The Amazing Anthony

Description

Winner Vera Smith Cup for Stage Magic 2018
Britain’s Got Talent Norwich Heat Winner 2018
National Book Entertainment Awards 2020 Regional Winner and National Finalist

I can entertain your guests with Mind Reading and Close-Up Magic. I also offer Tarot card readings for those who are interested.
I am an experienced entertainer, magician and Mind Reader with a warm and engaging style. I have a wealth of experience and love entertaining, with a relaxed and inclusive style that makes everyone feel comfortable, and ensures that your guests enjoy themselves and have a fun time.
I am a member of The Society of American Magicians, which is the world's oldest and most prestigious magic organisation and was founded by the great Harry Houdini (real name Erik Weisz) and pre-dates the Magic Circle by three years. There’s proper history for you.
I am unique in that I link some of my routines to my previous career in the Metropolitan Police and the Criminal Justice System. This includes reading the minds of audience members, influencing the thoughts and decisions of the audience, and being a ‘Human lie detector’.
FOR WEDDINGS
I have a wealth of experience and love entertaining at Weddings. I can meet and greet your guests and be an ‘ice breaker’, perform at tables, and entertain your guests while you have your special photos taken by the photographer.
If you like, I would close with a special routine featuring your best man if you so wish. Prior to that, and before you dine, I would perform something special for just the bride and groom, as you will have been very busy up until till then. I have a special routine, unique to me, for the Bride and Groom plus two more (often the Best Man and Matron of Honour) to perform which ends with a surprise message for your guests.
HAVE YOU CONSIDERED A PARLOUR SHOW?:
As an addition or alternative to walk round magic have you considered a Parlour Show?
A show provides both the opportunity and time for your guests to experience ‘larger magic’, but also allows everyone to be involved at different levels. Ideal for those who want to be hands on, but also ideal for the shyer guests who may not wish to be directly involved but who can see and share the same experience as everyone else. Provides lots of discussion points after I have left.
I design my shows to cater for the audience. As I am interactive I love getting the audience involved. I work with the Client in advance and outline various routines and obtain the names of audience members to use/volunteer for them.
IF TAROT READING APPEALS TO YOU:
I can entertain with Contemporary Intuitive Tarot Readings using Traditional Rider-Waite cards. I also give a character analysis reading which they can keep. We can personalise it for your guests to keep, and leave a wedding related message or whatever you like for them too. I can also provide pendulum divination for that particular personal question (which I don’t need to know).
In addition to weddings and Hen Parties I provide Readings to corporate clients.
I performed at The Leeds Junior Law Division Black Tie Ball. Glowing review of that on my Facebook and website. I am happy to provide you details of the solicitor that engaged my services if you would like an up to the moment reference/review. That function generated a booking from Schofield Sweeney Solicitors.
At a recent booking by All Response Media my original 3 (three) hours booking was extended by the client as my Readings were so popular (and accurate) that there was a 4 1/2 (four and a half) hour queue to have a Reading from me.
You can see on my Facebook page that the Major who booked me for the RAF Chicksands Officers Mess Winter Ball said that the dance floor was empty as my Tarot Readings were so popular!!
This also happened at Paul and Louise’s wedding at Hamble-Le-Rice, where I was asked to stay for a further 2 1/2 hours past my booked 2 hours as my Tarot Readings were so popular. I have included a photo from my comments book from that wedding.
I am a member of Equity, which is your guarantee that I am a quality Entertainer. I am Past Treasurer of the East Anglia Variety Branch of Equity. My membership of Equity provides you with £10,000,000 Public Liability Insurance too, and a copy is attached.
You can see on my social media that in addition to entertaining private clients at parties and weddings recent clients include:
Churchfield Hotel Mayfair, All Response Media, ExCeL London, Google Earth Summit, RAF Chicksands Officers Mess Christmas Ball, Rela8 Group, Royal Norfolk and Suffolk Yacht Club, Schofield Sweeney Solicitors; Technology Leaders Club, Tobacco Dock London, Midland Hotel Manchester, Cambridge Chesterton Indoor Bowls Club, Gateley Legal, Leeds Junior Law Division, Pipeline Guild, Marshalls Aerospace, NetApp, British Telecom, The Imperial War Museum, Norwich Round Table #1, Ipswich Town Hall and Corn Exchange, The Apex Theatre Bury St. Edmunds, The Maddermarket Theatre Norwich, Marsh & McLennan Insurers, SEERPIC (South East and Eastern Region Police Insurance Consortium), Congham Hall Boutique Hotel, Main Stage Performer at Norwich Pride 2019, Carshop Norwich, Halestorm Productions, Halestorm Productions, Harlow Arena, Herrco Cosmetics, The Missing Sock quirky wedding venue, The Queen’s Head Bar and Dining, Pura Vida, Pasta Gusto, Mr Pink and Knuston Hall amongst others.
As part of my service I am happy to meet or have a zoom or FaceTime call with you without obligation, to discuss your ideas and see how my personality will suit your guests.
I would welcome the opportunity to talk to you with no obligation to discuss your ideas, performance and timing options to ensure that it is a Magical and memorable birthday party for everyone.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Anthony

Biography

Utilising the skills that Anthony acquired and honed during his Police Career and his subsequent work in the British Criminal Justice System, Anthony will both enter and influence the minds of the audience. You may have seen Anthony demonstrate some of his skills on Channel 4 Television.
His natural skills which were honed and developed over years in the Police, have given him enhanced mental and intuitive abilities which enable him to read and potentially influence people.
Anthony is of Irish lineage. His late mother was one of six (6) girls and two (2) boys and was a gifted Reader of c ... ards.
For as long as anyone can remember there has always been a Card Reader in each generation of the family.
Anthony is the Card Reader for his generation.
Anthony performs one of the, if not the most dangerous, routines in magic - 'Defying the Bullet' more commonly known as 'The Bullet Catch'. This routine has caused the demise of nine (9) magicians while attempting to perform this death-defying feat and wounded at least three (3) more.
People realised that there was something special about Anthony when he was about eleven and he gave his first magic show. However, it was during his Police Career that these skills became apparent and he earned the sobriquet of 'The Psychic Policeman' from both his colleagues and members of the public. He was encouraged to focus and develop these rare talents when he met Maxine, the lady who was to become his wife. Maxine is also of Irish Lineage and they make a formidable team, although Maxine works with Anthony on refining and honing his skills rather than in a performing role.
Anthony has a relaxed informal manner, which puts all types of audiences at ease and a wide variety of routines. He is neither rude nor blue.
He only accepts one (1) booking a day. This ensures that there is no pressure and the client can relax confident that Anthony is not clock-watching and eager to escape to get to the next job. If your event has a dress code, Anthony will accommodate it.
Anthony always offers to meet his clients some time prior to the performance. At this meeting he will discuss their expectations and he will prepare a unique set list for each and every performance. This is one of the many reasons that Anthony is asked to return for work. Unlike other magicians every performance is different.
His act carries Personal Liability Insurance and a copy is supplied to every client at the time of booking.
Bizarre magic, also known as storytelling magic is a good way to stage an evening's entertainment at home with a difference.
Anthony is a great choice if you want to generate extra business for a restaurant for example. He can provide Tarot Card readings or perform Mind Reading and Magic for your clientele.
He is also a great person to create a 'buzz' at your stand at a Product Launch or Trade Show.
Anthony brings his wealth of experience to provide motivational business talks and shows his audiences how he used some of his special abilities in his police work.
In 2018, Anthony released his own book to the magic community at the request of one of this country's most gifted Card Readers, Mr Paul Voodini. It is the culmination of work conducted by Anthony over a thirty (30) year period working within the Criminal Justice System, and provides an uncannily accurate reading of people within seconds of them making a simple drawing. This has been at the top of the bestseller list for those who conduct Card Readings since it was released by Anthony's good friend and colleague Paul Voodini.
He is a member of the Society of American Magicians which predates the Magic Circle by three (3) years being founded by Harry Houdini on May 10th 1902, and a member of the International Brotherhood of Magicians, which were founded in 1922.
Anthony has previously served on the East Anglia Branch of Equity as a committee member and at the AGM in November 2021 was elected unanimously as Branch Treasurer such is the confidence of the membership in him and reflects both his standing in the world of entertainment as well as the high regard that he is held in by his fellow professional entertainers locally.
The Amazing Anthony is a Norfolk Based Magician who works throughout the UK and Ireland.
