Not Your Average Guest Speaker... This is a Cabaret in Disguise!
Welcome to a world where guest speaking gets a serious upgrade. If you are looking for a standard, polite little lecture... You might be in the wrong place!
I’m Eugene Matthias, and I’ve spent a lifetime in the spotlight as a professional comedy magician, stage performer, and toastmaster. When I visit your group, I don’t just give a talk--I bring a full-blown cabaret show disguised as a presentation.
Expect a fast-paced, joy-filled experience packed with mind-blowing magic, hilarious backstage secrets, and plenty of audience participation.
Whether you’re booking for the WI, Rotary, Round Table, U3A, Probus, or Over 50s groups, my goal is simple: to leave your members laughing, amazed, and talking about it for weeks.
Choose Your Experience.
Both shows run for at least 45 minutes and are absolutely bursting with fun, laughter, and interactive magic (see below 'What They Say').
🎩 Show 1: 'The Ugly Duckling & the Magic Wand'“A lifetime of secrets, status symbols, and social gaffes—wrapped up in a magic trick.”
Discover the enchanting, true story of a young dreamer whose life was turned upside down by a touch of magic. From a childhood obsession to my first clumsy steps as a professional magician, this talk is a rollercoaster of humorous anecdotes, incredible illusions, and plenty of opportunities for your members to get in on the act.
🎭 Show 2: 'A Life on Stage'“The sequel where the stage gets bigger, the minds get read, and the chaos ensues.”
This exciting follow-up dives headfirst into the glamorous (and occasionally ridiculous) world of professional showbiz. I’ll take you behind the scenes of touring my hit show Magic LIVE, producing the mind-boggling 'Power of the Mind' motivational show alongside world-class champions, and my adventures as a high-society toastmaster.
Expect laughter, jaw-dropping mentalism, and unforgettable moments.

Subject: Wootton 55 Club To: Themagicclub Info <[email protected]> Hello again Eugene & Sheila I write to thank you once again for coming to our club in Wootton today, I'm sure that you gathered by the reaction of the members, that the afternoon was a resounding success. They all said that you really made them laugh so much and were so pleased that they had attended our meeting this month. In truth they have asked me to book you up again, so I have said I will try for them!! I know it is a long way off but it has been suggested that if you are available they would love you to come to one of the Christmas Social Meetings. We have already booked our entertainment for Christmas this year, so the date we are looking for would be Wednesday, 12th December '2018'. Anyway, I hope you have had a chance to put your feet up after your amazing talk & show today and have an enjoyable evening. Bye for now Dora Loft on behalf of Wootton 55 Club 
Dear Eugene.
I wanted to take this opportunity to say a heartfelt thank you on behalf of Heart of England Mencap for the magnificent after dinner talk you gave at our fundraising Ball. Your support throughout the whole event was fantastic and the feedback I had was you were fantastic!! I have received so many comments about how amazing and funny you were. We've held other auctions and events before – this was by far the best. I would not hesitate to recommend you to any organisation in the future and I’d be happy to share any comments with future clients. Many thanks Helena Helena Wallis Chief Executive Mencap UK |

From: Louise Rollins Subject: Rotary Club of High Wycombe, To: Eugene Matthias <[email protected]> Dear Eugene, What a tremendous talk and show you put on for us - the laughter didn’t stop throughout your performance. We have had such positive feedback about how entertaining and clever your show was. The yellow Bandana trick is so very funny thanks to your very expressive body language. It is such a skill to keep people laughing constantly for 45 minutes!! I will certainly be recommending all our groups book your talk!

Dear Eugene, Having returned from holiday, my email inbox is full with thanks for the show you put on for our club's celebration evening. I would personally like to thank you because you turned a special day into an amazing day of fun and laughter with your amazing show. I have never laughed so much, my sides still hurt the next day! Personally, I still can't get the image of the folded banana out of my mind. Brilliant! I look forward to future opportunities of seeing you perform and in the meantime thank you so much for all your support. Kind Regards, Julie |
