I am a full time professional close up magician specialising in the weddings industry. I have worked at Gosfield Hall on numerous occasions. For weddings, I offer various packages covering three different parts of the day. The most popular of these is during photographs and the drinks reception. It’s nice to be able to relax knowing that your guests are being entertained. Some prefer magic at the dining tables during the wedding breakfast and this can really add to the atmosphere. Finally I can perform after the wedding breakfast and mixing with evening guests as they arrive.

Matthew is not just unique because of his record breaking achievements, his manner and charm never fail to make an excellent impression among the closest of friends and family.
His love of meeting people has nurtured an approach which understands the nuances of social dynamics to the point where he can read a room in seconds and effortlessly break the ice between people, creating pockets of conversation which fuel the already magical atmosphere of the wedding day.
Matthew has been the sole entertainment at hundreds of weddings (yes, he likes cake) and performed for thousands of people (he likes those too!). He has found there are three points during the day where showcasing his talents goes down best, these are; during the reception drinks, between courses of the wedding breakfast and the evening party.
