"I just wanted to thank you for performing at our event last week and to let you know what positive feedback we had. Everyone thought your act was astonishing and the crowd were very entertained - in fact they are still talking about it.

Your show was very different from what we are used to seeing with other magicians. I still can't figure out how you managed to tell me the name of my childhood pet which was French!

Thanks once again, it was an absolute pleasure working with you."

Aurelie Ricard
Zurich Life Assurance plc

"Shane is an extremely friendly, professional and highly engaging entertainer who mesmerised the guests at our recent event in the Four Seasons.

He proved a fantastic ice-breaker at the start of the event and really brought the crowd together throughout the evening. His captivating illusions amazed the audience and really kept everyone talking.

We would highly recommend Shane as a first-class entertainer who can provide an impressive edge to any event."

Anna Callaghan

"Hi Shane,

Just wanted to say a huge thanks for your performance on Friday night. People were blown away and the feedback this morning was amazing! Fair play to you for sticking around as long as you did as well, very much appreciated as the food service was so slow, you kept people occupied brilliantly!

Declan Morris

Caron Clancy

No one expected us to have a "magician" there so they were both impressed and totally amazed at what you did! The following day there were a few sore heads but that did not stop people talking about you! We will definitely keep you in mind for further events we might be doing in Ireland - thanks again for a brilliant and unforgettable performance!"

Nicola Hedley

"I just want to thank you so much for being part of my Lady Captains evening.

You promised me an evening that we would never forget and you certainly kept your word!

Everyone thought that you were fantastic and even after you were gone they were still talking about you and where had I found you!"

Penny Walker
Golf Club, Rathfarnham

"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."

Derek O'Reilly
Glenview Hotel, 12th November 2011

"Thank you Shane for a fantastic evening's entertainment. You were completely mind blowing; my guests cannot stop talking about you. If you ever have a couple not sure if they should have you – you get them to call me. I was not sure about your show and now think you were the best decision I made. Many thanks."

Sabrina and John
Adare Manor, Limerick, 5th November 2011

"We had Shane along as an entertainer to our wedding on St Patricks Day. Based on the feedback he is one of the most memorable parts of our wedding. Our guests loved him and you cannot ask for more than that. Our only regret was that we did not get to spend more time with him ourselves. Was not in our original budget but definitely our best investment. Amazing and mind bending. Will definitely find an excuse to see Shane again."

Des O'Neill
Tulfarris Hotel, 17th March 2011

"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."

Graham Fraser
Middleton Park House, 22nd October 2008

"Hey Shane, I just wanted to say a huge thank you for performing for our guests the night of our wedding. You were unbelievable and all our guests loved you and couldn't get enough of you.

They are blaming you for our first dance being so late as no wanted to leave you in the bar! My dad was just completely taken aback by you I don't think he could believe his eyes, he has been talking about you ever since! People ask how the wedding was; he says Shane Black was amazing!

Also I wanted to say thank you so much for staying on way past your scheduled time, you are a pure professional and a pleasure to be around. Also we would like to thank you for waiting on Ryan and I to do our first dance and then taking us aside for our private magic performance. We really did appreciate that, as I would have been sick if I missed you.

Thanks again for everything Shane; you are a true gent and pure talent."

Susan and Ryan Sheridan

"Just a quick email to say a very sincere "Thank You" for your enormous contribution to our guests enjoyment of the pre-dinner drinks reception on Friday last at the Wineport Lodge. Everyone, without exception, thoroughly enjoyed seeing you in action and are still talking positively about it. Again, many thanks and the best of luck for 2011.

Ed Bourke
Wineport Lodge, 31st December 2010

"We had Shane at our wedding in Sept 2010. He was absolutely brilliant. Everybody is still talking about the things he did with them and all wondering how. It's amazing what he does, he told guests names of their first pets, what they were thinking and just amazed everybody. He is so nice and a pleasure to deal with. On our video it was great to see the reactions on the guest's faces - priceless! He was the highlight of the day for everyone. If you're looking for something different, a wow factor, book Shane for your special day.

Thanks again Shane"

We saw magic in front of our very own eyes. It would have been good to get some reaction photos, they'd be priceless. And how can you pick memories out of people's heads?"

Keelin and Niall
Powerscourt House, Enniskerry, 15th September 2011

"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."

Seamus Lyons
Barberstown Castle, Straffan, Co. Kildare, 31st July 2011

"Surprise surprise that there isn't a negative comment on your page and nor will there be! We got married on Aug 18th and had Shane do the entertainment at our reception whilst we were having our photographs done. This was by far and away one of the best choices we made in organising our wedding. When booking most things for our wedding we looked for recommendations. If you are considering Shane you are lucky to have come across him and go no further, I only hope that my recommendation is a help to all involved as just a small thank you to Shane for making our special day even better. Thank you again Shane."

Ronan and Niamh
Mount Wolseley Hotel, 18th August 2011

"Shane, anyone I have seen since the wedding has not stopped commenting on your entertainment that evening. I think you left a few people shell shocked! All along I was looking for something different for the entertainment in the evening rather than the usual and I found that in your performance, you are a great entertainer. Wishing you all the success in the future and I will be recommending you to others. Once again thank you so much for entertaining us on our Big Day."

Brenda & Brian Gaffney
Louis Fitzgerald Hotel, Dublin, 2nd September 2011

It's only now that we are back from our honeymoon that we are hearing some of the amazing things that you actually did on the day!
