About

This is the only time in your life that all your friends and family are going to be in the one place together, so say thank you with a close-up magic experience that will leave a lasting impression.

My performance is fun and engaging, I combine expert sleight of hand and an element of acting, to create moments where it seems mistakes have been made only to reveal a stunning finale! This unique blend always makes an unforgettable impact.

I've also created effects where a spectator can step into the magicians shoes, guided by a little training from me, and be part of performing an effect right before the astonished eyes of their friends. Your guests will fill with laughter and amazement as they watch one of their own create the magic, sparking connections and a shared excitement.

Friendly and reliable.

Member of The Magic Circle.

Performing magic for over 20 years, I understand different personality types and tailor performances to suit the preferences and sensibilities of each individual. Whether someone is outgoing and loves participate actively or prefers to observe quietly. I adapt my approach accordingly, ensuring that everyone feels, comfortable, engaged and included.
