The highlight of your celebration

The best parties bring together people from every part of your life. Close-up magic gives them a shared moment. Matt moves between groups as your guests mingle, or table to table at dinner, performing magic that happens in their own hands, with their phones, their rings and their thoughts. Guests who have never met end up laughing together.

Matt performs at 18th, 21st, 30th, 40th, 50th, 60th, 70th and even 100th birthdays, wedding anniversaries, Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, summer garden parties and private dinners, at home, in marquees, and at venues such as Gravetye Manor, the OXO Tower and the Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire.

This is modern magic for adults, not a children’s party act. It works for every age in the room, from teenagers to grandparents, and it’s the same magic Matt performs for global brands and celebrities.

Party magician FAQs

Hiring a magician for your party

How much does a party magician cost?

Every party is quoted individually, because the fee depends on the date, location, how long you’d like Matt to perform and your guest numbers. Send your details for a clear quote.

Are you a children’s entertainer?

No. Matt performs modern, sophisticated magic for adults. It works brilliantly for mixed ages, including teenagers and grandparents, but it isn’t a children’s party act.

Can you perform at my home?

Yes. Matt performs at private homes, gardens and marquees as well as restaurants, hotels and members’ clubs.

How long do you perform for?

Usually between one and two hours, depending on guest numbers, so every group sees the magic up close.

What kind of magic do you perform at parties?

Close-up magic as guests mingle or dine, mind reading, and iPad and phone magic. For a big moment, Matt can add a short featured show for the whole room.

Do you perform at Bar and Bat Mitzvahs?

Yes. The magic is perfect for teenagers and adults together.

Do you have public liability insurance?

Yes, £10 million public liability insurance, which many venues ask for.

How far ahead should I book?

As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. If your date is close, it’s still worth asking.
