HIRE A MEMBER OF THE MAGIC CIRCLE MAGICIAN

When it comes to entertaining guests, from corporate functions to private parties and weddings, there's nothing quite as mesmerising and engaging as a live magic performance. However, choosing the right magician isn’t a decision to be taken lightly. If you're seeking a professional magician who has been recognised for their skill and dedication to the art, consider hiring a Member of The Magic Circle, one of the most prestigious magic organisations in the world.

A LEGACY OF EXCELLENCE

Founded in 1905 in London, The Magic Circle represents an international group of magicians who have dedicated themselves to perfecting the art of performing magic. This esteemed organisation not only promotes and preserves the magic but fosters a community of learning and adherence to the highest standards of performance.

I'm proud to have been a Member of the Magic Circle since 2011, alongside such legendary past and present figures like David Devant, John Nevil Maskelyne, David Berglas, David Copperfield, Paul Daniels, Fay Presto and Dynamo. You might not have heard of all those names, but rest assured that the rich history of The Magic Circle but inspire current members to strive for greatness in the art of magic.

Unlike many affiliations, membership in The Magic Circle isn't easily attained. The road to membership involves two existing members to vouch for you, a thorough interview and an examination, where aspiring members must showcase their abilities in front of existing members. This can sometimes be quite nerve racking, but it's a test of a magician’s commitment and expertise.

Choosing a Magic Circle magician means entrusting your event to someone whose skill and professionalism have been carefully vetted.

PARLOUR MAGIC

This style is an ideal blend between close up and stage magic. It's designed for smaller audiences in more intimate settings, such as a dinning room or lounge. This format allows for greater audience participation and interaction, yet with the theatrical flair of a stage show.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  We had a fantastic evening on 2nd August for our first ever JB33 Ball. Ed had been recommended to us and exceeded our expectations. Ed wandered around the tables engaging with people, they were blown away from the magic. We were also looking for someone to compare the evening and although Ed hasn’t done much of this he happily took on the challenge, the evening flowed as it should. Would highly recommended and will definitely use Ed next year.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  I saw Ed at a TedX talk. He smashed it. He displayed all the tenets you associate with a public speaker and I really enjoyed his presentation about embracing chaos and responding to what happens when things don’t go to plan. And the magic trick at the end was maaaaad!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  We recently had Ed perform at my father’s 80th birthday dinner, and it was absolutely amazing! He did a fantastic job connecting with guests of all ages, keeping everyone entertained with his incredible tricks and close-up magic. Moving from table to table, he had everyone in awe, from the kids to the grandparents. His charm, humor, and impressive skills made it a truly memorable experience. It was the perfect touch to a special day, and I can’t recommend him enough for any event! We will definitely be visiting him at one of his shows in Lichfield in the near future.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  I'm  so glad I took the gamble and asked Ed to visit our group to perform his talent.  It was Magic! This was a mid week, mid afternoon booking in a community hall. Not what you'd consider to be 'show biz'. He gave us a performance that amazed us all. His tricks covered mind reading, disappearing items, card guessing, predictions  and more. He engaged with many members of our audience,  which thrilled everyone. We were all amazed that even being up close, we couldn't work out how he did the tricks. I would hire him again.
