I used to be a Creative Director in London, but these days, I’m more likely to be borrowing someone’s wedding ring than discussing an advertising brief. I’m Brian Storey, a magician and mind reader based in St Ives, Cambridgeshire. I perform at weddings, corporate events and private celebrations across Cambridge, London and the wider UK. The magic matters, but so does how people feel around it. I like seeing a group go from polite conversation to laughing together, with someone insisting, “You have to show her that.” That might happen over drinks, around the dinner tables or during a short show that brings everyone together. I’ll help you choose what suits your guests and work around your timetable, venue team, food and speeches. My style is warm, relaxed and good-humoured. Guests are invited to join in, with nobody made to feel foolish. I’m a Member of The Magic Circle, an Equity member and covered by £10 million public liability insurance. Tell me your event date, venue and a little about your plans. I’ll reply personally with my availability and ideas for how the magic could fit.
