ABOUT PHILIP

Philip Partridge, your Manchester magician lives in Heald Green, South Manchester.

I Want to Make Your Event Fun & Amazing

Magic has been a part of his life since the age of 8, when he was given a magic set for Christmas. It was while at Manchester University that his interest began to become more than a hobby. In 1992, he was a co-founder of the Merseyside Junior Magic Club. The MJMC became the most successful club of its type in Great Britain. Philip started his magic business in December 1997 with a £1,500 loan from the Prince’s Trust (he is now a volunteer PT Mentor to Arts-related businesses). By this time, his enthusiasm for magic had overtaken his pharmaceutical interests. Highlights in his early career included:

  • Starring in a Night Of Magic with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra at the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall
  • Performing at a Trade show at Manchester Central for ConvaTec UK, a Pharmaceutical Company
  • Giving a Lecture on Motivational Magic at a UK Magic convention
  • Delivering a team-building presentation for Shell UK


Philip moved to East Didsbury, Manchester in 2000. Highlights of his performing career in Manchester to date include:

  • Providing the entertainment at Brooklyn Beckham’s birthday party
  • Entertaining HRH The Prince of Wales
  • Performing at trade shows for PC World Business & Netgear
  • Appearing on the Entertainers’ Special of BBC’s The Weakest Link
  • Appearing on Ian Wright’s prime-time ITV show I’d Do Anything, performing magic with Lance Burton from Las Vegas
  • Performing at the Burj al Arab hotel in Dubai, the world’s only seven-star hotel
  • Being elected President of Manchester Circle of Magicians
  • Performing for Yaya Toures of Manchester City FC
