Pete came and did magic at my 60th party and it really made the evening special. He went round doing tricks within small groups and everyone was very impressed.
Barn Wedding Magician
Close-up magic for barn and rustic wedding venues - the kind of relaxed, characterful setting close-up magic was made for.
About Barn Wedding Magician
Barns and converted rustic venues have become one of the most popular wedding settings in the country, and for good reason – the relaxed, characterful atmosphere suits exactly the kind of up-close, interactive magic Pete performs. No stage, no formal setup, just genuine astonishment happening in guests’ hands between the beams and fairy lights.
Pete’s magic has featured at barn and rustic wedding venues across Kent, Surrey and Essex – working the drinks reception while photos are being taken, moving table-to-table during the wedding breakfast, or mingling once the dancing takes a break. It’s entertainment that fits naturally into an already relaxed, informal wedding day rather than imposing a schedule on it.

We would thoroughly recommend Pete. He amazed and entertained our guests and everyone commented how brilliant he was.
Made the evening memorable for many. Highly recommended !
Pete came to our Golden Wedding celebrations where there was a full range of guests from youngsters to the retired. He performed a range of magic tricks that had everyone of every age agog. Everyone was enjoying it with the little ones just following Pete around, not able to believe what they had seen, and hard to impress ever sceptical teenagers amazed and engaged. If you have a multi generation event Pete is perfect and you will be very pleased you booked him for your event.
Booked Pete for my mums 80th birthday celebrations and was not disappointed. He turned up early, was completely professional, friendly, and blew the minds of all the guests there. Could not recommend him highly enough. Thanks Pete. Sorry it took so long to leave a review.
A performer who strives for perfection, dedicated to his craft and stops at nothing to ensure you come away completely entertained and questioning reality. Highly recommend.
Loved Pete’s magic at our wedding!
I’ve seen Pete perform magic many times. He is an excellent magician who is confident, skilful and a well-established entertainer. I couldn’t recommend him enough
What a fantastic magician! He performed at our wedding, everyone loved him!
Pete was absolutely brilliant. There is no feasible explanation for the tricks he did other than magic. We were all blown away - would highly recommend!
Pete was a fantastic addition to my birthday event! I've had a lot of positive feedback from my guests and would definitely recommend to anyone else looking for a magician for an event!
We booked Pete for our wedding and he was absolutely amazing. Our guests were coming up to us all night and messaging us the next day raving as to how much they enjoyed his magic. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him! I will keep my playing card with my new name and wedding date, that Pete produced from god knows where, forever! Brilliant.
Pete came to our 50th Birthday Party and did an absolutely phenomenal job! All our guests were blown away with his magic (as were we!), and with Pete himself being so personable it was nothing but a huge success! Thanks so much Pete.
Pete performed at our wedding last week and he was absolutely incredible! The guests are still talking about him now. The close up magic was amazing, and none of us can figure out he did any of his tricks. He was an absolute brilliant addition to our day and I’d recommend him to anyone, thank you!
We had Pete at our wedding last week and he was absolutely outstanding! Our guests where blown away with his magic and his work is fantastic! We still have people messaging us over a week later at how great he was. Would highly recommend Pete for a wedding, he helped bring our guests together at their tables and totally relaxed the room. We couldn't believe how amazing his tricks where! Thanks again Pete! We hope to use Pete again one day at our next big gathering. All the best, Rachel & Lee xxx
Pete provided the 'magic' at our Golden Wedding celebration. Everyone really enjoyed his performance and it provided the extra special element that we wanted for our family and friends. The youngsters there were also very impressed - never having seen a magician in person before and Pete's quiet professional manner went down very well - they loved it! I would definitely recommend Pete for a family occasion like this.
What a very brilliant act for all ages. We had children oldies and special needs and it was great for them all. HIghly recommended
Wow! Pete was perfection from start to finish. Efficient and professional communication prior to the event, relaxed and confident setup and utterly enthralling and mystifying throughout his performances. Our guests were blown away at the intricacies of his magic and many were discussing him in detail at breakfast the following morning. Absolute 5 star act and I would highly recommend booking him for the wow factor! Would happily see again at future events! Thank you Pete!
WOW WOW WOW!
We had Pete at our 25th wedding anniversary and what can I say!! He was absolutely brilliant and extremely personable. Words cannot express how he kept our guests entertained. They were truly mesmerised!!!A definite must for any party/celebration.
Peter performed at our 25th wedding anniversary party & right from the start he was brilliant. He circulated the guests and wowed them from the start. The magic was excellent and his engagement with everyone was top class, really started the nigh off well & I highly recommend him. The night was a success and I have Peter to thank for getting things going right from the start.
We booked Pete for our wedding in November and he was absolutely amazing! We would highly recommend him!
Made our night! What talent! Charmed us all with his affability as well as his magic - beyond incredible
Pete was superb at my father in law’s 80th birthday party. He stepped in last minute as a previously booked magician couldn’t attend due to Covid precautions. He is a very smooth, friendly and professional magician. He was the hit of the evening. He went from table to table performing illusions which delighted everyone. There was laughter and wonderment from everyone. I would thoroughly recommend Pete as he entertaining, and truly gifted with his craft. Book him, you won’t regret it.
I would highly recommend Pete! He performed at our wedding on Saturday and was phenomenal. Pete was one of the best magicians that I have come across and wowed our guests. Such a fun and special part of the wedding! Pete was friendly and very quick to respond to emails/messages. Thank you again Pete! Claire and Giran
Best Magician!!
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
I am based in Orpington, Greater London, UK, but regularly perform at high-profile events nationwide and internationally - including regularly across Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Essex, Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire.
Most bookings run one to two hours of mixed-and-mingled close-up magic, though I offer flexible packages from a short 45-minute slot up to a full day's entertainment - whatever suits your event.
The Magic Circle is Britain's most respected society for magicians, founded in 1905. It isn't a membership you can simply pay for - every applicant has to pass a formal examination (or submit a thesis) in front of a panel of existing members, demonstrating real skill and knowledge of the craft, before being admitted. I've been a Member since 2016.
Yes - I'm just as comfortable outdoors as in, so a courtyard, garden or marquee alongside the barn itself works well too.
No - close-up magic needs no power, sound system or equipment, so a rural barn venue is no different to any other setting for me.
