John provided a magic performance at my husbands 50th party. He had everyone in the room flummoxed with his amazing skills, making holes in coins disappear, card tricks galore not one person in the room knew how the magic happened, it just did. On top of this John held a tutorial for those interested and now there are more mudding magicians in the land young and young at heart John did all of this with kindness, amazing skill and support for the party in general.

After meeting John at an event a few years ago, he was one of the first services I wanted to book for our wedding. John was excellent in his communication throughout the build up and wanted to make sure he got everything right for us by knowing timings and the structure of the day. We were amazed by his abilities and he had all of our guests in awe of his tricks too. We are so glad we booked John and would definitely recommend him to anyone! More...

We recently hired John for my husband's 40th birthday party, and instantly warmed to his wonderful manner. His communication throughout the booking process was excellent, and he was very thorough in ensuring that it would all go smoothly on the night. And it definitely did! On arrival the guests were instantly drawn to his warm and charming manner, and his magic was brilliant! He engaged with all the guests effortlessly, and left them absolutely amazed by his magic....some of whom are still trying to figure it out! Thank you so much John:) More...

I found John via a search engine and right from the start, his warm and responsive communication marked him out as a true professional. I really appreciated the options he offered in terms of his service and was particularly attracted to the idea of the tutorials, because my husband loves magic. John arrived when the (adult) party was in full-swing and he joined in with the energy straight away, mingling beautifully and generating much mirth and wonder in the small groups of party-goers he gathered together. My feeling was that he stayed with us until there was no-one else to surprise, rather than leaving at his 'allotted time'. I'd definitely recommend John and his contribution lives on in our household, with a marvellous little trick I can now do, when I want to show off! Thanks so much John, you were a star! More...

We hired John for our Christmas Works Party dinner and he was great with some impressive magic! Apart from this, he is generally just such a lovely guy and wanted to know as much information as possible prior to the event so he could prepare his show accordingly, which he did. Good communication throughout, and generally just very easy to engage with which makes my life much easier! Highly recommend. More...

John's style of entertainment was just perfect for my 60th birthday party. I can't thank him enough. The party was an outdoor garden venue. Guests were both seated and mingling. John moved around the garden entertaining everyone in small groups, seated or standing. We were all amazed by his tricks, it was magic! I have received so much positive feedback from my guests who were put at ease by John's easy manner. He communicated extremely well with me prior to the party and explained everything very clearly so I knew exactly what to expect. In fact, he exceeded all expectations. I highly recommend him. Thank you John! More...

We engaged Jon to entertain our guests at out Daughters wedding, he was very professional in all communication prior to the wedding and on the day turned up as agreed. John entertained the guests while the photographers were taking their photo's selecting those not chosen for certain shots to keep everyone happy. Prior to the wedding meal and speeches John circulated amongst the guests baffling all of them with his close up magic. In face some of the guests asked him for more, and put the next course of food on hold! When it cam the the happy couple John produced a spectacular trick involving red hearts to which the bride was completely spell bound as to how he achieved it. John made the afternoon go well and we would highly recommend him for your wedding. More...

My business team had not met face to face for over a year due to all the Covid restrictions, including some new staff who had not met all the team. I was looking for something special to make the day memorable and bring the team together into a shared experience. John rose to the challenge, starting with some card tricks in the lounge after lunch and then in to our meeting room with his full show. He engaged well with the team, involving them all during the show, providing opportunities to be involved in the magic. To finish the show we were then taught some simple tricks with rubber bands and a pack of cards - very revealing with an opportunity for all to succeed. The buzz from my team was great, the chatter the next day showed that it had made a difference to the team meeting, and a week later we are still talking about the magic, although most of us have not stopped practicing. Highly recommended and thoroughly enjoyable couple of hours. More...

We hired John to do some magic at our Over 60s Friendship Group. He was brilliant :) He started off going around the tables of members doing some close up magic (which the members were completely flabbergasted by) and then moved onto his show from the front. He engaged with our members the whole time - involving them in his tricks. The members are still talking about it weeks later. John himself was very professional, communication before the event was great and I would not hesitate to recommend him. More...

We organised an adult party using a couple of chartered carriages on the Great Central Railway. We felt a need to entertain our guests and decided a magician was what we needed. Using a website for entertainers we found several but the reply we received from John was so professional and understanding of our needs he was selected. He was excellent, not having performed on a train before he adapted his tricks to the environment perfectly. Our guests all commented positively on his interactions. He did not detract from the primary reason for the party but added enormously to it. He is highly recommended by us. More...

We commissioned John for our student society ball with an expected attendance in the region of 200. 300 ticket sales later (! ) he joined us, completely un-phased and charmed everyone with acts that even close up we were completely at a loss to explain. Not a mean fete with an audience of that many scientists! During welcome drinks and general socialising he milled around in the welcome area enchanting everyone and generating quite a crowd. As we moved through to dinner, he performed at the tables but at all times was considerate and sensitive to mood. He communicated well in advance, advising us on the best ways to get the most out of our evening, arrived well before time and was an absolute pleasure to work with. We would thoroughly recommend you contact him to discuss your events, big or small. Thank you John, it was a pleasure! Rematch soon! More...

I booked John for Mercedes-Benz of Birmingham's 1st of March new car handover event. We wanted the day to be memorable for our customers when they collected their new cars but we wanted them to take away a memory of the day also. John entertained our customers in the sales and aftersales departments all day performing close up magic which they thoroughly enjoyed. He left them with branded souvenirs to take away which helped spread the word of the experience they had. As Sales Manager at Mercedes-Benz of Birmingham I would highly recommend John and will be using him in the future. More...

How long have you been interested in magic?
Virtually all my life; watched a magician on TV as a boy and got my first magic book through school book club when I was 12. Took it all further from there!
Take us through your show – what can we expect?
Top-quality magic entertainment is delivered to leave everyone thoroughly entertained and talking about what they have just seen and experienced. There are various options - the most popular choice being for 'close up' magic. I do also offer an optional 'stand up' comedy magic show as well. This is a 'floor show' so no elaborate equipment is used and it fits very easily into events with under 60 guests. 'Close up' magic as you probably know is to your guests when they are at dinner tables but also beforehand before dinner when they are standing around chatting informally with a drink (for weddings this extends to magic during photographs). Magic at this stage is a great 'ice breaker'!
Everything is performed in a fun, engaging manner and the close up magic is from the repertoires of top magicians that you have seen on TV as well as my own original routines.
What do you love most about your job?
Causing amazement and laughter - Making people happy.
I enjoy interacting with guests 'close up' to engage and entertain them. I enjoy the fact that I really 'connect' with people through my magic because they seem to like my personality and they get very involved and entertained.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I had been doing magic semi-professionally alongside a high-level professional job for a long time. I went full time because I realised that I felt I needed to keep growing as a performer and as an artist. So I needed to devote more time to practice & performing and also to the marketing and the business side of things.
I have always had an entrepreneurial streak. I come from a small business family and so I guess it is in the blood to 'do my own thing'!
Why should our clients choose you?
> amazing magic, delivered in polished and professional ways
> very engaging style - friendly and witty
> full time professional (95% are p/t including Magic Circle members)
> Specialist for weddings, adult birthdays and business events - best experience
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
I now offer entertainment over 'Zoom'! This can be for private family parties or for business events. Previous experience as a lecturer and trainer was useful and helped to make my delivery very good.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
1) Social distancing - all small props sanitised
2) Guests do not have to handle any of them
2) I have been double vaccinated
3) Entertainment offered online via Zoom
