Hi, I’m Phil Taylor. If you’re looking for a magician in Birmingham who delivers genuine astonishment without the cheesy velvet jacket, dated props, or awkward one-liners, you are in the right place.

Holding the rank of Associate of The Inner Magic Circle (AIMC) with a Silver Star—a level achieved by only a select tier of magicians worldwide—I don’t just show people quick tricks. I create an intimate, VIP parlour experience right under your guests’ noses, blending master card manipulation with sharp, engaging psychological demonstrations that leave people utterly floored.

Whether performing for VIPs at Selfridges, working with the BBC, entertaining crowds at the Commonwealth Games, or delivering bespoke corporate entertainment for major national brands, I treat your event’s reputation with the highest level of professionalism.

With £10M in public liability insurance and over 120+ five-star Google reviews from couples, private hosts, and event planners, you get complete peace of mind from inquiry to the final applause. Let’s make your next private party or event an experience everyone will be talking about for years.

Universal Astonishment Across Birmingham’s Diverse Celebrations

Birmingham is one of the most vibrant, multicultural cities in the world, and my work takes me into the heart of that diversity every single week. On any given weekend, I could be providing refined, ice-breaking entertainment at a traditional country house wedding, and by evening, holding court in front of 400 guests at an electric British-Asian wedding reception, a milestone private party, or an exclusive black-tie gala.

Different traditions, different cultural backgrounds—yet the reaction is always universal. Magic cuts straight through language and formalities to get a room of strangers laughing, reacting, and connecting.

Birmingham Magician FAQ

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

I regularly perform at weddings, corporate banquets, award dinners, and milestone private parties right across the city. Whether you need mix-and-mingle sleight of hand during drinks at The Grand Hotel on Colmore Row, table-side psychological mind reading during dinner at Highbury Hall, or my VIP Mind Reading Parlour Experience for an executive gathering at The Cube, I adapt the style to fit your room. Having entertained for organisations like the BBC, NHS, and Selfridges, I know how to keep guests talking and laughing without breaking the flow of your evening.

Which venues have you performed at in Birmingham? +

Over my 20+ years performing, I have entertained at almost every major venue across the city. A few local favourites include The Botanical Gardens in Edgbaston, Fazeley Studios in Digbeth, Villa Park, and the Library of Birmingham. I know the layouts, loading areas, and event teams at these locations inside out, which means zero stress for you on the day.

How much does it cost to hire you for a Birmingham event? +

My fees for Birmingham events range from £375 to £1,500 depending on the date, the number of guests, and the performance package you choose. A drinks reception mix-and-mingle session sits at the lower end of that scale, while full-evening packages combining close-up magic with my stand-up parlour show sit towards the top. I believe in upfront transparency, so you will always receive a clear, fixed quote with no hidden extras.

Do you charge extra travel fees for events in Birmingham? +

No. Because I am based locally in the West Midlands, I do not charge travel expenses for events within Birmingham. The quote you receive covers my travel, preparation time, performance, and complete peace of mind.

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

Yes, fully. Most Birmingham venues require proof of insurance before granting access to outside entertainment. I carry £10M in Public Liability Insurance and hold the rank of Associate of The Inner Magic Circle with Silver Star (AIMC). You can verify my credentials on The Magic Circle Profile Page or check out my 120+ 5-star Google reviews.
