Star Magic Healing (Jerry Sargeant)

Star Magic Healing is an energy-healing/spiritual-practitioner business founded by Jerry Sargeant. UK Companies House records, confirmed directly, show Sargeant as sole director of Star Magic Healing Limited (incorporated 11 January 2016, dissolved 12 September 2017) and a second, related entity, Star Magic Facilitators Limited, both dissolved the same year no active UK company currently ties to Sargeant. Independent journalism (The Ferret, a Scottish investigative outlet, confirmed directly) reports that Sargeant and Star Magic Healing Limited were convicted in 2017 under the UK's Cancer Act 1939 after Trading Standards found his website advertised that he could cure illnesses including cancer, resulting in a total court bill of about £4,700 (reported as roughly £1,200 in fines, £3,487.25 in costs, and a £60 victim surcharge); Star Magic Healing Limited had in fact already been dissolved two months earlier, on 12 September 2017. Sargeant has continued operating internationally since, including paid events (a 2024 Edinburgh event cost attendees almost £900) whose marketing and testimonials continue to reference healing serious illness, alongside a legal disclaimer. Trustpilot shows a 4.9-star rating from 867 reviews; a long-running ComplaintsBoard thread separately contains a mix of refund/pricing/sales-pressure allegations and supportive comments. This profile describes what is documented; it does not characterize the healing practice itself as legitimate or fraudulent.

EDITORIAL

Star Magic Healing is an energy-healing/spiritual-practitioner business built around founder Jerry Sargeant, offering paid online and in-person courses, multi-day retreats, and private healing sessions. UK Companies House records, confirmed directly for this profile, show Sargeant as sole director of Star Magic Healing Limited (company no. 09945715), incorporated 11 January 2016 and dissolved 12 September 2017, and of a second related entity, Star Magic Facilitators Limited (company no. 10016204, incorporated 19 February 2016, dissolved 4 April 2017 via voluntary strike-off). No currently active UK company tied to Sargeant as director was found in this research. The business's own current Cancellation & Refund Policy, however, names a US entity, "Church of Star Magic Inc.," as the operating "Company" behind its live events and trainings — that entity's registration could not be independently confirmed against a US state corporate register in this research. Sargeant's own material gives conflicting founding years (2015 on one of his sites, 2016 on another), which matches the 2016 Companies House incorporation date more closely than the 2015 claim; both self-published claims are noted rather than silently resolved.

Is Star Magic Healing (Jerry Sargeant) Legitimate?

In 2017, Jerry Sargeant and his then-company Star Magic Healing Limited were prosecuted at Westminster Magistrates' Court under Section 4 of the UK's Cancer Act 1939, which makes it illegal to advertise any treatment as a cure for cancer. The prosecution followed a Trading Standards review of claims on Sargeant's website, including a page titled "Energy Healing For Cancer Treatment." Sargeant was convicted in his absence on four counts, his company on two, and he was ordered to pay a total court bill of about £4,700 (roughly £1,200 in fines, £3,487.25 in costs, and a £60 victim surcharge); Star Magic Healing Limited had in fact already been dissolved two months earlier, on 12 September 2017. This is independently confirmed by direct reading of a 9 March 2024 investigative report from The Ferret, a Scottish journalism outlet, which also reports that Sargeant has continued running paid events internationally — including a two-day Edinburgh event, held in 2024, costing attendees almost £900 (£555 for one day), promoted as able to address "disease, injury, illness, anxiety, bad habits or worries." As of that March 2024 report, the Star Magic Healing website carried a legal disclaimer alongside testimonials The Ferret described as claiming cancer had "vanished" or Parkinson's had been "cured." Sargeant told The Ferret he is "a facilitator, empowering people to do their own healing," would "never recommend that people cease medical treatment," and disputes that he or his organizations claim to cure cancer. This profile reports these facts as documented; it does not characterize the underlying healing practice itself as legitimate or fraudulent, which is a judgment for the reader.

EDITORIAL

A long-running ComplaintsBoard thread about Star Magic Healing contains a mix of allegations — refund and cancellation disputes over paid courses, claims of high-pressure sales tactics or expensive upsells at live events, and at least one account alleging serious psychological harm — alongside supportive and defensive comments from other users, including some who say they have worked directly with Star Magic or Jerry Sargeant (though nothing in the thread unambiguously establishes a former-employee relationship). Trustpilot separately shows a 4.9-star rating from 867 reviews, overwhelmingly five-star. These present sharply different pictures of the same business; this profile does not attempt to reconcile them into one sentiment characterization, consistent with the site's own house rules against merging distinct evidentiary tiers.

Prosecution of Jerry Sargeant and Star Magic Healing Limited under the Cancer Act 1939Westminster Magistrates' Court—
JudgmentJudgment entered
Following a Trading Standards review of claims on Sargeant's website (including a page titled "Energy Healing For Cancer Treatment"), Sargeant was convicted in his absence on four counts and Star Magic Healing Limited on two counts, under Section 4 of the Cancer Act 1939, which broadly bans advertising to the public any treatment for, or advice on treating, cancer -- not only claims that use the word "cure." Sargeant was ordered to pay a total court bill of about £4,700 (roughly £1,200 in fines, £3,487.25 in costs, and a £60 victim surcharge). He has since stated he is "a facilitator, empowering people to do their own healing" and would "never recommend that people cease medical treatment," and disputes that he or his organizations claimed to cure cancer. Star Magic Healing Limited had in fact already been dissolved on 12 September 2017, about two months before this sentencing was reported.
