Magic right under their noses

Give everyone something to talk about.

Close-up magic works brilliantly at private events because it becomes part of the party rather than stopping it. Shane moves naturally between groups, gets people involved and creates those brilliant little moments that pull a room together.

If the occasion calls for something bigger, he can bring everyone together for a stand-up performance too. The point is not to force every party into the same format — it is to use the right kind of entertainment at the right moment.

Your party. Your mix.

Built around the event you are actually having.

Magic. Music. DJ. Or all three.

A birthday dinner does not need the same entertainment as a garden party, an anniversary or a full evening celebration. Shane can tailor the package around your guests, your venue and the way you want the event to flow.

Keep it simple with close-up magic during drinks. Add live music while everyone settles in. Bring the room together for a stand-up set. Then move into a DJ set when it is time for the party to really get going. You can book one element, combine two, or build the whole evening around all three.

No rigid package. No unnecessary extras. Just the right entertainment, in the right place, at the right time.

01

Close-up magic

Right among your guests during drinks, dinner, a garden party or those natural gaps in the event.

02

Live music

Vocals, guitar or piano to give the event atmosphere without turning it into a formal concert.

03

DJ

Move the evening naturally into the party with music chosen around the crowd and the occasion.

04

Mix it together

Magic first, music later, DJ after that — or any combination that makes sense for your event.

Guests laughing during close-up magic

One entertainer. More possibilities.

Book the part you need — or let Shane carry the whole evening.

Shane is a magician, live musician and DJ, which means a private event can evolve without feeling like three separate suppliers taking turns.

He can start by breaking the ice with close-up magic, move into live music as the room settles, and finish behind the decks when people are ready to dance. Or he can do just one of those things brilliantly. The package is shaped around the occasion, not the other way around.
