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 starts on a screen and ends in their hands
Everyone in the room has a phone, and nobody expects it to do that. Matt’s digital magic uses iPads and phones as the stage: a playing card taken straight out of a phone screen, a real object pulled out of the glass and handed to a guest to keep.
Matt is just as much an iPhone magician. Many of his routines work on a phone as well as an iPad, including guests’ own iPhones, so the magic can happen anywhere in the room with nothing to set up. In Qatar he was hired for a month to perform bespoke iPad and iPhone magic, and after one birthday party the review read: “we’re still trying to work out how he did the trick with the iPhone!”
At Wimbledon, Matt pulled a tennis ball out of an iPad for HSBC’s hospitality guests, and Tim Henman asked if everyone had seen it. At Twickenham he produced a rugby ball from an iPad for HSBC, performing for Scotland’s players. On the Greentube stand at ICE London, a crystal ball appeared from an iPad as part of a routine Matt wrote to mirror their game.
Because the screen can show anything, digital magic is the easiest magic to make completely your own: your logo on the screen, your website in the routine, and your product appearing from the iPad at the end. For Etefy, that meant producing their vanilla extract from an iPad. Watch Tim Henman’s reaction at Wimbledon.

Wedding Rings from an iPad at Emirates Palace
For a wedding at Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi, Matt was asked to create a bespoke piece of digital magic. Two beautiful ring boxes appeared on the screen of an iPad, then Matt reached into the screen and produced the real ring boxes, handing them to the bride and groom so they could exchange their wedding rings.

Hiring an iPad and digital magician
What is iPad magic?
Magic performed with iPads and phones: objects pulled out of the screen, real items pushed into it, and images that change in a guest’s hands. Matt mixes it with close-up magic so it feels personal, not like watching a video.
How much does an iPad magician cost?
Every event is quoted individually, because the fee depends on the date, location, how long you’d like Matt to perform and whether you want a bespoke routine. Send your details for a clear quote.
Can the magic feature our logo or product?
Yes. Matt can put your branding on the screen, use your website in the routine and produce your product from the iPad. The earlier you book, the more can be built in.
Do we need to provide iPads or screens?
No. Matt brings his own iPads and phones. For stage and conference work, the iPad can be shown on your venue’s big screen.
Do you perform iPhone magic?
Yes. As well as iPad magic, Matt performs iPhone magic, often with guests’ own phones, which makes the moment feel even more impossible. It is ideal for drinks receptions and parties, because there is nothing to set up.
Does it use guests’ own phones?
Some routines do, and they’re often the moments guests talk about most.
Is digital magic just a video?
No. Everything happens live, inches from your guests, and the objects that come out of the screen are real. Guests can hold them and keep them.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes, £10 million public liability insurance, which many venues ask for.
Do you perform digital magic abroad?
Yes. Matt has performed in 12 countries outside the UK. See the international magician page.
