“A deliciously silly fusion of comedy and magic” **** The Stage

'an entertaining, jaw-dropping spectacle for all the family' **** Three Weeks Edinburgh 

‘This is a show focused on immersing and entertaining the audience, made even better by the fact that Mohammed himself is visibly immersed in and entertained by his character throughout the performance’  **** Edinburgh Festival Magazine
