What Do I Do?

Close-Up Magic · Table Magic · Mind Reading · Pickpocket Magic

My mind-blowing magic is guaranteed to amaze your guests, clients or colleagues — and they'll be talking about it for years. Everything is interactive — cards, phones, borrowed rings, elastic bands and other everyday objects are used in sleight of hand and mind reading effects that happen right in your guests' hands.

When Do I Perform?

Arrival Drinks

Close-up magic at the drinks reception breaks the ice as guests arrive and gets the event off to a brilliant start.

Table Magic Between Courses

A captive audience! I never interrupt the meal — there's always a table waiting. You can hear where I am by the laughter and applause!

Evening Entertainment

My magic bridges the gap between daytime and evening perfectly — a great way to break the ice as evening guests arrive.

What Does Close-Up Magic Involve?

My close-up magic takes it to the next level — with mind-reading (PIN numbers, thought-of names), sleight of hand, and pickpocketing.

Imagine watching an incredible magic show and realising your phone is no longer in your pocket! Don't worry, everything is returned with a laugh.
