Praise for ‘Jokes & Tricks’…

The Daily Mirror
“Tremendous fun from a performer at the top of his not inconsiderable game”

Edinburgh Festivals Magazine
“Firman is as quick with his jokes as he is with his hands. Good solid entertainment.”

National Student
“He’s dependable, annoyingly talented and always enjoyable; Pete Firman is one of the best and most bankable magicians working today”

Praise for ‘The Pete Firman Magic Show’…

The List
“Fusing jaw-dropping tricks with a fast and furious delivery of gags, he combines old school vaudeville charm with the edginess of a modern stand-up. A killer combo indeed.”

Metro
“Firman’s mix of daft humour, mock exasperation and deliberate trick fluffing is so winning, there’s a danger you might not appreciate just how good he is”.

Praise for ‘Flimflam’…

Time Out
‘A comedy fireball… Funnier than most comedians and more magical than Dumbledore on a good day… A complete star’

Fest
‘You will fall in love with the crazy little man on stage… Everyone in Firman’s packed room leaves grinning from ear to ear… Truly exceptional’

Three Weeks
‘Just like that, the gap that the late great Tommy Cooper left in our lives has been well and truly filled’

What the press have to say…

“Middlesbrough’s very own Messiah of Magic” Time Out

“Scintillating magic tricks from an ebullient comedy mind” Independent

“You’d have to be clinically braindead not to impressed… the MySpace generation’s Tommy Cooper”
The Scotsman

“A gob-smackingly talented magician….equally good at stand-up and boasts immaculate timing”
