Hallowe’en Wedding Magic at Berkeley Castle

Wedding and 50th birthday party magic
It’s been a busy few weeks (even months!) over the summer period, with lots of various weddings and parties that I’ve entertained at. As always it’s great to get feedback from people afterwards. Firstly I had an email from Sarah and Peter. Sarah is a professional photographer, and she booked
My Rubik’s Cube
Did you know there are over 43 quintillion combinations for a standard Rubik’s Cube? (To be precise there are 43,252,003,274,489,856,000 combinations!) And out of all of those combinations, only one of them is when the cube is solved. The other I was playing with my Rubik’s Cube. I was in
Great photos by Sarah Ann Wright
Last summer I was booked to perform magic at the wedding of Carys and Steve at Harrild & Sons; a traditional pub in the centre of London, sandwiched between the modern architecture of corporate glass fronted office blocks. Inside the venue oozed rustic qualities, with bare wooden floors and exposed
Masonic Magician for Ladies Nights & Festivals
When organising your Masonic Ladies Night, Festival or White Table there are a lot of variables, and that takes a lot of organising – and I’m guessing that neither you (or your partner) are professional event managers. In fact, I don’t really need to rely on my mind-reading powers to
Christmas Party Magician in Sindlesham, Reading
On Saturday 15th December I was booked to entertain with close-up magic at a large Christmas party at Berkshire Masonic Centre, Sindlesham near Reading. I say large as there was twenty-one tables, lots of guests and just two hours to get round them all. Oh, and in between that there

Wedding Magic at Moor Park, Rickmansworth
It’s fair to say that the majority of my December, as a professional magician, is entertaining at Christmas parties. And most people think that once Christmas has gone it’s a case of putting my feet up for a week before next leaving the house for New Year’s Eve. Although that
Three Weddings and a Party equals a busy magician in Hampshire!
Last weekend was another busy weekend (it’s fair to say it’s been a very busy September, well it’s been a busy year). Although technically my weekend started on Thursday morning. 60th Birthday Party in Odiham, Hampshire Starting on Thursday morning (yes, Thursday morning!) I entertained at Shirley’s 60th birthday celebration.
Hampshire Wedding and 40th Birthday Magician
Well last Saturday was a busy – yet very fun – day as I performed at two different events. Fortunately these were only a couple of miles away from each other and I had plenty of time to travel between the two. (I even managed to stop off to grab
Donnington Grove (Newbury) Wedding Fair Magician
This Sunday (2nd September – I know, where has the year gone?!) I’m going to be at the Donnington Grove wedding fair, near Newbury, Berkshire. I used to attend quite a lot of wedding fairs, but as time has gone on most of my business comes from referrals and recommendations
Wedding Magician in Hurstbourne Tarrant, near Andover
The month of May can be a busy time for me. It’s when the spring showers of April have subsided and summer starts to show more consistently – but without being so hot that Factor 50 must be used just to go outside for more than 10 minutes. Lunch, Dinner
Wedding Magic at Harlestone Village near Northampton
People often ask me how I get booked for parties and weddings, and where they hear about me. To be honest quite a lot of the people who book me have seen me before at an event elsewhere, and sometimes they have even booked me before themselves. Wedding Magician This
Magic Mad Hatter at Alice in Wonderland event in Nottingham
I had a great time performing at Albion House’s (at Nottingham University) annual gala dinner. It was an Alice In Wonderland themed event – so naturally I performed at my (slight) alter-ego: The Magic Mad Hatter! The evening was at Colwick Hall, which is close to Nottingham Race Course. I

Talking about Roald Dahl’s Henry Sugar at Brimpton WI
Brimpton Woman’s Institute (between Reading and Newbury) must like my talks, because I’ve now given three talks to this WI group on a variety of magic related subjects! The first talk was five years ago. I had not long moved to the area and had been featured in a local
