What Our Client Say

We were delighted to have Matt join us at LeaderFest last month. He delivered a truly captivating magic show that brilliantly wove together the themes of Resilience and Divergent Thinking. Not only was it great fun and highly entertaining, but he managed to hold the audience completely engaged, even in the notoriously tough ‘after lunch’ slot!

The feedback from attendees was fantastic, and I couldn’t agree more with one participant’s advice,  if you get the chance, definitely see Matt in action. His performance encouraged everyone to re-imagine what’s possible and left the room energised and inspired

Emma Phipps

Managing Director MD2MD

I’ve had the pleasure of seeing Matt twice now during work training sessions, and both times have been fantastic!

His shows go beyond magic – he focuses on problem solving, learning techniques, and engaging everyone in the room. The sessions are fun, interactive, and tailored perfectly for the audience, no matter the age or background. I even learned how to spin a plate myself!

Highly recommend him for any event or team session -entertaining, educational, and memorable.

Bauer Media Group

Matt joined us at Bauer Academy for 5 corporate events and he was fantastic. He worked brilliantly with our apprentices, leaving them with lots of valuable skills to help prep them for future careers. As well as teaching them new skills, he was also a lot of fun, and we received excellent feedback from our apprentices for Matt too.

We are excited to work with Matt again & would recommend him to all!

Learning Tricks Testimonial Sam Thornton
Matt from Learning Tricks came into our Academy and ran a full day’s programme of workshops across some of our KS3 cohort.  I contacted Matt asking if he could help put together a series of sessions that would help my students deal with adversity and difficulty and find strategies to overcome the perceived ‘impossible’ tasks put in front of them. They struggle with self belief and resilience and this has been impacting their progress in school.
Matt came back promptly with a whole array of ideas aimed at boosting confidence, resilience and divergent thinking.
The day was everything I could have hoped for. He uses his background in teaching, love of magic and general performance skills to captivate everyone ( including staff) in the room for the full sessions. Students get the opportunity to laugh, learn and find that ‘lightbulb’ moment where they understand the ‘why’ of the sessions.
I can’t speak highly enough of the services and delivery from Matt. We’ll be getting in him again for sure

Sam Thornton

Head Of Geography

“Thanks for coming in to share your story with my Entertainment Management students, it was the most engaged I have ever seen them in a guest lecture and you really opened their minds to what it’s like to work in your sector of the entertainment industry, particularly building a reputable business and brand. I could tell the students had a lot to take away from the lecture and the opportunities for them to interact with tricks, etc. were great. We’ll definitely be having you back for future talks and to share more of your expertise.”

Stuart Moss

Senior Lecturer - Leeds Beckett University

“We absolutely loved having Matt join us today. He was really engaging and the students were talking about his speech long after he had left us. Our parents spoke very highly of him too and everyone enjoyed the magic! The focus on resilience as well was spot on. Thanks for supporting us again with our KS3 Graduation – it means a lot to our school”

C Chappell

Assistant Headteacher, Batley Grammar School

“From start to finish Matthew was professional and thoroughly entertaining. We would recommend him to anyone. He arrived early to make sure he was well prepared for the event and communicated brilliantly with the Governors and children. Ideal for our school. As one parent said ‘The guest speaker was excellent and perfectly suited to the audience, with a clear message about following your dream and being able to ‘pivot.’ Says it all really!”

K Caryl

Headmistress, Wakefield Independent School

Matt has now been delivering a revision based session to our Year 12 students for the last 4 years during their Personal Development Days. He has managed to combine the theories and understanding of recollecting information through his expertise in the art of magic. All members of staff and students have come out of his sessions enthused and excited as to how they can move forward with their learning. His sessions are entertaining and informative and his rapport with the students is excellent. I would have no reservations in recommending him to deliver a session to your students in a relaxed and enjoyable

Matt from Learning Tricks is the most engaging presenter we have ever employed to deliver workshops for us at school (and we’ve had a lot!). He has worked with all year groups and has tailored the workshops to our exact requirements whilst adding his own, unique flair. The pupils love the magic and circus skills which Matt uses extremely well to deliver his learning points in a fun way.

It is always a pleasure to welcome Matt to our school – he fits in perfectly, makes himself at home and is most definitely a safe pair of hands to entrust with delivering the key messages we want to get across.
