Stage Magic

If you enjoy the thrill of traditional stage magic, Jonathan's choreographed stage routines offer you and your audience a variety of traditional and original illusions in fun, light-hearted performances.

"Classic Performance"
The multi-award winning signature act with which Jonathan has become internationally recognised. Prepare to be amazed as live birds are effortlessly produced, fire is manipulated and objects float through thin air. Style and sophistication are at the heart of this fast paced theatrical experience which will leave your audience spellbound.

"Enchanting Mysteries"
A spine-tingling piece of theatre transporting your audience back to their childhood. Jonathan performs beautiful magic in a gentle and engaging routine proving that nothing is impossible when you use your imagination.

Mind Manipulation

If you're looking for a magical performance with a difference then Jonathan's mind manipulation performance is for you. Jonathan will blow your mind with his powers of persuasion and artful mind manipulation.

Mind manipulation is a new generation performance style which has taken the industry by storm. The ability to influence people's thoughts is something many only dream of but now these dreams are becoming a reality.

In a much darker presentation Jonathan will involve members of your audience and involve himself in their thought patterns. Unbelievably he will predict the outcome of spectator's decisions and actions without making anybody feel afraid or embarrassed.

The processes used to influence minds and extract information are fascinating as well as extraordinarily entertaining. The performance builds to a heart-stopping finale in which Jonathan will rely only on his psychological techniques to keep him from harm.

Close Up Magic

Close up magic is always a popular performance - it's performed right under your nose, yet no matter how hard you try, you'll never see how the magic is done!

Imagine the amazement when Jonathan actually makes the magic happen in your hands as you watch. Objects are borrowed and handed out to your guests to create a magical experience arguably more credible than any other.
