“Mysteriosa.” A lovely show. Imagine short stories of Edgar Allen Poe with curious spiritual magic. Ashton is such a charming performer, a great storyteller and a skilled magician.”

'Enthralling and spooky, Ashton Carter provides an evening like no other. If you only see one show this year, you could do far, far worse than to trust the amazing Mr Ashton Carter'

'Ashton has compered our annual show for Malmesbury Carnival on multiple occasions.  He really adds to the atmosphere, momentum and energy.  His performance not only seamlessly helps the other acts flow during the evening (successfully adjusting his timescales to any backstage needs that arise!) it is also hugely entertaining in its own right.  The audience is rapt.  I have seen Ashton perform acts ranging from spin chilling to hilarious, and also the very surreal.  He tailors what he does perfectly to those watching.  I would not hesitate to engage him again.'

'I have had the pleasure of being invited to one of Ashton Carter’s Victorian close magic presentations. Both strange, intriguing and full of glorious illusionary magic, just like the man himself! By request at our 'Weekend at the Asylum' Steampunk show Mr Carter proceeded to saw an audience member in half to the ultimate delight of our fans and the band. Even more delightful he managed to put all the bits back together again meaning we had no difficult questions from the local constabulary.'
