Specialist in creating buzz and drawing crowds
Let's be real: I could tell you I'm brilliant - but of course I would, wouldn't I?
Instead, here's a list of the global brands I've worked with. They've said some very nice things about me - and not because I threatened to make them disappear if they didn't!
Mercedes-Benz: "Russ didn’t just draw a crowd — he created a buzz that had people talking long after the event ended."
HSBC: “The room went from polite networking to full-on WOW mode. Cards flying, coins vanishing, jaws on the floor!”
BBC: “Guests are STILL asking how he did it. Honestly, it’s the most talked-about thing at our events.”
Barclays Bank: "Russ made our VIP lounge the place to be. Even the grumpiest execs were laughing like kids.”
So... ready to make your stand the star of the show?
No rabbits. No corporate fluff. Just pure magic, wit, and a touch of cheek.
I’m Russ, the brains (and hands) behind Trade Show Magic.
For over 20 years I've performed worldwide - helping brands turn dull stands into buzzing hotspots.
I mix slick, sleight-of-hand, sharp humour, and walk-around magic to make VIP lounges, stands, and events come alive.
Guests gasp, grin, and LOL — while you look like the absolute legend who hired me.
Let’s be honest — Google will hand you over 2,000 “exhibition magicians” in under a second.
But here’s why I’m not just another bloke pulling cards out of his sleeves.
For 20+ years, I’ve represented everyone from scrappy startups to global giants like Mercedes, HSBC, Barclays, and the BBC. In that time, I’ve seen plenty of wannabes pop up — armed with £20 magic sets and “I’ll do anything, just book me” websites.
Go ahead, check them out. Somewhere between “children’s parties” and “dove feeding” packages, you might find a lonely page on exhibition magic.
If you’re after a specialist who will:
Give guests jaw-dropping
Make your brand stick harder than a dodgy hotel Wi-Fi password.
I’m not cheap — and that’s the point. The best isn’t cheap, and the cheapest isn’t the best. Some clients even pay me a non-compete fee so I don’t perform for their competitors. (Don’t worry — I always check for conflicts before we move forward.)
If you’re ready to take your stand from invisible to unmissable, hit the button.
