Congratulations Vicky and James

Thank you for helping make our day so special, everyone thought you were amazing.

Vicky and James, Stancliffe Hall, Derbyshire, September 2022

It was tremendous to perform magic at the lovely Vicky and James’s wedding day at Stancliffe Hall near Matlock, Derbyshire last September. We were blessed with glorious sunshine, and it was a pleasure and a privilege to entertain alongside the exceptional Matt Lowe (photographer) who very kindly provided these outstanding images.

Indoors or outdoors, close-up magic is very versatile.

Vicky and James had requested that I provide entertainment during both drinks reception period (immediately after the ceremony) and during early evening (from the end of wedding breakfast to first dance). These are always excellent times for some ‘mix-and-mingle’ close-up magic.

The newlyweds’ guests were a joy to entertain, and I was delighted to be able to perform my full repertoire of card magic, classic illusions, mind-reading and sleight-of-hand in the stunning gardens of Stancliffe Hall. Matt expertly captured the action, and the photographs in this article reveal his tremendous talents as an award-winning wedding day photographer.

The beauty of close-up magic is that it can be performed virtually anywhere. I have adapted and modified my act over the years so that my routines can be delivered in different environments and under varying conditions. It was a bonus to provide an impromptu parlour show of magic for a larger group of Vicky and James’s guests after the ceremony in the courtyard.

It is always fantastic to entertain all the generations on a wedding day. One of the qualities of magic is that it appeals to all age groups and brings guests closer together. It was wonderful to provide a little child-friendly entertainment, along with balloon modelling, for Vicky and James’s lovely friends and family.

It truly was a magical day at Stancliffe Hall, and thank you again Vicky and James for calling upon my services. It was also wonderful to see you and your family and friends again last Christmas for your special party at the The Edgefold Club in Matlock! Hopefully there will be many more magical red letter days to come.

Happy Birthday Rachel!

I was delighted and very flattered when Jamie and Rachel asked me to perform magic at a very important birthday bash in Nottingham recently! The venue was the fantastic Botti Di Mamma in Hockley and it definitely was a memorable and magical occasion.

Rachel’s family and close-friends were not only treated to the exquisite ambience and exceptional cuisine of this first class venue, but the talents of Nottingham musical quartet The Money ensured it truly was a fantastic evening. Jamie has known the band for many years and was delighted that they could be part of such an important event. They are always a massive hit wherever they perform!

It was a privilege to mingle with such a warm and receptive group of people, and I was also delighted to perform a little customised magic for both Rachel and her father Brian. Indeed, it was very kind of Jamie and Rachel to invest their trust in me for such a big night, and I always hope that I can repay this in my performance.

A very important occasion calls for a very talented cameraman, and Will Slater was present in order to expertly capture the proceedings. As you can appreciate from the photographs proudly displayed in this article, Will’s timing, sixth-sense and attention to detail is immaculate.

Overall, the party was a resounding success and friends and family partied well into the small hours! Happy birthday Rachel! And well done to everyone for helping to create such a tremendous occasion – I hope that you and Jamie had a great time in the USA.
