Alan came to my 75th birthday party to entertain guests aged between 2 and 81 and he was absolutely brilliant. He kept my six grandchildren intrigued by his magic and even the adults were amazed. Thank you Alan I will certainly recommend you to everyone and anyone enquiring about a magician. So polite too! More...

My social group booked Alan to celebrate a function to celebrate the four years since we began.
The booking was very easy and Alan also contacted us a few days before to check that all was well.
He arrived in good time and was charming throughout.
We were arranged at tables and Alan moved from group to group during the course of the evening.
Despite watching carefully, none of us could see how he performed his magic. Every trick was greeted with whoops and laughter and Alan appeared to be enjoying it as much as we did.
Everyone said it was the best event yet and we would have no hesitation in booking him again or in recommending him for any occasion.
He was just amazing!!!
How did he do it - it must have been real magic?!

Alan is an mazing entertainer. Booked for a wedding in Southampton and no complaints at all. Around 120 guest all commented that he was amazing going from table to table with gasps every time. Even asked if he could perform to the bride before he left as he was conscious she had been too busy all day for him to see her. Attention to detail perfect, well presented and very professional. I will definitely be using Alan again. Thankyou so much for a great performance and may I add at a very reasonable price😘 More...

“Alan performed at our wedding and made a great impression from the start. He is approachable with a gentle manner, his skills as a magician are exceptional, and his presence on the day provided all with mesmerising entertainment.
We would certainly recommend Alan for any wedding and look forward to him working with us for any suitable events in the future.

We held a garden party celebrating 60th birthdays: 21st birthday: 25 wedding anniversary - Alan was fantastic. Really impressive magic which entertained students and adults alike. He went around to all the groups and was particularly attentive to the one 5 year old at the party! Incredibly professional and also a fantastic magician - we recommend him highly. More...

How long have you been interested in magic?
I been a magician since I was 6 years old. As a teenager I started adult winning magic competitions and appearing on magic convention gala shows.
I left school to become a full-time professional and haven't looked back. My career has been varied, with a stage act that has taken me around the world appearing on exclusive cruise ships, clubs and theatres, close-up magic at corporate and private events and even a special show for children.
Take us through your show – what can we expect?
Many of my bookings are for close-up magic. Truly amazing magic that happens right before your very eyes...and sometimes in your own hands too!
My close-up magic is fun as well as magical. Watch my video showreel and see how much my audiences are laughing, as well as their gasps of amazement. I aim to create a memorable event for all.
I make sure that your guests will have great time and remember the fun they had for a very long time.
What do you love most about your job?
I do not see my work as a job...I love it! I love bringing magic into people's lives and helping my clients and their guests have an event that they'll remember.
I am very fortunate to travel and appear in all manner of venues and destinations and have the opportunity to meet people from all walks of life.
It's very rewarding to hear feedback from clients and knowing that I have helped them create wonderful memories...
What inspired you to start your own business?
I've always wanted to be a magician...many people told me why I shouldn't, or couldn't. I decided at 14 years of age, that I should decide for myself, or maybe live to regret not at least trying.
Why should our clients choose you?
I know it sounds corny, but I really do want my clients to have a successful event and will do my utmost to make sure this happens.
I believe that my many years of experience gained performing worldwide in clubs, theatres, television, restaurants, military & corporate events, weddings and private parties makes me an excellent choice of entertainer.
Close-up/Walkabout Magic
Close-up magic happens right before your very eyes!
I perform this kind of magic to guests at tables during a meal or Walkabout style at parties and receptions.
Suitable for young and old, I perform indoors or outdoors, require no special staging or performance area and I can adapt to suit all occasions.
Contact me to find out how I can help you.
Stage Show
I have vast experience as a stage performer and can devise a show for your event.
Maybe I can perform close-up magic at a drinks reception and then a formal show for your guests after dinner?
