Congratulations Katie and Jacob!

‘Thank you for coming and doing magic at our wedding. Everyone really

enjoyed it and said how well it fitted into the day.’

Jacob and Katie

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!

Happy Birthday David!

I have had so many positive comments, everyone loved the spectacle

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!

All generations can enjoy a little magic at a special birthday bash

It truly was a superb day at the Royal Oak with live music and much revelry. David celebrated his birthday in style, and it was fantastic to mingle with, and entertain, such a lovely group.

Thank you again to Audrey, Helen and Mark (photographer) for providing these lovely photos from the day to pop on my blog.

Also, many thanks to Antonio and all of the staff at the Royal Oak for their kind assistance, and for making me so welcome. Make sure you visit this exceptional venue the next time you are in Quorn! Find out more about the Royal Oak at: The Royal Oak, Quorn

Congratulations Annie and Dean!

‘It was a massive privilege for us to have you share the day! Dean wouldn’t have had anyone else.’

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. Many thanks to Annie and Dean for kindly sharing these images, and you can find out more about Bailey Lonsdale Photography at: www.baileylonsdale.com

It was a wonderful day at the Sitwell Arms, and thank you again to Annie and Dean for inviting me to be part of such a special occasion. Congratulations again to the lovely couple!

Congratulations Chris and Sophie!

‘you absolutely made our day’

Sophie and Chris, Shustoke Barn, Coleshill, 19th April 2022

What a tremendous day it was; celebrating the lovely Sophie and Chris’s wedding at Shustoke Barn, Coleshill in April of this year. The wedding had been delayed several times due to the pandemic, so it was fantastic to see everyone enjoying themselves at this exceptional Warwickshire venue!

Sophie and Chris asked me to entertain their guests during the period between the wedding breakfast and first dance. This is a great time to engage friends and family, and I was also able to provide both Bride and Groom with a special magical routine as well.

If you play with me, then you play with fire! The superb Damian Burcher was on hand to capture all of the action on the big day – and he never missed a beat – expertly photographing all those very special moments. It was very kind of Damian, Sophie and Chris to allow me to display these fantastic photographs on my blog!

Performing close-up magic and table magic for Sophie and Chris’s guests was a pleasure and a privilege. I was delighted to be able to provide my full repertoire of effects which includes: card magic, classic illusions, sleight-of-hand and psychological entertainment. ‘Mix and Mingle Magic’ is versatile, and is always a big hit on wedding days!

I know what you’re thinking… It’s always magnificent to perform mind-reading effects on a wedding day! This form of magic always leaves the audience speechless and has a very profound impact. People who experience this phenomenon will talk about it for years to come, and it is very satisfying for me to deliver.

Congratulations Sophie and Chris! It truly was a magical day as the exquisite Shustoke Barn. I do hope to have the opportunity to entertain you all again in the future. Take care and best wishes. David Fox 🙂

William and Fern, The Quorn Country Hotel, 13th November 2021

What a fantastic day it was at the exceptional Quorn Country Hotel, Loughborough for William and Fern’s wedding day in November 2021. It was third time lucky for the lovely couple – their wedding having been postponed due to the lockdowns – and we certainly made up for the delay in style!

It was a tremendous pleasure to entertain guests of all ages. Close-up magic during the drinks reception period – as well as table magic during the wedding breakfast – was provided. William and Fern’s guests were a joy to entertain, and it is always fantastic to amuse the younger guests too!

The beauty of magic is that it can be delivered virtually anywhere! We were blessed with a mild sunny day last November, and I thoroughly enjoyed engaging the guests outside whilst the photos were being taken.

Congratulations Mary Ann and Elliott

‘We booked David for our wedding and WOW he was fantastic!’

Mary Ann and Elliott, Pavilion Gardens, Buxton, 22nd May 2021

I was delighted when Mary Ann and Elliott called upon my services for their wedding celebrations in May at the beautiful Pavilion Gardens in Buxton. This would be my first wedding reception since last October, and I was really looking forward to the occasion.

The majestic architecture of the Pavilion Gardens in Buxton. It was a tremendous privilege to be part of such a special wedding day.

The last time I had entertained at the Pavilion Gardens was at a charity fundraiser in the Grand Ballroom. However, due to the government guidelines, Mary Ann and Elliott’s wedding would be a much more intimate affair; which certainly made the day extra special.

I thoroughly enjoyed mixing and mingling with Mary Ann and Elliott’s guests in such a unique venue. Photograph courtesy of Clare Robinson Photography – http://www.clare-robinson.co.uk

Prior to performance, it was imperative to visit the venue and plan carefully for the day. Mary Ann and Elliott’s drinks reception was to be held in the majestic Winter Garden Conservatory and the exceptional Rita of Parkwood Leisure very kindly took the time out of her very busy schedule to discuss the unique format of the wedding with me. Indeed, the more planning and preparation a magician can do, the more powerful the magic will be. All of the staff at the Pavilion Gardens were fantastic and were keen to ensure everything ran smoothly for Mary Ann, Elliott and their guests.

You can always expect a very warm welcome from the exceptional events team whenever you visit the Pavilion Gardens in Buxton.

It truly was a massive privilege to mingle with such a lovely group of family members and close friends throughout drinks reception period. Guests had travelled from far and wide to share in Mary Ann and Elliott’s nuptials, and everyone was in fine spirits. We were also blessed with some sunshine which allowed everyone to sample the exquisite gardens, and the fantastic photographer Clare Robinson was always on hand to organise both group shots and capture those magic moments.

It’s always a pleasure to customise a little personalised magic for such an important occasion.

Clare and the lovely couple very kindly permitted me to display photos of magic being performed in this article. I am sure you will agree that the Manchester based photographer masterfully encapsulates those very special intimate interactions when the guests are drawn closer and closer together by the mysterious power of Magic….

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.
