The Real Magic Family Show Hire – With Matt the Magician
As seen at Kendal Calling (Soapbox Stage), Lotherton Hall (Christmas Experience), Knowsley Safari Park, Bury Transport Museum (Thomas the Tank Engine Events), Whistle Stop Valley, Southport Flower Show, East Lancashire Steam Railway (Santa Events) & More!
A proper, wholesome, modern magic show with real WOW moments! Kids will be wide-eyed with amazement, and adults will find themselves laughing and gasping right alongside them. This isn’t a standard “kids show”—it’s a magical adventure filled with moments you’ll never forget, with expert sleight of hand magic and robotics! A (robotic puppet) mouse flies over the heads of the audience, and pops up during the show to create a riot, dozens of coins appear from thin air by the audience, eggs appear from a tiny empty examined bag, examined ropes stretch to three times their length, balls appear and disappear in the children’s own hands, children make handkerchiefs inexplicably vanish with the flick of a wand, and so much more!
Designed specifically to hire for tourist attractions across the UK: NO live animals, great for all ages, inclusive, works in small performance areas to big stages. We also offer a Christmas edition and a Halloween edition of this show.
For peace of mind, Matt has an up-to-date, clear DBS check and 10 million pound public liability insurance (documents for both available on request).
Crafting a Modern Magic Show
Before becoming a sought-after entertainer for Corporate Events and Weddings, Matt began his career as a children’s magician with a decade of experience. Over six incredible seasons in Spain, he dazzled family audiences as a comedy magician, close-up illusionist, and mind reader at the prestigious House of Illusion.
In the late 2000s, Matt shifted to performing for adult audiences full-time, but in 2021, a longtime client requested something special: a stage show for younger audiences. Inspired, Matt crafted a completely re-imagined children’s magic show, ditching the typical clunky, non-fooling, old-fashioned props and out-of-touch jokes for something truly magical, inclusive and modern for today’s audiences, combining his prior experience of entertaining children with the sensibilities of a world-class close-up magician. This show is packed with real wonder, jaw-dropping mini-illusions, and plenty of hilarious moments that will have everyone laughing and gasping in amazement!
What’s in the Show?
Each performance is brimming with unforgettable magical moments, such as:
Monty the Mischievous Mouse
Monty, Matt’s adorable puppet sidekick, steals the spotlight! Watch as he pops out of his little house, flies across the stage, and even climbs a 10-foot tape measure!
The Misbehaving Wand
No magician is complete without a wand—but Matt’s solid silver wand has a mind of its own! This unruly relic slips out of its case, soars 15 feet into the air, and creates chaos at every turn.
The Money Box
You’ll be amazed as Matt and the audience conjure dozens of real silver coins out of thin air. A show-stopping moment of true magic!
How Long is a Piece of String?
Witness a rope that defies all logic—shrinking, growing, losing its ends, and performing feats that will leave you scratching your head.
Silly Spheres
Little yellow balls appear, disappear, multiply, and even grow in the audience’s hands. It’s an explosion of magic and laughter with plenty of wow moments.
Not a Boring Card Trick!
Matt takes a simple signed playing card and turns it into the funniest, most magical routine you’ve ever seen. Torn to pieces, restored, lost, and found in the craziest way imaginable—this is no ordinary trick!
