Close-Up Magician Hire Birmingham

Last Wednesday, myself (Close-Up Chris – your Birmingham magician) and my talented team member, Russ, had the pleasure of performing at a corporate event in Birmingham, held at the stunning Forest of Eden Hotel in Meriden. As the leading UK close-up magician specialising in weddings, corporate events, and parties, I was thrilled to bring my unique magic experience to this fantastic venue.

The client opted for a combination of my Close-Up Corner (the UK’s first magic booth) and Russ as a walkabout/mix-and-mingle magician. This dynamic pairing, alongside other classic corporate entertainment ideas in Birmingham, like a magic mirror, a clairvoyant, and fantastic food, created an unforgettable evening for all attendees.

Why the Forest of Eden Hotel is Perfect for Corporate Events

The Forest of Eden Hotel in Meriden is a hidden gem for corporate events in Birmingham. Its elegant setting, spacious event areas, and professional staff make it an ideal venue for hosting everything from team-building days to gala dinners. The hotel’s layout provided the perfect backdrop for our magic performances, allowing guests to enjoy both the Close-Up Corner and Russ’s walkabout magic seamlessly.

If you’re planning a corporate event in Birmingham, this venue is worth considering. Its combination of style, functionality, and atmosphere ensures your guests will leave impressed.

The Close-Up Corner: A Unique Corporate Entertainment Idea in Birmingham

The Close-Up Corner is my brainchild, designed to elevate corporate events by creating a dedicated space for magic. Unlike traditional table magic, the Close-Up Corner offers a distraction-free zone where guests can fully immerse themselves in the experience. Here’s why it’s a game-changer:

  • Fewer Distractions: Guests can focus entirely on the magic without interruptions.
  • A Focal Point: The booth serves as a beacon of interest, drawing curious guests and creating a buzz.
  • No One Misses Out: Guests who want to experience the magic know exactly where to go.
  • Creates a Crowd: Once the first group gathers, others naturally follow, building excitement and energy.

How Close-Up Magic Transformed the Event

The event kicked off with guests enjoying drinks, delicious food, and other entertainment like a magic mirror and a clairvoyant. Once the Close-Up Corner opened, it quickly became the highlight of the evening. Guests wandered over between activities, and before long, word spread about the jaw-dropping tricks happening inside the booth.

Meanwhile, Russ worked his magic as a mix-and-mingle magician, entertaining guests at their tables and during the drinks reception. Together, we created an electric atmosphere that left everyone talking about the event long after it ended.
