About Danny - The Man Behind Red Hat Magic

“Better than I could ever of imagined”

“You were absolutely brilliant! Thank you so much for make our special day even more fun”

I’ve always been a little bit maverick…

Danny and three close friends.

But so were my parents…

Mum was an expat Brit from South Africa – one of the servants used to brew skokian (illegal beer) and the house was regularly raided by the police.  Dad was a holocaust survivor – his experiences left him with a very bohemian edge….  when my school report said “Danny does just enough to get by”  my father declared me a genius;  mum was horrified.

I managed to horrify my wife too.  When my boy Joe was little I had a plan to teach him to shoot using apples coated in contact explosive as targets.  My wife June was aghast.  Mum gave me the recipe for the explosive (it didn’t happen – I know my place).  I like word play (sometimes in multiple languages simultaneously), and have a slightly whimsical way of looking at the world, finding joy in almost everything.  I bring that to my magic too, an infectious enthusiasm and love of people, making them laughgo wow and share my wonderfulwhimsical world.

I came to magic late

I started performing magic in my forties but I don’t think that’s a disadvantage and happily my customers agree.  I’ve been crowned with both national and international awards, winning Lux Magazine’s “Best in Wedding Entertainment 2020” and “Best Private Events Magician 2018 – Western Europe” in the Global Entertainment Awards.  Real world experience in a variety of roles has given an easy rapport with everyone from every walk of life.  From the gentleman with “Love” and “Hate” tattooed on his knuckles when I was entertaining at Frank Bruno and Ricky Hatton‘s gig to the rather posher guests at the private “petit chateau” of a client in France.  Everyone gets the same service and everyone loves it.

Mix and Mingle Party Magic

Terrible at Sales.
Great at Service.

I always want to know about your party or event.  It’s not possible to offer the best service without a proper chat.  Sometimes this means recommending someone or something else.  I wish I was better at sales but my nature is that I am far more concerned about you having a great time than I am about winning the contract.  The plus side is that when people do hire me we are a good fit.

“On top of being a great magician he is a great person, I would recommend the experience 10000 times! Thank you Danny.”

Going the extra mile

I know several magicians who do no prior set up and who present the same tricks in the same way; I think it’s a terrible shame.  My wife says that for every hour of performance I spend four hours of preparation (she’s wrong it’s longer) but the end results are worth it.

The best I have seen. The magic he performed was top class and had us all gasping.”
