Close-up magic, stolen watches, cold martinis and warmer manners. Costa del Sol's most talked-about wedding entertainment — allegedly.
Whispered About At
What actually happens when you book him — filed here for the record, in case anyone asks questions later.
Close-up sleight of hand performed inches from your guests' faces. Watches, rings and dignity go missing. Most are returned.
Guests will insist he's cheating. He isn't. Probably. Either way, nobody can explain how he knew.
Roams your drinks reception breaking the ice between total strangers — one card trick and one dry one-liner at a time.
Keeps tables laughing between courses so nobody notices how long the speeches are taking to start.
Filmed on location. No actors. Several genuine victims.
Exhibit A — Drinks Reception
Exhibit B — Table Magic
Exhibit C — Guest Reactions
Sworn statements from brides, grooms, best men and the odd suspicious mother-in-law.
“He stole my father-in-law's watch before the starter had even arrived. I've never seen my uncles laugh that hard in my life.”
“Our guests didn't know each other from Adam. Twenty minutes in, they were all accusing each other of being in on it. Best icebreaker we could have booked.”
“Genuinely can't tell you how he did half of it. My best man is still convinced it's a trick watch. It isn't. It was his.”
“Booked him to fill the gap during photos. He ended up being half the reason people talk about that wedding a year later.”
“Polished, funny, sharp as anything. Not one bit of the cheesy magician stuff we were dreading. Worth every euro.”
“He worked the whole room in under an hour and somehow every single table thought he'd spent the whole time with them.”
A small selection of recent scenes of the crime.

British. Frequently seen in Spain. Usually well dressed. Approaches groups of unsuspecting wedding guests and leaves shortly afterwards with several watches and a suspicious number of new friends.
Behind the nonsense is more than twenty years of professional performance experience at weddings, private parties and events across the UK and Europe. He's worked hotel ballrooms, beach clubs, private villas and everything in between — which mostly means he knows exactly how to read a room, warm up a stiff drinks reception, and disappear the moment the speeches start.
He doesn't do rabbits. He doesn't do a top hat. He does close-up, sleeve-up, impossible-to-explain magic performed a few inches from your face — the kind of thing your guests will still be arguing about on the flight home.
Known to frequent the following areas — villas, marinas, beach clubs and the odd yacht deck. Approach with a drink in hand.
Willing to travel further afield — ask about extradition. Sorry, travel fees.
Typically 60–90 minutes of roaming close-up magic, usually during your drinks reception or the gap between the ceremony and the wedding breakfast — timed to fill exactly the moments your day needs it most.
No stage, no table, no fuss. I work standing up, moving naturally between your guests with whatever's already in my pockets. Just point me at the party.
Anywhere from an intimate 20-guest villa wedding to a 200-plus black-tie affair. I work in small groups so everyone gets a proper look, however many people are on your list.
[Replace with your real answer — e.g. "Performances run in English, but the magic itself needs no translation — it plays just as well for non-English-speaking guests."]
I only take on a limited number of weddings each year — mostly so I have time to lay low. Popular Marbella dates (May–September) tend to go 9–12 months out.
Yes — the material is warm, sharp and family-friendly. No card tricks that require a security clearance.
Entirely fine — nobody's forced into anything. Most of the "victims" end up volunteering themselves once they see what's happening two feet away.
Relax. I usually give them back.
