What kind of magic do you perform?

I perform both close-up and stage magic using a wide variety of items, some prepared, some impromtu with whatever objects are to hand like napkins, salt and cutlery.

My award-winning cabaret show is for all ages and features card magic, money magic, rope magic, cup and ball and a mind blowing finale! You can see some examples on my video showreel

How long can you perform for?

Around 2 or 3 hours is normal, but please don't feel limited by that. I have performed close-up magic for up to five hours, but it's totally dependant on you and how long you require me to perform for. My stage shows last to 45-60 minutes.
