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.

Fantastic service.
Kids loved it
Amazing !
“Merlín the magician” absolutely smashed it with the K-pop demon hunter theme for my child’s 5th birthday! All the kids loved it! He had all the children engaged and having fun. The magic show had them in fits of giggles and the special demon hunter potion making just topped it off! Each child got a certificate to certify they were now a “demon hunter “ which was a great touch! Kids party games and disco and can’t forget the balloon animals! everyone had a great time can’t recommend enough. Even though our schedule didn’t go to plan he absolutely saved it and done what he could do to improvise for us! can’t thank him enough! No complaints, money well spent! :)
A Touch of Magic at Our Staff Party!
We recently hired Merlin at short notice for our staff party, and he was fantastic. He was engaging throughout the event, interacted brilliantly with our team, and was very accommodating of our last‑minute arrangements. His performance added a great energy to the evening, and we received excellent feedback from staff. We would happily book him again in future.
Super fun!
I would like to thank Benjamin (Merlin) for being a true professional! He was fun, kept the children busy and they had the best time! I definitely recommend his services and would definitely request him again on future parties for my kids.
Absolutely Fantastic!
Great communication from start to finish. Super professional and a great performance
