wow Eimear! Thank you for your incredibly kind words, and for having me be a part of your wedding - your family and friends were a lot of fun to perform for.

Absolutely amazing... We booked Shane as we had a wedding during COVID. A family wedding with friends joining us later as it was a small number of guests (36) we felt after dinner the atmosphere might die down so that's how we booked Shane and it was the best decision. Everyone was stunned how he does what he does... All of us were left completely stunned and amazed!!! Adults and teenagers loved the show... We had younger children / teenagers at the wedding which Shane was brilliant with very patient and spent time with them afterwards explaining and showing them tricks they were all completely in awe!!! I would 100% recommend Shane and we really hope we get to see his show again... Worth every penny!!

we booked Shane for our dinner entertainment and oh my goodness, he was the talk of all of the guests for the whole weekend. He is incredible at what he does, extremely professional and has a great way with the guests, giving as much time as possible to each person he engages with. We could not recommend Shane enough, it was such a conversation starter between our guests and they could not get over him. We are still sitting here trying to figure out how he does what he does, but that is the whole magic of it all! Absolutely amazing, 10 out of 10 from start to finish!

We booked Shane as we were looking for something that would get our guests mingling and talking to each other during the drinks reception (as we've lived in a lot of different places a lot of our guests didn't know many/any of the others). Shane did a great job and blew a few minds in the process. A couple of our most skeptical guests are still driving themselves mad trying to work out how he can do what he does -we even had one guest report a couple of sleepless nights after seeing him. We found the easiest thing to do was to ask no questions and just allow ourselves to be amazed! We weren't exactly sure what we were letting ourselves in for as we hadn't seen anything like this at a wedding (or any event) before, safe to say that Shane far exceeded our expectations. We were pleased that all our guests got to see him in action, he made a big effort to be sure that he got around to everybody before he finished up. We would highly recommend him for any event.

Shane was very easy to deal with and always professional. We would highly recommend booking Shane for your wedding. It was unlike anything we had ever seen and our family and friends are still talking about him. Didn’t know exactly what to expect but was above what we could have ever imagined. Unbelievable!

We booked Shane over email as we live in Australia and had lots of recommendations for him by a few friends. We where looking for a bit of entertainment for guests after the ceremony while we where away getting pictures taken, also thought it was a great idea to have him go around the tables when guests had been seated. Without a doubt Shane is AMAZING at what he does. Having never actually met Shane until the wedding day we where a bit nervous as to what to expect but we were blown away with his professionalism and manor. He came out and introduced himself to us and to let us know he was there and getting started. All of our guests loved him and raved about him for weeks after. We thought we wouldn’t get much time to see him but he actually pulled us away for a little private show while guests where getting seated for dinner. It was so good and we really appreciated it as we truly got to see what he could do and we couldn’t believe our eyes. We both can not recommend Shane enough he really set the mood for the day and blew everyone’s mind. We had guests asking if we gave him information about them, they just couldn’t believe the stuff he knew. He is a top class magician and worth every penny. If your looking for a magician for your wedding 100% book Shane you won’t be disappointed and you’ll walk away wondering how he did it. Thanks Shane Amy and Nicky

Everybody is commenting on how they were blown away by what he could do, even the more skeptical of the crowd. Shane was definitely the highlight of the day for our guests. Initially when I suggested hiring Shane, John was not keen (being a skeptic himeself!!) but thanks to the special show Shane but on for him he has admitted for the first time in our marriage that I was right!!! Thank you Shane, we wish you all the best in the future. To anybody looking for wedding entertainment that has the WOW factor, Shane is your man!

Shane’s act was one of the highlights of the day for us, and our guests. His talent is fascinating and entertaining in equal measure. Long after he left, we were still asking ourselves, “How did he do that?” Another point worth making is that he stayed around for a while answering questions from the kids who were mesmerised by what they saw. Generous touch.

Having Shane Black at our wedding was the absolute highlight for so many people. Everybody commented on his performance. People were mesmerized. I was delighted hearing and watching people's reactions. We are in our mid forties and a lot of our relatives especially our parents, uncles and aunts are in the 60-70 age bracket, and we knew that a-lot of them wouldn't be around for the disco so it was really important for us that they were entertained and had something to talk about during the day. I'm so glad that I choose Shane for this purpose, my husband, father-in-law and brother-in-law wouldn't be great at splashing the cash but they were so impressed with Shane that for the first time in twelve years I heard them say in agreement well boy-jasus he was money well spent. That said it all for me.

We had Shane perform at the drinks reception of our wedding. - How my show added to your wedding, to help break the ice and pass time for the guests, between the ceremony and dinner, while we were having photos taken. We left booking Shane until very late. He had another gig that day on but was flexible on both timing and price to give us as much of a show as he could, before he had to leave for the next one. When we arrived at the reception about an hour after Shane had started, we had friends and family walking around a little shell-shocked and demanding to know what personal information we had shared with Shane in advance (we hadn't). People had no idea how he knew what he knew (and neither do we). Shane made a point of involving us both in a couple of tricks, so that we got to enjoy the show as well as the guests. Due to the limited amount of time, he also made a point of performing to larger groups of guests, so as many people as possible got to see him. We particularly liked Shane's trick of asking a guest about a holiday, but already having the details written in a sealed envelope. Shane was a pleasure to deal with and the show was excellent. A great way to keep the crowd entertained.

We had Shane perfom at our wedding on New Years Eve 2018. We had never seen Shane perform before and had booked him purely on reviews that we had read and seen some of the reaction photos. We wanted some pre-dinner entertainment and was seeking something a bit different to the norm. We were a little apprehensive in the lead up to the day as we weren't sure how the show would go and if it would be a hit. We needed have worried it was AMAZING! It was the best decision to book Shane!! On the day of the wedding, the next day and since our friends and family have not stopped talking about his performance. They were blown away by his skills and it was a great ice breaker at the wedding and a great way to bring our guests together. Shane was very professional, and appeared really enthusiastic to give a great performance. He definitely stayed over the allocated time that we had agreed and got around to all tables. We booked his assistant photographer also and have since got the reaction photos posted to us, over 200 photos which are so hilarious and capture the brilliant reactions of our guests. If you are considering booking Shane for your wedding i would strongly advise that you do, you can't go wrong and everyone will love it from little children to older guests and it's a great way to bring groups together from across both your families.

I heard Shane was good but you really have to see him in action to believe how good he is. Even the guests that doubted him wer left gobsmacked. He’s definitely not your average magician. Shane is a lovely person and brilliant to deal with. So relaxed and easy going but great fun too. I would definitely recommend booking his photographer karine. She captured some brilliant shots, mostly hilarious ones of shocked faces. I really hope to see Shane at an event or wedding again soon, he really made our day that bit extra special!

Hi Shane I just wanted to say a massive thank you for entertaining our wedding guests on our wedding day. You were fantastic from start to finish. We came home from honeymoon a couple of days ago and in the last couple of days with all the analysis of the wedding your name tops everyone’s list and a month on you still have people wondering!! You are such a great guy, non- intrusive with a perfect blend of professionalism and fun. We wanted someone who would entertain our guests but not put a halt to proceedings or delay the meal etc and you were the perfect choice. We had 370 guests at the wedding and you managed to get around on all of the different groups and I heard there were people following you around to see what you would come up with next! When we were looking for someone to entertain last year it was the reviews on here that made up my mind and if anyone is unsure I could 100% recommend Shane- he was the highlight and talking point of the day. I already know a couple of guests who have booked you for other events since the wedding which is testament to how brilliant you were! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our day so special- we will be recommending you to everyone! Andrea and Keith

I first saw Shane at an event in the 3Arena in Dublin about three or four years ago. When he first approached our table we were very wary as we didn't know what to expect but he absolutely amazed us all so much so that I kept his card and it was the best decision I ever made. Shane was the first Supplier we booked for our wedding. In fact as soon as we booked our date I checked to see if he was available and to my delight he was! When we arrived at our hotel reception after pictures he was all that our guests were talking about! They are still talking about him to this day!! Shane was extremely professional from the minute we booked him and always kept in contact in the run up to the wedding. He completely amazed our guests and moved from table to table in an unobtrusive manner. It really made our day to look down at our guests from the top table and see them all laughing and enjoying themselves! I would have no hesitation in recommending Shane to any couple considering booking him for their wedding. You won't be disappointed!!

Hi Dairine, thank you so much for your detailed review and recommendation. I'm delighted my performance made a lasting impression on your guests. Wishing you and Chris all the best, Shane.

I knew when it came to my only Brother's wedding that booking Shane would be the perfect gift. Shane was, as always, truly amazing. He is the quintessential professional, greeting guests with equal amounts of finesse and charm, fascinating each and every one he met with his incredible talent. He moved seamlessly from the drinks reception, through to dinner, with whispers of "he's amazing!" "have you seen him?" "you have to see him!" before arriving at the top table to astonish the bridal party. Even the most sceptical of quests were intrigued and amazed and everyone had a story or a memento. I cannot recommend Shane enough, there is no doubting Shane's brilliance, he is the perfect addition to anyone's perfect day.
Response from Shane Black Magician
Hi Aisling, thank you for your incredibly positive feedback on my performance. It's reviews like this that put a smile on my face and make all the blood, sweat and tears worth it. It was my pleasure to be a part of your brother's wedding and I hope to see you again soon. Take care, Shane

Shane recently performed at our wedding reception and literally blew our guests away with his amazing talent. We had been looking for something exciting and unique to entertain our quests during that "downtime" between the ceremony and the meal. Shane certainly ticked that box, everyone that witnessed his performance still cant stop talking about it! We really can't express how exciting and jaw-dropping it is to see such talent up close and in the flesh. It was spine tingling to witness such a performance that you only expect to see on TV! We had a slight concern that this kind of entertainment might lead to a "carnival" atmosphere as guests might get over excited. However this was not the case. Considering the extent of his incredible talent, Shane is a very humble and down to earth guy. He moved through the reception seamlessly, blending in with the quests in a non-intrusive manner, always polite and charming. We were lucky that the entire day went off really well, with an amazing band but its pretty clear from chatting to our guests that Shane's performance was the highlight of the day for many. We really can't recommend the guy enough!
Response from Shane Black Magician
Wow Danny! Thanks for your incredibly kind words. I really appreciate you taking the time to write such a detailed and glowing review. It's feedback like this that makes it all worthwhile for me.

Shane performed at our wedding in The Millhouse, Slane, County Meath. Shane clearly loves what he does and this circulated around the room from the personal craft he showed both of us, right through to the 120 guests we had. He was the focal point of our reception and kept our guests entertained and guessing while we were getting our photos done. Shane created a moment in time for us and for everybody involved in the wedding that we will never forget. We would recommend Shane in a heartbeat. Thanks for everything, We hope to cross your path again, Stephen & Denise

Shane was an amazing part of our day and so easy to deal with. Our guests were astonished by his magic and he was a huge talking point for weeks after the wedding! Both myself and my husband agreed that Shane was an amazing entertainer and 100% worth having as part of our wedding day! We'd recommend him to any couples thinking of something different for entertainment.. the trick is don't let anyone in on the plan and enjoy the fantastic reactions from your guests! It's so worth seeing the looks on their faces.

When I say I cannot recommend Shane enough, that is an understatement. He entertained 130 people at the wedding pre-dinner reception. It was such a great start to the reception, everybody was talking about it for the rest of the day and on the second day. His talent in doing what he does is amazing. I have seen Shane entertain at different functions about 5 or six times now and he still leaves me in awe. Would highly recommend you book if you want a class act for your guests.

Having been to a few weddings myself I really wanted ours to be a bit different and not the cliche boring drinks reception so having seen Shane at events before I knew I had to book him for our wedding. To be brutally honest my husband wasn’t keen at all...he felt the cost was too much...but I can tell you now he has since ate his words and admits he is worth every single cent!!! I would actually pay double for the reaction he got from our guests. He is 100% money well spent without a doubt. Our guests are still talking about Shane and trying to figure out how he does it, we actually got phone calls the next day asking about him, people were just baffled. He blew them away. He genuinely is amazing at what he does. He has a lovely manner about him dealing with guests of all ages young and old. Even the hotel manager said he will be strongly recommending him for future events. So do yourself a favour and book him you will not be disappointed :-)

So yet another (boring) wedding was on the horizon but this time is was my own. I didn't want my wedding to be yet 'another' wedding and dreading seeing my guests yawning. So off I went on a mission, trawling through weddings online trying to find not only the best entertainment but something that was a little different, a little exciting and a major wow factor. I came across Shane Black, his reviews had me a little excited and he has won best entertainer but the cost was working out the same as my wedding dress!! I took a leap of faith and booked him. Shane was probably the one that I was concerned about the most on the day as I hadn't had the pleasure of seeing him in action before. Concerns soon drifted away he ended up being not only the best entertainer of the day but the most shocking and still 3 weeks on my guests are still talking about him. I'm just raging I wasn't part of the guests who got to enjoy his company a bit more !! Our money well spent and please if booking I'd recommend Shane's own photographer also, she picked up reactions that I now able to keep for a lifetime.

Shane was the best decision of our whole wedding. Even from when we had a preview at our house we were blown away. He was at the wedding early and even stayed a bit late to accommodate us. He has some of the most amazing tricks and I truly believe he is magic! My guests are still talking about him to this day. There was a massive crowd around him all day. Every one was so impressed! it was like he was famous as many said "omg cant believe Shane Black is here!" Definitely worth every penny, Cannot say enough good things about this entertainment. Its something different and if you want that added extra to be different Shane Black is the way to go. Absolutely unbelievable. I cannot wait to get my video to look back at peoples reactions again. Do not hesitate in booking this guy! 10/10. Thank you Shane for a whopper of a day!

The first time I seen Shane was at a work night. Myself and all my colleagues thought he was amazing. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Shane also interacts so well with people. I knew then that I wanted to surprise my Sister and I booked Shane for her wedding. Yet again Shane did a superb job. He made sure he got around to every guest at the wedding and gave the Bride and Groom some extra special treats to enjoy. I could see nothing but enjoyment on everyones faces. Also I could see people going up to Shane and would say please come to our table next. Everyone was speaking very greatly of Shane and still are. He went above and beyond our expectations. My Sister and Hubby were delighted. I would highly reccommed Shane to anyone.

Shane was amazing, people of all ages loved him and were talking about him all night. He was not at all cheesy either (which my husband was worried about when he heard 'magician'). Shane didn't do any big performances, he just moved discreetly from small group to small group and got as many guests as possible involved. His tricks were really incredible as well - Derren Brown style! We felt he added so much to the day and was such a talking point.

We would highly recommend him to anyone looking to provide your guests with awe inspiring moments and to keep your guests entertained and talking about it for the night and wondering how he did his amazing magic! Even our guests giving a fake name did not throw him off the scent!! He turned a deck of cards into a plaque with our names on it right in front of our eyes without touching our hands, just amazing. Price wise it seems expensive at first but take a look at his videos on you tube... And trust me it's the best money you'll ever spend on your wedding entertainment ????

We had previously met Shane at another wedding & a corporate event a few years ago! From those moments i knew we would have to have him perform at our wedding!! We asked Shane to perform at our drinks reception - he mingled with the crowd indoors & outdoors & made sure not to miss a table. It was the best thing we done, our guests were amazed! A week later & the conversation is still about the magic! Everybody loved it! E're still asking ourselves HOW! To anyone thinking about booking Shane, you will not be disappointed! It was well worth it! Thanks again Shane

When we were planning our wedding, we were looking for something different to entertain our guests at the drinks reception. From the minute Shane came into the venue, he mingled through the crowd almost unnoticed in his sharp suit. However it wasn't long before word spread through the crowd about his amazing card tricks and illusions. He was polite and he worked his way through the crowd providing a couple minutes entertainment at each and leaving everyone amazed. Shane didn't leave us out either, coming up to our top table to show us a number of things before he signed off for the night. Since the wedding day people have been raving about what they saw. Though it might seem a bit expensive you will not be disappointed!

Shane was highly professional from the very start. I have been to weddings in the past where that pre reception gap was left with nothing but guests looking at their watches, I booked Shane to fill this gap and guests couldn't of been happier with lots of compliments and positive feedback leaving guests with their jaws dropped. What impressed me most was the letter he had written that morning about two guests at the wedding, how it all came together amazed me! Then myself, Stephen and his niece thinking we were holding a deck of cards and when we lifted our hands it was something else. Just amazing, I would highly recommend Shane for any event and he fit in perfectly at our wedding.

Although it's taken us a ridiculous amount of time to get round to reviewing Shane's performance at our wedding last year (and never normally write reviews at all!) we cannot recommend him highly enough. We took a bit of a punt on hiring him - we had not seen him perform, but had heard rave reviews from others - and we are so glad we did! Shane was engaging and charming and put everyone at ease. He appealed to absolutely everyone and really tailored the performance to the audience. The performances themselves were absolutely incredibly and we still cannot fathom how any of the tricks were done. The guests were so impressed and have been talking about Shane ever since. The only downside to people being so enthralled and wanting to see more was that he didn't manage to get round all the tables during the meal, so not everyone saw him, but he certainly did his best! Some guests from England were so impressed they wanted him to come to their son's wedding and would have booked him on the spot, but unsurprisingly he was already booked! Shane also stayed slightly later than agreed so that he could include more guests, and although we would happily have paid extra to have him stay all night unfortunately he had another booking! We can also say that Shane is a really honest guy - we had inadvertently sent him the deposit twice and he let us know and refunded us the extra money immediately when we wouldn't even have noticed we'd done it (wedding brains!). Overall we are SO glad we booked Shane for our wedding - it made an amazing day even more special and we would definitely urge you to book him for yours!! His magic really is mind-blowing.
Response from Shane Black Magician
Hi Sophie, Thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed and wonderful review for me. I’m so pleased to hear my performance was well received and your guests are still talking about it. If I didn’t have another show that directly afterwards I would have happily stay on and get around to everyone for you. With groups constantly ebbing and flowing at the drinks reception, it can be challenging to keep track of who I’ve seen as people change groups, join other groups and so on. Hopefully I’ll have the opportunity to perform for you at another family event in the future. Again, thank you for your kind feedback, I really appreciate it. Wishing you and Martin the best for the future. Kind regards, Shane

Shane performed at my brother's wedding three years ago, and, having experienced his capabilities first hand, I had little trouble in convincing my fiancé that we simply had to secure his services for our recent wedding - and we were not disappointed! From my initial contact with him right through to his departure from our wedding, Shane's professionalism was second to none. And the experience he provided our guests with still has them mystified and talking about it - his skills are mind boggling and you will be left scratching your head indefinitely trying to figure out how he's done it. We always knew where Shane was in the room as every minute or two shrieks of excitement and surprise would erupt at one of the tables! Whatever the event, Shane can add something very special. I hope to book him again one day in the future and have no hesitation in recommending him.

Shane entertained our guests and made sure to get round to as many of them as possible. Everyone who experienced Shane's act at our wedding was blown away. Sceptics and those who tried to outwit him were stunned by what he could do. What made the day even more special was that when our friends and families were being seated for dinner we had a private show from Shane for 15 minutes that included a particular trick just for us. I would not hesitate to recommend Shane comfortable in the knowledge that everyone who experiences his show will enjoy it.

Everything was so easy and straight forward with Shane, his site is great plus he responds quickly to any questions. As I had seen Shane before I though I would know all his tricks and mind games, but know my friends are still telling me about different tricks which I hadn't seen, Shane has a spectral range to suit all personalities & age groups in his repertoire!! Im really looking forward to seeing Shane perform again at another event & we are so glad we had him at our wedding - such a friendly & personable guy who really acts as another host, entertaining & amazing everyone as he goes.

I contacted Shane initially to see if he was available for our pre-dinner drinks reception but he was already booked for another event. Instead he performed in between the courses of the meal and after the meal while the band was setting up. This actually worked out really well as it was a great talking point during the meal and it meant that there wasn't a lull in between the meal and the band as Shane was there to entertain!! Our Wedding party and our guests thoroughly enjoyed Shane's performance. Some of our guests even offered to pay Shane extra to stay on for longer!! Not only did he have everyone captivated, he also has a great way about him and is a true professional. A huge highlight of our Wedding day!

We had seen shane about 2 years go at a friends wedding and when we got engaged we had to make sure shane was part of our big day. We arrived to hotel on our big day and already people were commenting on shane doing tricks. He adds alot of atmosphere to the room. We found it helped people mingle that did not know each other it was a conversation starter for people. We had about 15 mins left before going to room for speeches and meal and shane sat down with myself and susan and had a few tricks for us. The one that blew our mind was were he asked susan to think of a holiday where she was on holidays with somebody that is not in the hotel at the wedding. Susan picked her friend showed me(PERSONS NAME WAS CAT)and then shane ripped up the paper gave to susan and asked were was the holiday susan had said santa ponsa and then asked what year susan said 2009. Shane then out a little envolpe stapled 20 times handed to susan. It was opened by myself and read inside "DONT ASK HOW I KNOW ABOUT YOYR HOLIDAY TO SANTA PONSA WHICH TOOK PLACE IN 2009 I JUST HOPE YOU AND CAT HAD A FANTASTIC TIME THERE" we could not believe it was amazing u really cant put a price on quality was really worth the fee AMAZING MIND BLOWING are just 2 words that can describe shane.

If you are thinking about hiring shane for an event i really wouldn't hesitate! We booked shane for our wedding in february and prior to seeing him a few years back at a family wedding he had so much more new mind boggling tricks to show.. Everyone's still talking about him! We were both really impressed with how he made sure we both got our value for money before he left by showing myself and paul some new material!! ???? definitely money well spent!!!

I booked Shane to perform at my wedding (pre-dinner time) having seen him at a work event previously. I wanted something different and to entertain people before the dinner reception. The feedback I got from the guests was that Shane was the best part of the wedding!!) He had everyone’s attention, so much so they didn't want to go for their dinner! He entertained the entire crowd including the children, taking time to perform to individuals as well as the small groups. It was possibly the best part of the day and one no one will ever forget. The next day and the few weeks after the wedding I got so many calls and texts asking me for his details, that speaks for itself. Great entertainer, lovely person and I could not recommend him enough to people for their weddings or other events.

We were both blown away by Shane on the day of our wedding. His professionalism was second to none and everyone we've met since our wedding has mentioned Shane to us. We would recommend him very highly - definitely a must for your wedding day. Our only regret is that we only had him for the drinks reception and not for during the meal, although it has meant that people were left in suspense. A very talented guy and we are so grateful to have had him there on our special day!

I booked Shane for our wedding last October and as it was last minute I didn't hold out much hope. However as it was a Sunday I was in luck and along he came to demonstrate his amazing skills to the wedding guests at the drinks reception. This is an excellent time to have Shane there as everyone is relaxed and it is the perfect ice breaker for families and friends. It is something different from the norm and people are still talking about it. The tricks were amazing ... It definitely added a new dimension to our wedding and made the day in fact! Irelands answer to David Blaine! Thanks again Shane - delighted you were able to perform at our wedding!

If you are wondering what entertainment would be best during your drinks reception then forget about music (that is what your band/DJ are for) and choose Shane Black. All our guests were blown away and are still talking about him. As illusionists/magician's go, Shane is the best we have ever seen. On top of this he is extremely professional, very approachable and delivers an astounding array of tricks/illusions. It is also a great ice breaker and talking point for the dinner table conversation. We can't recommend him enough.

We had seen Shane perform at my brother's wedding and were absolutely blown away so we immediately booked him for our wedding the following year! He added such a fun element to our day and was a huge hit with our guests. Having him there during the drinks reception was great entertainment and a real talking point and so many of our guests came up to us on the day telling us how blown away they were by his tricks. Shane is very friendly and personable and I would highly recommend him for your big day or special event.

Shane was a great highlight to our wedding day at the pre meal drinks reception. He blew people's minds with his repertoire. Shane is also a very easy going, easy to get on with guy, who shows up on time and does what he says he will. We also got photos from someone working with Shane and they captured our guests reactions brilliantly. We have since seen other magician type acts at subsequent weddings and they did not compare. Would recommend to anyone.

Dear Shane, Where do we start? I had seen some of your work through booking you for other functions in my work capacity and when I said to Aidan that I definitely knew what surprise entertainment I wanted for our guests on our wedding day he said I was mad!! But I raved on nonstop about how good you were he said ok we'll book him! I was thrilled. And SO excited as I knew our guests would never have seen anything like it before! So the big day arrived and the big day ended and since, meeting people from very late that night and very early the next morning, every single person mentioned how gob-smacked they were with your performance. Shane you had grown men fearful of you and your tricks..... At one stage during the night I looked around and as you moved from one group to the next you laid in your wake faces of disbelief, excitement, tears of frustration and people with no words to explain what just happened to them. Words actually can't describe how amazing and unbelievable you and your act are!!! You amazed and entertained our guests as I knew you would and to this date you still are the talking point of that night!! You stunned so many people and gave them an amazing time and the most wonderful memories for us. Thank you so do much for adding a twist of the unknown and a sprinkling of magic and intrigue into our evening entertainment - our wedding was very different and special and you were a huge part of it. Your professionalism and dedication to your job makes you an excellent entertainer but also as a person you are a joy to deal with. Thank you so so much for taking the time and travelling to our wedding evening after already working up the country at another wedding!! Shane you astounded so many of our guests with your amazing skills & talent – thank you for everything

“To anyone considering hiring a magician for their party or event, I cannot recommend Shane Black highly enough. He is absolutely amazing. I contacted Shane when my partner and I were organizing our wedding party, and after I had carried out a lot of research into other acts, I was very intrigued as to what Shane could do. He promised something different and wow, did he deliver! Our guests were blown away with his skills and they are still talking about him now. Shane seems to have been the most memorable part of our party, and that’s saying something when you consider that our party was Las Vegas style with all the trimmings. Shane actually worked the whole theme to his advantage and was at home with the cards and tables around him as he worked his magic. Shane's strengths are in his abilities and how he engages guests. I won't give away any details but Shane performed two signature effects in particular which just made everyone’s hair stand on end. Shane is a terrific magician but also a really nice guy. He puts you at ease from the first moment of contact, he is very easy to deal with and very funny too. Don't bother with any other research into other acts, I've done that. Take my word for it, book Shane. You won't be disappointed. I just want to express my deepest thanks to Shane for his work and for making our party so memorable.”

I believe your new number one fan Niamh managed to get her boss to book you for a function later in the month. Best of luck there. Thanks again for everything.

Hi Shane. Just thought we'd drop you a quick note to thank you again for your outstanding performance at our wedding on March 25th in the Glenview Hotel. All of our family and friends are still talking about you, and can’t get their heads around the tricks you performed. Thanks again Shane.

I’ve been told by a number of people... “the best money you’ve ever spent!”... You changed the whole atmosphere of our wedding reception (in a great way!!). Our guests enjoyed every minute of your performance. You have a wonderful presence and manner and created a wow factor that will stick with both Yvonne and I, and all our guests for many years to come. I will be highly recommending your performance to as many clients and friends for any functions that they may have in the future. I also will definitely be engaging your act in the future for any corporate events that may arise. Shane, thanks for creating the atmosphere that we were looking for on our special day.

We had Shane Black for our wedding in July 2011 and it's easy to see why he won entertainer of year 2011! He was fantastic and really was one of the talking points of our wedding. The guests really enjoyed his tricks and we would highly recommend him to anyone considering something a bit different for the pre-dinner drinks reception.
