I thought I had seen it all but, having seen Lee perform some magic at extremely close range I have to say he was absolutely amazing. This man is the epitome of magic. I have no words to describe how impressed I was, and I feel so privileged to have witnessed this man's skill. More...

Lee showed me a new trick, I am still speechless :)
Lauren
My husband and I were lucky enough to have Lee perform at our wedding. Our family and friends were blown away by his performance and the afternoon was filled with laughter wherever he was. We received so many comments about how brilliant he was and people were discussing his tricks for weeks afterwards! Lee is such a lovely guy and works the crowd perfectly. He didn't leave anyone out and chose tricks to suit each group which was genius! Simply fantastic! :) More...

Lee is one of the most funny, charismatic and talented magician you will ever have the pleasure of hiring. His tricks just amazed us and his humour was great too. If you are thinking about hiring him then stop thinking, just do it already! More...

Lee did a gig for me at a friend's 60th. He was great! He made sure everyone had some time and did close up stuff and some tricks for groups. We still want to know how he does it! Recommended. More...

Lee amazed every one of our 100 guests, including the most sceptical adults, and iPad addicted kids! Magical performance and really easy to work with.

I've had the pleasure of working with Lee on several occasions. He is a true professional and one of the best magicians in the country. I can't recommend Lee high enough. If you're having a party or event, BOOK Lee!! More...

Wonderful first class magician, who has dedicated his life to his profession.
How long have you been interested in magic?
Oh, for about 3 weeks now :-)) .......(plus 20 years!)
Take us through your show – what can we expect?
Witnessing magic right there, directly in front of your very eyes, in your hands – with your objects. Rings fly to keychains, watches disappear from guest’s wrists, objects float in mid-air and borrowed banknotes materialise inside pieces of fruit.
From entertaining members of the Royal family, Presidents and Prime Ministers, Sheiks and Princes in the Middle East and countless A-list celebrities - my close-up magic is the perfect way to make an impact on your guest and leave them with something they'll talk about for years to come!
What do you love most about your job?
Getting paid :-)
Aaah, apparently that's not enough, I have to enter at least 50 characters in this box. Well, sorry you've had to read this but I think that should do it.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Well, nobody will give me a job doing anything else! It's just as well I love it.
Why should our clients choose you?
Well, there is only ONE of me! But, seriously though I'm not the cheapest - but I am one of the best at this kind of entertainment....and I'll happily speak to anyone or meet up with them to discuss beforehand and prove it! Just hold on to your wallets and watches. For legal reasons I'm no longer taking requests for spouse disappearances!
Close-up Magic / Private Events
Witnessing magic right there, directly in front of your very eyes, in your hands – with your objects. Rings fly to keychains, watches disappear from guest’s wrists, objects float in mid-air and borrowed banknotes materialise inside pieces of fruit.
From entertaining members of the Royal family, Presidents and Prime Ministers, Sheiks and Princes in the Middle East and countless A-list celebrities - Lee's close-up magic is the perfect way to make an impact on your guest and leave them with something they'll talk about for years to come.
His brand of close-up magic is fresh and innovative and is a sure-fire way to enhance your guest’s experience. Combining his outgoing personality with award winning sleight of hand - it's easy to see why clients come back time and time again.
Cabaret
A regular on the cabaret scene for many years, Lee's comedy magic act is in demand across the UK and can be booked for your event to get people laughing and leave them awe-struck.
The act can last from 15 to 40 minutes and includes such feats as discovering a previously burnt borrowed banknote inside a walnut....
which was inside an egg....
which was inside a lemon!!!
For belly laughs, you can't beat Lee's "hands" routine, where his hands become those of the volunteer and for a few moments the special guest (or MD, or arch enemy!) becomes the magician. Truly hilarious, it has to be seen to be believed!
Jackets get destroyed, watches go missing, razor blades are eaten and somehow Lee manages to work it all out in the most impossible way - with plenty of comedy and laughs to keep people entertained throughout.
Lee's act can be performed in most venues and sound equipment can be provided.
Weddings
We all know that your wedding day is supposed to be the most important and enjoyable day of your life...but it can also be one of the most stressful. Worrying that guests are happy and kept entertained is often one of the major concerns.
Well, worry not...having Lee at your event will not only provide exceptional entertainment, magic also acts as a perfect ice breaker and bond-maker to guests from all walks of life who may not be so familiar with one another.
Lee also has a few things up his sleeves for your younger guests (a few seasons on luxury resorts abroad gave him ample experience here!).
Mixing and mingling during a reception or performing at tables during a meal, Lee's close-up magic is the perfect way to get people talking and ensure that people are kept smiling and enjoying themselves throughout the proceedings.
Undoubtedly his favourite type of event to be at, Lee has a wealth of experiencing performing at weddings. He particularly enjoys being part of something so special and making it a truly magical experience. As such, special rates are available for this type of event...so please call to ensure your day really is as wonderful as it's meant to be!
