Update!

I had a great time performing over Christmas – I didn’t do any January Christmas Parties this year, so they might have declined in popularity!

Been a great few months to kick off the year, performing across the North West and the Midlands. Some really great feedback I’ve added to the testimonials and I’m looking forward to attending all the functions in the coming months.

As always there are many repeat bookings, so there will be a few new things that I can’t wait to show!

If you are looking to hire me for your wedding over July and August, please get in touch ASAP as dates are quickly filling up for wedding season.

Bad Magicians buy their testimonials

There is a flurry of magicians buying fake testimonials and reviews from places like FIVERR, yes literally playing $5 for a fake testimonial of their services. So far I’ve seen entrepreneurial Canadians, Americans and Germans armed with a video cam and script provided by a UK Magician, and uploading their cringe-worthy efforts onto youtube as if it were genuine. It’s not only pathetic – it’s an insult to customers intelligence.

Please stop, or you will be named and shamed.

Southport Magician

Southport Magician

Matt Colman – Magician at Vincent Hotel, Southport 2011

I recently performed my close up magic at Southport’s luxurious Vincent hotel for a 30th Birthday party, as you will see in the following pictures the guests are being delightfully deceived, wowed and bamboozled, these pictures really are worth a thousand words.

As you can tell from the photographs, the magic went down a storm and was enjoyed by all the guests. These pictures were taken by Southport based photography company Imageroom studios please see http://www.imageroom.biz/. Mal and the team at Imageroom are some of the finest photographers I’ve ever worked with, because those moments of pure astonishment, where the body and mind cannot explain what it has just seen, responds to this with awe, shock, pleasure, delight, laughing and clapping; and these are the most vital moments of any magic performance, during the close up magic at the Vincent that night, Imageroom studios perfectly captured the guests reactions. That is, by no means an easy feat! Mal has a beautiful eagle eye for detail that is shown in the above photographs. I can’t recommend the Southport based photographers Imageroom studios enough, not only do they do photography for parties and other special events they also do wedding photography, portraits and much more, head over to their website to find out more, and tell them Matt Colman sent you.

Henley Festival Magician

henley festival magician

I’ve just completed five days of performing at the Henley Festival, entertaining hundreds and hundreds of wonderful people, including celebrities, millionaires, and top CEOs; my performances have been wrote up by local and national papers including the Daily Express.

The events headlining acts were, Tom Jones,  Jools Holland, Alexandra Burke and others. I was based on the Water Pavilion, a boat/bar showcasing the exquisite cocktails made from Patrón Spirits, and upstairs, a tapas restaurant where you could sample Spanish dishes from La Bodega. Whilst guests enjoyed cocktails, champagne and tapas they where treated to my close up magic, which went down extremely well; as did the food and drink!  The feedback has been terrific and i’ve never got through so many business cards in such a short amount of time!

Liverpool University Magician

Over the years i’ve done quite a few close-up magic / table magic and mind reading performances for Liverpool University, last night I did the annual summer ball for the Liverpool Veterinary University Society (LUVS). It’s always a pleasure, the guests and students are both appreciative and and great fun to work with. Yesterday was the hottest day of the year, and the reception was held in the gardens of Chester’s Queen Hotel, it was the first outside reception i’ve done this year, and with the weather warming up hopefully the first of many. Once again thank you for inviting me to another great event, and look forward to doing more events with Liverpool University in the future.

Britain’s got talent / Roberts world of magic.

Many people ask me why I don’t go on Britain’s got talent – truth is as I’m sure you are aware, the tv show (much like every
reality show) is edited in such away they can make you look like a nationwide joke. Some great acts have suffered from producers / editors Frankenstein representations of performances. Combine that with slick editing and mismatching audience and judges comments and reactions and you can potentially damage your reputation and career. Some people have done well from Britain’s got talent, it is a huge gamble, and one that I am not willing to take. On the other hand – some people are genuinely rubbish. Take Robert from the BBC’s ‘Believe it or Not’ for example – don’t worry – we aren’t all as bad as him.

If you can handle it – there is more.
