Magician Cannock | Phil Taylor AIMC
I believe great event entertainment should be sophisticated, razor-sharp, and completely down to earth. I am not an agency middleman or a hobbyist pulling foam rabbits from a velvet hat. For over 20 years, I have performed modern close-up magic and psychological mind reading across Staffordshire and the West Midlands, creating genuine jaw-dropping moments right under people's noses.
I hold the honour of being an Associate of The Inner Magic Circle with Silver Star, a distinction awarded to a select group of performers worldwide. Over the years, I have delivered entertainment for major brands including the BBC, Selfridges, the NHS, and the Commonwealth Games. With £10M Public Liability Insurance, you get complete peace of mind knowing your event entertainment is in safe, professional hands.

Event Magic Tailored to You
Wedding Magic
The drinks reception and the lull between the wedding breakfast and evening reception can leave guests waiting around. I mingle naturally among your family and friends, sparking conversations, generating massive laughs, and pulling everyone into the celebration before the party even hits the dance floor.
Corporate Events & Dinners
Whether you are rewarding your team, hosting an annual awards dinner, or entertaining top clients, your event entertainment reflects directly on your business reputation. I deliver polished, high-calibre magic and mentalism that breaks the corporate ice and keeps the room engaged.
Milestone Birthday & Anniversary Parties
From 30th and 40th birthdays to golden wedding anniversaries, milestone celebrations need a focal point that brings different generations together. My interactive close-up magic works right in your guests' hands, giving everyone shared memories they will rave about long after the music stops.
The VIP Mind Reading Parlour Experience
A private, speakeasy-style mini-show designed for high-impact gatherings.
Your guests step away from the bustle into a dedicated private room. For 20 to 30 intense minutes, the outside world stops. I don't just do card tricks here; I pull exact memories out of thin air, reveal secret PIN codes, and leave even your most cynical friends staring blankly at the wall wondering what just happened.
-
Intimate & Immersive: Formatted specifically for small groups of 10 to 30 guests at a time.
-
Pure Psychological Wonder: No tacky props or rehearsed gags. Just sophisticated, razor-sharp mind reading.
-
Unstoppable Buzz: Word travels fast across the room, building anticipation and a queue of eager guests.

Transparent Pricing & Unmatched Quality
Quality entertainment is an investment in how your guests remember your day. You can hire a cheap hobbyist, but an amateur who flubs a sleight or misjudges an audience can flatten the energy of an entire room.
My performance packages typically range between £375 and £1,500, depending on performance duration, guest numbers, travel logistics, and whether you choose walkaround magic, the VIP Parlour Experience, or full evening entertainment. Every quote is fixed, completely transparent, and backed by two decades of professional experience.
