How long have you been interested in magic?
I have been interested in magic since a child but to be honest could never work out the instructions. I became reinterested later in life and now have 20 year experience in entertaining people
Take us through your show – what can we expect?
Comedy magic with spectator and audience interaction. I pride myself on never making fools of volunteers and treating them with respect at all times. This is my mantra be it adults of children. I want everybody to have fun and be comfortable.
What do you love most about your job?
Meeting people. People are magical, tricks are not. Its a shared moment of wonder and joy between people. On occasion I do get strangers coming up to me and remembering my gigs with smiles and laughter, thanking me for sharing a moment with them at an event years earlier. When this stops happening then I will know its time to hang up my wand.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Magic is a team effort, you get good by interacting with other magicians and honing your craft. That said the only way you can operate is by being self employed. Magic is actually a very expensive hobby so to be honest I started doing paid work to keep the wife happy.
Why should our clients choose you?
20 years of experience and knowledge. There are not that many bad magicians out there, so to be honest choose who you want. I get enough work through recommendation and don't feel I am in competition with others. I do stive to make every show slightly better than the last, minimal gains, improving constantly. I enjoy honest feedback. I want to elevate the art as a whole. I work with groups of magicians where as a team we make each others magic more powerful purely because as professionals that's what we should be doing. If they are qualities you admire then give me a call...
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
I have done zoom shows, but magic works best in person.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
Followed all the protocols, I have worked with vulnerable adults and children, worked in nursing homes etc so understand the issues that are raised with spreading disease.
Children's (Kids) Magician
Magic shows for birthday parties 4 years and older. Also available for schools, clubs and events
Comedy Stage Magician
Stage shows for all age groups, adults, events etc. Great for festivals, family birthdays, anniversaries. Club or society events a speciality
Close up and table magic
Great magic up close and personal, around tables or strolling. great for all kinds of events especially weddings and corporate. A great way to introduce your guests to each other to make your event truly memorable.
Parlour Magic / lectures
Sitting somewhere between stage and close up this style is great for smaller groups. I can also do specialist shows such as the "history of magic" where I show people the magical classics with a modern twist.
