Peckforton Castle is a beautiful Wedding Venue located in Cheshire. We perform at this venue on a very regular basis. Rising majestically above the Cheshire landscape, the castle is both enigmatic and enchanting. Originally the home of Lord Tollemache and built in the early 19th Century, this Grade I listed building is the only intact medieval style Castle in the country. Over the years the castle has been the location for numerous movies including Robin Hood and Dr Who. Now

A lot of people don’t realise how important booking entertainment is when it comes to planning a successful wedding. Most people will book a DJ for the evening and maybe a string quartet during the day and that’s it. However they will spend a small fortune on getting the correct chair covers that nobody will be able to see because they are sitting on them. I met a bride and groom that spent over £2000 on having a light up archway that people walked through to enter the evenin

We have performed at Dunchurch Park Hotel & Golf Club many times. It is one of the most popular Wedding Venues in Warwickshire. Located in the picturesque village of Dunchurch in the centre of the Midlands, this hotel offers comfortable accommodation with 89 en-suite rooms and free on-site parking. There is a variety of sporting and leisure facilities including a tennis court and fitness centre. Guests at the Dunchurch Park can relax with a few drinks on one of the hotel’s t

As well as being a magician and an illusionist I also offer a package to my clients called 'Become An Illusionist Team Building Sessions'. The concept is simple - delegates are divided into teams and each team is assigned a different Grand Illusion. As a team they have to learn every aspect of the illusion. They have to plan the presentation of the illusion and assign roles within the team. They have to work out the staging, lighting and music. Finally each team performs

8 Innovative Ideas for Successful Team Building Events Organising a “team building event” is a big responsibility. On behalf of Slightly Unusual I run dozens of team building events each year. Our 'Become An Illusionist' Team Building sessions are very popular. One of the key things we try to do is make every event we run memorable. Memorable not just for the delegates but for everybody involved in the day. You want the session to be fun and yet at the same time challengi

I have performed at weddings for over 15 Years. I have been to more weddings in the last six months than most people will go to in a lifetime. I also know the industry very well and I know a lot of wedding suppliers. Most wedding suppliers are awesome. They are ethical and will bend over backwards to help their clients. However there are some wedding suppliers that are exactly the opposite. All they want is your money and will do whatever it takes to get it. Ask any decent we

I frequently get asked what is the difference between a good magician and a great magician. What will cause a client to rave about a performance instead of just saying it’s okay. Having thought long and hard about this I think I have the answer. It’s not about the quality of the tricks or the image of the magician. It’s not about their marketing or social media. It’s simply about the art of communication and more importantly the ability to listen. In life and in business list

I have been a professional magician for 25 Years. I have performed all over the world in front of thousands of audiences. I have performed for audiences that have clapped politely. I have performed for audiences that have screamed and shouted. I have performed for audiences that have literally run away scared. I have even performed for one person that thought I was a devil worshiper! However I have never had an audience tell me that I was crap. I know what you are thinkin

Close Up Magic is a great way to really bring the WOW factor to any event. You can have a close up magician mix and mingle as guests arrive doing meet and greet style magic. You could have a close up magician perform table magic moving from table to table entertaining guests while they eat (a little like a mini cabaret show). You can even have a magician mingle with your guests after the meal, which is a great way to bring groups of people together. It makes a great conver
