A good host isn't loud; a good host is adaptable

I received a lovely five-star review this morning from Abbey and Matt, whose wedding I had the absolute pleasure of hosting on New Year’s Eve at the Royal Berkshire Hotel in Ascot.

There was one line in particular that really stuck with me: “He worked quietly in the background throughout the whole day, absolutely blowing people's minds!”

That’s not a sentence you often hear about a wedding host. Normally, when I host a wedding, I’m very visible. Big announcements, big moments, huge rounds of applause for entrances, and plenty of energy to create those brilliant napkin-waving shots for the photographers and videographers.

But Abbey and Matt didn’t want that. They wanted the day to feel effortless. Smooth. Relaxed. No one left out. Guests mixing naturally. Everything happening exactly when it should, without it ever feeling like they were being “managed”. And honestly, that’s the real skill of hosting.

Being able to bring the energy when it’s needed, and step back when it isn’t.
So yes, it’s a slightly understated review… but I couldn’t be happier with it.

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.

Transparency builds trust. Switzerland shows how.

Anyone who knows me outside of my professional life will know that I care deeply about animal welfare. One of my long-standing frustrations is how often consumers are misled by packaging that depicts happy animals in idyllic rural scenes: imagery that is often very far removed from the reality of those animals’ lives.

But now, Switzerland has stepped in! They have introduced new food labelling rules that put animal welfare and the consumer front and centre. Meat, eggs and dairy products will clearly state if animals were subjected to painful procedures such as castration, dehorning or force feeding without anaesthetic.

Whether or not you consume these products, this kind of transparency would put you back in control. If we had this in the UK, you could make better choices that genuinely reflect your values.

Should the UK be doing the same?

My year always starts the same way.
December is non-stop performing, but very little booking.
January is quiet, but busy behind the scenes. It's when I lock in around a third of my work for the whole year.
So if you're planning something special and want your guests to have as much fun as these guys, you know where to find me.

I bumped into the very talented, Martin Bell Photography , over the weekend, and he kindly sent me this fantastic image of me performing for the top table the last time we worked together at Rivervale Barn in Hampshire.

Sam and Kally were rolling with laughter – what a fun gig!

When reality breaks… reactions get very real.

I love this photo from a gorgeous summer party at Burnham Beeches Hotel in Buckinghamshire.

It captures that exact moment where the impossible happens right in front of someone — and all you get is a completely honest, instinctive reaction. No filter, no acting… just pure wonder.

Afterwards she said:
“I don’t believe in real magic… but that was real magic!”
That’s the kind of moment that makes my job so special.
