We asked Paul to perform at the drinks reception of our wedding at grand Villa heights and we are so pleased he agreed! We have had so many compliments on his performance and the fact that he was just a genuinely lovely man. He was great with my little cousin, even teaching him a few tricks which he was performing to our guests all night for a small fee of £1, the kid made a fortune! Honestly Paul thank you so much for bringing a touch of magic to our day we are so grateful that you could come and perform for our friends and family and hopefully we will be seeing you soon at some more family events!

Had Paul as the magician at our wedding at South Causey and he was unbelievable. Every guest was blown away — genuinely mind-blowing tricks and people are still talking about him. My niece who's 8 literally followed him around like his assistant and now she believes she's magic, thanks to Paul being amazing with her 🤩 He added such a great buzz to the day. Would recommend Paul to absolutely everyone! I would also like to compliment him on how smartly dressed he was too 😁 thanks again. from Carla & Peter x More...

Paul joined us for my mams 50th birthday party but I have also seen him perform his magic at other events too and i can honestly say he blows not only mine but the whole rooms mind everytime. . you will never get bored of seeing just how amazing his magic is to the point people still talk about him days later. Not only that he is the most kind, down to earth person you will ever meet. He doesnt just “perform”, he naturally becomes part of the day with family and friends and is always so happy for whoevers celebration it is. Highly recommend him for any parties, weddings, childrens birthdays 😊🎉 More...

Paul was an absolutely amazing host at my son’s recent 4th birthday party. It goes without saying his magic was tremendous and had not just the kids captivated but the adults too! Paul engaged and led the party for a full 2hrs with the magic, party games and dancing - which is no mean feast with 30 kids all under the age of 5! Paul made it soooo fun for everyone. It was inclusive and engaging and he had thought of everything - even the losers of each kids party game felt like winners! His experience as an entertainer came through loud & clear and compared to other similar kids parties this was stand out. He made the birthday boy feel very special throughout the party and catered to our every need. Doing a video call ahead of time, helped us prepare, aKuhn and be organised together. A total seamless kids party of which I would use Paul again in a heartbeat! Thanks Paul you exceed our every expectation More...

⭐ Absolutely phenomenal—Paul is a must-have for any event, any age group ⭐ We recently had the pleasure of experiencing Paul’s magic at my cousin’s wedding, and I genuinely can’t recommend him highly enough. From the afternoon into the evening, he captivated guests with an incredible range of illusions—each one more baffling and brilliant than the last. No matter how closely I watched, I couldn’t begin to unravel his secrets, and that’s part of the magic: the sheer variety and finesse of his performance. What truly sets Paul apart is his impeccable timing. He doesn’t barge into conversations or dominate the room—he reads the moment perfectly, stepping in just when the energy calls for a spark, and leaving everyone smiling in his wake. And then there’s his gift with children. Paul doesn’t just entertain them—he engages them. He had a whole repertoire tailored just for the kids, and my son was absolutely enchanted. He followed Paul around like a second shadow, and rather than being put off, Paul welcomed him in, making him the magician’s assistant for the day. My son was beaming, and it’s a memory he’ll treasure for years. If you’re planning any kind of gathering and want to elevate it from great to unforgettable—hire Paul. You won’t regret it. More...

I messaged Paul on the off chance if he was able to help and he worked his magic - literally to be able to come and host bongos bingo for us. He also did some magic which to this day still blows my mind! We all had the best time and after all the stress I definitely believe sometimes happen for a reason and Paul was meant to be! More...

Paul performed his fantastic magic at our Wedding yesterday. He travelled 3 hours in storm conditions to our venue and we cant thank him enough for that. Firstly what an absolutely lovely down to earth person, fitted in just like our family and friends. Paul wowed all ages from 2 to over 80 with card magic and mind reading. All our family and friends have been talking about not knowing "how he does it" and how their "mind is boggled". Paul was the perfect entertainment and we cant thank him enough, he worked the room perfectly and the children loved his tricks too. We now need to think of a different event we can have so we can re-book! i want to see more. Thanks so much again xx More...

How long have you been interested in magic?
All my life! I watched Paul Daniels on TV when I was a child and my love for magic grew from there!
Take us through your show – what can we expect?
I will provide you and your guests with a unique blend of card magic, mind reading, mentalism, and laughter!
As well as weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, chariry events and business and corporate events, I’ve also performed my magic at children’s parties and care homes, so my magic is suitable for all ages, from 3 years old, through to 103!
What do you love most about your job?
I love seeing the reactions on people’s faces; the gaping mouths, the ‘Wow’ expressions, the looks of bewilderment, and the very common “How did you do that??!!” question (often with an expletive or two added in :-/)!
I really enjoy entertaining people with my magic. Magic has the ability to bring people together and everybody has a great time.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I took voluntary redundancy from the corporate company that I’d worked at for 24 years. I’ve always loved magic and hugely enjoyed it as a hobby. So I saw my redundancy as a sign and it became the catalyst for me to change direction and do something I love and that I’m passionate about (magic!), for the rest of my career!
It’s safe to say I am thoroughly enjoying my change in career. I love performing my magic for others!
Why should our clients choose you?
I will provide you and your guests with a unique blend of card magic, mind reading, mentalism and laughter. Minds will be blown!
Please check out my many positive reviews and you will see what my previous customers say about me and my magic.
If you book me, you and your guests will definitely not be disappointed.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes, I can provide my magic services remotely, if required/preferred, through the likes of Zoom, Microsoft Teams etc.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
A lot of my magic can be performed ‘at distance’ if required. It can also be performed ‘hands off’, so that those watching and participating do not have to handle my playing cards or magic props if they don’t want to.
First class magic
I am a highly sought after, award winning wedding & events magician, based in the North East of England, near Newcastle upon Tyne. I was recently named Magician of the Year for the North East & Yorkshire Region for 2024/2025, at the prestigious Wedding Industry Awards (TWIA).
I specialise in close up, ‘mix & mingle’ magic, using a blend of card magic, mind reading and mentalism. I will guarantee to put smiles on faces and bring joy & laughter to your event, as well as mind blowing magic & lasting memories.
I’m available for weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, engagements, children’s parties, charity events, festivals, business & corporate events, stage show magic, and more!
