Dressed to impress

No top hat. No sparkly waistcoat. The best dressed in the room.

Clients often worry that a magician means a top hat and a sparkly waistcoat. Not Jamie.

He is almost always the best dressed in the room. He buys all his custom suits from master tailor Louis Copeland, so he fits in at any executive event and in front of any C-suite audience.

Jamie and Google

Ireland's go-to magician for Google events.

He builds Google branding into his magic for each event.

  • Booked again and again by Google, in Dublin and abroad: flown to London twice, and now to Rome.
  • On stage at the Foundry, Google's Dublin HQ, for the EU Sales Awards 2022: crowd energisers, then close-up magic in the breaks.
  • Invited into the HQ after two years of virtual shows, for staff and the annual executive and C-suite Christmas lunches.
  • Read a London colleague's mind from the stage, live over Google Meet.
“His on-stage performance was mind-blowing, perfectly tailored to the audience and keeping the whole room completely captivated with large-scale mentalism and stage magic.”
