About
Your big day or event is important, and finding people to work with can be difficult. Here’s who I am, both personally and professionally.
After meeting my now wife, Becky, in secondary school, we got married in 2016 at Sopley Mill in Dorset.
We have a noisy but loveable cockapoo and a loveable but noisy 4 year old daughter.
After getting married, Becky threw herself into the wedding industry and has become a superstar videographer, you can and should check out her work here.
Whilst we live in Dorset, a lot of the time I work in Hampshire, Wiltshire and Somerset for weddings, parties and events.
I have been professionally entertaining for 20 years and I am a proud member of the Magic Circle, the most prestigious and famous magic society in the world, based in London. I have also been awarded South West Magician of the Year, by The Wedding Industry Awards. A highly regarded wedding award voted for by wedding couples and judged by industry experts.
I love close up magic, but I love the reactions even more.
It can be used to create laughter, gasps and disbelief.
Used in the right way it breaks down barriers and creates an instant talking point.
I have been lucky enough to entertain at weddings full of love and emotion, private parties, trade shows and many more wonderful events.
Each and every wedding I attend, I love! They really are my favourite, but some of the highlight corporate events that magic has taken me to so far included;
- Performing at Google HQ in London
- Entertaining at Mercedes in Guernsey
- Fund raising at Sandhurst Military base.
- Celebrating Oxford University Balliol college’s 450th Anniversary
- Hosting the Dorset Children’s Services Awards
