Magic tricks made more memorable

An awesome experience

This was one of the most unique, entertaining, and informative tours we'd ever been on. Our 11 and 13 year old kids were engrossed the entire time, and we learned so much about Oxford's history while laughing often at Shane's quips and marveling at his close-up magic tricks. Highly recommend!

5 star plus!

This was a fabulous insight to central Oxford and the history of the University precincts. Sean was the best guide, funny, knowledgeable, engaging and a clever magician. He went out of his way to engage with each individual in the group. As a one man business, I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

A fun, informative tour

It’s a good mix of interesting facts and magic tricks which is helpful to keep the younger ones interested. Shane was very pleasant and engaging. He took lots of questions and made the 90 mins fly by. Really recommend (we had a 14 and 16 year old and they really enjoyed it too).
