Magic Circle exam prep explained
I help magicians get ‘exam fit’ ready to take the Magic Circle exam. I follow a proven 6 step program which includes help around every element of preparation, from material selection to final rehearsals, providing guidance along the way to keep you on track.
What’s included?
💻 Online one-to-one sessions: Coaching is hosted via Zoom, with sessions lasting 60 minutes.
🎥 Session recordings: All sessions are recorded, so you can watch them back and squeeze the most out of every meeting.
🗣️ Feedback videos: You’ll be encouraged to upload progress videos, performance videos, and rehearsal videos between sessions. Each video is responded to with direct feedback giving you precise steps to follow to start making instant improvements.
📒 Virtual note book: Access to a shared notebook where you can log your ideas, write your scripts, and plan your goals. Notes from each session are written up here and comments, ideas, and suggestions are added to keep you moving in the right direction.
👋 Community: Access to a community of likeminded magicians passionate about magic, looking to grow with their magic and themselves. Post your questions, videos, thoughts and experiences and get community feedback, advice, and insights from a motivated group. You’ll also gain priority access to in-person workshops and group socials.
Ray’s story
“My background is in training but in another field. I started learning magic a short time ago.
I reached out to Matthew after I signed up as an Apprentice at The Magic Circle. My experience in magic was very limited. Matthew was very happy to take on the challenge to help to guide me through the process of dealing with the audition for passing The Magic Circle exam.
Matthew taught me more than just to pass the exam. It was a whole course in scripting, performing, stagecraft and new effects. He helped and guided me to put together an act that had all the elements that I needed. It was an awesome experience. I have enjoyed the whole learning process so much I have continued training with Matthew even after I passed my audition First Time.
Thank you Matthew for your patience, skill in coaching, knowledge and personality. It was hard work but thoroughly enjoyed the whole process.”
Best wishes

Who is coaching ‘not’ for?
⛔️ Learning new tricks - Coaching is not for someone who is wanting to learn secrets or new tricks, although this may be a part of the learning process it is not the focus of the sessions. Energy is focused on discovering your authentic performing persona and creating material original to you that you can proudly call your own.
⛔️ People looking for a quick fix - Coaching is not a quick fix, it’s a multi-faceted process that takes time and a number of sessions to start seeing progress toward your goals, which are defined and measured at the outset.
⛔️ People looking for the ‘easy route’ - If you are not prepared to put in the work required and apply the guidance and feedback, coaching is not for you. I will provide you with a plan, knowledge, accountability, and support, you will need to follow the plan and apply the insights taken from each session. I can’t do the work for you.
⛔️ People who cannot take constructive feedback - If you are unable or unwilling to take on feedback coaching is not for you. Collaboration is central to working together, taking feedback and actioning homework assignments is key to moving you and your magic forwards in the right direction.
⛔️ People who aren’t ready - Many of us are filled with ambition but aren’t in the right place to start taking action, there are many reasons for this and that’s perfectly understandable. However, working with a coach requires time, headspace, and a level of commitment that you might not be ready for just yet.
Please consider this before arranging a meeting.
