“a charming and spectacular magician who was so entertaining to watch”

We’ve had some lovely reviews of Are you watching closely? during its run at the Magic Bar Live over the last few months, so we’ve gathered them all here together:

The text of a review titled "Marvellous, Magical Memories!"

“We got tickets for Jay Gatling’s ‘Are you watching closely’ show, where Jay was such a charming and spectacular magician who was so entertaining to watch, Jay even invited my partner on stage and she was able to keep a card with his signature on it as a little memento of the experience. We thoroughly enjoyed the show so much that we knew we had to go back. We were also blown away by the amazing value of what you experience for a two-hour show.”

“The main event Jay was entertaining and kept us guessing with his tricks. Lots of audience participation. The whole evening was fantastic value for money.”
