Hi Ian, I’d like to say a huge thank you for Friday. It was the first time we’ve done an ‘office party’ of this nature and it was really well received with everyone having a great time and I have had specific comments around how good the tricks that you performed were. It was a great ice breaker to kick off the event and I'll definitely keep you in mind for future events as I’ve got a feeling that we’ll be doing this again given how well it all went. More...

Great entertainment for a large party. Ian captivated everyone from a 5 year old to a 95 year old! He worked around the garden showing tricks to small groups and was never intrusive. A great way to get strangers mingling. Very professional and easy to deal with. I would not hesitate to recommend. More...

I’m so glad we hired Ian for my daughters christening. He made balloon animals for the children and then wowed the adults with his magic. All my guests kept commenting how great he was! I’m gutted I didn’t get to see any myself (as I was too busy running round sorting the catering out!) Very professional and a lovely guy. I will recommend you to all my friends. More...

Ian was very professional friendly and fun, He communicated effectively to ensure he delivered what we required from him on the day. He was punctual and well presented. His close up magic at individual tables was faultless and he geared his magic to the age groups of each table. My 2yr old twins were amazed by him. Overall I was very impressed and pleased with his professionalism and his act. I would definitely use him again and would recommend him. Thank You Ian. More...

Q&As

I've been interested in magic since I was a young boy. I started performing magic when I was 9 years old. Performing regularly at school at assembly and charity events. I had a real passion for learning and performing magic. In particular close up magic or slight of hand magic. So throughout my school years I was always performing when ever I could. I later turned professional and now perform magic for a living. I'm now a full time professional magician/ entertainer.

I'm a close/up table magician, Stage/Cabaret Magician and Children's Magician/entertainer.

Primarily, I’m a close/up magician who performs sleight of hand magic just like Dynamo and Jamie Raven on TV. My magic looks just like the real thing. It’s bags of fun, very visual and entertaining with a real WOW factor! Your guests will be laughing, having loads of fun and be totally amazed by my magic. Have a look at my performance videos and see what I can do at your event!

I love performing magic and entertaining clients and their guests.

Helping make parties a really memorable occasion for my clients and their guests.

I love what magic can do for people. I would like to think that I add, astonishment, laughter and lots of fun at all my events. Giving all my clients and their guests the Wow factor and a fun time.

I’m the best magician and performer.

Excellent value for money!

I can tailor my performance to fit your event requirements.

Both adults and children love my magic.

I'm very passionate about making every event a huge success for all my clients.

Take a look at my 5 star reviews from past clients, who also think that I’m the best magician too!

Also, have a look at my performance videos and judge for yourself!

Many of my clients are private individuals having a celebration of some kind.

But, I have also worked for many corporate clients and companies such as BMW, Lloyds Bank, EE, NHS, Wiko, Argos, McDonalds, Revolution Bars, Shell UK, Manchester United & City FC, Liverpool FC to name but a few, and many other small businesses.
