Joe Merlin Close up, Table hopping magician.

Performing Magic for The Royal Bank of Scotland in Athens with Girls Aloud, Lisa Tarbuck and The Duchess of York Sarah Ferguson also part of the entertainment team. The Hilton Hotel Nicosia,Cyprus every New Year's Eve for 21 years. I am also resident magician on the Wavedancer yacht through the summer season in Paphos, Cyprus entertaining up to 160 passengers 5 days a week.

I love entertaining at wedding and birthday parties and especially in big private mansions but just as comfortable performing for big corporate events in hotels such as the Four Seasons and some of the best 5 star hotels around the world.

I have been performing professionally since 1988. I was always into magic and worked in a restaurant when I was spotted by the owner of the Cypria Maris hotel in Cyprus who booked me to perform once a week in his hotel. This led to me being in demand in other hotels and restaurants and eventually moved to venues and events abroad.

My favourite magicians are David Berglass, Penn and Teller, Shim Lin, Eric Chien. They're are many more that have inspired me.

I usually arrive at least 45 minutes before I have to start performing and my act can be from as little as 30 minutes and up to 3 hours.

I have no problem performing outside but of course depending on the weather conditions.

I can tailor my magic show to suit the client and can dress in theme to match with the event.

Comments and remarks I get range from amazing magic, unexplainable, friendly and generally left wanting to see more.

With strolling magic i can entertain groups from between 4 to 10 people but can also do a 10 minute routine for a much larger audience in a large banquet hall.
