Table Magician | Phil Taylor AIMC
Sit-down dinners should never suffer from awkward pauses or flat energy between courses. When you bring your favourite guests together around a dining table, the atmosphere ought to be vibrant, warm, and memorable.
I am Phil Taylor AIMC, an Associate of The Inner Magic Circle with Silver Star. For over 20 years, I have performed close-up table magic and mind reading for private dinner parties, black-tie corporate galas, and weddings. Having performed for the BBC, Selfridges, the NHS, and the Commonwealth Games, I know how to walk up to any table of polite diners and turn polite small talk into sudden laughter, gasps, and shared conversation.
Every single performance carries £10 Million Public Liability Insurance, ensuring you and your venue are fully protected.
- ✔ Associate of The Inner Magic Circle with Silver Star awarded for performance excellence.

"Phil made our dinner completely unforgettable. Every table was roaring with laughter before the main course even arrived. Booking him was the best decision we made for the entire evening."— Mark R., Event Organiser
Event Magic Tailored to You
Wedding Breakfast Table Magic
The wedding breakfast has natural lulls while the kitchen plates dishes and clears service. I step in between courses, treating each table to its own private mini-show. It introduces guests who have never met before, breaks the ice, and keeps energy high while you relax and enjoy your meal.
Corporate Dinners & Awards Galas
Awards evenings and company banquets need entertainment that respects the room. I share sharp sleight of hand and psychological mind reading that engages your guests without disrupting catering staff, award announcements, or planned speeches.
Private Milestone Parties & Intimate Dinners
Celebrating an anniversary, big birthday, or gathering 10 to 40 guests for dinner? Table-side magic gives everyone front-row participation right by their glasses, turning an ordinary meal into an unforgettable celebration.
Exclusive Entertainment Format
The VIP Mind Reading Parlour Experience
Want an exclusive entertainment format for your guests? In addition to moving table to table, I present The VIP Mind Reading Parlour Experience.
This is a 30 to 45 minute interactive mini-show created for private dining suites and executive dinners. Instead of moving between separate groups, your entire party shares one collective experience of psychological influence, intuition, and coincidences. I reveal locked phone passwords, read hidden memories, and duplicate drawings sealed in envelopes.

I entertain at luxury hotels, countryside estates, and dining venues nationwide. Here is how table magic fits into different event setups:
| Event Setting | Notable Venues | Best Timing for Magic |
|---|---|---|
| Luxury City Dinners | The Savoy, The Dorchester | Between courses during multi-course tasting menus |
| Resort & Golf Banquets | The Belfry Hotel & Resort | Following the starter service and before dessert |
| Country House Weddings | Babington House, Moxhull Hall | Throughout the wedding breakfast between courses |
| Historic City Venues | Chester Grosvenor, Fazeley Studios | During courses and directly before evening speeches |
| Private Dining Clubs | City Centre Private Dining Rooms | As an interactive feature alongside dinner service |
Transparent Pricing & Unmatched Quality
Booking top-level entertainment should be clear and stress-free. I share my pricing clearly rather than making you jump through sales hoops.
My standard fees range from £375 to £1,500, depending on the event date, venue location, total guest numbers, and whether you book table-side entertainment or add The VIP Mind Reading Parlour Experience.
Hiring an inexperienced hobbyist might look cheaper, but your meal is too important to risk on awkward jokes and poorly timed interruptions. When you book a recognised performer from The Magic Circle, you get two decades of crowd expertise, polished pacing, and astonishing magic that leaves your guests thanking you for weeks.
