As a result of his deep understanding of theatrical skills he possesses the excellent ability of being able to connect with his audiences irregardless of whether they are 8 or 80. He is a dedicated and skilful professional that knows how to perform baffling magic that has a universal entertainment appeal. He is truly an outstanding performer. Whether he is performing as himself or in costume as the 2501 year old wizard Kramus Nexifius he has a truly powerful effect on his audiences and always leaves them completely enthralled.I am honoured to have worked with him, proud to be his friend and delighted that he is a member of  The Society of American Magicians International Assembly -272"

Mark Fisken delivered a very interactive show with lots of hands-on activity with the entire audience and lots of participation by children volunteering from the audience.  

I thought the whole show was entertaining, exciting and fun for all ages.  Mark delighted audiences with his menagerie of puppets and aids and performed some fantastic tricks. 

His manner and contact with children was always appropriate and was reminiscent of a more gentle, polite and traditional way with young people who responded equally well.

The use of very high quality props, tricks, costumes and set design helped to deliver a top quality show.  I thoroughly enjoyed the yells and squeals of delight coming from the children throughout the two shows I attended. 

A very all-round entertainer, who provided a full hour’s show filled with tricks, magic and jokes.  I can’t recommend this performer enough.

"If ever a Wizard of Scotland there was, Kramus Nexifius is one because, because of the wonderful things he does. He claims to be over 2500 years old and who am I to disagree? His knowledge of the ancient art of magic transcends the years as he was a close personal friend of another wizard from days gone by ....Merlin.

I have seen Kramus Nexifius enthrall , amuse and mystify literally thousands of young and old alike. Among the many miracles I have seen him do , he created a live rabbit and , with the aid of a young volunteer, Kramus Nexifius made a table actually take flight several feet into the air as it careened about the stage. the gasps of wide eyed wonderment on the faces of young children is something I will not soon forget.

As the Wizard -in-residence at the annual Castle of Magic held at Stirling Castle each autumn, Kramus Nexifius seems at home and as natural as the serpentine gargoyles that adorn the castle. his exquisite elegant and yes, almost kingly accoutrements flash as brightly as the sparkle in his eyes as this saintly yet stooped wizard weaves his magic spells. He spreads cheer and joy to everyone who comes near as people flock to capture a magical moment or perchance snap a picture with him. I expect Kramus Nexifius will be around for at least another 2500 years but don't wait that long to try and catch him. make it a point to see this wizard as soon as you can."

"Kramus the Magician was a wonderful addition to our recent Medieval Fair. His mix of wandering Magic and static Shows really captured visitors imagination and helped create a brilliantly mystical atmosphere. both professional and believable, we will definitely be booking Kramus for our next Medieval Event."

"Mick Magic gave three wonderful performances of magic tricks for the Holyrood Amateur Theatre Society's Winter Variety Show at the Pleasance Cabaret Bar Edinburgh 11 to 13th January 2007. They were a marvellous mix of humour and general skullduggery - ranging from card effects to magic rabbits and flying tables- that kept the audience fully involved for the whole of the show. He has a rich repertoire of magic tricks, adapting his approach to suit his audience, in a highly enjoyable act that appeals to people of all ages. It was just the right combination of banter and skill, repartee and suspense, that enthralled the audience and left them impressed and intrigued."

"Thank you again for your appearance at the Cologne Carnival Week, Cologne Germany. I have just spoken to the organiser of the local parade. He told me , that your participation as "Kramus Nexifius" was the highlight of this event. The costume and indeed character was simply the best in the entire parade. I also received an email from the sales manager of SGL- Carbon, Markus Mirgeler. He expressed, that his international guests were very well entertained by the magic you performed in the Mercure Hotel in Cologne on the 27th february 2006... so much so he is thinking of booking you again for next year for the same event!  Thanks again for your magical entertainment in Germany.

"..Edinburgh Magician Mick Magic's alter ego Kramus Nexifius, a 2,500 year old wizard.Resplendent in silken robes, flowing locks and beard, it's the sort of thing that could easily take on the essence of pantomime. But Mick handles it beautifully , right down to the learned articulation and the tottering walk......if ever there were a real wizard, he would look exactly like the character Mick creates. And fans of Harry Potter are going to adore this old chap who, if he put his mind to it , probably could change lead into gold...."
