We first met Steve at a wedding fayre. what drew us to him was my husband had the exact same name! We hit it off from the start. His magic really impressed us too!
We thought it was meant to be. He offered us a great deal, super reasonable prices compared to other magicians we had looked at.
He was amazing on the day. A huge talking point for all of our guests. He also made time and pulled us aside to do magic for us. Such a great magician and showman. His video aspect is great too!
Thank you so much for being a part of our special day

LISA ESNEY, BRIDE – PLOUGH INN WEDDING, 2024
Steve performed at our wedding in November and I cannot recommend him highly enough. Referred to by our guests as a “wizard”, Steve absolutely wowed everyone. He was the perfect entertainment, suitable for all ages and genuinely the best close-up magician I’ve ever seen. To top it off, Steve is a really lovely guy who fitted in with our guests beautifully. Thank you for making our day so special Steve!
HANNAH SCHOFIELD, BRIDE – TY NEWYDD WEDDING, 2024
Our guests are still talking about Steve four weeks after our wedding! After having worked with Steve for many years and watching his card tricks on work nights out, I knew I wanted him as a magician in our wedding! His tricks are so unique and I love the fact it’s recorded so that we get to see everyone’s reactions.

Steve was absolutely brilliant keeping our Wedding guests entertained. He made sure to include everyone and we loved that he captured it all to send us a video (we missed a lot of it as we were having our photos taken!). It was lovely watching it back and seeing all our guests enjoying with lots of laughs- and the little gifts (sweets, miniature drinks etc) were a nice and unexpected surprise!
I would definitely recommend you book Steve- all our guests were amazed!
RHI SWINTON, BRIDE – WOLFSCASTLE HOTEL WEDDING, 2024
Steve was amazing at our wedding! After seeing Steve at a wedding prior to our own, we both agreed we had to book Steve if he had availability and thankfully for us he’d had a last minute cancellation for our wedding date. Steve was amazing with all our guests, the children absolutely loved the magic & were mesmerised by all the magic Steve performed!
Steve really entertained all our guests & we would highly recommend him!! The adults were even left speechless at his magic. Thanks so much Steve
Steve performed at our wedding and he was absolutely amazing, better than we imagined! Everyone really enjoyed his tricks, the little touches that came with them made it even more special! Steve was really good with the children at our wedding, he had quite a following but took it in his stride, even taking on my nephew as his ‘apprentice’ which really touched me! We had so many compliments after our wedding and we really can’t recommend Steve enough! The footage you receive after the wedding is a really special touch and allows you to see all of the wow moments that you miss as the bride and groom! Thank you so so much Steve
HOLLIE CARRETT, BRIDE – THE ORANGERY WEDDING, 2024
Steve performed at our wedding day and was absolutely brilliant! He was able to fit in our booking very last minute and we’re so glad he could. Steve created a fun atmosphere and really got everyone in the mood for a party, so many people were talking about his amazing magic tricks for the rest of the day. Even our videographer admitted that he’s been trying to figure out the tricks for a long time and still hasn’t been able to. Thanks very much for making our day magical!
BECKY HALL, BRIDE – THE ORANGERY WEDDING, 2024
100000% recommend! We had Steve at our wedding on Saturday and he was absolutely amazing from the first point of contact! Everyone was kept thoroughly entertained throughout. All our guests are still commenting on how fantastic he was, even showing the kids how to do some tricks. We would 100% recommend Steve for any event, what a talent! We will be in touch for any future parties! Thank you so so much

JODIE ANN, BRIDE – NORTON HOUSE HOTEL WEDDING, 2024
Steve is really friendly and good energy! Everyone was dumbfounded at how he did his tricks and still talk about it a month later! My husband was very impressed after initially being apprehensive about getting a magician and loved every second of it. Especially the trick on his best man
Highly recommend!
RACHEL ANNE MARIE SMITH, BRIDE – RHODRI’S BY THE LAKE WEDDING, 2024
What can I say? Spent half the night in a sailors hat absolutely dumbfounded by what Steve could do! The look on my best man’s face after Steve’s one on one! Wow!
Cards, slight of hand, humour, personality, Steve has everything. All of our guests he spent time with could not wait to tell us about their experience. His performance was also adapted to the audience be it young or old which meant everyone could feel involved.
My one piece of advice is no matter what you do, make sure you consider Steve as part of your day, you will not be disappointed!
