and entertaining night I've been to in years! Through a series of psychic
'games' and 'experiments' Quentin wowed the crowd with his abilities! Whether
you're a believer in the powers of the paranormal or a complete sceptic,
Quentin's show was a perfect mix of merriment and mystery. He made every member

out on stage! A thoroughly entertaining evening which I recommend to everyone."
