Q: Are all your shows tailor made and what is a tailor made show?
A: All my shows are tailor made to some degree or other. The best way of describing why is to look at kids shows, for example; tricks for nine year olds will not be understood by three year olds, and nine year olds will get very bored if they have to watch half an hour of very simple three year old tricks. By knowing how many (if any) of a particular age group are in an audience, I can get this balance right. It holds true as well for adult audiences. If a family show has an average age of 70 then the feel of the show can be made slightly different to an audience with an average age of 25. When you contact me I can go through various ideas with you to try to give that extra something that makes your day just that bit more special for your guests.
Q: What are your magic credentials?
A:  I am active in three magic clubs and have been doing magic in a professional capacity for 5 years now. My proudest moments in magic so far have been winning the Pete MaCahon award for comedy followed closely by winning the close up magic competition at the FCM magic conference here in the UK and  FAME's Hinsley Hand (trophy for the most entertaining use of card magic)
Q: CRB,Public liability and licences?
A: I hold a fully enhanced CRB for both children and adults. I also have £10 million public liability insurance and am a member of Equity.
Q: Will you charge extras?
A: No not for the entertainment or magic. I do offer extras in the way of balloons and party bags but as these would have to be ordered before the day of the show so any extra charge would have been agreed then. There may also be a small fee to cover transport costs if working some distance from Aldershot. 
Q: What do I need to supply? Will you need helpers?
A: For all my magic I am totally self-contained with my own PA (sound) system, backdrop and lighting for my stage shows. I believe that if you have spent all this time hiring me then you as well as your guests should have time to relax and enjoy the show.
I am also completely self-contained for my party entertainment and children's magic show. The only thing required for my children's partys is that you provide and look after the food section of the party. I am not a babysitting service! It should be pointed out  that during the magic show it would be extreamely difficult for me to assist a small child if they required the toilet without stopping the show. Other unforeseen events do take place and for this reason at least one other adult is required to be present throughout both the performance and the entertainment.
