    An important quick tip for festival organisers! You know live events can sometimes feel like a bit of a balancing act. Weather turns, stage times slip, and crowd sizes can double in minutes.

    Booking a budget performer might look good on paper, but if they lack the field tested experience to adapt when things change fast, your schedule, and the audience experience, takes the hit.

    With a track record of performing at hundreds of public events and festivals, I understand how many moving parts you’re managing. That’s why I make myself easy to work with. For smaller pop-up areas, I can arrive fully self contained with my own PA system, while for larger stages, I provide a clear, professional technical rider for a seamless transition.

    Not only that but I’ve honed my approach to focus on conversation and real time improvisation. rather than a static script. I respond to the energy of the space get visitors involved naturally, turning skeptical visitors into your most engaged crowd.

    All this means we keep your schedule on track and your crowd genuinely captivated, no matter what the day throws at us. Drop me a line with your event dates, and let’s look at where I fit best in your line up.

    FESTIVAL MAGICIAN FAQS

    Got a question, I haven’t answered below? Reach out to me, here.

    How far in advance do I need to secure a booking?

    Festival season fills up fast, often a 4 to 6 months in advance. A few of my repeat clients, book a year in advance. However, last minute schedule changes do happen, so it is always worth checking my availability. Get in touch as soon as you can and let’s start the conversation.

    How far do you travel to perform at festivals?

    I am based in the Staffordshire which makes traveling anywhere across the UK straightforward. I often perform at festivals in Shropshire, Cheshire, Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire. And as one of the leading magicians in the UK, distance is never an issue. I’ve performed across the whole of the UK, and overseas.

    How much does it cost to hire a magician for a festival?

    This one is a bit more difficult to answer than for single events, as there are more option types. It might be a single set of close up magic, a series of pop up shows throughout the day, or a main stage show to thousands of visitors! It’s probably not very useful to say from £500 to £5000 so for a more tailored answer request a no obligation quote here and I’ll reply as soon as possible.

    What types of festivals and events is your magic suitable for?

    Anywhere people are gathering to have a good time. I’ve performed at arts festivals, music festivals, food and drink markets, beer festivals, comedy weekends, and even a few private festivals / events with a festival theme. Because my style relies on real time improvisation rather than a rigid stage setup, I can seamlessly fit into almost any programming schedule. Even if all you’ve got is a patch of grass, I can make that a stage!

    Is your act suitable for family friendly festivals?

    Absolutely! I’m not a children’s entertainer, so if you’re looking for bright colours and farmyard animals then that’s not what I do. However, my family show is completely clean and engaging for all generations. It’s smart, sophisticated magic and comedy that keep adults captivated while ensuring younger festival goers stay completely hooked and entertained.

    Can you perform roaming magic rather than a fixed stage show?

    Yes, roaming magic is fantastic for festivals. I can wander through food courts, queues, or bars, breaking the ice and generating pockets of high energy crowds. This approach injects entertainment into normally boring/dead spaces and keeps visitors buzzing without requiring dedicated stage time. For the largest festivals, I can even co-ordinate a team of expert magicians selected from some of the top magicians in the industry.

    What happens if bad weather disrupts the outdoor schedule?

    I’m entirely field tested for British festival weather. If a downpour shuts down an outdoor area, I can easily pivot to an indoor tent, bar, or VIP lounge. My setup is portable enough to move quickly, ensuring the entertainment doesn’t stop when the rain starts. I’ve even done close up magic under a brolly!

    Do you have public liability insurance?

    Yes. I hold full Public Liability Insurance (PLI), organised for me by Equity (the performing artist’s union). I can provide a copy of my certificate to you or your production team upon request.
