In early November I was delighted to be invited to perform at Denise Welch's Charity Magic Castle Ball at Manchester's Principle Hotel. The star studded ball was in aid of the Rochdale based charity GEM Appeal and managed to raise over £45,000 for the organisation. The theme for this year's ball was all about magic and the Magic Castle and so Denise asked me to help her magically appear for her grand entrance. I decided to custom build a brand new illusion for the event where Denise would magically appear from a box that fills with smoke. The atmosphere in the room was incredible and the audience reaction to the illusion was amazing! It was a wonderful night and it certainly was filled with magic!

In the summer of 2018, I was approached to produce a new gothic medieval themed show for Lavender Hotels at their authentic medieval banquet hall at the Park Hall hotel which dates back to 966AD. The hotel is based in Lancashire next to what used to be the Camelot Theme Park and still runs medieval theme nights and weddings at the venue. With the current popularity with everything that is Gothic they were looking to house something special in their amazing venue. I worked with the team there to develop a live dinner show concept that features live stunts, escapology, fire eating, magic and comedy interaction all wrapped up in an immersive themed night that transports visitors into another world. Guests enjoy a delicious 5 course banquet, the amazing live dinner show and an after show party. It has been a delight to write, produce and direct the show from the ground up, bringing together the expertise of the stuntman team, fight choreographers, magicians, jugglers and comedians into the mix. The show currently runs monthly and is available to book here

I am delighted to announce that I have been invited to become the resident magician at the exclusive Opera Grill in Chester city centre. This amazing venue plays host to some wonderful events and artists each week and I was thrilled to be asked to join them each Sunday in their music lounge and on their gorgeous roof terrace. I will be performing some amazing close up sleight of hand magic around the tables entertaining guests and diners each Sunday evening from around 5pm. It is a real delight to perform this type of magic as the reactions from spectators is always wonderful. It is the fact that the magic takes place right under their noses that makes it so powerful. Come and join in the fun! My close up table magic is just one element of the Sunday line up. Alongside me on the terrace will be the amazing guitar vocalist George who will be performing a chill out acoustic set along with the resident DJs who will create that relaxed Ibiza chill-out atmosphere throughout the summer. In the main Music Lounge we have performing the resident gospel choir who present their amazing live show with 3 piece band. It is truly not to be missed.
