Celebrations, With A Touch Of Magic

We all celebrate special occasions. There could be a religious event such as a Bar Mitzvah, First Communion or Christening, coming up. Or maybe you're on the committee for your leavers school ball, and have been tasked with arranging a black tie event. It could just be a celebration for the sake of celebrating. Whatever your event, I can offer you a magical experience to ensure that everyone will remember and talk of the day for a long time to come.

I have a range of options which can be booked separately or together to ensure that regardless of space, time or number of guests, everyone has an incredible experience.

Close-up Magic

Ideal for small gatherings of up to 150 people…
The most popular form of magic at these events is intimate close-up magic performed during your meal, or when you have groups of people mixing and mingling. Close-up magic is the most amazing and startling of all the types of magic, as it is performed right under the noses of your guests, inches from them, even in their hands. It is also one of the most skilful types of magic for these very reasons.

I am an award-winning close-up magician with years of experience in just about every different setting you can think of. I will baffle, amaze and amuse with my quick wit and sense of humour, whilst interacting with, and entertaining all your guests.

No two performances are ever the same. Watching close-up magic is perfect as an ice breaker for guests that may not know each other as it gives them a common experience that has them talking in no time.

Cabaret Show

Ideal for groups of 30 people or more…

Compliment the close-up Magic with my “Comedy Stand Up Show”. Your custom built show is action-packed, full of stunning magic and high-quality entertainment, that all your guests can enjoy together.
Can you imagine the astonishment on your friends’ faces as I escape Houdini style from shackles and padlocks placed on my wrists by the strongest guests you can provide?

Witness incredible mind-reading as I correctly read the minds of various guests, chosen at random, from around the room.
There is tons of comedy as your guests lose their property, watches, wallets, glasses and more into my locked magic box, but against the odds all is well in the end!

I will provide my own colourful scenery (space permitting) and sound equipment to ensure that all your guests see a “proper” show. How about adding some stage illusions? See a guest float in the air on the back of a chair, or saw a friend in half. All of this and lots more is possible.

You are guaranteed a show full of fun and laughter, along with the very strongest of magic that entertains all who see it. Your event will be the talk of the town, and those that miss out will regret it for a very long time.

Magic Workshop

Ideal for small groups of up to 20 people, aged 10+
If you will have a group of people (aged 10+) at the celebration then why not book a special magic workshop, just for them?

I will teach them, in small groups, some easy to perform (but none-the-less very strong) magic that they can go away and practise, and then perform shortly afterwards for their friends and family.

It could even ignite that spark of interest that could lead to a new hobby.

Close-Up and/Or Cabaret

As an award-winning magician with years of experience I would be happy to advise and help you choose the best combination of styles for the special event, and within budget. Regardless of the option(s) you select, I will baffle, amaze and amuse, whilst interacting with, and entertaining, all of your guests.

This magical Cabaret show can be booked with or without the close-up magic. They compliment each other very well to make your party a magical event, but also work well by themselves, so you can arrange just the cabaret show – anything from 10 to 45 minutes in length – or just the close-up magic if you prefer.

Community Events

If you are planning a large outdoor community event and require a magician to liven up the day’s activities then look no further.

Since 2017, I have compered and performed on stage at the Sanderstead Community Day. We always have a fantastic time and I was also asked to take over the organisation of booking the acts and creating a schedule which works for everyone and ensures there is no down time while the next act is setting up. If this service is one you would also like then I would be more than happy to discuss it with you.

Alternatively, I can be on the ground, mingling with the crowds and performing my award-winning close-up magic to astound and amaze them before sending them off to the next stall. I perform at annual events year after year, including the Brockham Victorian Fair and I would be delighted to add your event to my schedule.

Simply get in touch using the form at the bottom of the page to discuss what I can do for you.

Beer and Music Festivals

Are you the organiser of a music or beer festival looking for a magical stage act for the whole family to enjoy, or a walk-about magician to amaze and entertain the crowds at the back? I have experience entertaining at Godstoneberry, Oxted and Beer-Bop-a-Lula (Reigate) Beer festivals and I offer two different types of entertainment.

Mix and Mingle Magic

Mix and Mingle magic is perfect to keep the festival patrons happy. It is the most amazing and startling of all the types of magic, being performed right in front of them, allowing them to interact and join in.

I am an award-winning close-up magician with years of experience in just about every different setting you can think of. I will baffle, amaze and amuse your guests with my quick wit and sense of humour between acts and whilst they decide which stall or attraction to visit next.

Stage Show

Perfect if you have an entertainment tent or stage and a gap in the schedule between the afternoon and evening bands.

Your custom built show is action-packed, full of stunning magic and high-quality entertainment, perfectly pitched for a family audience.

Watch in astonishment as I escape Houdini style from shackles and padlocks placed on my wrists by the strongest visitors you can provide. Witness incredible mind-reading as I correctly read the minds of various people, chosen at random.

How about adding a stage illusion? See a patron float in the air on the back of a chair. All of this and lots more is possible.

You are guaranteed a show full of fun and laughter, along with the very strongest of magic that entertains all who see it.
