I was one of the Magicians who did Weddings and Events for the now-closed Funkytown Discos. Hundreds of Couples and Suppliers like myself have been scammed, conned and left out of pocket. Not everyone seems to know Funkytown Discos (aka Funkytown Entertainment owned by Stephen Vandenberg Owens) was an agency with acts like myself often booked at very last minute and payment always paid weeks if not months after the wedding or event (if paid at all).
If you have been affected by the closure and you booked a wedding magician, you will get me at the same discounted rates agents and agencies like Funkytown Discos pay. I will also take payment on the day for your peace of mind. Just get in contact to arrange.
My heart goes out to all the people affected by this. If your wedding is in the immediate future (before 21st Oct) and you’ve been let down for entertainment please get in touch and I will gift you some of my time, if I’m available to make sure you have some incredible entertainment. This is done on an honesty system – please don’t take advantage.
If you booked a children’s entertainer that would not have been me – whilst what I do is very family friendly it’s close-up / table magic more aimed at the adults (but very entertaining for the children too).
There is a Facebook group set up for all victims with a running total of the hundreds of thousands people are owed. Please contact your bank ASAP and see if they can help – many people are reporting they have been refunded (although not everyone has had such luck).
Please note all the suppliers I worked with for Funkytown were always excellent and professional, but unfortunately, the business was severely mismanaged by the owner.
Concorde BGW Group Doncaster Staff Christmas Party Magician
Hi Matt
Just a quick email to say thank you for yesterday. The whole team really enjoyed your performance and all commented on how great you were, it was a really fabulous addition to the afternoon. We wouldn’t hesitate to use you again or recommend you so a big thanks for coming along.

Christmas party season magic has been fantastic so far, and I’ve still got another week of travelling up and down the country entertaining staff, clients and directors. One of my favourite performances this December was at The Old Weighing Room (really great venue for parties!) at Doncaster Racecourse. Great group of people with a brilliant atmosphere for the day – the magic went down a storm. It’s always nice to get feedback from events and you can see Zoe’s feedback above.
This December I’ve been performing my close up and table magic for Christmas parties in London, Bolton, Liverpool, St Helens, Manchester, Doncaster, Sheffield, Nottingham, Birmingham, Leeds, Warrington, Bury, and Bristol. Next week I’m in some of the same places as well as Chester, The Wirral and Crewe.
Lots of my key dates got booked up in Aug-Oct so please book in ASAP for 2018 as soon as you have a date set to avoid disappointment.
Have a fantastic Christmas and New Year.
I’ll be finishing my shows on the 23rd of December and I’m looking forward to a Baileys and mince pie!
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.
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.
Not made an entry in a little while – just finished 5 weeks performing in Spain – had a great time performing for holiday makers, currently writing a brand new show for 2011…watch this space!
On the 26th of April, it will be a great big birthday bonanza at the Herald pub in Southport! It’s Dan’s birthday bash and I’ll be there from 5 pm onwards performing my close up magic and table magic, its free entry and its guaranteed to be a fantastic night of great magic, top music, and brilliant atmosphere.
If you ever though Sunday nights were a little too relaxing for your taste – come down to the Herald pub on the 26th for a magical early evening!
The above photo was taken by Southport’s Master of the Action shots, Mr. Nick Hill from digitalreflex- if you are looking for a photographer in Southport – Nick is a great guy to deal with and highly recommended. I popped in the Herald the other night for a casual magic performance – I think it went down a treat!
March is a brilliant month – although I maybe a little biased as I do have my birthday in March! Lots of new things are happening this month, I’ve already started compiling effects for my second magic book which will be released later on in the year, I’m working on a DVD for magicians and have started writing new stand-up comedy material for the comedy clubs.
This week I’m off to Bristol, to visit my old haunts. It’s hard to believe its been three years this year that I helped to create Illusions Magic Bar in Clifton. I met so many great people, and fantastic magicians that I like to try and visit at least once a year for a catch up.
When magicians get together and start playing around with card tricks and coin tricks it is known as a “Session” strangely enough. I’m looking forward to “sessioning” in Bristol, Also my best friend who is living in Bristol at the moment has bought me tickets to watch Derren Brown for my birthday, I’ve never had the pleasure of watching Derren Brown live as i’ve always been out of the country performing or too busy to go catch him on his tour – I’m looking forward to seeing his latest instalment.
All the Christmas parties are out of the way, and now the new year can now get started properly for myself.
From February to April is when I start working on brand new things for 2010, I’ve got some new mind reading routines that are being road tested as we speak, and plenty of new close up magic that i’ve been working on. As I get many repeat bookings each year, I like to expand the repertoire so that my regular clients never see the same show twice. Many magicians will do the same tried and tested things year in and year out, which is great – however as a booker you might think of hiring somebody else next time you require a close up magic or table magician – as you feel you’ve already seen what they do. I take pride in extensively pushing the boundaries of what I do so that every year the material is even stronger than the year before. Some things get retired or re-worked, others stay where they are, and the new items that get put in truly get better each year!
I’ve got lots of side projects and concepts that are being developed this year – I look forward to revealing more details of each throughout on coming months…
