The magic is all performed with humour and with familiar items (mobiles phones, rings, playing cards, credit cards etc), many of which are borrowed from guests.

Wedding London Magician
Weddings are a fantastic time for magic. It’s interactive and perfect for a broad audience. The magic is slick, sophisticated and funny.
The best time to hire a magician for your wedding is usually during the photo period. This is great as guests are having drinks and canapés. Alan will mingle around small groups and perform some incredible magic before moving on to the next group.
The wedding breakfast is also a great time if you’d like entertainment through the meal (between courses) and before the speeches.
London Magician Reviews
All our friends were mesmerised (and traumatised!) by your magic. We absolutely loved it too, of course. A real highlight of our spectacular day! A massive thank you. Chris and Nicola Holmes, London
Your close up magic tricks were nothing short of exceptional and there were many squeals of delight and astonishment throughout the afternoon from our confused, bewildered and thoroughly entertained guests. Really funny too. Alan’s the real deal, highly recommended. Jen Lawrence, London
I’ve seen a few close up magicians at events before but never anything to this level. He should have his own TV show! Thanks again and we’ll definitely be booking Alan again soon. I can’t recommend him highly enough! Steve, Guitar Village, London
Thank you for your fabulous showing at Annabel’s. You were terrific and we really loved having you there. The mind-reading and the bottle through the table! All very popular as was your spontaneous sense of humour. It was all really fantastic and we have been talking about how fun it was since then. It made me feel like a kid again.” Colin, Rhone Group, London
Everyone’s still talking about you, and even my most hardened, rationalist, cynical friends are half-convinced there’s actual sorcery involved. My daughter went to sleep murmuring about her magic fork, and is right now reading a book entitled ‘Illusionology’. Julia Rochester, London
