I booked Phill on the strength of the reviews of his performances - and they were spot on. The event was a hen party with a wide range of ages and Phill read the room perfectly. “Hilarious” and “incredibly funny” were some of the comments, and his close magic was amazing. I am being asked “how on earth did you find him?” Highly recommended!!! More...

Phil brought so much enjoyment to our coronation street party festivities. On the short video that he provided after the event, the wonder and disbelief is evident on everybody’s faces. Literally, everyone-from very young to very old-were smiling ALL the time. Phil is an unbelievably talented young magician and I can’t recommend him highly enough. More...

Phil was hired for a event that I organized. He left my guests very entertained and impressed with his tricks. A true professional and value for money. His one to one with people was spellbinding and his tricks were amazing like you see on tv. His tricks are still the talk of the office people were left mind blown.

Amazing night. Phil Pearson (the magician) was always happy when he came to our table always had a smile on his face and was really polite. He made sure he got to Everyone who wanted to see him and I’m pretty sure I kept him late as was leaving with him camera man I asked to see one more and he was more than happy to show me a few. Definitely will be calling Him again and I think everyone should see what his got to show. More...

How long have you been interested in magic?
I've been intrested in magic for over 20 years - Ive been performing professionally for 6 years - I'm a member of The Sussex Magic Circle and The Magic Circle. I also have public liability insurance with Equity.

Walkaround magician
A walkaround magician is a type of magician who performs close-up magic tricks while mingling and interacting with an audience. Unlike stage magicians who perform on a large platform, walkaround magicians usually perform in more intimate settings like parties, weddings, corporate events, or even on the streets.
They dont require a specific stage or setup, as they can approach small groups or individuals, entertaining them with sleight of hand, mind-reading tricks, card tricks and coin tricks.
Comedy Magician (Stage)
A comedy stage magician is a performer who combines the art of magic with humor to entertain audiences on a large stage setting. Unlike traditional stage magicians who focus solely on the magic tricks, comedy stage magicians incorporate comedic elements such as jokes, funny stories, and audience interaction into their performances.
Their goal is to not only amaze the audience with mind-boggling illusions and tricks but also to make them laugh and enjoy a genuinely entertaining experience.
