For our Anniversary Dinner, our president asked for a memorable, magical stage show, and that’s what we got! It was totally mystifying and just what we wanted. Ed was easy to deal with and professional from the first enquiry to the end of the show.

WHAT TYPES OF MAGIC DO YOU PERFORM?

CLOSE UP MAGIC

Hiring a close up magician for your event is a fantastic way to ensure all of your guests have a great time. A quality professional magician brings your event to life with incredible magic that your guests won't believe. And that's what I do. I combine contemporary sleight of hand magic, with lively conversational comedy to make sure your event is the best it can be. This isn't your grandad's card tricks. It's impressive, impossible magic and mind reading that has to be seen to believed!

Imagine people saying things like at your event:

"Wait, how did you do that?"
"You read my mind!"
and "That's not possible!"

WEDDING MAGIC

There's loads of great wedding venues across the West Midlands. Here are a few I've performed magic at recently:

Windmill Village Hotel, Coventry

Stonebridge Golf Club, Coventry

Mount Hotel, Wolverhampton

Hilton Hall Hotel, Wolverhampton

Castle Bromwich Hall Hotel

There are hundreds of weddings that take place across the West Midlands every day. Some will be days full of celebration and joy. Others, I'm sorry to say, will drag on! How do you make sure yours is in that first group? It's easy. Hiring entertainment for during the day is the way to go. And I don't just mean a band or a DJ for the evening.

Instead I mean during those lull periods where people are waiting around for the next thing. They are thinking, what's next? And you're not there to do any entertaining as you're having your photograph taken, or taking a moment for yourself in an otherwise hectic day. You don't have to hire a magician for your wedding. It could be some other form of entertainment.

A magician is a great choice though, as it's lively, and interactive. Well, that's how I perform magic. It's fast, upbeat and incredibly fun to be a part of.

STAGE MAGIC

There are very few magicians in the West Midlands with a professional stage magic show. I'm one of them. In fact, I specialise in this type of incredible magic performance. For the largest events or where you want to entertain a lot of people in a short amount of time, stage magic is the way to go.

I can also act as the events host and weave in magic throughout the evening, as well as making all of the announcements and introductions.

And for the very largest events, I can even help to source other close up magicians, or a team of stage performers. Whatever is required to make your event special, I can help.

ANY MEMORABLE WEST MIDLANDS EVENTS?

Here are a few events with (hopefully) intriguing titles. Click to read the one that sparks your interest.

An emotional moment of magic

I never embarrass anyone when performing. That's going to extend to this short story. Although, perhaps it's not the most embarrassing tale anyway.

Out of all of the shows I've performed there are a few moments that really stick in my mind. One of those moments occurred during a wedding I was performing at in Coventry. I was performing a special wedding magic trick for the bride and groom. At the conclusion, the groom became quite emotional and started to cry. That's a strong reaction to a magic performance, but it shows I think that magic does connect us to those around us. In this case his new wife.

I also know that moment is one that he and his wife will look back on and share with others for many years to come. That's what I do as a magician for weddings. I can't guarantee you'll cry, but you will have stories to share.

Whose birthday party was this?

This one stands out just for the pure extravagance. When I arrived at this private party in Wolverhampton, I was greeted by fire breathing stilt walkers. Inside there were more entertainers. In the basement there was a DJ spinning some tunes and in the private bar there was a bar flair artist? I want to say a bar flarist, but I may have just invented that word.

This is one of those events where a magician is perhaps a nice luxury. There was so much going on that I wasn't the main event. That was cool with me though. Throughout the entire house there were pockets of people having a great time and my job was to mix with those people and share some incredible magic and mind reading. That's what I did and I was happy to add to this event.

In case, you're wondering I was booked through an agent. And I never did learn who the mystery party thrower was.
