The Magic Circle Guarantee
Let's be honest. Booking entertainment is a gamble. You want someone who will genuinely amaze your guests, not an amateur who leaves them politely clapping and checking their watches.
I am Phil Taylor, and for over 20 years, I have made a living out of making the impossible happen right in people's hands.
I am incredibly proud to hold the rank of Associate of The Inner Magic Circle with a Silver Star. This is the highest degree awarded by examination in the world's most famous magic society. It means my sleight of hand, interactive mind reading, and ability to command a room have been rigorously tested and verified by the absolute best in the industry.
When I walk into your wedding, you are getting the exact same high-impact entertainment I trust to deliver for clients like the BBC, Selfridges, and the NHS. No awkward silences. No cheesy rabbit-in-a-hat gimmicks. Just genuine astonishment and roars of laughter from your closest friends and family.
If you want absolute peace of mind that your guests are in expert hands, checking my official profile at The Magic Circle is the perfect place to start.

The Drinks Reception
Let's be honest, while you are off looking incredible for the photographer, your guests are usually clutching a glass of prosecco and awkwardly talking about the weather. I step right into the middle of those circles. Within seconds, polite nods turn into actual belly laughs and wide-eyed gasps as impossible magic happens right in their hands. It shatters the ice and instantly sets a brilliant tone for the rest of the day.
The Wedding Breakfast
The waiting time around the meal is a notorious energy killer. I fix that. I target the natural lulls—like the wait for starters or the gap before dessert—performing interactive mind reading and sharp sleight of hand right at their seats. But I always step back during the main course so your guests can enjoy their hot food completely uninterrupted. It’s about perfect timing, not intruding.
The Evening Reception
That tricky twilight zone after the meal but before the DJ hits their stride? That is my playground. I bring your fresh evening arrivals and your well-fed day guests together through shared moments of complete disbelief. It gets everyone hyped, energized, and fully primed to hit the dance floor.
