'Brilliant Tricks, even better patter' Malcolm Hay, Time Out

'Paul Daniels he's not - brilliant he is' Brian Donaldson, The List

'Top turn...genuinely funny...brilliant' Gary Bushell, The Sun

'A natural star' The Times

'In show business, magic and comedy usually marry inadvertently. The rabbit wriggles out early, the wrong card is pulled, the girl drops the axe. After seeing Paul Zenon's act, it hits home that comedy and magic are apple and cinnamon, movies and rainy days — combinations that, once experienced, are irresistible'
- Gautum Raja, Gulf News

'Zenon is the consummate showman; a very talented magician who present his brilliant gift with a lively, self-effacing style. His is a bullet-proof set that never fails...the timing is immaculate, genially entertaining any audience as he nimbly leaps from one impressive trick to the next with distinctive flair. His jovial banter seems effortlesslessly fresh...faultless professionalism. It makes for a set that guarantees fun' Chortle

'His deceptive self-deprecation belies the inventive precision of his stunts and the sharpness of his warm wit...seeing will be believing!'
- William Cook, The Guardian

'This show may actually have everything...the magic is what you'd hope for, fast and surprising, what I wasn't expecting was the genuinely funny stand-up patter...it's mesmerising stuff - get a ticket. 5 out of 5'
- Lauren Pringle, Brighton Festival review
