Martin provided entertainment for my wife's 40th birthday. Just a small family gathering, but very memorable thanks to Martins superb skills both with magic and mind reading. Catered for both adults and kids in the group well and included everyone in the act. We were all thoroughly captivated and blown away. Would highly recommend. More...

Martin astonished us all with his skill at our Summer Social. Entertaining 50 sceptical women was a challenge he met and surpassed. In seconds he had taken hold of the room and for over an hour he surprised and perplexed us all. Thank you Martin we will talk about this event with pleasure and delight.

Martin is absolutely incredible at what he does! I first met him at a friends wedding a couple of years ago and instantly knew he needed to be apart of mine. He subtly mingles around the wedding guests sharing his magic tricks and then you hear a ‘wow’ or ‘omg’ or ‘no way’. Our guests absolutely loved him! The two hour time slot fitted perfectly into our schedule for the day. Not only is Martin super talented at what he does, he’s also a really nice human inside and out. Would highly recommend!!

Have booked Martin twice this year for 2 private parties. He is amazing but what makes Martin extra special for me, is his ability to bring a room of strangers together which then makes the party truly start. Can’t recommend him highly enough. Appropriate for all ages and characters. An absolute essential for any party I’ll ever throw now. More...

We were lucky enough to have Martin at our Wedding on the 11th June. From the moment he arrived the energy in the room lifted, it was wonderful to sit back and watch everyone's faces as the tricks were performed, they truly couldn't believe what they were seeing! Laughter and applause followed him around the room and everyone was talking about the magic long after he had left, comparing notes and trying to work out how he did it! I would recommend him to anyone and I'm hoping to be able to enjoy his magic again in the future. We felt so special and everyone said they had never seen such a great magician and he should be on TV. Thank you for helping to make our day magical xxxxx Rebecca and Scott Atkinson x More...

I could not recommend Martin more! He performed at our wedding two weeks ago and was absolutely fantastic!! We had to rearrange our wedding three times due to Covid and Martin changed our booking every time with no problems at all. He couldn’t have been more helpful from when I first met him at a wedding fair all the way up until the day! On the day we were running behind and Martin stayed for extra time which we were so grateful for! Everyone was mesmerised by the magic and I couldn’t be more pleased we made the decision to book with Martin! Thank you SO much Martin!! More...

Why aren’t you on the Telly? Martin blew everyone away time and time again at my 30th party. He really is incredible. It was really special to have him at my informal party just at my house and it was so nice how he got stuck in, even in the crowded kitchen impressing all of my family and friends. To make it even more amazing, Martin put together a whole trick to be able to give me a message and a rose from my boyfriend who booked him all the way from the states! More...

A 60th birthday in Sheringham- never had this experience before, of a magician tirelessly and with great humour, entertaining and mystifying each group around the room. Martin is warm, so, so clever and just a great addition to an event. I'd fully recommend his amazing performance to liven up most occasions. Can't praise him enough. Really good fun and such intelligent sophistication. My mind has been opened. More...

Q&As

Like most magicians, I've practiced and performed magic since I was boy. Being able to entertain and be part of peoples weddings or events with close up magic is a real privilege, and it provides something that guests remember for years to come.

Mix and mingle close up magic effects, sleight of hand etc with cards, coins, everyday objects. Primarily this is perfect for parties, wedding receptions, black tie balls or corporate events.
Mind reading effects also if preferred.
30-45 minute performances to groups of people also possible with a mix of magic and mindreading effects.

It's not about the magic - it's about magic as entertainment. There is a huge difference between 'someone doing some magic tricks' and a professional magician. You are hiring a magician with experience of hundreds of similar bookings and events to ensure that your guests have the maximum level of enjoyment.
