Matt Knox

Overview

In a corporate events market that has seen it all, one act stands out as fresh, exciting and the one thing events planners always ask for; something different. Ladies and Gentlemen, the answer to your event conundrum is Matt Knox.

Matt offers exceptional sleight of hand magic and in fact was resident match day magician at Manchester United for over 10 years.

Matt has entertained at the legendary Magic Circle in London and with his unique pickpocketing skills (Matt is the only person to have pickpocketed a member of The Royal Family and lived to tell the tale) he gets people laughing too!

 

In the last year he has entertained at private events for Steven Gerrard, Wayne Rooney and Sir Alex Ferguson to name drop but a few, and at thousands of other corporate events, weddings and parties throughout his sparkling career.

Matt entertains with close up walkabout / table magic at formal events of during drinks receptions and he can also offer an after dinner comedy magic show.

Hi Del, Matt is a genius. I just wish we had him for longer, the things he was doing were amazing! Magic Matt, is now a regular for us, he comes all the way from Manchester in every and all weathers.He is the best out there of this type of act, and has the whole room in fits of laughter. His pick pocketing skills are excellent, and his stage show is wonderful. He is just superb, and so good to work with. Hire A Band are the go to, for TOP CLASS ACTS, don't look any further than them.

We would have no hesitation in recommending Matt to anyone !

Hi Matt, Thanks for your your hard work on Friday night; I've had nothing but good feedback about you! Everyone I've spoken to had a great time, and the CIWEM committee thought you were brilliant!

Hi Matt, Thank you so much for heading to Berlin for my evening there; the feedback was fantastic!

David Packman, International Events Manager, Pearson VUE / Pearson in Practice

Hi Matt... may I congratulate you on your performance, it was brilliant. You have no idea how hard lawyers are to please but you cracked it on Friday... you managed to relieve the auctioneer of his watch without him having a clue...

Liz Talbot, Chair, Warwickshire Law Society

Hi Matt, I hope you are well. The first thing I wanted to do upon returning to work was email you a MASSIVE thank you for your time on the day. Everyone mentioned what a wonderful performer you were and I would say, without doubt, one of the most entertaining parts of the day. It gave Dawn and I incredible pleasure to look across the room and see the tears of laughter from the tables where you were entertaining. If you ever want any form of reference then please do not hesitate to ask. I would advise anyone having a wedding to get you booked - a very worthwhile investment... Many, many thanks.

Mike & Dawn Wilson - Wedding

Dear Matt, Just to say a very big THANK YOU from Mike and I for your huge contribution to our wedding celebrations on Saturday. You went down a storm! Everyone is talking about you and we have heard so many stories of your different "tricks" - On top of being a fantastic magician (and pickpocket!) you were extremely witty, quick thinking and amusing. Thank you so much! You made our day.Best wishes.

Barbara and Mike

Hi Matt, We just wanted to say thank you very much for entertaining our guests... you were AMAZING... Our choice was either canapés or You. Thankfully we made the right choice and you went down a storm. Thank you very much for adding to the fun of our wedding you were first class.

Craig and I just wanted to say a MASSIVE thank you for your fantastic involvement in our wedding celebrations. Our friends and family were totally blown away by your magic tricks as were we. You made sure that the lull we were afraid of didn’t happen. Craig and I had the most fantastic day and we are so pleased that you were part of it... I will be recommending you to anyone who requires fantastic and funny entertainment at any future events.

FAQs

How far in advance should we book?

As soon as you know your date. Weekends, especially in summer, can book up 12 months or more ahead, so the earlier you secure Matt Knox, the better. We can sometimes help at a few weeks' notice too, so it's always worth asking.

What's your payment and cancellation policy?

A £250 reservation fee secures your date, and the balance is due 30 days before the event. If you cancel more than three months before, you only lose the reservation fee. Charges then rise on a sliding scale, and the full amount is due within one month of the date. Your booking agreement sets out the exact terms.

What if the timings change after we book?

That's fine. Plans often change as the day gets closer. Just let the Hireaband team know, and we'll check the new timings with Matt Knox and update your booking. If you'd like to add more performance time or another act later on, we can arrange that too.

What should we expect if we've never booked an act through Hireaband before?

We'll guide you from your first enquiry to the day itself. You'll get a written booking agreement, a clear quote and a named contact. Hireaband is free to use, and with the Hireaband Price Promise you'll never pay more for an act than by booking anywhere else.

How much contact will we have with the act before the event?

We'll put you in touch with Matt Knox around three months before your date, so you can go through timings, music choices and any special requests together. Until then, the Hireaband team are on hand to answer any questions.

Can we see the act perform before booking?

Most performances are at private events, so it isn't always possible to see an act live. The videos, audio and client reviews on this page are the best way to get a feel for Matt Knox. If you'd like to know more, the Hireaband team are happy to talk it through with you.

How far will you travel?

Many of our acts perform across the UK. Any quote you receive already includes travel, so there are no surprise extras. For longer journeys an overnight stay may be needed, and we'll tell you before you book.

Are you insured?

If your venue asks for public liability insurance or electrical safety (PAT) certificates, let the Hireaband team know. We'll get the paperwork from Matt Knox and send it to your venue.

Will we need to provide anything on the day?

This depends on the act and how long they're with you. Some need a space to get ready, parking, or a meal if they're with you for several hours. We'll confirm Matt Knox's requirements with you before the day, so there are no surprises.

What happens if the performer is ill on the day?

It's very rare, but if it happens we'll find a suitable replacement. Hireaband is one of the UK's largest entertainment agencies, with hundreds of acts on our books, so we can usually cover your event even at short notice.
