Experience
Instead of creating another walking tour, Oxford Magic Tours was built to completely reimagine how people experience Oxford.
History shouldn’t feel like a lecture. It should make you laugh. It should surprise you. It should stay with you long after you’ve gone home
By combining fascinating storytelling with professional live magic and some of Oxford’s most famous landmarks, we created something completely different.
Today, thousands of visitors from around the world have experienced Oxford Magic Tours and many describe it as the highlight of their visit.
Professional Magician
Oxford University Full Blue Recipient
Team GB Judo Athlete
Before creating Oxford Magic Tours, Shane built an international career performing close-up magic for royalty, celebrities, global companies and private events.
Away from magic, Shane has represented Team GB in Judo, becoming an 18-time National Champion, winning Commonwealth Silver, and receiving an Oxford University Full Blue — the University’s highest sporting honour, achieved by only around 0.5% of students.
A serious neck injury recently forced Shane to put his competitive career on hold, with uncertainty over whether he would compete again. But in July 2026, he returned to the mat and began rebuilding his fitness.
His goal is now firmly set: to represent Team GB at the 2027 European and World Judo Championships.
Today, Shane brings his experiences from world-class entertainment, elite sport and Oxford together to create a walking tour unlike anything else in the city
Receiving praise from a member of the British Royal Family is an honour and something i will never forget, it reflects the professionalism, passion and attention to detail that continues to shape every Oxford Magic Tour today.
Every city has history. Very few make you feel part of it.
Oxford Magic Tours was built on one simple belief: history becomes unforgettable when people experience it rather than simply hear about it.
By combining fascinating stories, audience interaction and live magic, we turn a traditional walking tour into something guests remember for years.
