-
If he were that good, he wouldn’t be travelling back from the other side of the country every weekend! Just kidding — Oli absolutely loves his job, and if he could make you win the lottery, he promises he would!
Magic For Nan & The Best Man
Magic that delights every guest – from your nan to your best man (and even the flower girl with a juice box). My style is fun, relaxed and inclusive, with moments designed to amaze all ages and personalities. Expect laughter, gasps, and a whole lot of "how did you do that?!"
-
Absolutely! Everything is family-friendly and suitable for all ages—unless it’s for a stag or hen do, of course. Oli tailors his performance to make sure everyone has a fun and memorable experience.
-
Revilo’s style is modern, fun, relaxed, and professional. He has a strong presence in the room without ever being too in-your-face. Many describe him as a genuinely nice guy — and, honestly, everyone seems to love having him around (though he swears he didn’t write that himself!).
-
For close-up magic, no setup time is needed as Oli arrives ready to perform. Stage shows typically require around 30 minutes of setup before the event. For wedding toastmaster services and when hosting corporate events, there’s no fixed arrival time. Still, Oli always arrives early to ensure everything runs smoothly and to deliver the best possible experience.
Big Tricks, Big Talk & Booking Times…
Close-up magic, table magic, cabaret — not sure what's best? I've got you. This section breaks down the options, how long I'll be at your event, and how to tell if I'm any good (spoiler: the reviews, awards, and client list say yes — but feel free to ask more!).
-
It depends on your event and the kind of experience you want to create!
Weddings are perfect for mix-and-mingle or table magic — they keep the energy flowing and guests chatting, especially during the drinks reception or wedding breakfast.
Private parties often lend themselves to a more intimate performance, such as walk-around magic or a small show.
Corporate events and dinners can get a real boost from closeup magic followed by a stand-up cabaret-style act after the meal — it's a great way to bring everyone together and leave a lasting impression.
If you're unsure, I'm always happy to recommend what will work best based on your event, your guests, and the vibe you're after.
-
Fair question. In this industry, if you're not consistently delivering a top-class experience, you don't last. Oli has performed at thousands of events over the past 10 years — from luxury weddings to global blue-chip corporate events — and he genuinely loves what he does.
That passion shows in every performance. Oli blends modern, relaxed magic with sharp audience intuition — think sleight of hand, mind reading, card tricks, and phone magic — all interactive, all unforgettable.
His style is calm, confident, and never overbearing. He keeps your event flowing, brings people together, and creates an atmosphere that's fun, smooth, and full of those 'wow' moments.
Still not sure? Just take a look at the 5-star reviews and glowing testimonials HERE — it's why brands like Disney, Porsche, and Leicester City FC trust Oli to deliver magic that sticks in the memory.
-
Most magic bookings are for 2–3 hours, which is ideal for creating a real buzz and making sure everyone gets to experience the magic. For weddings and corporate events, I also offer half-day and full-day hosting packages — combining close-up magic with emcee duties to keep your day flowing smoothly from start to finish.
Whether you're after a short burst of high-impact entertainment or full-day support to keep things running smoothly, I'll tailor the timings to suit your event and ensure it feels seamless, relaxed, and unforgettable.
Wife Vanishing, Wow Factor & Wirless Mics
Are you looking for something jaw-dropping, one-of-a-kind, or wondering if I can make your partner disappear (temporarily)? This section covers bespoke magic and how we can create something unforgettable together, plus techy bits like PA systems and microphones.
-
If I had a pound for every time I get asked this question! I don't do permanent vanishing acts (they tend to cause paperwork), but I can make rings vanish, cards appear in impossible places, and memories last a lifetime.
-
Every event is unique, and I love working with couples, brands, and clients to create something truly personal and bespoke. Whether it's a customised trick using your names, a branded moment for your company, or weaving your love story into the magic, I can tailor the performance to suit your vibe, audience, and occasion perfectly. Let's make it unforgettable — and entirely you.
-
Yes, I have a professional PA system — complete with a high-quality speaker and microphones — perfect for speeches, background music, or even a full show setup.
Everything is fully PAT-tested, sounds crystal clear, and is ready for the event. There are no tinny £10 Bluetooth speakers here — just a reliable kit that keeps things running smoothly and sounding great. Whether it's an intimate wedding or a significant corporate event, the sound will be spot on.
Celebs, Crowds & Coaching
Are you curious about the famous faces I've had the pleasure to perform for? Want to know how many guests I can entertain at once? Or fancy learning a few magic tricks yourself? This section covers celebrity gigs, crowd sizes, and magic lessons — everything to satisfy your curiosity.
-
Over the years, I've had the privilege of crossing paths with a wide range of well-known faces — from TV favourites and sporting legends to influencers, presenters, and music stars.
I've performed for Ralf Little, Paul Sinha from The Chase, JJ Chalmers, Matt Jones (Red Bull's mountain biking icon), and even the CEO of Leicester City Football Club. I've also entertained the squad at Northampton Town FC and shared magic with Jayde Pierce, Priyanka Bhati, Geeta Pendse from the BBC, and wedding industry expert Becca Poutney.
I've had the pleasure of meeting icons like Will Mellor, Louis Theroux, Vanilla Ice, Sir Ian McKellen, Lydia Lucy, Phil Mitchell (yes, really!), and Roger Tilling, the unmistakable voice of University Challenge.
While it's always exciting to perform for recognisable names, I treat every guest like a VIP — and my goal is always the same: to create unforgettable moments and reactions, no matter who's watching.
If you're planning something extra special and want your guests to be talking about it for months, you're in safe hands.

Not at all! I've performed for just 3 guests at private parties, up to 500 at weddings, 1,000 at venues like the Victoria Warehouse, and even 5,000 at festivals.
Whether it's an intimate celebration or a large-scale event, I adapt my performance style to suit the crowd — ensuring everyone experiences those jaw-dropping, unforgettable magic moments.
-
Absolutely! In addition to personalised magic lessons, I also coach professional magicians and offer business growth guidance. Whether you're looking to sharpen your magic skills or build a successful entertainment career, I provide tailored coaching to help you thrive in this competitive industry.
From performance techniques to marketing strategies and client management, I'm here to support your journey every step of the way.
Screens, Schedules & Small People…
From screen time to showtime, this magic fits around your plans — whether it's a virtual show, a tight schedule, or a room full of family and friends of all ages. Here’s how it works, when to book, and how I keep everyone engaged without missing a beat (or a canapé).
-
Oli's interactive virtual magic show delivers a front-row experience straight to your sofa or office—whether it's for 5 guests or 5000.
Perfect for private events and corporate team meetings, the show is live, funny, family-friendly, and thoroughly engaging.
Zoom is the preferred platform due to its user-friendly features, but Oli can also perform on Teams, Google Meet, Webex, StarLeaf, BlueJeans, GoToMeeting, Hopin, Goldcast, and more.
You'll receive a Virtual Press Pack with suggested introductions and invite templates to make your event seamless. Additionally, for an extra cost, Oli can send a personalised magic pack in the mail to each attendee. Fees vary depending on the number of guests, date, and bespoke elements. Oli regularly performs for clients worldwide—at all times of the day. Get in touch to check availability and pricing.

Magic works its wonders throughout your entire wedding day, perfectly tying everything together with excitement and fun:
During the drinks reception: While you're having your photos taken, magic helps guests break the ice, mingle, and enjoy unforgettable moments—even if they don't all know each other yet.
During the wedding breakfast, your guests will spend time waiting between speeches and courses. Sitting at a table doesn't have to be awkward. Rather than making small talk with strangers, they can all experience the magic. That's when close-up table magic shines—engaging everyone, creating smiles, and turning waiting into a highlight.
During the room turnaround, when the venue is preparing for the evening, magic keeps guests entertained and connected, ensuring no one feels pushed out of the way, left out or bored.
During the evening celebrations: As the party vibe builds, strolling magic boosts energy, gets people laughing, and keeps the fun going right through the night.
Combined with smooth toastmaster and MC duties, magic is the perfect glue that keeps your day flowing seamlessly and entertaining from start to finish.
-
Yes — while I'm not a traditional children's entertainer (so no rabbits, ribbons, or clowning around!), kids love close-up magic. I bring a mix of visual and interactive tricks that keep younger guests laughing and fully engaged — from rubber band illusions and sponge ball magic to card and coin tricks and even the occasional phone trick.
Kids often come up with wild ideas — asking me to do magic with crayons, toys, or whatever's in their pockets — so I do my best to create whatever magic they're imagining in the moment. It's all about having fun, sparking curiosity, and creating joyful, shared memories — not just for the kids but for everyone watching, too.
Insta Proof, Real Impact & True Value
Social media is the modern stage — check it out to see tangible proof of the magic I bring to your event. Forget the polka-dot waistcoats; this is modern magic with a genuine wow factor that gets people talking long after the show's over.
-
Definitely! In today's world, it's unusual not to check social media before booking. It's a great way to see upcoming events, check credentials, read comments and reviews, and get validation from suppliers and venues who follow and engage with my pages.

Magic, like anything, comes down to what you pay for. You might find a grandad who's learnt a trick or two charging up to £100, a hobbyist or part-time magician around £150, a semi-pro who isn't full time around £200-300, and full-time professionals typically start at £350+. Of course, these are just averages, and there's always some variation.
If you're looking for polka dot waistcoats and a low fee, I'm probably not the right fit — and that's fine! I'm not for everyone. But if you're looking for a professional, experienced, reliable full-time magician with years of experience and a natural presence, then I'm your guy.
If you've received a lower quote and would like an honest opinion or recommendation, please don't hesitate to ask me. I'd much rather point you in the right direction than have you guessing and end up disappointed.

French Living Rooms to Lounge Suits
From French living rooms to lounge suits in London, the magic breaks language barriers and dress codes alike. Whether your guests speak English or not, Revilo Twist's visual, interactive style ensures everyone's included — in homes, halls, and everywhere in between.
-
Absolutely! Oli's magic is highly visual and interactive, designed to amaze and entertain guests regardless of language. He focuses on sleight of hand, visual illusions, and universal gestures that everyone can enjoy.
Magic is a language of its own—surprise, wonder, and laughter don't need words to connect people! So whether your guests speak English or not, Oli's performance will ensure everyone has a fantastic time.
-
A little secret — house parties are some of Oli's favourites to perform at! They're fun and chilled, and everyone gets into the magic. The relaxed vibe makes it easy for Oli to connect with guests and create memorable moments that feel personal and exciting. Whether it's a small get-together or a lively celebration, Oli brings the magic right to your home.
-
Oli usually wears a lounge or wedding suit—black tie or smart casual—so you can rest easy knowing he won't turn up in socks and sandals or a stained polo!
As for food, it's one of Oli's favourite things, but if that means he needs to bring a backup snack just in case, he won't be offended either.
