The Magic Starts Here

More than a show.
An experience.

When Paul performs, something shifts in the room. Conversations spark, strangers become friends, and for a few breathtaking moments, the impossible feels entirely real. This isn't stage magic with smoke and mirrors – it's intimate, interactive, and happens right in your guests' hands.

With three decades of experience – from royal performances to residencies at The Ritz – Paul brings a rare combination of world-class skill and natural warmth that elevates any occasion.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of events do you perform for? +
I specialise in creating unforgettable moments at weddings, corporate functions, and private celebrations. Whether it's an intimate dinner party in the Cotswolds or a large-scale corporate gala in London, my goal is to break the ice and ensure your guests are fully engaged from start to finish.
What is the "Magic Paul" style of performance? +
My performance is less about stage smoke and more about genuine connection. I perform close-up magic inches from your guests – it happens in their hands and right in front of their eyes. It's designed to spark conversation, turn strangers into friends, and leave people talking about your event for a long time afterward.
Do you perform for both children and adults? +
Yes. I have a long-standing reputation for being able to switch seamlessly between audiences. I'm comfortable keeping a room of children spellbound or holding the attention of a high-level corporate crowd. The magic is always tailored to fit the vibe of the group in front of me.
How does your Hosting & MC service work? +
Think of me as the "glue" that holds your event together. I combine high-impact magic with confident hosting to ensure your event runs smoothly. I can introduce speakers, manage transitions, and keep the energy high so that every moment lands exactly as you intended.
Are you insured and professionally accredited? +
Absolutely. I am fully insured with Public Liability Insurance and hold the rank of Associate of The Magic Circle with a Silver Star – a designation that reflects my commitment to the highest standards of the craft.
How far in advance should I book? +
Popular dates – especially during peak wedding and holiday seasons – tend to fill up quickly. I recommend getting in touch as soon as you have a date in mind. Fill out my enquiry form and I'll get back to you within 24 hours to see if we're a good fit.
What areas do you cover? +
I am based in North Oxfordshire and frequently perform across the Cotswolds, Oxfordshire, and London. I am happy to travel for events – let me know your location when you enquire and we can discuss the logistics.
