FESTIVAL MAGICIAN

For community events, festivals and larger outdoor stages across the UK, my jaw dropping magic and interactive comedy is a crowd‑pleasing option suitable for a wide range of ages, including the adults too.

My shows can sit within a festival timetable, or I can provide more flexible options such as pop up shows, drop in magic workshops, or walk around mix and mingle magic and entertainment.

In short, eye‑catching enough to pull a crowd, approachable enough for families, and flexible to the space you have.

MAGIC SHOWS

In the bustling environment of a festival, my magic shows are a destination, a place where festival goers can gather, take a break, and immerse themselves in the captivating world of magic.

The show is a spectacle designed to entertain a large crowd, filled with magic that appeals to both the young and the young at heart.

🡺 Plus the show is adaptable to your needs:

The magic show can shrink to a close knit performance for 20 people, or a grand stage show for 200 +
The show can run from 20 minutes to 50 minutes.
I can set up on a small stage, a marquee or even a patch of grass - however it is worth thinking about where the audience will sit or stand.
And you can book a single magic show, multiple showings throughout the day, or even pop-up shows, that appear and disappear like magic!

Performing on stage at a family jubilee festival.

WALKAROUND MAGIC

Walk around magic (also known as close up magic) is a unique, personal experience that leaves a lasting impression on festival goers.

Whether I'm entertaining queues, performing table magic at the food court, or creating spontaneous pop up shows at various festival spots, close up magic adds an extra layer of fun and entertainment to the festival experience. It puts a smile on their face, and gives people a story to share.

And if your event is likely to be very busy, I can even organise a team of professional close up magicians to work the crowd.

Thank you so much for the magic you performed for our fun day. The day went extremely well. My lasting memory is seeing lots of smiling faces, children and adults.

   Went to my Grandsons 6th Birthday party last Sunday.  Ready Steady Magic looked after the children from start to finish.  Lots of fun was had by all. All the parents were very impressed and the children had a wonderful time.  Would highly recommend.

   I can’t recommend Ed highly enough! He recently provided entertainment for my son’s 6th birthday party and he managed to keep 18 kids engaged and thoroughly entertained for 2 hours.  He’s such a natural with the kids and made sure he included all of them in some way while of course paying special attention to the birthday boy. All the parents commented on what a great party it was, and some said it was the best birthday party they had been to. He made it a really memorable occasion for us all. Thank you Ed!

   We had Ed round for my son’s 9th birthday party. Ed performed a 45 magic show followed by a 30 minute workshop in which he taught the kids two separate tricks. The kids absolutely loved watching Ed perform and then becoming performers themselves! They all went home and immediately showed their parents their new tricks! Would highly recommend, especially for any child who is interested in magic.

   Ed performed at my daughters 5th birthday and he was the perfect entertainment. I also have an 8 year old son who had friends there and all the children thoroughly enjoyed it. Non stop giggles and all round smiles. I have already recommended ready, steady magic to friends.

   Fantastic entertainment for our jubilee Celebrations. The children and Adults were all thoroughly entertained.Thank you 😊

My magic shows for older children, teens, and families are packed with jaw dropping magic and interactive (often improvised) comedy. It's the perfect entertainment for birthday parties, family events, community events, schools, and festivals. I mainly cover Stafford, Lichfield, Staffordshire, Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham, Wolverhampton, West Midlands, and East Midlands, but I can travel across the UK.
