Hampshire FA has secured a 1-year partnership with Marcus Bailey, a magician with over 14 years’ experience, who will headline at our prestigious Grassroots Football Awards event in June 2022.

The Hampshire FA Grassroots Football Awards Ceremony sponsored by BSA Regal aims to recognise volunteers within the county, the very lifeblood at the heart of our game, for their commitment, dedication, and efforts to ensure the development, sustainability, and progression of our beautiful game. The ceremony unites all award winners from different roles and walks of life, showcasing a talented workforce who dedicate so much of their own time for others to enjoy.

Each year, we seek to find new entertainment for the guests in attendance, one that is memorable to match the rest of the evening. This is the first time that a magician has been linked to the association for the awards evening and, given the fact that Marcus Bailey ranks 5/5 on Facebook and matches that with his Google reviews, we simply want to give our best back to the best.

“Magic is a performance art that is universally acknowledged throughout the world. It is an accessible art, that is globally renowned for its mystery and ongoing fascination with reality and the seemingly impossible. It is a rare interactive form of entertainment that is so diverse, that it can be used in ANY event/celebration where there are people present. I hope to engage that magic to the award winners on the evening, taking them to that other level, creating perception, lasting memories, emotions and fun to top of their evening with something truly memorable.” - Marcus Bailey, Magician.

“The Hampshire FA Grassroots Football Awards event unites a truly remarkable workforce of volunteers, ones who have dedicated many years’ service to the game; some more than 50 years. We aim to make it the most memorable evening of their entire year, a very small offering in return for the service that they dedicate to us and our game in the county. We have seen Marcus’s magic on video, have read the reviews and personal testimonials provided by those close to our association who have recommended his services. We are therefore fully aware of the show he can put on and look forward to welcoming him on the stage in June 2022." - Neil Cassar, Hampshire FA CEO.
