How long have you been interested in magic?
I started performing illusions at the age of five years old and have always been fascinated with what is seemingly impossible! As a child I used to watch magic on TV and wonder how on earth they did that! But I also wondered if I would ever be able to perform incredible feats of illusions myself. So it was a thrill and a privilege to appear on BBC national TV many years later and magically "saw" Aled Jones in half!"
Take us through your show – what can we expect?
Expected the unexpected - I try to surprise my audiences and give them magical experiences that make them laugh while they are being baffled with the mysteries I present. If I am performing "mix and mingle" close-up magic around tables or at a drinks reception, I perform illusions with coins, cards and other borrowed items. Some of my favourite illusions are to make objects disappear and reappear in the most unlikely of places!
What do you love most about your job?
I love watching people's reactions to the magic I'm performing and try to create special, unique experiences for each guest. I also love creating new illusions and letting audiences see something they have never seen before.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I start performing professionally as my love of magic and the requests for performance grew. I sometimes describe what I do as "a hobby that got out of hand!" Currently I've been invited to perform in more than 100 places across the U.K and I continue to love the variety of each venue and booking, whether small or large.
Why should our clients choose you?
Firstly experience, with over thirty years of performance experience behind me, entertaining audience sizes from 9 to 900, I believe that I am very well placed to meet the needs of each client that hires my services.
Also performing magic and illusions has been my "hobby" as well as a job, so I am very passionate about doing it well.
From the initial contact onwards, I work closely with the organiser of the event, to carefully craft my performance and illusions according to what is required and to ensure that everyone receives the best possible entertainment experience.
