Full Biography
Beginning his journey into magic at the age of 9 and with David Blaine capturing his imagination, Sam Holt has been wowing audiences professionally for well over a decade! Performing modern, mind blowing, commercial close-up magic that really connects with and engages the audience.
“It's all about a normal looking guy doing crazy things with normal, everyday objects and situations.”
Utilising effects such as smoke, fire or even commonplace objects such as rings, watches or money. Channelling elements from the best entertainers in the business, the raw edge of Dynamo or David Blaine mixed effortlessly with the sophistication of Derren Brown organically weaving mix and mingle performance with mind blowing sleight of hand.
Adapting his approach for each group he approaches, observing and matching his vibe to gain the best reaction. Polite and social, his tricks and magic are second nature to him so he can focus on entertainment and the engagement of audiences, something that is often overlooked by many entertainers. Sam prioritises a casual but captivating approach, which avoids the forced nature that can sometimes be linked with acts of his type.
Sam Holt prides himself on his event planning and works closely with his clients to ensure his tone and delivery is absolutely perfect.

A lovely unexpected surprise for our wedding guests!
Shirley P booked Sam Holt for their Wedding in West Yorkshire • April 2025
“We needed somebody to mingle and break the ice with our wedding guests between our hotel registry ceremony and the wedding meal. We chose Sam after reading some other great reviews left by previous people and we can honestly say we were over the moon with the feedback we got. Perfect entertainment by a very charismatic entertainer, very pleased how the afternoon went.”
Karen E booked Sam Holt for their Wedding in Newcastle upon Tyne • October 2024
“Sam before the event was in contact with us and discussed about venue and timings… a few days before I asked if he could start just that little bit later and he was more than accommodating with this. He arrived promptly and started his magic I think he managed to get round to doing some magic for everyone. He then did a special one off trick for us personally and gave a lovely memento from it as a wedding gift…… A really special touch. I would thoroughly recommend him and wouldn’t hesitate to book him again. Our guests all have commented on what a lovely guy he was and he made the evening a bit more memorable. So pleased we booked him.”
Extraordinary performance by an amazing person!
Anastasiya Z booked Sam Holt for their Wedding in North Yorkshire • October 2024
“We've always wanted to have a magician at our wedding and after an extensive research, we found the perfect one. Sam really made our wedding day extra special. Many of our guests approached us after his performance and were super impressed by the magic - even the few sceptical friends who always know everything were awed. We are also extremely grateful to Sam for his super friendly and yet professional approach. He contacted us prior the event to discuss all the details and went over and beyond to align his performance with the rest of the schedule for the day. We really can’t thank and recommend him enough! ”
