About
Hey I’m James,
Your big day or event is important—and finding the right people to be part of it shouldn’t be difficult. So here’s a little about me, both personally and professionally.
I met my wife, Becky, back in secondary school, and after 9 years together, we got married at the beautiful Sopley Mill in Dorset. Since then, life’s been wonderfully full—mainly thanks to our noisy but loveable cockapoo, and our loveable but equally noisy 5-year-old daughter.
When I’m not performing, you’ll probably find me enjoying a coffee and piece of cake, planning our next sunny getaway, or settling in for the evening with a good Chinese takeaway (crispy beef with noodles is the one!).
Becky has become a superstar videographer in the wedding world—if you haven’t already, you should absolutely check out her work. We’re both incredibly passionate about creating unforgettable wedding experiences, just in very different ways!
Although we live in Dorset, I regularly work across Hampshire, Wiltshire and Somerset, performing at weddings, parties, and events of all shapes and sizes.
I’ve been professionally entertaining for 20 years and am a proud member of The Magic Circle—the world’s most prestigious magic society. I’ve also been honoured to receive the title South West Magician of the Year from The Wedding Industry Awards, a hugely respected recognition voted for by couples and judged by industry experts.
My true love is close-up magic, but what really drives me are the reactions—laughter, gasps, wide eyes, and genuine moments of connection. Magic, when used right, breaks down barriers and sparks instant conversation.
Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to perform at countless amazing weddings full of love and emotion, as well as private parties, trade shows, and corporate events. Some highlights include:
Performing at Google HQ in London
Entertaining at Mercedes in Guernsey
Fundraising at Sandhurst Military Base
Celebrating Oxford University Balliol College’s 450th Anniversary
Hosting the Dorset Children’s Services Awards
Every event I attend is special to me—I truly love them. So whether you’re planning something big or small, local or further afield, I’d love to be part of it.
Let’s make some magic together.
James Maidment
