    A quick warning! When it comes to stage magic, there is a whole world of difference between a seasoned pro, and an enthusiastic amateur.

    Audiences can sense nerves. So when everyone’s seated, and all eyes are forward, you need a performer who commands the stage and gives guests the green light to relax and enjoy the show.

    I’ve mastered the invisible secrets of stage magic. My years of performing for corporate events, awards nights, festivals, and my own ticketed theatre shows have taught me that beyond the magic tricks, it’s the timing, posture, and music choices that ensure every beat lands with maximum impact.

    My performances mix impressive modern magic and mind reading, with sharp, improvised comedy. And because the show is responsive to the room and shaped by the people in front of me, it draws the audience in naturally. Guests get involved because they want to be part of the fun, never because they’re put on the spot.

    My high impact stage show is the ultimate way to transform your event into a headline experience.

    STAGE MAGIC FAQS

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

    How do I book a stage show for my event?

    It all starts with a call or email via my contact page. Once we’ve discussed your event timings and audience size, I’ll provide an accurate quote and if you want to go ahead, I’ll send out a booking agreement and request a deposit to secure the slot in my calendar. I’ll also keep in touch with you/your team to ensure everything is perfectly in place for the performance.

    How much does it cost to hire a stage magician?

    Stage magic is a premium “main event” service that requires increased preparation over close up magic. The price is based on a few factors, such as the date, time, location, number of guests, and the package you choose. As a guide, most bookings for stage magic range between £700 and £2000. I always provide a bespoke quote once I know the details of your event. You can request a no obligation quote here and I’ll reply as soon as possible.

    Which areas do you cover?

    I am based in Staffordshire and frequently perform in Birmingham, Nottingham, Shrewsbury, Manchester, and London. As there are fewer magicians performing stage magic, I often travel much further too. Distance is never an issue, and in fact, I have also performed at international events in Europe and the USA.

    What are the technical requirements for the stage show?

    Each event is slightly different, and for some events (<100 guests indoors), I can bring the show full tech-d. Generally though I’ll require a suitable PA system, a high quality microphone or an XLR input, and a 3.5mm jack input. After making a booking, I will provide a simple, one-page technical rider which allows your venue or AV team to be one step ahead, ensuring the performance looks and sounds world-class from the moment I step on stage.

    How many guests can a stage show accommodate?

    The show is designed to scale. While I regularly perform for audiences of 100 to 300 at corporate events and galas, I have the stagecraft and experience to command rooms of up to 1,000.

    Can a stage magician work in a room without a literal stage?

    Yes, up to a limit. A raised platform, or raked seating is ideal for visibility in large rooms, or with a lot of guests. However, I can perform “on the floor” for more intimate events. The key is ensuring everyone can see and hear me. During our initial consultation, we can discuss your room layout, and advise on what’s worked well in the past. If stage magic isn’t the right fit, an alternative is hiring one or more close up magicians (I can co-ordinate a team for you).

    When is the best time for the performance to take place?

    To maximise the impact of my show, it should be a point of focus where no other entertainment is happening, and food service/clearing away has paused. The most popular slots are after dinner to kick off the evening’s celebrations, or as a high energy post lunch session during a conference.

    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 venue coordinator upon request.
