magician at Lilleshall conference centre event

It’s been a whirlwind week of corporate events, and last night brought me to the picturesque Lilleshall Conference Centre in Shropshire. My role? Post-meal entertainment for a corporate gathering. Lorraine, the event organiser, reached out beforehand to explain her vision. She wanted to keep the evening alive after dinner, avoiding the dreaded after-meal slump. Honestly, it’s always refreshing when a client already knows how these moments can either soar or sink without the right spark. That’s where people like me come in and save the day (or evening).

Of course, as life’s cruel irony would have it, these golden moments remain undocumented. No cameras, no videos, nothing. My best work, as always, is the stuff that can’t be caught on record. Typical, isn’t it? And sure, I could have stopped mid-performance to yell, “Quick, someone hit record!” But, spoiler alert, that’s the fastest way to kill the magic and derail the vibe. Instead, I focused on the flow and brought my A-game to every table.

By the end of the evening, I’d performed for each group and couldn’t stop grinning all the way home. It’s honestly such a joy when you connect with an audience like that.

Now the big question is… are you planning a corporate event and don’t want it to fall flat after the meal? Don’t leave it to chance. Get in touch, and I’ll make sure your evening is unforgettable. No frosty receptions, just jaw-dropping moments and plenty of laughter. Lilleshall might have been last night’s stage, but your event could be next!
