Tell us about yourself and how you landed your dream job as a wedding magician...

I am a UK magician and entertainer, specialising in elite and exclusive weddings. My services offer entertainment for the happy couple and their guests throughout selected periods in the day. My interest in magic began at an early age, with my first magic book given to me at the age of 7 - I was instantly hooked! I performed in school and my first paid performance was at the age of 12 for a friend's birthday. It's been my love ever since.

What's your top tip for wedding couples looking to book a magician?
When booking a magician, make sure you choose one that will suit your day and theme. Think about when you'll want them to entertain your guests. My recommendations are during the day drinks reception on the lead up to the wedding breakfast, after the meal before your evening guests arrive or whilst your evening guests start to arrive. These are the lull periods where you'll be mingling, having your photos taken, taking a breather, etc. and I will keep your guests entertained.

I will always wear a suit (unless asked otherwise) and arrive early in case your timings are a little off and I will never leave until you have experienced your own special performance with a souvenir to remind you of your special day.

What question do you get asked the most?
The most common questions usually asked are: "Can you make xxx disappear?" or "Can you make some cash appear?" The classics!

Experts Warn Against Using AI for Wedding Vows

Experts Warn Against Using AI for Wedding Vows

With peak wedding season approaching, experts are warning couples not to rely on AI to write one of the most personal parts of their big day – their vows. A survey by jewellers Queensmith has revealed that more than half (55%) of UK brides and grooms are now using AI tools to help write their wedding vows and speeches, raising questions about authenticity, originality and even potential legal grey areas. The findings come amid a growing debate around AI-written vows after a registrar in the eastern Netherlands saw a marriage called into question when AI was used to help write the ceremony script. In the case, the District Court of Overijssel ruled that "no marriage has been established" after it emerged the registrar had relied on ChatGPT to draft parts of the ceremony. The case has sparked wider concerns that AI-generated wording could unintentionally mirror existing vows or scripts found online, raising questions about originality and authenticity.

Marriage, Money, and Modern Love: Gen Z and Millennials

"As a family barrister, I spend much of my professional life dealing with what happens when relationships break down," says Rosanne Godfrey-Lockwood, Family Barrister at 4PB. "That vantage point inevitably shapes how I think about marriage — not cynically, but realistically. It is perhaps unsurprising, then, that one of the most notable trends I have observed in recent years is the growing interest in prenuptial agreements among Gen Z and younger Millennial couples.

Expert says prenups aren't just for the rich and famous

Legal experts at Richard Nelson LLP are urging Brits to rethink who prenups are really for. While often seen as something reserved for high-profile couples, data suggests they remain largely overlooked in everyday relationships. Just 7 percent of divorced Brits had a prenuptial agreement in place before separating, highlighting a significant gap between perception and reality. Regionally, attitudes vary. Manchester has emerged as the UK's 'prenup capital', with 13 percent of divorced couples having one in place, compared to 8 percent in London and 11 percent in Birmingham. Meanwhile, cities including Liverpool and Southampton reported no uptake among those surveyed.
