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.

Close-up magic with David and Maresh

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!

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 William and Fern!

‘Every single one of our guests was blown away by your entertainment including the children. Thank you for being a part of our day.’

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.

The exceptional Forever Pictures masterfully captured the magic on William and Fern’s big day. They were fantastic to work with, and please visit their website for more details: Forever Pictures Telephone number: 07939 631511 Email address: forever-pictures@live.com

However, if you are organising a special occasion, it is also available for weddings, parties and corporate functions.

Many of the top acts come to perform in the Town Hall’s theatre

Having had the good fortune to perform magic at the Town Hall on several occasions, I am always in awe of the tremendous facilities, elegant aesthetics, and stunningly spacious Victorian ballroom. Furthermore, the friendly and dynamic events team make my visits all the more pleasurable. I have very fond memories of providing table magic for Loughborough University’s end of term ball in May 2015. Lecturers and students alike could not speak highly enough of the venue, staff and exceptional catering. It truly was a magical evening at a very unique venue.

The elegant ballroom is perfect for wedding receptions, corporate functions and parties

Loughborough Town Hall are always very keen to promote their tremendous product, and last Wednesday saw them hosting a sold-out networking event in the ballroom. Sponsored by Edward Hands and Lewis Solicitors, it was a resounding success, and provided a wonderful opportunity for local businesses to liaise. The affable Nicholas Furlong was a fantastic host, and Russell Levenston (Managing Director of the Leicester Riders) spoke passionately about his love of basketball and the great achievements made by his team.
