CORPORATE MAGICIAN
Proud member of The Magic Circle. 120+ five‑star reviews.
Modern sleight of hand and sharp mind reading for corporate functions across the UK. I keep your clients, delegates, and leadership team completely engaged, so nobody spends the evening checking their watch or wishing they stayed home.
Corporate Magician | Phil Taylor AIMC
Getting fifty, two hundred, or five hundred professionals into the same room is straightforward. The genuine challenge is getting them to stop checking work emails on their phones, loosen up, and start laughing together.
That is where I come in. I do not do awkward volunteer bits, tired card puzzles, or cheesy prop comedy that makes your guests look at their watches. For over two decades, I have performed modern sleight of hand, sharp psychological mind reading, and spontaneous, good-humoured entertainment right under people's noses.

"Phil was fantastic at our event. He engaged every single group effortlessly, read minds in ways nobody could explain, and completely set the tone for the entire evening. Our guests are still talking about it weeks later."
Event Magic Tailored to You
Drinks Receptions and Networking Evenings
The start of an event sets the mood for the whole night. When guests first arrive, groups can be hesitant to mix. I move through the room during welcome drinks, joining small circles and giving them an astonishing shared moment within sixty seconds. The awkwardness disappears, the room comes alive, and conversation flows easily.
Corporate Gala Dinners and Award Nights
The downtime between meal courses can slow down even the best planned banquet. I bring high-impact magic straight to your tables while food is served. Each table enjoys a focused, personal performance that sparks conversation across the room and keeps the atmosphere high until speeches begin.
VIP Hospitality and Executive Dinners
When entertaining key clients, ordinary entertainment falls flat. My close-up mind reading provides a smart, sophisticated talking point. Your VIP guests will watch thoughts read and choices anticipated inches away, leaving them thoroughly impressed by your hospitality.
The VIP Mind Reading Parlour Experience
If you need something exclusive for a leadership summit, executive retreat, or private boardroom dinner, this format is built for you.
The VIP Mind Reading Parlour Experience is an interactive parlour show designed for 15 to 40 seated guests. Instead of walkaround entertainment, I bring the entire room together for 30 to 45 minutes of direct mind reading, psychological influence, and impossibilities. I reveal unspoken thoughts, predict group choices, and weave your team directly into the performance. It delivers the atmosphere of a private West End performance right inside your venue.
