Kellie and Luke got married on the 30th march 2012 and I provided table magic in between courses of the meal at the 3 Rivers Golf and country club in Essex. Here is the message they sent me the day after:

” Thank you so much for your amazing work entertaining our guests yesterday.

Everyone thought you were amazing so we are so pleased.

You helped make our day very special.”

For the 3rd year running I was asked to perform for the National Secular Societys annual awards dinner. at Floridita in London’s West End.

Attendees included Professors Richard Dawkins and Peter Atkins, Lord Avebury and, winner of this years award, Peter Tatchell.

Planning a wedding?

Best Brides are holding a series of Bridal fairs around the South East and I will be at two of the events taking bookings and performing magic.

So if you are in the Bromley, Orpington or South East London area then pop by as it is sure to be a great day.

A professional magician at your wedding is a great way of keeping your guests entertained throughout the day.

Here is a part of a letter from Diana & Alex who got married in Cardiff and asked me to perform for their friends and family in the evening of their very special day

“Thanks so much for performing at our wedding and doing such a great job.  Lots of our guests commented that they had seen you and were amazed so thank you – that’s just what we hoped for!

Also you  stayed late because our speeches overran so thanks, we appreciate that.

We will definitely recommend you.

Best of luck with your future performances.”

On July 9th I performed for Lewisham People’s day headlining the People’s stage with my outdoor buskers-style routine.

If you have an outdoor event or festival then this Trickman magic show is perfect!

I will once again be performing some shows at this years Lewisham Peoples Day at Mountsfield Park on 9th July 2011.

There will be two street busking type shows at the People’s Theatre at 2.50pm and 5.20pm where I will be entertaining the crowd in the open air with lots of great magic effects including my version of the oldest trick known to man, the cups and balls.

It is also a great opportunity for me to dress down a little ‘busking style’ and to legitimately wear my bowler hat with pride.

Lewisham Peoples Day is a totally free event and well worth a visit.

The following statistics were taken from a poll in Bella magazine

What people say AFTER the wedding day:

72% of brides said that they would spend more time choosing their reception entertainment

Almost 100% said that they would have spent more of their budget on the entertainment

78% of brides said that they would have made the entertainment their highest priority

81% of guests said the one thing they remembered most about the reception was the entertainment

Here is some lovely feedback from a private birthday party function:

We must have heard “AMAZING!” dozens of times. The  Party was a great success I think and everyone enjoyed themselves.

We will certainly pass your name on.

On Saturday 19th February the National Secular Society has awarded the 2011 Irwin Prize for Secularist of the Year to Dutch MEP Sophie in ’t Veld.

Thank you to the photographer and the Secular Society for allowing me to use these images.

I have performed at the National Secularist awards for the past 3 years and here is what they have to say about the entertainment I provide:

“Magic was provided by Neil Edwards, aka Mr Trickman, who is available for close-up magic at parties and events. He comes highly recommended, having bamboozled some of the sharpest brains in the country.”

- National Secular Society Website  

“Once again, many thanks for your superb efforts on Saturday (how you got Marco’s marked card into your wallet in a sealed envelope is still bending my mind a bit). I could hear the bursts of applause from around the room, so know that people were impressed.”

- Terry Sanderson

President of the National Secular Society.
