Event Magic Tailored to You
Wedding Magic
Your wedding day should be the best party you ever throw. I step in during those notorious lulls, like the photo hour or the transition before the evening reception, to keep the energy electric. I mix and mingle with your family and friends, breaking the ice with impossible sleight of hand right under their noses.
Private Milestone Parties
Whether it is a 40th birthday bash or a golden anniversary, a great party needs a talking point. I move through the room, creating small crowds of laughing, cheering guests. It is the perfect way to get people off their phones and genuinely interacting with each other.
Local Magic Across Oldham
I regularly perform at top venues across the Oldham area. If you are booking a space locally, I already know how to work the room.

Transparent Pricing & Unmatched Quality
Hiring a magician is an investment in the atmosphere of your event. Cheap, amateur acts can easily kill the vibe of a room. I bring decades of professional experience to ensure your party is remembered for the right reasons.
My packages range from £375 to £1,500 depending on the date, the length of the performance, and the style of magic you choose. I am always completely upfront about costs because I want you to know exactly what incredible value you are getting.
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you only do weddings, or are you available for private parties too?
I perform for weddings, private parties, and corporate events. My style is ideal for close-up magic because it works in almost any venue or room layout.
How long should I book you for?
It depends on your guest count and timings. Smaller events can be perfect with a shorter booking, while weddings and larger events often benefit from longer coverage so more guests experience the magic naturally.
Do you need a stage or microphone?
No. Close-up magic happens right in front of your guests with no technical setup required.
Will you embarrass guests or put people on the spot?
No. It’s interactive but always comfortable—participation is friendly and optional, and the aim is to make guests feel great.
Do you perform at corporate events?
Yes. Close-up magic is a brilliant icebreaker for networking, awards nights, and client events because it gives people something instant to talk about. If you’re planning a festive event, see my Christmas party magician page.
How much does it cost to hire you?
Every event is different based on date, location, guest count, and timing. As a guide, fees start from GBP 375 and go up depending on requirements. Send your details and I’ll reply with options.
Are you insured?
Yes—professionalism matters, and I carry public liability insurance so you can book with confidence.
