‘…our guests were in absolute awe of his magic. Everyone thought David was brilliant and mesmerising…’ Hannah and Ed, Gradbatch Mill, Buxton, July 2024
It was a tremendous pleasure and a privilege to be part of Hannah and Ed’s wedding day at the fantastic Gradbatch Mill, Buxton in July 2024. Indeed, I was delighted when the lovely couple asked me to perform magic during the early evening reception. It truly was a magical day at an exceptional location in the heart of the enchanting Peak District.
Close up magic for Hannah and Ed’s lovely guests.
It was wonderful to freely mix with the lovely couple’s family and friends, performing close-up magic. Magical card routines, mind-reading effects and classic illusions were the order of the day, and Hannah and Ed’s guests were truly a joy to entertain. This period of the wedding reception is fantastic as I can also provide some special routines of prestidigitation for the newly-weds.
Magic for Hannah and her lovely friends and family!

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.

A magical memory for Molly and Oliver
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!
I hope to return to Lincoln very soon

Jamie and Rachel, Langar Hall, 21st December 2023
I was delighted when Jamie and Rachel asked me to be part of their special wedding day celebrations at the fantastic Langar Hall in Nottingham. Taking place during the festive period, it certainly was an extra-magical occasion!
Langar Hall was the perfect location for the wedding day. With its rustic charm, homely interior and exceptional events team, the stage was well and truly set for an unforgettable experience for all.
Jamie and Rachel’s guests had travelled from far and wide to share the day. It truly was a pleasure and a privilege to chat to family members from both the USA and my home town of Glasgow prior to the highly unique and memorable wedding ceremony.

The lovely couple had requested that I mingle with the guests during the drinks reception. It was fantastic to perform close-up magic whilst the exceptional Stav (lead vocalist and guitarist of The Money) performed an acoustic set in the conservatory area. Card magic, sleight-of-hand, mind-reading effects and child-friendly entertainment were the order of the day during this period.
It’s always a pleasure to entertain all age groups! Photograph courtesy of Will Slater Photography.
After the wedding breakfast, it was superb to entertain both day and evening guests. Everyone was in high spirits, and this was a fine time for both visual illusions and larger parlour effects in the charming function rooms of Langar Hall. It was also a great privilege to perform some specialised customised magic for bride and groom, as well as for close family and friends.

Entertaining the lovely Molly, Will and their fantastic guests at the exceptional Bentley Brook Inn. Photograph courtesy of Paul Walker Photography
It was a tremendous privilege to entertain everyone on Molly and Will’s wedding day at the fantastic Bentley Brook Inn, Ashbourne, Derbyshire. Guests had travelled from far and wide to be there, and I thoroughly enjoyed providing close-up magic and table magic during both drinks reception and the early evening celebrations.
Card trickery, sleight-of-hand, mind-reading and captivating illusions always go down very well when the guests are enjoying a drink immediately after the ceremony. Some of Molly and Will’s guests had travelled all the way from Belgium to share this very special day, so it was great to perform a little magic speaking French too!

It was a pleasure to help kick off the evening revelries with some table-side entertainment. The period from the end of the wedding breakfast until the first dance is a fine time to amaze both day guests and evening arrivals with illusions and interactive magic effects. It’s always great to be able to include all generations on a wedding day too: from grandchildren to grandparents.
As always, it truly was a magical day at the Bentley Brook Inn. Congratulations again to the lovely couple Molly and Will! And thank you for investing your trust in me for your wedding day celebrations.

Trevor and Sue, Eastwood Hall, 23rd June 2023
Some outdoor magic for Trevor and Sue’s guests

Sarah and Jay, Cockliffe Country House, September 2022
It was tremendous to be part of Sarah and Jay’s wedding day celebrations at Cockliffe Country House, Nottingham in September 2022. It is always a pleasure to entertain at this fine venue, and I was very privileged indeed to mingle with the newlyweds’ close family and friends.
Sarah and Jay had a bright sunny day for their wedding, and it was a pleasure to perform magic in the gardens of Cockliffe Country House.
The period from the end of the wedding breakfast until the first dance is traditionally an excellent time for magic on a wedding day. It was fantastic to be able to provide close-up magic, child-friendly effects and balloon modelling too. Both day guests and evening guests can share in the entertainment during this time, and it brings everyone closer together. Sarah and Jay were blessed with fantastic weather, so guests were able to sit outside and enjoy the spacious gardens of Cockliffe Country House.
It’s always a pleasure to entertain all the generations on a wedding day
It truly was a magnificent occasion, and Sarah and Jay’s guests were a fantastic audience to entertain. One of the most wonderful aspects of performing magic on a wedding day is the appeal it has across the generations. I am always very fortunate to have the opportunity to entertain everyone from grandchildren to grandparents!
Congratulations Sarah and Jay! It was a magical day at Cockliffe Country House, and I am really looking forward to seeing you soon at Pat and John’s wedding this September.

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!
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

‘we must never forget that all the time, night after night, month after month, our bomber squadrons travel far into Germany, find their targets, often under the heaviest fire, often with serious loss, with deliberate, careful discrimination, and inflict shattering blows upon the whole of the technical and war-making structure of the Nazi power’
Sir Winston Churchill (British Prime Minister 1940 – 1945, 1951- 1955)
The International Bomber Command Centre, located close to the centre of Lincoln, is a poignant memorial to all those brave men and women who served our country in order to secure the freedoms we enjoy today. Make sure you visit this exceptional venue the next time you are in Lincolnshire.
The Memorial Spire stands at 102 feet tall – the wingspan of a Lancaster Bomber
I have friends and family members who have served in the Royal Air Force, British Army and Royal Navy. The Memorial Garden at the centre is a fitting tribute to the ultimate sacrifice of our air personnel. The Memorial Spire is the UK’s tallest war memorial standing at 102 feet tall – the same length as the wingspan of the Lancaster Bomber. There is a definite presence of the fallen when walking in the garden, and their names are inscribed in this fitting memorial.
Lincoln Cathedral can be seen from the Memorial Spire – its imposing edifice was used as a landmark by RAF flight crew
Lincolnshire has enjoyed a long and celebrated history with the Royal Air Force. My uncle – who served in the RAF – was stationed here prior to his tour of duty in Cyprus. The imposing edifice of Lincoln Cathedral served as a navigational beacon for RAF pilots during World War II, and it is fitting that this beautiful landmark can be viewed from the Memorial Spire of the International Bomber Command Centre.
A potent quotation on the wall of the exhibition
The exhibition at the centre is highly informative, and serves as an exceptional educational resource for younger generations. We are taken on an unforgettable journey into wartime Europe, and the extreme dangers faced by the RAF air crews during this period are potently revealed. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have grown up in a time of peace; which was secured for my generation by the bravery and sacrifice of those who lived during the horrors of World War II.
The gift shop offers a fantastic selection of memorabilia
The Lancaster Bomber is perhaps best known for the daring raid by 617 Squadron on the German dams in May 1943. The famous ‘Bouncing Bomb’ developed by Sir Barnes Neville Wallis has become part of British folklore, and inflicted a severe blow to the Nazi war machine. The Lancaster Bomber and the bravery of the ‘Dambusters’ pilots have also been immortalised in film, literature and popular culture.
Another extraordinary story about the Lancaster Bomber is the legendary account of Nicolas Alkemade whose aircraft came under attack over Germany in 1944. He fell 18,000 feet from his plane without a parachute and lived to tell the tale! Read about this fascinating wartime anecdote here: The Story of Nicolas Alkemade.
There have been many outstanding books written about the Dambusters
The International Bomber Command Centre boasts a fantastic gift shop which offers an extensive array of memorabilia. The restaurant is exceptional and provides high quality snacks and meals throughout the day. Indeed, the centre is an excellent choice of location for parties, corporate events, presentations and educational excursions.
My humble tribute to the Lancaster Bomber – a balloon model of this aircraft
I was tremendously privileged to perform magic for SERCO during their Christmas party at the centre in December 2022. It is always fantastic to visit, and I heartily recommend that you support International Bomber Command Centre, Lincoln and ensure that the memory of our brave air force personnel endures.
‘You are just incredible at what you do! Everybody was talking about you after our wedding, you were the glue that stuck the wedding together!!!’

Marian and Liam had asked me to provide entertainment during the evening reception, and it was a pleasure to meet and greet the guests as they arrived at the hall. It was a beautiful Derbyshire summer evening, so I was very fortunate to be able to perform close-up ‘mix-and-mingle’ magic outdoors.
The newlyweds’ guests were a treat to entertain, and it was great to see smiles on the faces of all generations. The tremendously talented photographer Melissa Maloo was circulating, and she expertly captured all of those important moments throughout Marian and Liam’s wedding. Indeed, Melissa, Marian and Liam have very kindly allowed me to display these superb images in this blog article.

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.
