Magician & Wordsmith
"Elite, raw, authentic, funny, and vulnerable, with a sprinkle of magic!"
Hi, I'm Adam Axford. I'm a career magician & prize-winning poet, and I believe words are magic.
By channelling my devious creativity into magical shows & interactive sessions, I turned my life around.
Now I weave illusion, storytelling, and poetry into masterful performances, helping others to connect with their own magic, and dream beyond limit.
Welcome to my world of wordsmith magic.
"Adam is more than just a magician - he is a creator of change"
