Wedding EntertainersAbout Merlin The Magician
My style blends comedy, psychology, and sleight of hand. Imagine if Tommy Cooper and David Blaine had a baby — funny, skilful, and just a little unbelievable. I don’t take myself too seriously, but I take your event seriously. My job is to make sure people are laughing, talking, and remembering the magic for years.
Magic runs in the family. My dad was a magician, and I’ve been performing since I was a kid. I turned professional at 14 and, thousands of shows later, I still love creating those “how on earth did he do that?” moments.
⸻
What I Do:
• Mix & Mingle – close-up magic as guests arrive or during photos.
• Table Magic – short sets between courses.
• Parlour / After-Dinner Shows – stand-up mind-reading for the whole room.
• Weddings – from reception to evening turnaround.
• Corporate & Trade Shows – crowd-building, product integration.
• Family Events/Children’s Parties – interactive magic, balloons, mini discos and more.
⸻
Why Book Me:
• 100% 5★ reviews & countless repeat bookings - 90% of my work is word of mouth/people I meet.
• Original, powerful material — no cheap gimmicks.
• DBS checked, PAT tested, £10m public liability.
• Calm, punctual, experienced — over 13 years and thousands of performances.

What You’ll Experience:
I break the ice, fill natural lulls, and energise the room. I read the audience, adjust pacing, and ensure everyone feels part of the magic, including mixed-age and neurodiverse guests.
Perfect for any number of guests.
Our Story
I’m now twenty-seven with a honed act, but I never walk in with a script. I read the room, lean into each crowd’s humour, and tailor the material so it feels personal. My objectives are simple:
1. Make people laugh,
2. Amaze them with magic they’ve never seen before,
3. Break the ice so conversation flows, and
4. Create memories that last.
About eight years ago I added a separate children’s show. It’s a different beast to my adult work—high-energy, colourful and relentlessly interactive. I make the kids feel like they are doing the magic, keep them involved every minute, and have them howling with laughter while the adults relax and enjoy the moment.

Absolutely wonderful show!
Merlin the Magician was brilliant! We had around 40 children at the party and they absolutely loved the show. They were engaged the entire time, with so much energy and laughter throughout. Even the parents enjoyed it! Highly recommended!!
Fantastic!!
We booked Merlin the Magician for our daughter’s 5th birthday party and he was absolutely fantastic from start to finish! He entertained the children for two full hours and had them completely captivated the entire time. The kids absolutely loved the magic tricks and were laughing, amazed, and fully involved throughout the show. Merlin was brilliant at keeping them engaged and made sure lots of the children could participate, which made it even more special for them. He has such a great way with children – fun, energetic, and very professional. The party ran so smoothly thanks to him, and the children are still talking about the magic! I would highly recommend Merlin the Magician to anyone looking for a children’s entertainer. He was tru
Such good fun!
Merlin was great and a real magician to be able to entertain countless children of all ages. Great communication and prompt arrival and set up. Thankyou so much!
Entertainment for small family gathering
We hired Merlin for my wife’s 30th birthday party and he was absolutely brilliant! It was a small gathering with both kids and adults, and he managed to keep everyone completely entertained from start to finish. The tricks were amazing and had everyone laughing and genuinely impressed. He was fantastic with the children and even finished off by making balloon creations, which went down a treat. The adults loved it just as much as the kids! I couldn’t recommend Merlin highly enough – he really made the party special and memorable for everyone.
Fantastic service.
