Questions & Answers For Weddings
Normally for a wedding I would perform for around 2 hours… if required I can also perform a short stand-up comedy
magic act of around 20-30 minutes.
Please contact me to discuss your requirements and i will provide a quotation for my services
My main priority is to entertain the guests, so I approach groups of people with small tricks to make them laugh.. then
lead into mind boggling tricks which they will remember for a long time. I don’t just do card tricks, I use a fire-wallet, rope, coins
etc.. a real variety of magic that people remember.
My parents were professional magicians before I was born, so I usually say that “I was their first trick that went
wrong”! … I have been a performer for over 45 years.
I ask for a 50% deposit… Once a booking is made, its in my diary.. and that’s it.. I definitely honour the booking, even if
I were to get an enquiry for the same date at the London Palladium!!… I honour your booking! I have never, ever let anyone
down!
I have performed at probably hundreds of weddings over the years, I love performing at weddings, every one of them
is different, and each and every one of them I treat as very, very special.
I perform a very special trick, which I call my ‘Romantic trick’… I give this to the happy couple to keep as a momento.
Questions & Answers For Private Parties & Cabaret…
My act lasts for around an hour… I can either perform Comedy Magic & Singing Impressions.. or just the Comedy
Magic. For Village Halls I do 2 x 45 minutes.

No, I am completely self-contained… I travel with my own Bose P.A. System, Back Cloth, Lights and pop-up ‘Spyder

My act is good clean comedy all the way through, mixed with great magic. I involve the audience. I also have a couple
of ‘mini-illusions’ such as my ‘Sword Through the Neck’ illusion; which I performed on TV’s ‘Bargain Hunt’.
With the singing part, I do impressions of famous singers such as Elvis, Cliff, Neil Diamond, Willie Nelson etc; etc.
