There is a grand banking hall in the heart of the City where the old Midland Bank once counted the nation’s money, and where, for the past eight years, I have spent my Wednesday and Saturday evenings reading minds. The Ned is one of London’s most beautiful rooms – green marble columns, the hum of a dozen restaurants under one …
Dinner Party Entertainment – Arranged by You
You have thought of everything. The wine is right, the table looks beautiful, and everyone who should be there is. And then, somewhere between courses, something happens that no one was expecting. Not a show, or a stage necessarily. Something impossible, right in front of your eyes, in your own home. For a moment your guests forget the conversation they …
Delighted VS Changed
For forty years, my work was all about attention. In elite sport, I sat with Olympic, World and European medallists and asked the same question every time. Where is your focus, and what is pulling it away? A hundredth of a second is won or lost there. Not in the body, but in the mind. Magic asks the identical question, …
The Best Magician in London? Let the Evening Decide…
There is a moment, a few minutes into any evening, when a room changes. A conversation that was polite becomes animated, strangers lean in, and someone laughs before they have quite worked out why. That moment looks different depending on where you are standing. At a private table, it arrives quietly. A borrowed ring, a thought you never said aloud, …
The Single Ingredient Behind Every Unforgettable Experience
The most memorable premium events all share one thing. It isn’t the venue, catering, or even the guest list. It’s a single moment – one unexpected, emotionally charged peak that lifts the evening from “well-organised” to genuinely unforgettable. Psychology has a name for this. Daniel Kahneman called it the peak-end rule: we don’t remember experiences as a whole, we remember …
Being Fooled Well is a Gift
There is a paradox at the heart of what I do. The sharper the audience, the more they tend to enjoy being fooled. It runs against intuition slightly, so it is worth explaining! The human brain is a prediction machine. We spend our days quietly forecasting what comes next and feeling a small satisfaction each time we are right. Have …
“How Did You Do That?”
“How Did You Do That?” … The question I hear every week! Most people think magic is about tricks and rabbits in hats… It isn’t – and honestly hasn’t really ever been. The real astonishment happens in the tiny moments your mind never notices. A shift in attention, or a hidden assumption, and even decisions you believed were completely your …

A Little Mystery Can Make All the Difference
Most events today are beautifully organised. The lighting is perfect. The food is exceptional. The speeches are polished. The room looks spectacular. And yet, something is often missing, a moment no one expects. A moment where the entire room suddenly leans in… and strangers start talking to each other. Where people laugh, and question reality. In other words, a little …
What Do Magic and High Performance Have in Common?
What do Premier League football, Grand Slam tennis, boardroom leadership and close-up magic all have in common? Pressure. Perception. And performance when it matters most. Over the past 30 years, I’ve been privileged to work as a performance psychologist with elite athletes, world champions and senior leadership teams. At the same time, I’ve built a parallel career as a mind-reading …
Are You A Sceptic?
You don’t have to believe in magic. In fact, scepticism is welcome. Some of the strongest reactions I see at events come from the people who begin the evening with folded arms, raised eyebrows and a quiet determination not to be impressed. The analysts. The engineers. The CEOs who have “seen it all before”. And that is precisely where the …
Why Magic Still Works in 2026
In a modern world of constant notifications, scrolling thumbs, and AI-generated everything, here’s something surprising in 2026: Magic still stops people in their tracks. Not because it’s nostalgic, or old-fashioned. But because it’s real, live, and happening right in front of you. In 2026, we are more digitally connected than ever, and yet attention has never been harder to earn. …

No prompts. Just their thoughts. And yet… I reveal exactly what’s in their minds. Their reactions say it all – disbelief, laughter, shock, …
