I have booked Phil on several occasions. He is a consummate professional or always goes above and beyond to ensure his performance is a success. He is enthralling and engaging without embarrassing anyone. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants a very good performer who always leaves a lasting impression! That's why I keep booking him! More...

How long have you been interested in magic?
Like so many magicians I started out with a Paul Daniels magic kit when only a small child. More than three decades later I still love to perform, have won many competitions in local magic clubs, write about and review magic for industry websites and have performed in all kinds of venues around the country.
Take us through your show – what can we expect?
Every performance depends on the audience since so much of what I do is interactive. You can expect miracles with coins, cards, cups, balls, ropes, matchboxes and anything else I can fit in my pockets - and sometimes one or two things that I can't! In the context of a wedding or a dinner I will tend to move around the tables performing 2 or 3 effects at each table and then returning for more if time permits. If required I can perform whilst 'strolling around' at other quieter points in your special event. We can discuss your requirements in more detail when you call.
What do you love most about your job?
I'm a people person most of all - and so I love interacting with people and creating those special moments.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I love the flexibility of being able to offer a professional level of performance but to work around family and other commitments.
Why should our clients choose you?
I'm approachable, flexible and experienced and provide excellent magical entertainment at an affordable price.
