Magician Leicestershire: Phil Taylor AIMC

Let’s be honest for a second. Most events suffer from the same problem: predictable lulls where guests just stand around clutching a warm drink, waiting for something interesting to happen. I fix that.

I’ve spent the last 20 years perfecting the art of close-up card magic, psychological mind reading, and misdirection. I’m an Associate of the Inner Magic Circle with a Silver Star. It is a bit of a mouthful, but it basically means I actually know what I'm doing and I have the official seal of approval from the most prestigious magic society in the world.

I’ve performed for VIPs at Selfridges, entertained the BBC, amazed guests at the Commonwealth Games, and worked with the NHS. More importantly, I bring that exact same television-quality performance to your wedding or private party. Throw in my £10M Public Liability Insurance, and your venue coordinators will love me just as much as your guests do.

"People were talking about him all night. Unbelievable magic."

Phil is an amazing entertainer and had the whole room amazed and wanting more all evening. We booked him for our engagement party and all of our family and friends spoke about him all night and several took his details to book him for their events.
His magic is flawless, his banter is brilliant, and he made people laugh. Overall, we were very pleased and would certainly book him again.

Leicestershire Weddings

There is always a gap in the day at a wedding. Usually, it is during the photos, or right after the wedding breakfast before the evening band kicks off. I step in during those moments. I mingle with your family and friends, breaking the ice between people who have never met, and turning quiet corners into massive crowds of cheering guests.

Corporate Events

Whether it is an awards dinner in Leicester city centre or a company Christmas party, you need an icebreaker. Corporate events can be notoriously slow to start. I approach groups, engage them with impossible sleight of hand, and create an instant talking point that gets people off the topic of work and into a great mood.

Private Milestone Parties

Throwing a 40th birthday or a silver anniversary? The entertainment is what people will remember. I move around the room ensuring everyone gets a front-row seat to something impossible, injecting energy into the room so you can actually relax and enjoy your own party.

The VIP Mind Reading Parlour Experience

If you want something entirely different from the usual walkaround magic, this is it.

The VIP Mind Reading Parlour Experience is a dedicated, interactive mini-show. Imagine a private space at your venue where small groups are invited to sit down for a masterclass in psychological manipulation. I will read minds, influence decisions, and leave a room full of smart people wondering what on earth just happened. It is perfect for exclusive corporate retreats, VIP client evenings, or adding a unique twist to a high-end private party.

Local Magic Across Leicestershire

I travel all across the county to bring world-class entertainment to incredible spaces. Here are just a few of the areas and venues I frequently visit:

Leicestershire Area	Top Venues I Love Performing At
Loughborough & North	Prestwold Hall, The Hall Barns
Lutterworth & South	Kilworth House Hotel, Mythe Barn
Melton Mowbray & East	The Old Cow Shed, Stapleford Park
Leicester City Centre	The City Rooms, National Space Centre

Transparent Pricing & Unmatched Quality

I believe in totally transparent pricing. You shouldn't have to jump through hoops or sit on a sales call just to get a rough idea of the cost.

My fees range from £375 to £1,500.

Why the range? Because a two-hour close-up set at a local pub requires a different setup than a full-day wedding package or my VIP Parlour Experience at a massive corporate gala. When you hire me, you aren't paying for a cheap amateur act trying out new tricks. You are investing in a seasoned professional who guarantees incredible reactions, total reliability, and zero awkwardness.

Leicestershire Magician FAQ

What types of events do you entertain at across Leicestershire? +

I entertain at weddings, corporate dinners, milestone birthdays, and private anniversary celebrations all across Leicestershire. Whether you need strolling sleight of hand during welcome drinks on the lawns at Prestwold Hall, table-side psychological mind reading between courses at Kilworth House Hotel, or my VIP Mind Reading Parlour Experience for an executive gathering at Winstanley House, I shape every moment to suit your crowd. Having performed for organisations like the BBC, NHS, Selfridges, and the Commonwealth Games over my 20+ years in entertainment, my goal is always to get your guests laughing, talking, and astonished without getting in the way of your timeline.

Which venues have you worked at in Leicestershire? +

Over two decades performing around the East Midlands and Leicestershire, I have entertained at key venues and historic estates across the county. You will regularly find me performing across the stately rooms and grounds at Prestwold Hall near Loughborough, the Victorian orangery and suites at Kilworth House Hotel, the ballroom and parkland spaces at Winstanley House, and marquee celebrations at Keythorpe Manor. Because I know the room layouts, acoustics, and how local venue teams structure their dining service, you get smooth, stress-free entertainment that fits right into your day.

How much does it cost to hire you for an event in Leicestershire? +

My fees for Leicestershire bookings range from £375 to £1,500 depending on your event date, timing, expected guest numbers, and the style of performance you want. A daytime drinks reception mix-and-mingle session sits at the entry point of that scale, while comprehensive evening packages combining close-up table magic with my stand-up parlour mini-show sit towards the top. I believe in upfront pricing clarity, so you always receive a fixed, transparent quote from day one with no surprise extras.

Do you charge travel fees to perform across Leicestershire? +

No, I do not charge travel expenses for events in Leicestershire. Being based locally in the West Midlands, travelling across the M69, A5, or M1 into Leicestershire is part of my regular circuit. The figure quoted on your proposal is completely all-inclusive, covering my travel time, fuel, performance, and full preparation.

Are you insured and officially accredited to perform at Leicestershire venues? +

Yes, fully. Most country house hotels, stately homes, and corporate venues across Leicestershire require outside performers to provide proof of cover before stepping into the room. I carry £10M in Public Liability Insurance and hold the rank of Associate of The Inner Magic Circle with Silver Star (AIMC), an honour awarded through The Magic Circle for performance excellence. You can check my official credentials directly on The Magic Circle Profile Page and read through my 120+ 5-star Google reviews.
