About / Biography

My name is Steve Wilkinson, a Magician but specialise in Mentalism - the ability to read or influence Minds! Five words are usually spoken by the audience after the event - "How did he do that!" My intention whether my affects are for close up Mentalism Magic at individual tables or circulating a group for a birthday or office party or as a speaker for a corporate or wedding event, or for a childens party is to entertain and bring fun to the occasion. My style is very relaxed so that the event is well remembered afterwards.

I have performed at a large range of events over the years ranging from venues such as individual homes, restaurants, hotels, community halls, etc and receive very positive reviews to my affects. I would be delighted to be considered for your next event as Mentalism, the ability to read someones mind, is unique and unfathomable!

I am a member of the International Brotherhood of Magicians British Ring and also the International Magicians Society's.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

I have performed at various venues, some small for intimate, personal events to large wedding receptions entertaining 100 plus guests before the wedding breakfast and also in the evening. It is so enjoyable to add something to the special occasion.


What's your favourite type of event?

As mentioned I love performing at all events whether large or small but perhaps entertaining in small groups at tables or working a room of guests are my favourite as the reaction to an affect is spontaneous and infectious to other guests!


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

My interest in Magic started many years ago. Initially I tried card Magic to small audiences but my performance in doing card tricks was mediocre, then I discovered Mentalism - Mind Reading about 8 years ago. Since then I have developed my skills in this type of Magic and performed at many events.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

With regards to Magicians I think I have been influenced by Dynamo - Steven Frayne, an Illusionist. He battled severe illnesses, being bullied at school and by sheer perseverance continued to do what he loved to do, performing anywhere in the UK, nearly every night, then doing amazing stunts in the UK & USA. He eventually achieved and still is entertaining celebrities. He is one of the all time greats in Magic.


Do you perform for children's parties?

Yes! Children love this type of magic and I adapt some of the effects for children to make the occasion truely special.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

I normally arrive about an hour before the requested time to perform and to see any facility to store my case so can access it when I require a new affect during my performance. A cupboard, room or under a table would be fine. If I am a speaker at an event then a table would be required about 6' long at the front of the audience. Usual performance time is about 2 hours which can be broken up if required. If the time exceeds 2 hours for example (which it usually does!) then as long as it is reasonable for a short time after the agreed time then there would be no further fees payable.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes my Mentalism affects can be done outside, weather permitting of course


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

Please be assured the Mentalism affects I do have nothing to do with hypnosis. My affects are for pure entertainment and wonder.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

As I have mentioned, after my performance, I commonly hear from audiences "How Did He Do That?" This is the biggest compliment I personally love to receive.


Does your performance involve hypnosis?

No! There is no hypnosis of any kind. My intention is to entertain - Defying Logic, and bring excitement and laughter for the occasion.
