A Poem About Robert Bone, Mindreader
Here’s a little bit of fun. I’m a member of a local networking group, and at every meeting members have an opportunity to speak about their business, what they do, and the types of clients they have. I’ve noticed that some members increase how they stand out and make themselves more memorable by reading a […]

I was recently reminded of Lucy and Jack’s wonderful wedding after Gloucestershire wedding photographer Judith Parkyn forwarded over some great photos from the day – and in particular a fantastic set of me performing for Lucy and Jack before they were called in for the wedding breakfast. The wedding was at Elmore Court, on the […]

Wedding Fair Magician – 2023
Though I don’t do too many wedding fairs nowadays, I have booked a few in my diary for 2023. These are venues where I am the recommended supplier and therefore am familiar with it (though to be honest there isn’t a huge advantage to me being familiar with a venue – as long as I’ve […]

Exhibition Magic Case-Study with ECCS Ltd
It was a great pleasure to work with ECCS Ltd at The Workplace Event held at the NEC near Birmingham in April. The three days went by in a blur, and the stand was constantly busy. But firstly, lets look at the bigger picture of why a company (like ECCS, or yours) would attend a show: Quality Vs Quantity […]
What’s the best party package for you?
I was recently asked what the difference is between the different party packages I offer. To put it simply: time. But I realised there is actually more to that question. When I sat back I looked at the question from my client’s point of view, and they weren’t really asking what the difference was in […]
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 can be the case, over […]
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 a bite of food, get […]
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 from those that have seen […]
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 and Three Weddings Because of […]
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 was the case last Saturday […]
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.

I started performing magic for the […]
Magic at a 1st Birthday Celebration in Aldermaston, Berkshire
My first professional engagement of 2018 was near Aldermaston – just round the corner from where I live. (Well, actually about 2.5 miles away, but as I live in a rural village in West Berkshire and regularly travel all over the country to attend events then it really is just round the corner!) I was […]
Magic and Mind-Reading Cabaret in Swanage, Dorset
Had a trip to the seaside last weekend as I popped down to the South Coast to perform close-up magic at a 70th birthday celebration in the town of Swanage in Dorset. Although I used to live not too far away (in Poole) I don’t tend to go down there too often now, but actually […]
Magic at wedding in Cotswold Water Park
A few weeks ago I had a great time entertaining the guests of Dale and Jo at their wedding at the Cotswold Water Park in Gloucestershire. It’s a lovely venue which I have been to before (when it was names the DeVere Four Pillars – which did give me a moment of confusion…!) for a […]
Multiple Birthday Party in Thatcham, Berkshire

Summer Party, Andover Wedding and Centenary Celebration

Warbrook House Wedding Magic
A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of entertaining Lauren, Sean and all the guests at their wedding at Warbrook House which is Eversley (near Hook, in Hampshire). It’s a great venue and I work there regularly for proms and parties, but mostly for weddings. I was booked by Lauren’s parents, Robert (good name!) […]
