Colin is a fantastic magician and definitely added the wow factor to our wedding. The guests all commented about how fascinating his performance was. He had them all captivated and left them many times scratching their heads in amazement. The special little touches and keepsakes he created for me and my husband was fantastic, a day we won’t forget that’s for sure. Thank you so Much Colin More...

I have worked with Colin on some larger events and can honestly say he is a true gentlemen. He ensures everyone gets to see some magic and goes over and above on every event. Ask him about his blue eyes? Pictured below is us just about to board the Brittania in Southampton for some celebrity entertainment. If you are looking for Magicians in Hampshire - look no further!

I have to eco Sam, wow. We instantly knew from our first meeting you would help to make the wedding day memorable and you didn’t disappoint. I especially loved the look on one particular friends face who was determined to catch you out and was stumped as to how you did it every time! A special thank you must be given for making sure you had got round to everybody at the wedding breakfast before you left, they were still talking about you long into the evening. Thank you ???? again and I would whole heartedly recommend you as a brilliant entertainer and spell binding magician. More...

Having been amazed by Colin at a wedding fayre we made the instant decision to book him for the wedding of Sam and Siani Hall! From start to finish he was astounding our guests. He made strangers into friends bonded by their shared amazement and made believers out of hardened cynics . It is true to say that he crafted memories which will last a lifetime and on such a special day he made us all believe in a magical place where we can dream to be anything we chose to be. We will absolutely be booking for our next function and would recommend to all our friends . Thank you ???? More...

Colin is simply incredible. My head tells me it's a trick. But my eyes tell me it's impossible. Actually scares me. How on earth do you pull a card out of an iPhone! On top of that he's about the most presentable magician I've ever met. He'll charm you and all your guests. Absolutely top bloke. If I could give him 10 stars it wouldn't be enough! More...

I haven’t booked Colin personally but been at multiple small and large events where he had been performing. His close up magic is second to none with a huge variety of styles and tricks, tagged along with the charisma and charm only normally seen in ‘TV magicians’ makes Colin the only magician I would ever look at to book for an event of my own.

We hired Colin for our wedding in May this year after having spent lots of time witnessing his fantastic skills when I myself used to be a wedding supplier. I always told myself if I was to hold a special event Colin would be one of the must have elements! I took my partner to see Colin at a local wedding fair and he too was blown away. From pre booking right up to the day itself the service we received was exceptional. Prompt responses and the actual quality of the work Colin does is outstanding. He amazed both young and old alike and cracked some of the more skeptical tough cookies amongst our guests with ease. We really couldn't recommend Colin highly enough, you won't find a more professional or lovely magician anywhere � More...

How long have you been interested in magic?
I have been interested in Magic since I was 5 years old, which was when my Grandad pulled a coin out of my ear !
Take us through your show – what can we expect?
As a professional entertainer with a wide range of experience in close-up, table top and cabaret magic, Colin has performed as a Magician all over the UK, Western Europe and in the USA. Colin’s speciality is to deliver his own unique brand of close up magic in a stunning display of visual art. I’ll keep everyone entertained and happy while you’re focusing on enjoying your event. You’ll be able to relax, knowing that all your family and friends/colleagues are having a great time. And people will be talking about YOUR event for years. I guarantee to create those extra special magical moments that you and your guests will remember and talk about for a very long time. These extra special magical moments will bring about magical feelings that can live in peoples lives, minds, hearts and memories for a lifetime.
What do you love most about your job?
I love meeting people and connecting with them, in order to share magical moments that they have never seen, heard or more importantly "felt" before.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I wanted to start my own business in Magic to follow my passion after my time as an Independent Management Consultant and Business Coach. Over the years I have worked across a wide range of industries helping business owners and SME's to establish, build, grow and sell their businesses. One of my key responsibilities over a 4 year period was the start up, development, growth and sale of a major UK Franchise Network. This included a front line role at trade shows, initially engaging clients from the footfall and then introducing them directly to the sales people on the stand. This work often included the training, development and coaching of the staff on the stand with regard to their sales and negotiating skills. I am an accredited Business Development Coach with Grant Thornton and worked with clients under the government backed Growth Accelerator Programme. I have a wide range of experience as a Business Consultant in the professional sport and entertainment industry in both the UK and the USA. I have also held various Sales and Marketing roles at Senior Management level within some FTSE 100 companies. I have past experience having worked in, and owning, several IFA practices either networked or directly regulated by the FCA. I have experience in Corporate finance, Investment Banking and held the position of National Sales Director in the Wealth Management Industry with regard to Wealth Preservation and Generational Wealth Transfer. More recently I was a 50% shareholder and National Sales Director in the creation, establishment and growth of a Financial Services and Consulting business in Professional Football and Professional Rugby with clients in The Premier League, The EFL, Aviva Premiership Rugby and the Rugby Super League.
Why should our clients choose you?
Firstly, I am a member of The Magic Circle by certification. The Magic Circle is the worlds premier and most prestigious Magic society. I am also a member of Equity, the Professional Performers Association . I have adequate professional indemnity and public pliability insurance cover for up to £10 million.
I am very experienced at what I do and have performed at every kind of event imaginable, not just in the UK but also across Europe and some parts of the USA.
Have you ever felt 100% confident about an event you’ve organised, that everyone will have a great time? WOULDN'T YOU LIKE TO FEEL LIKE THAT NEXT TIME? People who haven’t seen me entertain sometimes wonder if it’s too good to be true. The day after, they say they’re wondering what they were worrying about ! I have a multitude of testimonies on my website, from a significant number of extremely satisfied clients.
