I was delighted when the lovely Tara and David asked me to perform close-up magic during their evening wedding reception at the fantastic Rufford Mill. This is always a wonderful time for some ‘mix-and-mingle’ prestidigitation – when bride, groom and guests are relaxing after the wedding breakfast.

The evening would be even more special as Tara’s Mum Marion is a big fan of magic, and has recently celebrated a very important birthday. The newlyweds had managed to keep my presence a secret, so it was a tremendous privilege to provide entertainment for the VIP guest!

One of the benefits of entertaining during the early evening reception is that I normally have an excellent opportunity to amaze the newlyweds. It was wonderful to provide both close-up sleight-of-hand and larger parlour illusions for Tara, David and close family and friends in the charming function suites of Rufford Mill.

Tara and David’s family and friends were a wonderful group to enthral with a variety of intriguing magical routines and illusions. Indeed, the delightful halls and rustic environs of Rufford Mill always provide the perfect backdrop for plenty of magical amazement on a wedding day!

Many of Tara and David’s friends had a natural fascination with magic, and it was a pleasure to have the opportunity to perform mysterious mind-reading and prediction effects later in the evening. This branch of the magical art is known as Mentalism, and one of its most famous modern day practitioners is Derren Brown.

It truly was a wonderful evening at Rufford Mill celebrating the wedding of David and Tara. Congratulations and best wishes again to the newlyweds, happy birthday Marion, and thank you to Rachael Phillips Photography, and Seana, Carmel and the staff of Rufford Mill.

It was a tremendous privilege to be part of the lovely Liam and Emma’s wedding day at the New Hall Hotel and Spa, Sutton Coldfield in May. Indeed, I was delighted when they contacted me, having been provided with a very kind recommendation from Scott and Nichola (friends of the bride and groom) who had both invited me to perform magic at their wedding at Pendrell Hall in 2019.

Liam and Emma requested that I mingle with their guests during drinks reception (immediately after the ceremony) and provide a little light table magic throughout wedding breakfast period. It truly was a pleasure to entertain such a lovely group of guests at such a stunning venue.
Magic for the newlyweds at the top table!
I always enjoy delivering a wide repertoire of magical effects, illusions, mind-reading routines and sleight-of-hand at wedding receptions. It was fantastic to perform in both the enchanting gardens and magnificent function areas of the hotel. During wedding breakfast, I was delighted to provide a little magic for Liam and Emma to experience too.
There are plenty of stunning locations for wedding photos at the New Hall Hotel and Spa!
Thank you again Emma and Liam for calling upon my services on your big day! It was tremendous to be part of such a magical occasion. Congratulations again, and best wishes for the future!

It was wonderful to be part of Kieran and Imogen’s big day at the magical Rufford Mill, Nottinghamshire in September last year.

Close-up ‘mix-and-mingle’ magic is ideal for wedding day entertainment, and it was a tremendous privilege to amaze Kieran and Imogen’s family and friends during the day reception. Curious card effects, intriguing illusions, and mystifying mind-reading routines were delivered both inside and outside the wonderful venue!

Child-friendly magic and balloon modelling are two other options I have within my repertoire – in order to entertain any younger guests who may be present too.
It is always magnificent to entertain the newlyweds along with their guests during evening reception on a wedding day.
Overall, it was a fantastic day at the enchanting Rufford Mill. Congratulations again to the lovely Kieran and Imogen! Thank you for investing your trust in me and inviting me to perform on such an important occasion.

Emma and Michael had also requested that I deliver some table magic during the wedding breakfast. This form of entertainment is rather different to close-up ‘mix-and-mingle’ magic, and I must always ensure that my performances are blended into the schedule in an appropriate manner between the courses. Entertaining the guests during this part of the wedding day allows me to perform a wide variety of illusions, sleight-of-hand and psychological effects which are all perfect for table-side. The guests, who I may have met during drinks reception, often invite me to entertain them during the meal.

I was delighted when Valentine’s partner Jacqueline contacted me to arrange some entertainment for his very special birthday bash in Burton Upon Trent. The venue was the fantastic Dial Restaurant on Station Street, and family and friends travelled from far and wide to share the occasion.

Close-up mix-and-mingle magic was delivered during drinks reception period. This is an excellent time for quick-fire illusions, sleight-of-hand and mind-reading routines. It always helps to generate lots of fun, laughter and conversation prior to mealtime.

During the dinner, it was a profound pleasure to deliver table magic for the guests. Everyone was in fine spirits and very curious to see some more magic.

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!
The beautiful Lincolnshire town of Louth is a hidden gem: Louth. Lincolnshire
