    • Aug 2012 - Present

    Full time professional magician specialising in close up and psychological magic for weddings and corporate clients. The finest quality magic delivered in a relaxed and appropriate manner according to my audience. If working for corporate clients, on many occasions I will personalise magical effects to promote their goods and services. The emotional impact of my magic will last long in the memories if their customers and hence create an emotional hook to my clients. Hence trade show and exhibitions are one of my most popular engagements. My sales background is also utilised when working for my clients at trade show and exhibitions - a sales message delivered in a magical manner. Indeed I also create unique magical effects not just for my corporate clients but also for magicians as well. Within the magical fraternity I have released several effects, one of which was performed by Dynamo on one if his TV shows.Magic Team Building is a recent addition to my portfolio of services offered to the corporate sector. Delegates are taught magical effects which then are integrated into their own presentations. This is a unique bespoke experience which encourages teamwork, time management, problem solving, delegation, presentation skills all using magic as the key ingredient. Fun and different.I have recently set up a unique franchise opportunity called "Squiggle Magic Ltd". This is a ready made children's magic act suitable for children's parties for the age range of between 3 and 7 years. This is a very exciting development and I am currently looking to recruit suitable franchisees across the UK. For more information please email me for a prospectus.
