See the reactions for yourself
A minute and a half of real guests at real events: close-up magic, mind reading and iPad magic.
Trusted by the world's biggest names
From product launches and trade shows to company dinners and sporting hospitality, global brands hire Matt when the event matters.
Magic that works on camera
Magic for camera is different from magic in a room. It has to work from the right angle, read instantly on screen and survive the edit, and it has to serve your story or product. Matt works with agencies, brands and production teams from the early planning stages to get it right.
He can help develop the idea, design the effect, plan the method and staging, and then perform it on camera: for adverts, television, product campaigns and social content, including Instagram and short-form video.
Need magic performed live at an event instead? See bespoke magic, which is magic created around your brand and performed by Matt for your guests.

Working with a magic consultant
What does a magic consultant do?
A magic consultant helps a production create magic: developing the idea, designing the effect, planning how it’s done and how it’s filmed, and often performing it.
When should we involve you?
As early as possible, ideally while the concept and script are still being developed, so the magic shapes the shoot rather than being added at the end.
Can you perform on camera?
Yes. Matt performed on camera for Samsung’s Galaxy SII campaign, and his hands were used on the BBC drama Holby City.
Do you create content for social media?
Yes. Matt can create short, shareable magic for Instagram, TikTok and YouTube Shorts, built around your product or message.
Is this the same as bespoke magic?
No. Consultancy is for productions such as adverts, TV and content. Bespoke magic is created for your brand and performed live at your event.
How is consultancy priced?
It depends on the scope, prep time and shoot days. Send your brief for a clear quote.
Where can you work?
In London, across the UK and internationally.
