Magic at the dinner table

The dinner party everyone talks about

A dinner party magician turns a lovely evening into an unforgettable one. Matt performs close-up magic and mind reading right at the table, inches from your guests and often in their own hands, so every person has their own moment of astonishment.

It’s perfect for dinner parties at home, private dining rooms, supper clubs, milestone birthday dinners, anniversaries and engagement dinners, as well as villa and yacht dinners abroad. Matt fits around your evening: as guests arrive with drinks, between courses, or over coffee and dessert, without ever getting in the way of the food or the conversation.

Reviews

What dinner hosts say about Matt

★★★★★
“Matt got our party off to a flying start!! I have never seen such a bunch of cynics reduced to such open mouthed wonder and days later everyone is still messaging trying to figure out how he did it! BRAVO!!!”
Stephen O’SheaPrivate party, OXO Tower Brasserie, London
★★★★★
“We hired Matt for my retirement/birthday party at Langan’s Brasserie yesterday and please believe me when I say he was unbelievable. He performed his magic which doesn’t even begin to describe what he does for everyone in the room by going round each table and making sure everyone had a chance to witness his superb act. …”
Helen AdamouBirthday dinner, Langan’s Brasserie, London
★★★★★
“Matt was great at my parents’ recent Diamond Wedding dinner. Despite being a tad hampered by octogenarians forgetting which card they had ’picked’ and hazarding wild guesses, his magic shone through. Some of it was incredible and had people talking about it much, much later. …”
Ghilly RakuDiamond wedding dinner, Buxted Park
★★★★★
“What a great way to start a “party” I wanted an event that my family and friends would remember and they really did. It was so good we had Matt back for the main event on the Saturday after the family dinner on the Friday…If only I could work out how he does what he does I would give up insurance!”
Jeff LaidlerFamily birthday dinner, South Lodge
★★★★★
“We had the pleasure of having Matt perform at my birthday, and it was the highlight of the evening. His close up magic was absolutely mesmerising. My friends and I are still wondering how he did it! …”
Gigi MoonBirthday, London
★★★★★
“We had Matt entertain for my husband’s 40th and he was utterly brilliant. Everyone loved his style of magic (cool and contemporary) and the guests are still talking about it now. Highly recommend.”
