As you probably know by now, after browsing this website, I have been performing magic shows since 1999. I have been doing it full time since 2007.

​

Before all this, I was a security dog handler and dog trainer. I worked for a security company where I would guard high profile clients with my dog. I was trained by professional dog trainers how to train dogs. I trained my first dog for protection work. This lead to training domestic dogs.

​

While performing magic at weekends - during the week I studied dog behaviour and dog training techniques, and worked with dogs.

​

In 2007 I realised that my magic shows were becoming more popular and therefore forced myself to make a decision.. Do I continue working seven days a week (dog training Monday to Friday and magic shows at the weekend), or do I quit dog training and make entertainment my full-time career? Well as you know I chose the latter. And I'm glad I did!

​

It took four years from then, to make my entertainment business successful and become financially comfortable. So from March 2007 to early February 2019, I was a successful and highly demanded magician and comedian.

​

I appeared on a few TV shows, I performed on cruise ships, did shows abroad in many countries, performed with and for celebrities, performed at hundreds of holiday parks and theatres. I have done loads of birthday parties, weddings, corporate events and charity events, and have had loads of tours.

​

Early February 2019, I was booked for a 50 day tour and was about to sign a contract for a new ITV show, where I was to be on 9 episodes of the first series.. But then... Covid came along! The tour was cancelled and the TV recording was cancelled. Obviously all upcoming shows cancelled too.

​

Today (Sunday 4th December 2022) as I write this, the bookings are gradually coming back in, but due to todays cost of living crisis and covid still lingering, I'm nowhere near as busy as I used to be before the lockdowns.

 

Pre-covid I did the odd weekday show, two shows at holiday parks, a couple shows on a Friday, three on a Saturday and two on a Sunday, so around ten shows a week. Now.. I'm averaging two shows a week.

​

My entertainment career has been an incredible journey. I've absolutely loved my life as a magician and comedian! But now I have decided (or been forced) to change career again. I will always be an entertainer and will always do magic and comedy, but now entertainment is my sideline job. I'll do the odd show when they come in. I will love that show and give it my all.

​

I am now a full-time dog trainer once again. My website is chdt.uk
