SCHOOL MAGIC SHOWS
When it comes to inspiring young minds, nothing quite sparks their imagination like the magic of... well, magic! As an experienced magician, I bring a world of creativity, mystery, and excitement directly to schools with my engaging school magic shows.
TYPES OF MAGIC SHOWS FOR SCHOOLS
PARTY MAGIC SHOW
For smaller groups such as a whole class, my Party Magic Show (YELLOW) is a great fit. Filled with interactive magic, it will keep young people engaged and excited, it’s the perfect way to make part of the day special.
GRAND MAGIC SHOW
For larger gatherings or whole school events, my Grand Magic Show (GREEN) ramps up the experience. This stage show, includes a large Las Vegas style illusion, which is a spectacle that will leave every student awe struck and make the event unforgettable. This show works even better if you have a school theatre, drama studio, or stage.
WALKAROUND MAGIC
Another option for some events is walkaround close up magic. This works well for leavers parties, and school fairs and fetes.
School magic shows can happen anywhere. This one was in the school library.

REWARD ASSEMBLIES
End of term celebrations are a milestone for every student, a time when their hard work pays off, and they advance to a new chapter in their learning journey. After a term of hard work, students often look forward to reward assemblies. Celebrating this achievement with a magic show is an excellent way to acknowledge their effort and make the transition exciting.
Whether it's a Christmas party or an end of year event, my magic shows are a fantastic way to celebrate, filling the room with laughter and amazement whilst at the same time saying thank you to each and every student.
CREATIVE WRITING TOPIC
Many schools include magic as a writing topic, and who can blame them, with it's fascinating characters, mind bending tricks, and stories filled with suspense? When a topic as captivating as magic, is woven into learning, it can spark curiosity and ignite a passion for creativity in young students. By using the world of magic as a storytelling tool, teachers are able introduce important concepts, make learning interactive and foster a classroom environment that thrives on creativity.
And after a term of letting their creativity soar in their writing, what could be a better way to celebrate their hard work than with a live magic show? When the term ends with one of my live magic show, it reinforces their learning in a memorable and enjoyable way. Why not ask me to include a Las Vegas style Illusion? It will be a show (and a school term) they will never forget!
LEAVERS PARTIES
Adding magic to a primary school leavers' party can make an already special event truly memorable. Close up magic offers a unique and exciting twist to the traditional disco or party games. As I move amongst the young party goers, performing magic right in front of their eyes, I create personal and interactive moments of wonder that will have them captivated and amazed.
Unlike my group magic shows, close up magic allows each child to become part of their own personal performance. It not only provides entertainment but also promotes social interaction, as the students react to and discuss the tricks together. Whether it's making a coin disappear or performing a mind boggling card trick, the magic I bring to leavers' parties ensures it's an event the children will fondly remember as they move onto their new schools.
SCHOOL FAIRS AND FETES
School fairs and fetes are highlights of the school calendar, bringing together students, teachers, and parents in a celebration of community spirit. My magic shows or walkaround magic are a fantastic addition to these events, offering entertainment that’s enjoyable for all ages. It provides a spectacle that brings smiles to faces and laughter to the air. I've been lucky enough to perform at many school fairs and fetes, and I've seen first hand how a well-placed magic trick can bring an entire crowd together, creating shared moments of surprise and delight.
For more information on what's possible at schools fairs and fetes see my page on Festival Magic.
SCHOOL FUNDRAISING
Fundraising is a necessary aspect of school life, supporting valuable resources, trips and extra-curricular activities. My school magic shows are the perfect solution for PTFA fundraising as they serve a dual purpose, providing spectacular entertainment for the students while also helping raise funds for the school. There are several models we can use, such as a ticket split arrangement or a flat fee model where the school takes 100% of the proceeds.
MAGIC WORKSHOPS
To take the magic a step further, I also offer magic workshops. These aren't just about learning magic tricks – they're about interactive learning experiences that can be linked to curriculum areas such as science, maths and storytelling. My magic workshops offer a hands-on learning experience for students that can enriches the curriculum and school life. Workshops can range from small group sessions to larger class-sized workshops, and they always leave students with a sense of accomplishment and a renewed enthusiasm for learning. Just imagine how proud the students will feel going home to share what they learnt with their family and friends.
PLEASE NOTE: MAGIC WORKSHOPS ARE FOR AGE 8 +
School magic shows are more than just entertainment – they are tools that inspire creativity, reward hard work, enhance community events and even contribute to fundraising efforts. Whether it's a small classroom of students or a whole school assembly, there's a magic show that's a perfect fit. If you'd like to bring this magic to your school, I'd be delighted to discuss how we can make it happen. You can get in touch with me here.
