Description

My magic shows, routines and sideshows are predominately one man shows.
My magic and illusion shows are themed around my passion for Circus, Fairgrounds of yesteryear, Side Shows and Classical Music.
My work is available as a ‘Theatre of Magic’ scenario with ever changing shows to programme within an intimate and unusual space.
Each headline show is 80 minutes in duration of which each show is created of scenes which form separate spots of 12 minutes each. The show titles are:
‘The Magic Cavern’
‘The Magic Toy Theatre and Orchestra’
The Fun Fair at the Magic Theatre ... ’
‘The Magical Hats Exhibition’
‘The Side Shows of Wonder’
‘The Spooky Magic Theatre’
‘The Superstitions Magic Show’
‘The Magic Art Gallery’ Read More

Over 9 hours of different magic and illusion to choose from and schedule into your programme.

Meet the Act

I have been the luckiest. I have honed my talents, passions and hobbies as an artist, a lover of anything magic, circus, old fashioned fairgrounds and sideshows, classical music, especially Beethoven and Stravinsky, together with travelling the world into my work and my creations I offer out to the theatre and cruise ship market. I say lucky, because I have done this without restriction for so long and the creativity never falls. I have so many more stories to tell and create. For those who know me and will know me, join me for a cup of tea and a chat.
