Frequently Asked Questions

MAGICIAN FAQ

Below is a selection of the most frequently asked questions I receive. Contact me if you do not find the answer to your question here.

How can I be sure you are good?

Firstly check out my Google reviews from previous clients, all are unanimously positive. Being a professional magician is competitive and if you’re not good, you don’t eat! I love what I do and that shows through in my performances. I think these 5 points also help me stand out from other magicians:

1) I have been a full time professional magician since 2007, I do not have another job, this is it!

2) I have appeared on America’s Got Talent, Penn & Teller: Fool Us and ITV1’s The Next Great Magician.

3) I co-created and starred in this magic viral video which has been viewed over 20 million times.

4) I headlined an internationally touring theatre show Champions of Magic (Over 500 magicians were considered and auditioned for the show). I have toured the UK and the USA and Canada within this show. I also performed at The Palace Theatre in London’s West End in the brand new hit show Wonderville.

5) I am a Member of The Inner Magic Circle with Gold Star (the highest level) and I am recommended by some of the best venues in the UK including The Houses of Parliament, Raymond Blanc’s Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons and Blenheim Palace to name just a few.

How long will you need to be at my event for?

That depends entirely on how many guests you have. If you want me to circulate while guests are standing with drinks I can get around roughly 50 people an hour. If your guests are seated at tables for a meal (8-10 on each table) over the period of a standard three course meal service I can usually cover 10-12 tables.

How much do you charge?

The price I quote will depend on several factors such as location, day of the week, number of guests and how long you will need me to be at your event for. Please go to the contact page for an immediate quote for your event, I will usually reply in a few hours.

Is it just for adults or can you also entertain the children present?

Yes of course, I don’t gather the kids together and do a kids show, but they will love the magic I present.

Are you insured?

Yes, I have Public Liability Insurance for £1,000,000 to cover myself, your guests and the venue in the event of an accident.

What happens if you cancel?

In the highly unlikely event that I cancel on you, my colleagues at The Magic Circle will assist me in finding another professional magician who can perform at your event. I have only missed 2 shows in my career.

I’m organising a charity event, could you offer a free performance?

I do a few charity performances throughout the year for organisations I have chosen to support, however I have no more free performance slots available this year.
