"The Great Adamos was exactly that. It was absolutely perfect and terrific party entertainment. The Great Adamos made sure that every single person in the room experienced his dazzling trickery up close and personal. Everyone thanked me for putting on this entertainment, but my thanks are all to Adam himself!
Amazing experience!!!"

• Feb. 24, 2019"Single word review is 'Fantastic', however, that doesn't really help. Adam was very helpful pre event and was clear what he would deliver for the party (6 year old boy birthday party, 30 child guests and parents). Everything that was promised was delivered and Adam held a party full of children screaming in delight with Magic, Games and Jokes. Parents weren't left out and had a great time watching their children enjoy themselves while enjoying magic that appealed to all ages. As the organising parent, I was able to sit and enjoy the event as Adam managed everything and told the children when to sit down for food and when to come back for more games.
I'd recommend The Great Adamos without hesitation and hope that a suitable event arises where I can book him again.
NB: I don't know how Ranking is rated here, so have left this unadjusted!"

(11)Table Magician
As a professional magician, close-up magical entertainment around a dinner event is something I have honed over countless bookings. Each event is different and I try to tailor my services to best fit the occasion.
The entertainment is light-hearted, professional and reflects well on the host. My philosophy is to be polite, friendly and to perform much of the magic ‘in the hands’ which makes the effects personal and memorable to those involved.
I can perform close-up table and strolling magic before, after and in-between courses. I’m flexible whatever the format and will certainly make the event memorable and one less thing to worry about.
I do hope you choose to book me as these events are such fun for all involved. Do not hesitate to ask if you require any more information, advice, or to make a booking. Good luck with the preparations.

(11)Trade Show Magician
Want a ‘wow’ magician for trade show stand?
I am an experienced professional and understand the importance of attracting potential clients to a trade stand where competition and time can be against your interests; Interactive and proactive, while at the same time ensuring the entertainment is light-hearted, professional and reflects well on the host. My philosophy is to be polite, friendly and to perform much of the magic ‘in the hands’ which makes the effects personal and memorable to those involved and will draw them towards your stand. By researching your company, I can incorporate specific items if possible and add relevant patter into the routines.
I will liaise well in advance with either yourself or a representative from the company so that I know what goals your company are expecting to achieve by exhibiting. This will enable me to prepare magical routines and effects that are bespoke to the event and increase the interest in your stand.

(11)Care Home Magician - 40 Minute Show or Strolling Magic
A professional magician with lots of experience entertaining in residential care homes for the elderly
The following are examples of the type of performances I can be booked for and are tried and tested. ways to incorporate magic into your regular entertainment:
• A PARLOUR SHOW; presented to the residents (and guests if required) which is a small stage type performance in a lounge where your customers are seated to watch the entertainment. This lasts about 40 minutes and is interactive which involves as many as possible in the show. The routines are humorous, baffling and produce gasps of amazement… even the staff can get involved! I have performed this type of entertainment for such events as Christmas parties, St George’s Day and for charity days in care homes.
• STROLLING AND TABLE MAGIC; A more informal type of entertainment where I move between individual/groups of residents performing a short close-up routine in turn. This works well for general gatherings and parties. As a rule of thumb, it will need about an hour per 40 residents. If appropriate, every now and then I will perform a short routine to the whole gathering.
I can add balloon modelling to the above as a light-hearted end to a session… this always goes down very well.
I am self-employed and can provide PLI and a risk assessment.

(11)Adult Parlour Show
A magical parlour show is a more formal presentation to a small audience of up to 30 guests which was popular in Victorian times… a bit more like a mini stage performance but with close-up magic. This is great for smaller gatherings and can be an alternative to strolling close-up; it will require a dedicated area with guests gathered around. The show is best presented for a duration of up to 40 minutes. Extra time can be allocated to strolling close-up after or before the main show.
The show is fully interactive and gets everyone involved. It's a great way to add something different to your event.
If you send me a picture of the birthday 'boy/girl' I will get it printed onto the backs of playing cards as give-away mementoes and a fun ending to a particular card routine.
Please contact me should you wish to know any more information or advice. It is my aim to provide quality magical entertainment for any situation.
From: £180.00

(11)Balls and Proms (Schools) - Strolling Magic
School balls and proms can have that extra 'sparkle' with a strolling magician. As a professional magician, you can be assured of the quality of entertainment I offer. My routines are entertaining, amusing, baffling and a great talking point long after the event… after all, I rely on it to get repeat bookings and recommendations!
Balls and proms are fantastic fun! I work as a mix-and-mingle magician visiting small groups of guests at a time and making the event even more magical and memorable. I can even provide balloon modelling if required.
I am accommodating with times as there is usually some 'dead-time' when magic isn't suitable (speeches/everyone eating etc.) and I understand these events will benefit from a certain amount of flexibility on my behalf. My fee is a one-off payment… I won’t ‘disappear’ until happy that my work is done.
I have an enhanced DBS, Public Liability Insurance and can provide a risk assessment if required. I can also provide another quality magician for the same rate if you think 2 magicians are needed.
From: £150.00

(11)1st Birthday Parties
I offer a simple 1.5-hour package which is great fun for the children and gives the adults some kid-free time as well:
1.5-HOUR PACKAGE: this comprises a 45-minute interactive magic show suitable for all ages followed by games and balloon modelling. The routines are all child-friendly and are also enjoyed by the adults too! There’s lots of fun, silliness, magic, and a visit from Terry the cheeky puppet bird. I am fully self-contained for the duration and require no preparation on your behalf except for a small performance area and room for the children to sit while the show takes place. Every child will get the chance to make a balloon hat or have a balloon model made for them.
I am fully DBS checked and have £10 million insurance.
I CAN ALSO OFFER AN ADDITIONAL 30-MINUTES OF CLOSE-UP FOR THE ADULTS FREE OF CHARGE.
From: £160.00
per event
(11)Magician Evening Package (Midweek)
WI +other organisation evening package (midweek)
Entertainment around an evening function is an area which I understand very well and I offer a reduced fee service to reflect the organisation and mid-week booking.
I ensure the entertainment is light-hearted, professional and reflects well on the host. My philosophy is to be polite, friendly and to perform much of the magic ‘in the hands’ which helps make the effects more personal.
I suggest close-up table magic in-between courses/buffet and a cabaret type floor show after the meal. The show is best if around 30-minutes in length. I’m flexible whatever format you wish and will certainly make the event memorable and one less thing to worry about. I am a regular magician at various Rotary and Women’s Institute functions and keen to make your meeting a fun and memorable one.
From: £100.00
per event
(11)Magical Stage Show
The magic stage show is a 30/40-minute show which is suitable for adults and teenagers. From experience, a stage show is best if it is not too long. I can, however, tailor the entertainment in any way you require should you wish to book me. The routines are fun, thought-provoking, family-friendly and highly memorable.
I am self-contained with PA system and radio headset (with PAT cert.). I can provide PLI, DBS and a Risk Assessment if needed.
Strolling close-up entertainment can be added to the package.
From: £200.00
per event
(11)Holiday Club and Pre-School
I am used to performing for pre-school, after-school and holiday club audiences and can recommend a few packages that will be suitable for the wide range of ages:
1-HOUR MAGIC PACKAGE: this comprises a 40-minute interactive magic show followed by a magic workshop (where I teach some basic tricks). The workshops are best with children above the age of 6 but can be enjoyed by younger children. The magical routines in the show are all child-friendly and are also enjoyed by the adults too! There’s lots of fun, silliness, magic, and a visit from Terry the cheeky puppet bird. I am fully self-contained for the duration and require no preparation on your behalf except for a small performance area and room for the children to sit while the show takes place.
I am fully DBS checked and have £10 million insurance. A responsible adult (other than myself!) will still need to be present.
From: £130.00
per event
(11)Adult Party Magician
My close-up magic involves a variety of good-humoured and thought-provoking routines using objects such as cards, coins, and rope; the magic happens right in front of your guests' faces and sometimes in their hands. As a professional magician, you can be assured of the quality of entertainment I offer… after all, I rely on it to get repeat bookings and recommendations!
At most parties, I work as a strolling magician visiting small groups of guests throughout the occasion. If the party is at a private residence you can opt to have a ‘Room of Mystery’ where I set up and perform a short set of magical routines (10/15-minutes) in a spare room where guests drop-in at their leisure.
I cater to children as well. Just give me the numbers and age-range and I will bring extra to keep them entertained; I always have balloons with me so younger children can have a few models made for them to take home.
My one-off fee (£180) is not time-dependent. I stay for as long as necessary (without overstaying my welcome!) and won’t ‘disappear’ until the job is done. With most smaller gatherings (less than 40) I would recommend around 1.5 hours of entertainment. Larger parties will need between 2 and 3 hours depending on numbers.
From: £180.00
per event
(11)School Magic Showcase + Optional Workshops
I offer a brilliant stage show for primary schools. It is a 40-minute show based around the theme 'Do you believe in magic'… And the ‘children’s magic’ is also entertaining for grown-ups too!
I am fully self-contained, so great for the teachers to relax and enjoy the show + the children having fun.
It won't be the normal show I do for kid's parties! I make it truly magical. Objects disappear, reappear, and have a life of their own. It’s great fun too and will have everyone laughing! I even finish with a floating table (powered by 'fairy magic'... but you have to believe!).
I can finish with a Magic Masterclass where I teach some simple magical sleights to learn a routine of their own. This can be done as a whole, or in classes.
I can provide enhanced DBS, PLI and PAT certificates (I bring a small PA and radio headset).
I WAS A TEACHER FOR OVER 20 YEARS BEFORE BECOMING A PROFESSIONAL MAGICIAN SO SCHOOL SITUATIONS ARE ‘NORMAL’ FOR ME.

(11)Family Fun Days and Festivals
Magical entertainment for children and family audiences is an area which I understand very well. I ensure that the entertainment is light-hearted, fun, professional and reflects well on the host. I have plenty of experience entertaining at family events where the focus is on the children, whether it is a Fun Day for a public house, council-run play schemes, community events, corporate family days or charity festivals.
I offer a variety of packages for you to choose:
1.5-HOUR ‘PARTY’ PACKAGE: This comprises a 45-minute interactive magic show followed by balloon modelling. The routines are all child-friendly and are also enjoyed by the adults too! There’s lots of fun, silliness, magic, and a visit from Terry the cheeky puppet bird. I am fully self-contained for the duration and require no preparation on your behalf except for a small performance area and room for the children to sit while the show takes place. Every child will get the chance to make a balloon hat or have a balloon model made for them. I adapt the show so that it appeals to a wide age range.
1.5-HOUR STROLLING PACKAGE: This involves strolling close-up magic for adults and children with occasional ‘cabaret’ type street performances. This has worked well for me in the past at community events and gets everybody involved. If you have a small stage area I can do regular short magic shows for the children throughout the allocated time with the close-up performances in between. That way I can be utilised throughout the occasion to entertain all.
I provide a radio headset microphone and a small PA. There must be a suitable dry area if the weather is unkind!
I am fully DBS checked and have £10 million insurance.

(11)Older Kids and Teenagers Parlour Show
I have a great package for OLDER CHILDREN (9 YEARS +)
For older children, I recommend a parlour show (a more formal presentation to a small audience which was popular in Victorian times). It's a bit more like a mini stage performance but with close-up magic. This will require a dedicated area with guests gathered around. The show is best presented as a performance of up to 40 minutes… too much magic in one go can be self-defeating. As an ex-teacher of over 20 years and my experience of entertaining for children and adults, I know this makes marvellous entertainment without being patronising to the children.
I then do a fun balloon modelling session where I can teach the children how to make a balloon hat or animal. Balloon modelling is fun for all ages! Alternatively, I deliver a short workshop on basic magical sleights used by professional magicians (boys like this one!).
I am fully DBS checked and have £10 million insurance. A responsible adult (other than myself!) will still need to be present.
From: £140.00

(11)Corporate Dinner - Magician - During & Either Side of Dinner
Many thanks for your interest in magical entertainment for a corporate event.
As a professional magician, corporate/office close-up magical entertainment is an area which I understand very well, whether it is an event where valued staff can enjoy comedy magic and mind-reading or a more formal event where clients may need to be impressed with the quality of entertainment on offer.
I ensure the entertainment is light-hearted, professional and reflects well on the host. My philosophy is to be polite, friendly and to perform much of the magic ‘in the hands’ which makes the effects personal and memorable to those involved. If you have guests who require particular attention (such as loyal customers) I can incorporate items specific to your company should it be required. Either way, I will research the company and try to add some relevant items or patter into the routines… I feel this makes the entertainment more bespoke for the event.
If a meal is involved I can provide close-up table magic before, after and in-between courses and if you would like a short cabaret type floor show after the meal I am happy to oblige. I’m flexible whatever the format and will certainly make the event memorable and one less thing to worry about.
I do hope you choose to book me as these events are such fun for all involved. Do not hesitate to ask if you require any more information, advice, or to make a booking. Good luck with the preparations.
