Matthew ended up being an integral part of our day and we were so very glad to have him!

A CENTURY OF MAGIC IN NORTHAMPTON
Part of Northampton's Magic History
Matthew's connection with magic in Northampton extends well beyond performing at local weddings and events.
Northamptonshire Magicians' Club traces its origins to local magicians meeting at the Exchange Café in Northampton in 1925, before the club was formally established in 1926.
Matthew served as President for two years and remains involved as the club's historian. In 2026, he organised the club's Centenary Show at The Magic Circle, celebrating 100 years of Northamptonshire Magicians' Club.
