“Alan Watson is the first magician from New Zealand to appear in our Close-Up Gallery. He delighted our audiences with his unique technical skills. They are at once astonished and well pleased, a rare combination for any professional to master. His act is of the highest quality and he is one of the finest talents to appear at the Magic Castle in a long time. We look forward to booking Alan Watson whenever he is in the area.”

Alan's showmanship and personality are unique. The enjoyment I receive, as I watch the bewilderment and complete mystification on the faces of my guests, is tremendous. His act also has the ability to break the ice, often becoming the focal point of the conversation for some considerable time afterwards. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Alan as a highly talented, entertaining and professional performer.”
