Tony Middleton 'Sonic', an Associate of the Inner Magic Circle, and featured on Penn & Teller: Fool Us, has 20 years professional experience entertaining at private events all over the world.

Magic Options
Depending on the type of event you are hosting, you can choose from close-up magic (mix & mingle entertainment, table magic over dinner), a theatre style show, after dinner cabaret, or mixture. Our team will be able to create a perfect solution for you.
Close-Up Magic
Ideal for receptions, lunches, dinners and weddings.
Book Sonic for your event, and be assured of the highest quality entertainment. Close-up magic can be delivered walk-around at a drinks reception, at tables over a dinner, or a combination of both.
CASE STUDY:
Birthday lunch at the Atheneaum Club, Piccadilly.
Sonic delivers close-up magic on arrival before the guests sit down for lunch to break the ice and generate a great atmosphere for guests of all ages.
During lunch, Sonic visits each table performing a 10 minute show between the courses. To conclude, Sonic performs a 20 minute floor show including a special routine for the birthday boy.
Parlour Magic
Ideal for offering something fun and different for a group.
Parlour magic is somewhere between close-up magic at stage magic. It's show delivered theatre style, but for a small group - typically 20 - 60 guests. It's a focused performance that can last anywhere from half and hour to an hour.
CASE STUDY:
Wedding at Miskin Manor, Cardiff
Sonic delivers a full hour long parlour show in a private room of the manor as something different after the meal and speeches.
The room is set up theatre style with lighting and sound, and the wedding party of 50 are lead in to experience the show.
The show provides a talking point for the rest of the evening.
Stage Magic
Is your event a little larger? A stage magic or mind-reading show works well for awards dinners, charity balls or corporate events.
With addition of lighting, sound and video projection, magic can reach a large audience and still have a personal impact.
CASE STUDY:
After Dinner Show at Sheraton Grand Park Lane Ballroom
Sonic delivers a 20 minute magic and mind reading show for a client who wants to generate a great atmosphere before an auction, and ensure that all 400 guests experience it.
Sonic's show uses visual illusions, mental trickery, and draws on various audience members to participate. Some routines involve all the audience at the same time. Everyone feels part of the experience and is left thinking 'how did he do that?!'
Private Dinner Magic
Where only a small group, such as 10, are looking for top class close-up magic to compliment their dining experience. A number of illusions can be paired with the courses of a meal to create a personal and memorable experience.
CASE STUDY:
Private Dining Room Dinnner at Novikov, Mayfair
Sonic delivers several hits of close-up magic between the courses of a private dinner, giving the guests something to talk about. At the end he performs a slight longer set of 20 minutes including mind-reading routines.
Teambuilding magic
Looking for something different for your work group?
Sonic offers a special Magic Workshop where participants learn simple sleight of hand and self working card magic. By the end of the experience they are able to perform effects that will baffle friends and family.
CASE STUDY:
Zoom event for Camden Hells.
Sonic delivers a 1 hour magic workshop online. Participants receive a pack of cards in advance, and with a beer in hand Sonic demonstrates each effect and then explains it for all to understand. Further instructions as a reminder are send after the event.
Sonic and his team are experienced in delivering the highest standard in entertainment. We will take the utmost care to create a bespoke package that meets your needs, and works seamlessly with your event and other entertainments you have planned.
