I had the most amazing time supporting the AIEA Awards last Friday at the ever-so-cool Radisson RED Hotel London Heathrow.

With 180 guests to entertain, the evening was filled with arrival drinks, dinner, awards, incredible fancy dress, and top-class entertainment — from a brilliant violinist and stunning vocals by , to some (m)ice-breaking magic from myself. The entire evening was expertly hosted by Alan Elston keeping everything running smoothly as well.

Usually, my role as The Icebreaker is all about bringing people together through engaging performances. However, at this event, this was not needed. The buzz in the room made it clear that there’s a genuine sense of friendship and community among the members. My role here was simply to add a touch of magic — and with everyone so friendly and up for a great night, it made my job an absolute joy!

It was lovely to meet you, Sabine Edward and Pauline Caldaralo — thank you so much for inviting me to be part of your event - Hopefully we’ll get the chance to work together again.

And it was also great to see some familiar faces and catch up with Maria Yacoub,Isabel García Nafría, Lisa Lernoux-Dock and Chris Bason as well as meet a lot of new people — so good to see you all!

Lastly, the video attached is of some rope magic that I can’t resist performing to a live violin! This was a little warmup for me before heading over to perform it around the tables. This routine is pure visual, eye-popping kind of stuff, perfect for the whole table to witness together!

💁🏼‍♂️ just leaving this here 😅

Long gone are the days of middle-aged men pulling fluffy white bunnies out of top hats in village halls - a new generation of magicians are using their magic wands in all the right ways 🪄 🥵

Look at those three handsome lads!
If you're hosting an event for hundreds of guests, one magician is rarely enough.
The good news is, you don't need to source a small army of performers yourself. One call to me does the job.
Over the years, I've built a trusted network of brilliant magician colleagues who I regularly work with at large events. Last Friday was a perfect example at the Beaumont Estate in Windsor, where I booked the very talented Ian Souch Magician and Leigh Edgecombe to work alongside me to entertain around 300 guests at a corporate staff event.
At various points throughout the evening, all three of us made sure we performed for the booker, Rebecca, and she gave us some really interesting feedback.
“Our styles were completely different, but all just as good as each other.”
This means guests across the room enjoyed genuinely different experiences, not the same act on repeat.
If you're planning a large event and want seamless entertainment without the extra admin, just get in touch.

In November just gone I thought it would be cool to predict who would win each round and ultimately become the champion, of a giant coin toss game for all 120 delegates that I was performing to.

Before I was introduced to the stage, I wrote down exactly who I predicted would win, and for maximum drama, I folded it up and hid it in my shoe, ready for the big reveal.

I walk on stage. I start the game.

And that’s when it happens.

119 people stand up to play… and 1 person makes a dash for the exit.
That 1 person — out of a 100 — just so happened to be my prediction.

I watched, in slow motion, as my guaranteed winner casually walked out of the room and left the event entirely.
I turned back to the audience, who were now eagerly waiting to play, while internally panicking and externally sticking to my script. Normally this game lasts a good 5–7 minutes. That night? We were done in four rounds. About two to three minutes total.
Luckily, the winner ended up being someone I’d already had a good interaction with earlier, so I leaned into it, congratulated them, and produced a small bottle of Prosecco as a prize.

I handed over the Prosecco, finished with a rope trick, took my applause, and walked off stage with a crumpled-up prediction still hiding in my shoe — never to see the light of day.

Later, I came clean to the event organiser, who found it hilarious that the only person to leave the room had been my prediction. She and the photographer even took the attached photo of me holding the prediction, which I believe was later sent to the culprit so they could be in on the joke too.

So yes — things do go wrong.
Quite often, you just don’t know they have.

Getting things wrong is no bad thing. We learn far more from mistakes than successes — and I’ve definitely learned one thing: Next time, I might need more than one prediction. 😄

This isn’t about me, it’s never about me. It’s about the experience your guests go on through and share with other guests; making your events more memorable.

That coupled with introductions so everyone has the best first impressions meeting new people, makes guests feel relaxed in the setting, making new connections all whilst being entertained = a successful event ✅ and my Icebreaking magic done correctly ✅.

This is the journey the lady in the middle of the photo is going on.

Starting 2026 on a high with a nice amount of bookings in January which will see me performing in my home town in Essex, and in the surrounding areas of where I live today.

January’s got me providing my Icebreaking magic for a Bowls Club, a conference, a corporate drinks party, a team building event, a 16th Birthday party, and I’ll be heading back to the schools to begin teaching my magic lessons from next week 😃.

For bookings please get in touch with me by DM here, or emailing: [email protected]

I truly mean it.

From relocating to Birmingham in 2019, to the lockdowns that brought performing to a standstill, then moving back to Reading, Berkshire before to then take a year out to travel — to say my business struggled would be an understatement.

Thanks to your incredible support, I’ve been able to rebuild my business with both new and returning clients, who have kindly thought of my services for their events and special occasions. For that, I feel truly humbled, honoured, and deeply grateful.

It means the world to me that I can continue doing what I love most; entertaining and bringing people together through magic ✨.

Wishing you all the most magical Christmas 🎅 and a wonderful New Year 🎆.

It’s been one busy December that I haven’t had the time to post where I’ve been and what I’ve been up to until now!

With a mixture of occasions and events throughout November into the final month of the year, it wasn’t until the second week of December when my Christmas party bookings began for me.

This festive season has seen me perform at corporate functions including end of year conferences, dinners, and of course Christmas parties from grand affairs to lowkey gatherings.

However it’s not all been corporate as I’ve have had the absolute pleasure to entertain for two wonderful 40ths, a 10 year olds birthday where I provided a magic workshop to him and his friends, and last night for a joint 21st twins birthday.

All whilst winding down my school magic lessons in Guildford only to start them again weekly from January with which is a surprisingly busy calendar already!

I have been seen performing at Wembley Stadium and Mr Foggs The Apothecary in London, at Denham Film Studios, De Coureys Manor in Wales, The Cosy Club in Reading, and Latimer House in Chesham, The Berystede Hotel in Ascot, Trunkwell House Hotel in Mortimer, and last night being the Newbury and Crookham Golf Club.

With a couple more parties to finish on before the big day next week, not to forget that I have the absolute pleasure of rounding off my year providing my ice breaking magic at the Lido in Reading for their sparkling New Years Party.
