My Story

Don’t tell the other magicians… I was a juggler, an entertainer, singer, actor then broadcaster before I became a professional magician.

My first job in entertainment was in 2002 when age 20 I left my job in a bank to become an entertainer at a holiday park. I'm a half decent juggler, yet it turned out I could hold a tune better than most and ended up becoming the male vocalist on our team.

Two seasons of 48-hour weeks presenting evenings of entertainment with gameshows and cabaret acts, daytime pub quizzes, running a kids’ club, hosting talent competitions and learning just enough choreography to stop me looking silly while singing, all gave me the experience to become a well-rounded entertainer.  A degree in show business if you like.

Leaving the holiday park world behind I dabbled in acting and broadcasting before settling down.

A boring job came calling once I met my now wife, but I wanted to give an entertainment career another try before I turned 30.

That’s when I became a magician. Kids parties, zoos, festivals, corporate picnics and weddings have been my full-time job since 2013.

Live entertainment is an unusual career. Clients and audiences are rarely the same people. Building rapport with both is key, so clients know their guests are in safe hands.

The point at which I realised my job is to show off the event around me, and to make my clients look good, was the point at which I was able to go full time in an industry of side-hustlers.

No one really likes a show off. And everyone really likes to be shown off. The more ‘thank you, that was a great night’ messages my customer gets, the better a job I’ve done.

Right now, 2024, with both children now at primary school, this somewhat unusual career I’ve landed myself in means three things: I get to serve guests and audiences with light entertainment, laughs and magic; I get to make things easy for clients that need reliable, professional entertainment to enhance their events and help them run smoothly; AND I get to do most school runs.

So, how can I help you? Where are your people going to be? At a drinks reception? At tables? In front of a stage? At your wedding, conference dinner, or team off-site meeting? Leave them to me. They’re in safe hands.
