Description

I perform a contemporary style of magic that is suitable for any type and size of event. From an intimate close up audience right through to a large theatre auditorium, my entertainment can be tailored to whatever is required. This means that regardless of whether you are planning a wedding, dinner, cabaret or simple family get together, every single one of your guests will be entertained in a manner that they will never forget.

Biography

I have been performing magic for over 3 decades now – 26 years professionally and 11 as a full-time magician/entertainer. I perform close up magic for adults, magic & circus shows for families and speak on personal development for corporates and in the education sector.
I always remain committed to finding new ways of sharing these interests with the people of Yorkshire, the UK and beyond, and as a result love working on a variety of projects. My Magic Masterclass and joint venture Circus Education, for instance, work towards teaching and entertaining at the very same time.

Matthew J Magic & Variety Arts - Wedding Magician - Wakefield, Yorkshire and the Humber Event Location: Leeds Event Type: Wedding Reception 1st October 2023
Thanks again for your show on Saturday, it went down really well and has been probably one of our guests' best parts of the day when they've been talking to us. Including my uncle who knows most of the magic secrets, he was really impressed with your showmanship and was baffled at some of the stuff you pulled off.

Absolutely outstanding. 🌟 Matt performed at our wedding last Augilust and he was brilliant from the 1st phone call to the last trick. All our guests loved him and was friendly, charasmatic, warm, engaging, great with thr kids and the slighly inebriated Aunties too 😇 Matt slotted in seamlessly and the quality of magic was talked about most of the night. Not an addition, a part of our wedding. I couldnt recommend enough. Thank You Matt and I know we will see you again. Fantasic performer, fabulous guy. Cheers, James and Jess Bannerman

We booked Matt last night for our 10 year wedding anniversary and I cannot find the words to convey how insanely good he was! Everyone has been talking about his tricks since the party and it was such a highlight for everyone. Matt was really responsive, turned up early, worked the room perfectly, making sure everyone had seen a good range of his set and even made some balloon animals for the kids. We absolutely recommend him, he's made the night so memorable.

Meet the Act

The journey started upon first learning to juggle at the ripe old age of ten: my mother would leave me in Mushy Pea, a juggling shop that was formerly based in Manchester.
Being taught all kinds of tricks in there really furthered my interest in entertainment, and I quickly became more and more intrigued by the magic department that they had at the back of the store. This fascination was only enhanced when my brother bought me a deck of Marvin’s Magic Cards one Christmas.
It’s safe to say that I was absolutely hooked from that point onwards.
As a street magician it was immediately ...
