Hey! I'm Close-Up Chris
The Nottingham magician who leaves rooms gasping and grinning.
Nottingham is one of my busiest cities. Colwick Hall, Goosedale, Wollaton Hall, Eastwood Hall, the Lace Market - I know the venues, the event coordinators, and exactly how to work a room full of strangers until they're laughing, gasping, and swapping stories about what just happened.
I combine four disciplines into one set - sleight of hand, mind reading, pickpocketing and comedy. Most magicians in Nottingham offer one. I do all four, and I've spent 28 years perfecting the blend. Whether it's a corporate gala at Trent Bridge or a wedding reception at Kelham Hall, I read the room, work the crowd, and make you look like the host who thought of everything.

Close-Up Magic in Nottingham
This is what happens when you hire a magician who doesn't just shuffle a deck and hope for the best. Real gasps, real laughter, and the kind of reactions that end up on every guest's Instagram story before the main course arrives.
I've performed at everything from black-tie dinners at Colwick Hall to house parties in West Bridgford. The venue changes, the reactions don't.

Something Different
The Close-Up Corner
You won't find this anywhere else. The Close-Up Corner is the UK's first and only dedicated magic booth - a 3-metre backdrop, LED lighting, and a magic table where small groups get an intimate magic show right in front of them.
It draws crowds like a magnet and gives your Nottingham event a focal point that lasts all night. I've set it up at Colwick Hall, Goosedale, Langar Hall, and private parties across the Lace Market and West Bridgford. If you want something your guests have genuinely never seen before, this is it.
