We booked Shane based on reviews alone and it's easy to see why he has won awards! We had a small wedding (32) we wanted something different to entertain our guests after our meal, and before the DJ started. Shane was a pleasure to deal with and his performance was amazing!! Everyone young and old thoroughly enjoyed it and it is still often talked about now! We'd have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him for any function.

We had Shane for our wedding in Kells on 12th August this year. He was very professional and friendly at all times. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking to provide your guests with awe inspiring moments and to keep your guests entertained and talking about it for the night and wondering how he did his amazing magic! Even our guests giving a fake name did not throw him off the scent!! He turned a deck of cards into a plaque with our names on it right in front of our eyes without touching our hands, just amazing. Price wise it seems expensive at first but take a look at his videos on you tube... And trust me it's the best money you'll ever spend on your wedding entertainment!

We could not recommend Shane Black enough, he was incredible! If you are considering entertainment for your wedding, this is it!! He absolutely amazed our guests, it was all they could talk about! He was great to have around on the day, an absolute gentleman and a pleasure to deal with and I still can't understand how he did some of the things he did!! Definitely worth it!

Shane, thank you so much from both Karl and I for being part of our special day. All I can say is if you are looking at this page thinking about booking Shane... stop thinking and DO IT NOW!! Everyone was amazed by Shane, it was so much fun looking at everyone's reaction and listening to them talking about it. It gave such a different twist. Dinner was called, Shane was still there doing his thing and people didn't want to leave for dinner. I have booked so many entertainers for company events and Shane is by far the best we could have picked!

Dear Shane, Where do we start? I had seen some of your work through booking you for other functions in my work capacity and when I said to Aidan that I definitely knew what surprise entertainment I wanted for our guests on our wedding day he said I was mad!! But I raved on nonstop about how good you were he said ok we'll book him! I was thrilled. And SO excited as I knew our guests would never have seen anything like it before! So the big day arrived and the big day ended and since, meeting people from very late that night and very early the next morning, every single person mentioned how gob-smacked they were with your performance. Shane you had grown men fearful of you and your tricks..... At one stage during the night I looked around and as you moved from one group to the next you laid in your wake faces of disbelief, excitement, tears of frustration and people with no words to explain what just happened to them. Words actually can't describe how amazing and unbelievable you and your act are!!! You amazed and entertained our guests as I knew you would and to this date you still are the talking point of that night!! You stunned so many people and gave them an amazing time and the most wonderful memories for us. Thank you so do much for adding a twist of the unknown and a sprinkling of magic and intrigue into our evening entertainment - our wedding was very different and special and you were a huge part of it. Your professionalism and dedication to your job makes you an excellent entertainer but also as a person you are a joy to deal with. Thank you so so much for taking the time and travelling to our wedding evening after already working up the country at another wedding!! Shane you astounded so many of our guests with your amazing skills & talent – thank you for everything

Shane performed in fantastic fashion for us at our drinks reception in early October & our guests are still talking about him & I have no doubt they will be this time next year!! I had seen Shane perform at a work event & could not believe my eyes, right then I knew he would be a massive hit at our wedding. Everything was so easy and straight forward with Shane, his site is great plus he responds quickly to any questions. As I had seen Shane before I though I would know all his tricks and mind games, but know my friends are still telling me about different tricks which I hadn't seen, Shane has a spectral range to suit all personalities & age groups in his repertoire!! I'm really looking forward to seeing Shane perform again at another event & we are so glad we had him at our wedding - such a friendly & personable guy who really acts as another host, entertaining & amazing everyone as he goes. A huge thanks to you Shane & best of luck for the future 🙂 Liz & John

We had Shane preform at our drinks receptions and through out the meal at our wedding and everyone was amazed by his magic, we had a lot of sceptics in our party but by the end Shane had converted them. Everyone kept telling me how amazing he was and what a great idea it was to have him there. He included as many people as possible in his performance and brought everyone together, it was a real ice breaker, I could not recommend Shane highly enough and if you have an event get booking because I can guarantee you will not be disappointed.

We booked Shane for our drinks reception and it was the best money we have ever spent! Not only is he amazing at what he does but a real ice breaker for people that don't know each other as well. Can't recommend Shane enough this was the second time I have seen him, and nothing was the same. I'm now looking for an excuse to book him again 🙂 if you want everyone to be still talking about your wedding weeks later definitely have Shane as entertainment for your guests.

Having been to a few weddings myself I really wanted ours to be a bit different and not the cliché boring drinks reception so having seen Shane at events before I knew I had to book him for our wedding. To be brutally honest my husband wasn’t keen at all...he felt the cost was too much...but I can tell you now he has since eaten his words and admits he is worth every single cent!!! I would actually pay double for the reaction he got from our guests. He is 100% money well spent without a doubt. Our guests are still talking about Shane and trying to figure out how he does it, we got phone calls the next day asking about him, people were just baffled. He blew them away. He genuinely is amazing at what he does. He has a lovely manner about him dealing with guests of all ages young and old. Even the hotel manager said he will be strongly recommending him for future events. So, do yourself a favour and book him you will not be disappointed 🙂

So yet another (boring) wedding was on the horizon but this time it was my own. I didn’t want my wedding to be yet ‘another’ wedding and dreaded seeing my guests yawning. So off I went on a mission, trawling through weddings online trying to find not only the best entertainment but something that was a little different, a little exciting and a major wow factor. I came across Shane Black, his reviews had me a little excited and he has won best entertainer but the cost was working out the same as my wedding dress!! I took a leap of faith and booked him. Shane was probably the one that I was concerned about the most on the day as I hadn’t had the pleasure of seeing him in action before. Concerns soon drifted away he ended up being not only the best entertainer of the day but the most shocking and 3 weeks on my guests are still talking about him. I’m just raging I wasn’t part of the guests who got to enjoy his company a bit more !! Our money well spent and please if booking I’d recommend Shane’s own photographer also, she picked up reactions that I now able to keep for a lifetime.

When I say I cannot recommend Shane enough, that is an understatement. He entertained 130 people at the wedding pre-dinner reception. It was such a great start to the reception, everybody was talking about it for the rest of the day and on the second day. His talent in doing what he does is amazing. I have seen Shane entertain at different functions about five or six times now and he still leaves me in awe. Would highly recommend you book if you want a class act for your guests.

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.

Shane was an amazing part of our day and so easy to deal with. Our guests were astonished by his magic and he was a huge talking point for weeks after the wedding! Both myself and my husband agreed that Shane was an amazing entertainer and 100% worth having as part of our wedding day! We'd recommend him to any couples thinking of something different for entertainment.. the trick is don't let anyone in on the plan and enjoy the fantastic reactions from your guests! It's so worth seeing the looks on their faces.

We had Shane along as an entertainer to our wedding on St Patrick's 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.

The highlight of our day! From start to finish Shane was so professional and pleasant to deal with. We couldn't rate him any higher and our guests are still all taking about it. You definitely won't be disappointed!

I booked Shane for our wedding last October and as it was last minute I didn't hold out much hope. However as it was a Sunday I was in luck and along he came to demonstrate his amazing skills to the wedding guests at the drinks reception. This is an excellent time to have Shane there as everyone is relaxed and it is the perfect ice breaker for families and friends. It is something different from the norm and people are still talking about it. The tricks were amazing ... It definitely added a new dimension to our wedding and made the day in fact! Ireland's answer to David Blaine! Thanks again Shane - delighted you were able to perform at our wedding!

We hired Shane Black for our wedding and we are so glad that we did. Shane arrived at the beginning of the reception and mingled seamlessly with the guests. What he does is so impressive and was a great talking point for the evening. He brought groups of people together and we found it was an excellent way to help guests interact. From the moment we met Shane he was very professional and is an impressive character, with our only regret being that we didn't book him for longer!  A great element to any event that people will be talking about for a long time afterwards.

Shane, I would just like to say thank you so much for entertaining my guests at my wedding vow renewal in Kilruddery House and Gardens last week. We are all still talking about you and how fantastic you were. You were absolutely the star of the show and duly entertained my guests during the photography session. I would highly recommend you to anyone who is looking for a wow factor at any event they are planning. Thanks again and very best wishes! You should be on the TV, you are every bit as good as Dynamo!!!

We booked Shane Black for our wedding reception and I have to say he was exceptional.  His entire routine is just outstanding. Every guest involved or spectator to his routine were blown away. I would highly recommend him.

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, well 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.

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.

We booked Shane for our wedding as he came highly recommended. We weren't sure if we wanted to spend a lot of money on this type of entertainment, but it ended up being the best decision we made! Shane was an absolute hit among all of our guests, and 2 months after the wedding our family and friends are still talking about the amazing tricks he performed. You won't believe how good he is until you see him in action!! Thanks for everything Shane!

Although it's taken us a ridiculous amount of time to get around to reviewing Shane's performance at our wedding last year (and never normally write reviews at all!) we cannot recommend him highly enough. We took a bit of a punt on hiring him - we had not seen him perform but had heard rave reviews from others - and we are so glad we did! Shane was engaging and charming and put everyone at ease. He appealed to absolutely everyone and really tailored the performance to the audience. The performances themselves were incredible and we still cannot fathom how any of the tricks were done. The guests were so impressed and have been talking about Shane ever since. The only downside to people being so enthralled and wanting to see more was that he didn't manage to get around all the tables during the meal, so not everyone saw him, but he certainly did his best! Some guests from England were so impressed they wanted him to come to their son's wedding and would have booked him on the spot, but unsurprisingly he was already booked! Shane also stayed slightly later than agreed so that he could include more guests, and although we would happily have paid extra to have him stay all night unfortunately he had another booking! We can also say that Shane is a really honest guy - we had inadvertently sent him the deposit twice and he let us know and refunded us the extra money immediately when we wouldn't even have noticed we'd done it (wedding brains!). Overall, we are SO glad we booked Shane for our wedding - it made an amazing day even more special and we would definitely urge you to book him for yours!! His magic really is mind-blowing.

Shane was a great highlight to our wedding day at the pre meal drinks reception. He blew people's minds with his repertoire. Shane is also a very easy going, easy to get on with guy, who shows up on time and does what he says he will. We also got photos from someone working with Shane and they captured our guests reactions brilliantly. We have since seen other magician type acts at subsequent weddings and they did not compare. Would recommend to anyone.

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.

If you are wondering what entertainment would be best during your drinks reception then forget about music (that is what your band/DJ are for) and choose Shane Black. All our guests were blown away and are still talking about him. As illusionists/magician's go, Shane is the best we have ever seen. On top of this he is extremely professional, very approachable and delivers an astounding array of tricks/illusions. It is also a great ice breaker and talking point for the dinner table conversation. We can't recommend him enough.
