What does an event magician do?

Event magicians perform close-up magic, sleight of hand and mind reading for small groups, moving between tables or around a drinks reception. The magic happens in guests' hands, which is why people talk about it for the rest of the night.

Many magicians can also perform a stage or after-dinner set for the whole room. Close-up works brilliantly as an icebreaker at corporate events and weddings, and a stage set gives a dinner a clear focal point.

Tips from our team

1
Brief them on your guests
Names, in-jokes or a product can be built into the magic with a little notice.
2
Time it with the catering
Table magic works best between courses, not while plates are going down.
3
Choose close-up or stage
Close-up suits receptions and dinners. A stage set needs a seated audience and good sightlines.

Often, yes. Branded cards or a product reveal can be built into the routine with enough notice.

How far ahead should we book?
