The Close-Up Collective

Hire magicians who don't just perform - they take over the room.

Some events need more than one magician. Large corporate events, exhibitions, conferences, multi-room parties - when there are too many guests for one performer to reach, you need a team of professional magicians who all deliver at the same level.

That's The Close-Up Collective. The finest team of event magicians in the UK - close-up specialists, mind readers, pickpockets, and con game entertainers - personally vetted and led by Close-Up Chris. Every one of them is a full-time professional. Every one of them delivers the same five-star standard I do. No wildcards, no weak links, no cowboys.

Cards, coins, borrowed objects - right under your guests' noses. Intimate, interactive, and impossible to ignore.

Pickpocket entertainers for hire
Pickpocketing

Watches, wallets, ties - gone before they know it. Comedy pickpocket entertainment at its finest.

Con game entertainers for corporate events
Con Game Entertainment

Bar bets, card swindles, and hilarious hustles. An immersive, award-winning act that lets your guests enter the world of the con artist - without losing a dime.

Mind readers for hire - mentalism reactions
Mind Reading

PINs, passwords, names, dates - plucked straight from your guests' heads. The kind of magic that keeps people talking for weeks.

Magicians for large events

How Many Magicians Do You Need?

One magician comfortably covers 80-100 guests over a dinner service. Beyond that, the magic thins out. Here's the maths.

1
Up to 100 Guests

One magician. Every group covered. No gaps.

2
100-200 Guests

Two magicians working the room means twice the OMG moments.

3+
200+ Guests

Three or more. Conferences, exhibitions, multi-room events - every corner covered.

Perfect for Corporate Magicians Bookings

The Close-Up Collective is built for the events where one magician isn't enough. Corporate magicians for hire across conferences, exhibitions, product launches, award nights, and large-scale Christmas parties. Comedy magicians, mind readers, and pickpockets working the room simultaneously - every guest entertained, every table covered, every corner buzzing.

I coordinate the team, brief them on your event, and make sure every performer delivers the same standard. You deal with me. I deal with them. No stress, no logistics headaches - just magicians for corporate events delivered at the highest level.
