Congratulations Corinne and Edward – Holme Pierrepont Hall, Nottingham, August 2025

‘You were absolutely brilliant, and brought such a special touch to the celebrations – our guests haven’t stopped talking about your magic!’

Edward and Corinne, Holme Pierrepont Hall, Nottingham, 28th August 2025

Holme Pierrepont Hall dates back to Tudor times.

It was a magical day at the enchanting Holme Pierrepont Hall last August when Edward and Corinne tied the knot. I had been very fortunate to have met the lovely couple at Harlaxton Manor earlier in the year, and I was delighted when they decided that my magic should be part of their big day.

Close-up ‘mix-and-mingle’ magic was provided during drinks reception period, and it was a tremendous pleasure to entertain such a wonderful group of guests. I delivered an extensive repertoire of card routines, classic illusions, mind-reading demonstrations and parlour effects both within the hall and around the beautiful walled garden outside.

Whatever the weather – indoors or outdoors – it’s always a massive pleasure to engage the guests at weddings! Photograph courtesy of Charlotte Jopling.

At larger weddings I may perform during both day reception and evening reception (a split performance of wedding magic) and this is what Corinne and Edward requested I do. This ensures that both day and evening guests can enjoy the performance and helps to keep the day flowing; and friends and family entertained.

Thank you Edward and Corinne for the lovely card and feedback!

It was a pleasure to entertain such a fantastic group of evening guests who had travelled from far and wide to share in Edward and Corinne’s celebrations. Indeed, it was also tremendous to work alongside the exceptional Jackstar Weddings who I have known for many years and who always deliver a first class service.

Congratulations again Edward and Corinne! Thank you so much for inviting me to perform magic on your wedding day.

Kenwick Park, Louth, Lincolnshire

29th August 2024

It was a tremendous pleasure and a privilege to be part of the lovely Katie and Jacob’s wedding celebrations at the fantastic Kenwick Park Hotel, Louth. This superb venue is situated near to the cultural town of Louth which is in close proximity to the unique Lincolnshire coastline. It truly is the perfect location for a wedding celebration, and Katie and Jacob’s big day certainly was a joy to behold.

Close-up magic during drinks reception (immediately after the ceremony when photographs are being taken) is always a lovely time to perform on a wedding day. This gives me an opportunity to share my diverse range of magical effects and create a positive atmosphere prior to wedding breakfast time. Wedding guests of all backgrounds and generations will be brought together by the power of magic!

Card magic, sleight-of-hand, mind-reading, startling predictions, and classical visual illusions are all potent hallmarks of my unique performances. Expect the unexpected on a wedding day! Katie and Jacob’s guests were lovely, and a real pleasure to entertain during both drinks reception and wedding breakfast time.

It is always vital to perform some very special magic for bride and groom on their big day! It was tremendous to have the opportunity to entertain the top table on Katie and Jacob’s wedding – and hopefully this will be a memorable part of the occasion for many years to come. Child-friendly magic, table illusions and balloon modelling were also delivered for the lovely couple’s friends and family.

A marvellous day was had by all, and it was wonderful to perform my magic alongside the fantastic Paul Cato Photographer (who kindly provided these excellent images of the day) and with the staff of this exceptional Lincolnshire venue!

Valentine’s Day Magic in Lincoln

It’s always fantastic to visit the great city of Lincoln; and even better to perform magic there! I was delighted to have the opportunity to entertain audiences on Valentine’s Day this year around the majestic cathedral quarter and Bailgate areas of the unique town centre. The exceptional Paul Massey was on hand to expertly capture the magic, and we had a truly magical day in a stunningly picturesque location.

Providing the gift of magic on Valentine’s Day

The beauty of the close-up magic and illusions that I can deliver is that they can be appreciated in virtually any setting. It was a pleasure to provide some magical entertainment both indoors and outdoors to celebrate Valentine’s Day. Some special mystifying memories were created for the lovely couples I encountered on my travels around the old town centre.

Paul Massey is a fantastic Lincolnshire photographer who is available for weddings, events and commercial shoots around the UK and beyond. It truly was a pleasure and a privilege to work alongside Paul as he captured my performance on the day. Find out more about his first class service at: Paul Massey Photography.

It was wonderful to engage both visitors and locals with some magic around the stunning edifice of Lincoln Cathedral. As an experienced performer, I can customise my repertoire to suit the location, and I am very fortunate to have had plenty of experience delivering illusions and legerdemain in an outdoor setting over the years.

Valentine’s Day magic in the Duke William Hotel

After mingling around the cathedral area, it was tremendous to visit the historic Duke William Hotel on the Bailgate and entertain everyone present. This provided me with the opportunity to deliver some of my favourite visual magical effects, as well as some more mysterious routines to captivate the Valentine’s Day audience.

Comedy and interaction are vital elements of close-up magic

It is always vital to strike up a solid rapport with the audience when performing magic. Suffice to say that the Lincolnshire crowd are always a joy to entertain! It was fantastic to blend some of my older material with several newer effects on the day. Indeed, it is very important that magicians continue to strive for excellence within their act, and continue to develop unique and original material for everyone to enjoy.

It’s always a pleasure to entertain at table-side

Overall it was a superb day in Lincoln! Thank you again to all of the lovely people who shared the magic, and I do hope that you were left thoroughly entertained. Special thanks again to Paul Massey and the Duke William Hotel. I hope to return to this fantastic city again very soon and continue to amaze audiences with my sleight-of-hand!

Audrey (David’s partner) The Royal Oak, Quorn, Loughborough, March 2023

It was a tremendous pleasure and a privilege to entertain David’s friends and family at the Royal Oak in Quorn. It was a very special birthday celebration, and attendees had travelled from far and wide to share this important occasion.

Indeed, I was very flattered when Audrey (David’s partner) contacted me to find out if I was available. It was very kind of Helen (Audrey’s sister who I have performed magic for before at work events) to recommend my services.

The Royal Oak is a fine venue which is located on High Street, Quorn and I thoroughly enjoyed providing close-up ‘mix-and-mingle’ magic for David and his guests. Card effects, sleight-of-hand and mysterious illusions are always great ice-breakers and talking points at parties. They help to bring the guests closer together, and liven up the proceedings.

It was a privilege to mingle with and entertain David’s guests

It was also fantastic to entertain the younger guests who were present with some child-friendly effects and balloon modelling too. It’s very important to include all of the generations at a birthday party so that everyone can share a magical experience!

Annie and Dean, The Sitwell Arms Hotel, Renishaw. 21st May 2022

It was truly fantastic to entertain Annie, Dean and all their friends and family at the Sitwell Arms in May this year. I was very fortunate to meet the lovely couple at Nick and Beth’s wedding at Stubton Hall in 2019, and I was very flattered that they decided to call upon my services for their own special day.

Annie and Dean requested that I entertain everyone during their early evening reception. The period from the end of the wedding breakfast until the first dance is perfect for a close-up magician to circulate freely with the guests.

It was a pleasure to perform card magic, sleight-of-hand, classic illusions and mind-reading routines for all age groups. Annie and Dean’s friends and family were a joy to mix with, and it was fantastic to receive such a tremendous reaction.

We were blessed with excellent weather on the wedding day, so I was able to mingle freely with the guests in the garden area and terrace to the rear of this superb wedding venue.

The outstanding Bailey Lonsdale Photography were Annie and Dean’s chosen lensmen for the day, and it was a pleasure to work alongside these consummate professionals. The wonderful photographs in this blog article highlight how they can expertly capture all those very special moments on a wedding day perfectly.
