🎓 Official Magic Circle Examiner

Joining The Magic Circle Can Completely Change Your Life — It Changed Mine

I took my Magic Circle exam in 2012, I passed with distinction, earning AIMC on my entrance exam. By 2019 I was awarded MIMC with Gold Star and now have 5 years experience as a Magic Circle examiner. But that didn’t happen overnight…

I discovered magic at six years old, captivated by the impossible. At 12, I joined the Young Magicians Club, dreaming of one day becoming part of The Magic Circle.

By 16, I was performing in restaurants and nightclubs, learning how to hold attention in unpredictable environments.

After 3 years of street performing I took my magic from the streets to cruise ships, and experianced performing night after night at a well known magic theatre in Spain.

I was gaining experience, but I had no real sense of where I stood in the world of magic.

Then, in 2012, I passed The Magic Circle exam—and everything changed.

Now, I’ve made a full-time living as a magician for over a decade and I’m the only person to have won ‘The Magic Circle Close-up Magician Of The Year’ three years in a row.

Since then I have been invited to join the ranks of Fechter’s Finger Flicking Frolic (FFFF), and have had the opportunity travel around the world sharing my magic to both laypeople and magicians. Visiting places such as Norway, Spain, Italy and Finland—to America, and even Australia!

Through GivingMagic Coaching, I’ve helped magicians refine their performances, structure their acts, and walk into that exam room with confidence. But my work goes beyond just passing the test—I help magicians master their craft, elevate their thinking, and unlock new opportunities in their careers.

I love what I do—helping magicians level up, give their magic a heartbeat, and develop the skills to command attention and leave a lasting impact. I hear from students who’ve transformed themselves and their magic, taking it further than they ever imagined.

And I want to continue making that impact—helping more magicians reach their full potential, step into their best performances, and experience the same breakthroughs that changed my own journey in magic.

THE CHALLENGES OF TAKING THE EXAM

🔴 You know what you should be doing, but putting it into action feels overwhelming. Breaking everything down into small, manageable steps feels like a puzzle with missing pieces.

🔴 You keep getting lost in the details—obsessing over perfecting sleights or chasing new ideas—instead of focusing on building and polishing the act as a whole.

🔴 You struggle with imposter syndrome. Despite your skills, a voice inside keeps whispering that you’re not ready—that maybe you’re not "good enough" to even try.

🔴 You feel like everything has to be just right before you even apply. You're caught in the trap of needing more time, more tweaks, more practice—while the goalpost keeps moving further away.

Sound Familiar?

You’re not the only one.

Most magicians don’t struggle because they lack talent—they struggle because they’re stuck in their own heads.

You tell yourself, “I just need to perfect this sleight…”
Or “Once I’ve got the perfect opener, then I’ll be ready.”
Or “Maybe I should wait until I feel more confident…”

And suddenly weeks turn into months, and the exam that once excited you now feels like a distant goal you keep putting off.

But here’s the truth: you don’t need more tricks.
You need a structure. A plan. A proven process that shows you exactly what to work on—and in what order—so you can finally feel in control of your progress.

That’s exactly what this bootcamp gives you.

You’ll move through the material at your own pace, with clear guidance every step of the way. No guesswork. No overwhelm. Just steady, focused progress toward building an exam-ready act that feels truly yours.

You don’t need more time—you need a clear path. And now, you’ve got one.

Here's what I did on my search for a system:

👀 I re-approached The Magic Circle Exam with fresh eyes, looking for any possible way to be strategic, systematic and methodical.

⏳ I spent over 100 hours 1-1 coaching the testing different teaching approaches, tactics and methods.

📊 I discovered what didn’t work, and did work. I found a pattern to the act building process and saw exam-prep time speed up by over 50%.

📚 I made notes of every exam I examined.

🪄 I learned how to unpick my learnings over a lifetime in magic and make them easy to communicate for others.

🎖️ And since then, I’ve helped people pass their exam—first time.

With newfound answers to this fundamental question, 👉 I began applying these methods to helping people pass The Magic Circle Exam And...

🚀 My students act progress skyrocketed.

📆 They knew what to prioritise first, to start working on.

🎯 Students began directing their own work with higher quality and attention to detail rather than relying on my feedback alone.

🙊 Within 10 coaching sessions my students had an entire act they where already rehearsing in full.

✅ My last 2 students passed their exam with just 11 coaching sessions.

And they did it all alongside their fitting in their day-to-day commitments.

Passing the exam is easy, actually...
with the right method! 🤓 

It's easy to think that passing The Magic Circle exam is really hard - but it’s actually not. It’s actually fairly straightforward and anyone can pass the exam - provided you’re using the right method.

👎 Wrong Method

😓 Overwhelmed with mixed messages and resources, unsure where to even begin.

😥 Wasting time on unproductive practice and rehearsal, dragging out the learning process.

😭 Floundering and not making progress, going in circles unsure what decisions are going to earn more marks and what will lose marks - with no clear strategy and system for rehearsal.

✅ Right Method

😎 In control, equipped with tried and tested frameworks and a clear roadmap to go from zero to exam-ready.

😍 Saving time by using efficient exam strategies that work - to get ahead in less time.

🤓 Making progress with the act that seriously move the needle, backed up by the Bootcamp Learning System and supported with all the mindsets, methods and resources you’ll need.

“I approached Matthew to help me try and pass The Magic Circle exam. Bottom line, due to Matthew’s coaching I passed and that is basically down to Giving Magic.

Matthew coaching was amazing. He was patient and so easy to talk to and just has a knack of getting the best out of you (probably more than you thought you had inside).

I learnt so much about many aspects of magic and performing, if you have any interest in improving yourself as a performer I can happily with hand on heart highly recommend Matthew — 10/10 for me.”

These Aren’t Just Extras — They’re Designed to Unblock What’s Been Holding You Back

Let’s be honest: the hardest part of preparing for your Magic Circle exam isn’t the tricks—it’s the uncertainty.

Am I focusing on the right things?
Is this routine strong enough?
What would an examiner actually think of this?
How do I know when I’m truly ready?

These questions can keep you stuck in an endless loop of rehearsing, tweaking, doubting… and delaying.

That’s exactly why I created these two powerful extras—to give you the kind of feedback, focus, and forward momentum that most magicians wish they had before stepping into the exam room.

EXTRA 1 - 🎁 The Act Health Check gives you personalised, examiner-style notes on your act—so you finally know what’s working, what isn’t, and how to fix it. No more second-guessing. No more polishing the wrong parts. Just clear, direct advice—and a follow-up call to help you act on it.

EXTRA 2 - 💯 Examiner 1-1: Online Act feedback session to offer more detail to the notes and answer any specific questions you might have.— (Call duration 30 minutes).

EXTRA 3 - 🎉 The 6 Weeks of Live Group Coaching gives you the structure, support, and accountability you need to stay on track. You’ll connect with other magicians going through the same process, get your questions answered, and receive expert insight from someone who’s sat on the other side of the table.

Together, these extras are designed to dissolve the overwhelm, cut through the noise, and replace uncertainty with confidence.

They're worth over £700, but if you join cohort one, they’re yours for free—simply by enrolling today.

Is This Bootcamp Suitable For Me?

    • ⛔️ This program is not suitable for complete beginners. Bootcampers are expected to have a reasonable level of technical skill and performing experience. A minimum of 6-10 tricks in their current repertoire, and 1 year of performing experience with friends and family. If you are still in the early stages of your magic journey and currently find performing uncomfortable, find yourself regularly making mistakes in front of people, or find yourself getting lost mid-flow then this program won’t be suitable for you right now.

    • ⛔️ This program is not for people who are looking to learn new tricks. It is expected that applicants have a repertoire of at least 6 pieces from which to build their act. Although new material may be recommended, a foundation of effects must already be in place from which to build upon the fundamental framework.

    • ⛔️ This program is not for people who don’t have time to practice and rehearse. Required practice and rehearsal will vary from person to person depending on their current level of skill and experience. This Bootcamp is designed to get you ready faster than if you were to do it on your own saving you hundreds of hours of wasted time. To get the full value from the program you will need to watch all modules, complete all homework and apply what you have learned to your act.

    • ⛔️ Not for those who aren’t ready to commit. There is a level of commitment expected to complete this bootcamp to the best of your ability. You will need to place time and energy aside to work on getting your act exam-ready. I want this to be the right fit for you, I have put so much work into the program I want it to be the right time for you to succeed. If you think this may take up too much of your time I recommend you apply again later when, you’re ready.

    • ⛔️ This program is not suitable for those who aren’t interested in listening to feedback. If you find it difficult hearing direct and honest feedback you will struggle to apply the changes necessary to excel through the bootcamp and get exam ready. Applying the information and feedback from this bootcamp is the key to it’s success, and yours.

    • ⛔️ This program is not suitable for those who have zero technical ability. Technical ability accounts for 50% of marks in the exam. This program does not directly teach moves or sleights. If there is no existing foundation of technical ability you won’t be able to apply some of the most important lessons in this bootcamp. If that’s you, your next priority would be to learn magic that uses technical ability before taking the bootcamp.

  • ✅ Magicians with at least 1 year of performance experience
    Whether it’s been for friends, family, or small gigs—you’ve been out there performing and are ready to take things to the next level.

    ✅ You already have a working repertoire of at least 6 tricks
    You’re not starting from scratch. You’ve got material you’re confident with and ready to refine.

    ✅ You want to polish and structure your act for maximum impact
    You’re looking to move beyond “a collection of tricks” and build a cohesive, exam-ready routine that showcases your unique style and strengths.

    ✅ You’re preparing for your Magic Circle exam (or a similar milestone)
    You want to stand out for all the right reasons, impress the panel, and walk in with clarity, confidence, and structure.

    ✅ You’re ready to rehearse, refine, and do the work
    You’re not afraid of putting in a few hours each week to review feedback, tweak your scripting, and rehearse with purpose.

    ✅ You’re hungry for honest, expert feedback
    You want more than vague compliments. You’re ready for constructive critique that will push your act to a higher standard.

    ✅ You want to grow your confidence as a performer
    You’re not just chasing technical perfection—you want to feel relaxed, in control, and proud of your performance every time you step up to perform.

    ✅ You have a foundation of technical ability you are comfortable performing. You are keen to build upon and improve moves and sleights, and learn how to make those moments look more relaxed, smooth and seamless.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • I can’t guarantee you will pass your The Magic Circle exam, but if you follow the framework, attend all the sessions, complete all the homework assignments, and take your mock exam, you will have everything you need to achieve a pass. If anything is going to help get you a pass this is it, there is nothing else like it.

  • This will vary from person to person depending on their current level of proficiency in the areas within the framework. However, the more time you spend applying the knowledge from the program the sooner you will be in a position to pass.

  • 💡 Yes. In this beta testing phase, Matthew has included 2 exclusive 1-1 sessions for each student over Zoom. The first session will be scheduled mid-way through the program to check in and make sure everything is moving in the right direction. The second session will be a final wrap session to offer final feedback and tweaks and put any burning concerns at ease.

  • No. Anyone can apply to become a member of The Magic Circle.

  • The program is being hosted entirely online enabling anyone to join no matter where you are in the world. LIVE sessions will be hosted via Zoom, along and an online community space for students to post progress, ask questions, and receive feedback.

  • Readiness to take the exam depends on your current skill set and the amount of time you are willing to dedicate to applying the lessons taught. I can not guarantee you will be ready to take the exam within 6 weeks. The program runs for 6 weeks and shares ‘how’ to pass the exam.

  • If you attend all the sessions, complete all the homework assignments, follow the framework, and apply the 1-1 feedback and still do not feel like you are in a better position to pass your The Magic Circle exam, you can have your money back.

  • All sessions will be recorded and made available to participants. That said, attending live is highly encouraged so you can receive direct feedback and ask questions in real time.

  • This beta round is intentionally capped at a small number of students to ensure everyone gets personalised attention, group feedback, and high-quality support throughout.

  • The principles and framework apply to both. Whether you’re preparing a close-up act, a parlour routine, or a small stage performance, the core focus is on building a structured, compelling, exam-ready act that reflects your strengths.

  • Absolutely. Every student will receive individualised feedback throughout the program—during live sessions, via the online community, and in your act health check 1-1 with Matthew.

  • If you can use Zoom and post a video online, you’ll be fine. The tech side is simple and guidance will be given where needed.

  • You’ll have access to all the session recordings and course materials for at least 12 months after the program ends— plenty of time to review, revisit, and refine.

  • Homework will vary depending on your act, but expect a mix of rehearsal tasks, scripting work, and reflection exercises designed to sharpen your thinking and performance.
