Martin performed at our wedding in March this year. When I tell you I still have people asking questions about how he does his tricks, how awesome he was and how polite he was doing magic at our wedding breakfast, that is absolutely the case! I am sure I will hear this for years to come. It was an absolute pleasure speaking to you in the lead up to the wedding, kind polite, efficient, enthusiastic - everything you would want from a 5* magician! Thank you so much Martin for being part of our day. You made it extra magical 🪄✨ More...

How long have you been interested in magic?
Since I can remember, I have always been fascinated by magic and the feelings of awe + wonder it inspires within us. I got my first magic set at the age of 4 and started performing from the age of 12. I feel bless to live my childhood dream job on a daily basis and have experienced some truly astonishing magic moments with people across the globe over the years.
Take us through your show – what can we expect?
Magic is more than just performing tricks - it's about creating a true connection with an audience, taking them on a emotive journey with some truly profound magical experiences along the way! Using a seamless blend of emotive story telling and slight-of-hand, the show is delivered with high energy + passion that leaves everyone feeling inspired, energised and spellbound.
What do you love most about your job?
Even if I've performed a magic routine thousands of times, I never get tired of seeing the reactions people give when they experience the moment of magic. Their eyes light up, they will shout, scream, swear, fall about laughing or even burst into tears of happiness/joy. I love that magic has the ability to transport us to that child-like sense of awe + wonder, in a world where briefly anything is possible. As Pablo Picasso once said - “The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away.”
What inspired you to start your own business?
It took me a few years to find who I was as a magician, but this all changed in 2015 when I started working with Spread a Smile - a charity who provide entertainment as therapy for children in hospital. Meeting these remarkable children was truly humbling and gave me the motivation to get out of my comfort zone and become a full time magician. Since then I've achieved 6 Guinness World Record titles, performed over 2,500 show virtually to teams at Google, Facebook, Apple & Netflix and my currently project is attempting to perform Magic in Space. My shows, workshops and talks are designed to challenge people to think outside the box and consider fun ways to get out of your own comfort zone.
Why should our clients choose you?
My work has amassed over 1500 5-star reviews online and while I'm new to the Bark platform, clients can rest assured upfront you are in safe hands throughout the booking process. I've performed across the globe both in person/online so can adapt to cultural differences with ease. I also bespoke for the client to ensure we hit any particular message or keynote for their event.

What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
All my shows have been adapted to require no physical contact if needed due to COVID requirements. If COVID has impacted your event for any reason, the option for a virtual/online event is always available as a backup.
Secrets of Magic - Virtual Magic Show/Workshop
Prepare to be inspired, energised and spellbound as we go on an epic journey through my magical world!
Join me in the Secrets of Magic classroom where you will take part in this fully immersive, mind-blowing magic show with everyday objects such as cards, coins & the gold-dust of 2020 - a roll of toilet paper!
I will then break the magician's code, using a blend of emotive storytelling and sleight of hand to uncover the real secrets behind the magic and how you can use tricks to help others.
Then it's your turn to give it a go...
I'll teach you some of the tricks you've just witnessed me perform, not only going through the technical moves, but also the psychology that turns a trick into a piece of magic.
This motivational experience is great for team-building and private bookings receive a surprise, bespoke piece of magic during the show.
If you are booking for work, let me know which company your team is with and any details about the event you may be celebrating.
The show/workshop is 1 hour, however this can be increased to 90 minutes or reduced 30 minutes if required for your group (alternative fees apply).
