“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 presents 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 effortlessly fresh…faultless professionalism. It makes for a set that guarantees fun.”
Chortle
