Hey, I’m Matthew!
I’ve been a full-time 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 become a member of the Inner Magic Circle with Gold Star, have been invited to join the ranks of Fechter’s Finger Flicking Frolic (FFFF), and now I’m a Magic Circle examiner.
I have watched dozens of exam pieces and have influenced the ultimate decision to either pass or fail, over that time I have noticed what makes the difference between a pass and a fail.
I found a pattern.
The same mistakes kept cropping up, making the difference between getting access to ‘the world’s most prestigious magic society’ and being turned away to try again next year.
I am keen to raise the standard and the reputation of magic as a respectable and valuable art form, this is my first small step toward that end.
Over the years watching the exams I saw countless magicians who were clearly experienced and passionate about magic making these same mistakes in their exams ruining their chances of becoming a member. Frustratingly it would often only take 2 or 3 tweaks to lift their score high enough to pass.
I’ve put everything together into a step-by-step program to help magicians avoid the usual mistakes and pass their exams with confidence.
There is a formula to magic, and there is a formula to this exam.
The Challenges Of Taking The Exam
🔴 You find yourself knowing what to do but putting your plan into action is overwhelming and difficult to break down into smaller actionable steps.
🔴 You feel like an imposter, somehow you feel you aren’t ready to take the exam and think that maybe this wasn’t the right thing for you.
🔴 You find yourself distracted by the small details like perfecting sleights and thinking of more ideas, rather than working on the the act as a whole and making actual progress.
🔴 You feel like you want to get things ‘just right’ and need more time to ‘get things perfect’ before going for the exam.
And despite your best efforts to beat these challenges you find every time you sit down to start you feel unsure what to do next, you fear it could be just too big a project to tackle right now and you lack the energy to keep going.
Putting all the pieces together is hard on your own.
But, it is also fun. When you’re working on the magic you’re passionate about and putting together an act you can be proud of, learning more about yourself as you go and creating something unique you can truly call yours, it’s a rewarding feeling.
📈 TMC PASS
If they can do it so can you.
Magicians are passing their exams every week, they manage to put the pieces together either by experience, chance, or luck and are now proud members of the world-famous Magic Circle.
If they can do it so can you.
All you need to do is focus on the right things in the right order and get honest feedback.
Sounds too simple doesn’t it? But that’s all it takes.
In a nutshell
This program will take you from ‘thinking you want to do the magic exam’, to passing the exam.
With this program, I provide a step-by-step framework for you to follow spread out over 6 weeks. You will be guided through each section with LIVE lectures, workshops, and Q&As giving you the chance to get inside my head as a Magic Circle Examiner.
I have purposely designed the program to keep you on track by giving specific homework assignments and direct feedback to monitor your progress and keep you on the right path.
unfair advantage:
This isn’t a cookie-cutter program, it relies on building on top of your current material and unearthing the person behind the tricks to help you create unique and authentic presentations you can take pride in and call your own.
This approach not only highlights your individuality but also gives you a competitive edge setting you apart from other magicians.
Each week covers a specific topic which builds on the last so by the end you will have everything you need to build an act that is not only unique to you but also has the power to pass the exam.
the work
Success requires work and I can’t do it for you but I do set weekly homework assignments, required practice sessions, and frequent rehearsals to help keep you on track. The actual time required will vary from person to person but expect to place a minimum of 4 hours aside each week to complete the homework assignments in addition to attending two separate 2-hour LIVE sessions per week.

🎉 student success
“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, Ray

🚫 Who Is This Program Not For
This program is not suitable for complete beginners. Students of the 6-week accelerator program are expected to have a reasonable level of technical skill and performing experience. A minimum of 6 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 magician 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. There will be 12 LIVE sessions held via Zoom, alongside specific homework being set each week. Homework and required practice and rehearsal will vary from person to person but expect to place 4 hours aside each week. To get the full value from the program you will be expected to attend all 12 sessions and complete all homework over the 6 weeks.
Not for those who aren’t ready to commit. There is a level of commitment expected to complete all assignments to the best of your ability, placing time and energy aside to work on getting your act exam ready is crucial. I want this to be the right fit for both of us, 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 right now please apply again later when you’re ready.

How long will I have to spend until I am able to pass my The Magic Circle exam?
