From entertaining guests during the drinks reception to helping the entire day flow smoothly, Matthew can provide award-winning close-up magic, professional wedding hosting, or a combination of both.

OXFORD CITY
The Folly
Matthew has also performed at The Folly in Oxford, adding another genuine city location to a performance history that extends across Oxford and the surrounding county.
From intimate gatherings to larger celebrations, the magic is adapted to the venue, the guests and the atmosphere of each individual event.

Oxford's university setting creates some particularly memorable occasions. Matthew has performed at Lady Margaret Hall, University of Oxford, bringing close-up magic into one of the city's distinctive college environments.
The Folly
PRIVATE EVENTS & DINNERS
Close-up magic works particularly well for dinners and smaller celebrations, where the entertainment happens right amongst the guests rather than on a distant stage.
Hundred Hills Vineyard
LAUNCHES & SPECIAL EVENTS
Matthew also performed at Hundred Hills Vineyard for its opening, an example of how close-up magic can work particularly well for launches, hospitality and special events.
CORPORATE EVENTS
Get People Talking
At receptions, company celebrations, dinners and networking events, close-up magic provides an immediate shared experience. It helps introduce guests naturally and gives people something to talk about long after the performance has finished.
PRIVATE PARTIES

Stage & Cabaret Magic for Oxford Events
For events that call for everyone to share the experience together, Matthew also performs stage and cabaret magic for corporate events, dinners, celebrations and larger audiences.
ONE ROOM • ONE AUDIENCE
Bring Everyone Together
A cabaret performance gives the whole room a shared focal point and works particularly well after dinner, during an awards evening or as part of a larger programme of entertainment.
It can be booked as a standalone performance or combined with close-up magic earlier in the event.

LOCAL EXPERIENCE
From Oxford City to the Wider County
Every venue is different. A drinks reception in an Oxford college calls for a different approach from a large wedding breakfast, a corporate dinner or an informal celebration in a countryside venue.
Having worked at events across Oxford, Banbury, Stadhampton, Thame, Wantage and Henley-on-Thames, Matthew can adapt the magic to the venue, timings and atmosphere of the occasion.
