Event Magic Tailored to You
Weddings
Your wedding day is all about you, and my job is to keep your guests entertained while you are busy with photos or catching your breath. I mingle during the drinks reception or between courses, ensuring no one is left standing awkwardly.
Corporate Events
From trade shows to end-of-year galas, I provide high-impact entertainment that gets your brand noticed. I use sleight of hand and psychological mind reading to draw crowds and leave a lasting impression on your clients and staff.

Whether it is a 40th birthday, a silver anniversary, or a garden party, I bring the wow factor directly to your guests' hands.
The VIP Mind Reading Parlour Experience
If you want something truly unique, my VIP Mind Reading Parlour Experience is the answer. This is an interactive mini-show designed for smaller groups.

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.
