Corporate Magician
These days corporate
entertainment takes up most of my time. The main challenge as a
corporate magician is the constant development and delivery of new and
original ideas and effects, to keep my magic fresh and compelling.
Great new ideas and tricks allow me to continually baffle, bewilder
and entertain many, many people at a huge variety of venues and events
all over the world.
In the summer of 2006 I was invited to perform in the presence of HM
the Queen at Buckingham Palace as part of her 80th
birthday celebrations and I perform regularly at venues such as The
House of Lords, Inner Temple, The Royal Horseguards and many of
London’s top hotels and function venues.
Recent client commissions have included PriceWaterhouseCooper, Lastminute.com, The
London 2012 Olympic Committee, BAE Systems, O2, Porsche and Audi to name
but a few.
I'm very proud that I'm consistently the magician of choice for some
of the world's largest blue chip companies and corporations.
“That was ridiculous!”- David Cameron, Primeminister
Close Up Magician for
Private Parties / Party Magician
Performing as a
magician at private parties is always fantastic fun. I love performing
close-up magic and making people wonder 'how on earth did he do that?'
I think the key to my success is the ability to not only make jaws
drop, but to make people laugh –
I've been told it's my subtle sense of humour and charming style!
Whatever the event you're planning – whether a small drawing room
gathering or a dinner party, to something much bigger such as an
awards ceremony or charity ball, I promise to leave a lasting impression on
your guests, who'll marvel at my sleight of hand magic and sensational feats
of the mind.
Clients who have previously enjoyed my performances as a close up magician
have included Royalty, nobility, celebrities, dignitaries, high
ranking military officers and sports personalities, as well as many
families and private individuals.
"CONGRATULATIONS!! You have taken my family and friends by storm!
Saturday 18th was an absolute triumph and about 70 people were in love
with you! I cannot express adequately how wonderful your act is, and
how impressed I, and my guests, were with your entire presentation. I
cannot visualise there is anyone who could better provide a higher
quality entertainment for any important occasion."
“Amazing!”- Dr Hans Rausing - Honorary Chairman of the Tetra Laval Group
"I
don't really know how to begin praising this exceptionally talented
man. He is quite simply a genius! We had guests of all ages from 2 to
80 at our wedding and David kept all of them spellbound. At one point
all the children were playing and the adults were fighting to get a
space to watch David! If you are considering hiring a magician for an
event, this guy is first class. David, everyone thought you were
fantastic and you helped make our day extra special. I can't thank you
enough."
Wedding
Magician
Of all the roles I
undertake as a magician, I think my very favourite is performing as a
magician for weddings. The chance to bring two families together,
and leave them laughing and thoroughly entertained on this very
special of days is an exhilarating experience. I always try to set the
mood for the day early on, because it lifts everyone's spirits,
ensuring a truly wonderful time is had by all.
I'm asked to perform magic at over 40 weddings a year, at venues all
over the world, so I have a tremendous amount of experience as a
wedding magician.
“Unbelievable! You're brilliant!”

Magician for Television
Having appeared on
television quite a number of times and found the experience both
terrifying and exhilarating in equal measure, I decided to take a
television presenter’s course.
I now regularly discuss magic on national and international
television and on radio. I've even had a starring role as a magician
in a national TV advertising campaign in Turkey, for a
multi-national company headquartered in Istanbul.
And I'm currently at pre-production stage for a pilot TV show for
Channel 5.
Please see my Showreel
for some of the highlights of my TV work.
"Consummate professional and
genius! Dave performed card tricks repeatedly to perfection under the
demanding environment of filming for television. It was thoroughly
enjoyable working with him and the show he did for everyone in the
office still has everyone totally flummoxed and talking about it! Thanks
again Dave!"

by one of my guests who said. “ I really did believe in magic.””- Francis Tomelty, Actress

Dear David,
Just a note to say how much we all appreciated your talents at Francesca
and Luke's wedding. Everyone was absolutely enthralled by your sleight
of hand and have been talking about you ever since. I think you probably
realised that as you walked away down the drive to sound of a great
cheer from all the assembled guests!
Once again, many thanks and our very best wishes.

“That was quite simply ....spectacular”
- Lord Taylor of Warwick,
Politician
"I
hired David for a new year's eve event that I was organizing for the
Arusha Hotel in Arusha, Tanzania. I have seen magicians before, all over the
world, but David was different and had a certain something that added a real touch of
class to the event.
Truly a professional
and amazing with people, his
tricks were both fresh and original. Within two days of
being here, he had a large portion of the town
talking about him. He caused such a stir that both
hotel staff and guests would crowd around him begging see more magic wherever he
went. David was an absolute pleasure to work with, and I would highly
recommend him to anyone thinking of hiring a magician for any function.
Thank you again David for all your help, I look forward to working
with you again in the future" - Justin Marshall - Tanzania
“Remarkable!”- Lord Goldsmith, former Attorney General for
England and Wales
"I can't help feeling rather smug that although
he demonstrates other tricks with aplomb, he hasn't taken my watch
unawares. And then it happens. Just when I wasn't expecting it.
He's standing in the middle of the room talking to our photographer,
who's trying to show him where he wants him to stand. And it
provides the perfect cover. In a couple of seconds, he's divested the
photographer of his watch." -
