I was travelling Southeast Asia, working at a bar in Laos, when I met a magician named Adam Axford. He performed close-up magic for the patrons and the room went completely silent. People forgot their drinks. Conversations stopped mid-sentence. I had never experienced anything like it.
Back in England, I taught myself sleight of hand. Cards, coins, borrowed objects. Axford became my mentor. But I discovered something more powerful than making things disappear: I could read people. The micro-expressions, the tells, the psychology. That led me to mentalism and the stage.
Mentalism changed everything. I moved from making objects vanish to headlining events with a full stage show. Telling strangers their phone PIN codes, predicting what they would say before they said it, divining their star signs. The reactions were different. Deeper. People did not say "how did you do that?" They said "that is genuinely impossible."
Dubai's events industry is worth over USD 1.3 billion. Corporate galas, luxury weddings, royal celebrations, brand activations. Every night of the week. I saw an opportunity to bring a world-class stage mentalism act and a rare dual skillset to a market that demands the very best.
Today I am one of the most in-demand entertainers in the GCC. I have headlined stages for royalty at private family events. I have performed at HSBC Championships Abu Dhabi, at yacht parties across the Middle East, and at gala dinners in London and Dubai. My corporate clients include Coca-Cola, Bentley, Amazon, Microsoft, Salesforce, FTI Consulting, illy, Levi's, FlixBus, Designers Guild, and many more. My private audiences have included Ellie Goulding, Harry Maguire, Tommy Fury, and Jim Gaffigan.
I am represented by Motivate Talent, one of Dubai's top talent agencies, and I perform across 9+ countries with a strong base in the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and the UK.
My flagship is a theatrical stage mentalism show and The Platinum Show. I also perform walk-around when the brief calls for it. You get a true headline act.
I combine stage mentalism and visual magic. Most performers do one or the other. You get two extraordinary experiences from a single booking.
Royalty. 20+ global brands. 9+ countries. The world's most discerning audiences trust me with their most important events.
Dubai's events feature guests from every country. My performances are language-neutral, culturally sensitive, and universally astonishing.
