Reviews, Media, Awards & Recognition
Trusted by couples, companies and private clients across Dorset and the South Coast, I combine seamless hosting with unforgettable close-up magic — bringing energy, structure and personality to weddings, corporate events and private celebrations alike.
From welcoming guests and guiding key moments to creating mind-blowing reactions up close, my role is to ensure your event flows effortlessly, feels engaging from start to finish, and leaves a lasting impression on everyone in the room.
With years of experience hosting and entertaining at weddings, corporate functions and private celebrations across the region, I’ve been trusted to help bring hundreds of events to life. But rather than simply take my word for it, below you’ll find genuine feedback from couples, companies and private clients who have experienced the magic.

Media
Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of being featured across local radio, podcasts, newspapers and regional magazines, sharing insight into the world of professional magic and event hosting.

Together, these appearances provide a deeper look at the preparation, professionalism and responsibility that underpin every event I’m trusted to host and perform.

Awards & Recognition
Over the years, I’ve been incredibly proud to receive recognition from respected wedding industry bodies for both performance and professionalism. While awards are never the reason I do what I do, they reflect the consistent standard of experience I aim to deliver at every event.
National & Regional Awards
Industry & Peer Recognition
Alongside national and regional wedding industry awards, I’ve also been recognised within the magic community itself. Winning both stage and close-up competitions at respected organisations such as the Wessex Magical Association and Associated Wizards of the South reflects technical ability, originality and performance strength — judged by fellow magicians.
Audience Choice Award (Stage) 2024 - Wessex Magical Association
Audience Choice Award (Close Up) 2024 - Wessex Magical Association
Close Up Magician of the Year 2022 - Associated Wizards of the South
Close Up Magician of the Year 2022 - Wessex Magical Association
While clients may never see the competitive side of magic, that peer recognition underpins every event I perform at. It ensures the standard behind the scenes is as strong as the experience delivered in the room: polished, professional and genuinely impactful.
Being recognised at both national and regional level is a true honour. These awards reflect more than performance alone — they acknowledge professionalism, consistency and the overall experience delivered from beginning to end.
For my clients, they offer quiet reassurance that they are choosing someone trusted, established and committed to elevating every event with polish, energy and care.
