Damian is, quite simply, the best close up magician in the UK – and I’ve seen ‘em all.

His magic is at a different level to all those other ‘jobbing’ magicians that ply their trade on the circuit. Many of them are very good, but Damian is brilliant – and that’s the difference.

At our event last Friday he worked the tables at a 400 seater ball and you could tell where he was in the room by the regular ‘whooooah’s that kept erupting over the loud chitter chatter noise. Everyone was stunned by his tricks – even the die-in-the-wool cynics, who were determined not to be impressed, enjoyed his ‘at table’ performances. My favourite was the disappearing wedding ring that re-appeared in a ball of flame on a gold chain. It was extraordinary.

If you want a magician that everyone will forget – book someone else. But if you want a magician that your guests will be talking about for days after then it has to be Damian Surr.

Damian put on an amazing show for a 50th birthday. We will definitely hire him again. 5⭐️

The best magic I’ve ever seen live is the closeup work of Damian Surr. I’ve seen him a couple of times and his magic always recalibrates my eyebrows.
I was stood in a small group once, in a high-ceilinged hotel ballroom and Damian was doing a bit of card trickery. He had the guy next to me sign a card and put it back into the pack.
We’re all staring intently at the stack of cards between Damian’s nimble fingers, alert for any trickery, when he invites us to look to the heavens.
And right there, about ten feet above our heads, squarely attached to the ceiling and facing downwards, is the signed card we’d been trying to keep track of.
I have literally no idea how he pulled it off.
