Part mind reader. Part sleight-of-hand artist.
Full-time atmosphere catalyst.
Hi, I’m Phil Taylor. Think of me as the best guest at your event who just happens to know what you’re thinking before you’ve even thought it.
For over 20 years, my mission hasn’t been to show off tricks. It’s to get a room of polite strangers belly-laughing, gasping, and leaning in together wondering how on earth their watch just vanished into thin air.
Zero stage jitters. Complete room control.
Real clients, genuine jaw-drop reactions.
Inner Magic Circle’s highest performance honour.
Complete peace of mind for every venue.
Here’s my golden rule:
The magic is great, but the laugh is what you remember.
We’ve all seen magicians who take themselves way too seriously—standing there like a brooding wizard, putting people on the spot, or making things feel just a bit awkward. That is not what I do.
I believe close-up magic should feel modern, stylish, and ridiculously fun. It happens inches away from your nose—often directly in your hands—with everyday things, borrowed coins, and random thoughts plucked clean out of your head.
"You’re not just booking someone to do clever sleight of hand. You’re booking someone who knows how to read the room, spot the quiet group in the corner, and bring them right into the party."

Pick Your Flavor of Mayhem
The Icebreaker
Effortless strolling sleight of hand during drinks receptions, garden parties, or guest arrivals. Perfect for shattering awkward silences and getting people laughing before dinner even starts.
The Dinner Spark
High-energy micro-shows delivered right between courses. Turns polite dining small talk into roaring applause and leaves neighboring tables craning their necks to see what just happened.
The Speakeasy
An exclusive 20-minute psychological experience for small groups in a private room. PIN codes revealed, memories stolen, and absolute astonishment that becomes the talk of the entire night.
