Reigniting a spark
If you read my blog, you’ll know I quit teaching three and a half years ago to travel the world then become a full time professional magician. As madcap as it sounds, I had been building the business alongside my teaching career for 7/8 years by this point and my gig schedule was always full […]
Travelling Outside Your Comfort Zone
Most people are more than happy with a 2 week all inclusive holiday somewhere hot like Sharm El Sheik and who could blame them? But if I’m totally honest, it’s not really my cup of tea. All of my blog posts so far have been about magic, obviously given I’m a magician. In this one […]

I learnt every trick that came with the pack of cards and performed them all relentlessly, practicing on anybody and everybody I could. Hungry to […]
Need entertainment for this year’s Christmas party?
As my December schedule is filling up pretty quickly I thought that now would be a good time to talk about the thing that most are waiting for: Christmas! I’ve been lucky enough to perform at some brilliant festive occasions over the years, and have done so at a variety of venues throughout Yorkshire and […]
Why you should hire a trade show magician
Following on from my most recent blog post about the benefits of hiring a magician for your wedding, today I’m doing the same, but for trade shows. To put it bluntly, when exhibiting at a big event it is crucially important to stand out from the crowd – doing so not only draws attention to […]
