Hey! I'm Close-Up Chris

Expert magician. Sensational socialiser. The UK's #1 ranked corporate magician.

I've spent 28 years perfecting the art of walking into a room full of people who'd rather be checking their emails — and leaving them genuinely amazed. Using sleight of hand, comedy and a little secret sauce, I turn corporate events into the thing your delegates actually remember.

Ranked as one of the best corporate magicians in the UK — #1 out of 299 on FreeIndex, backed by five-star reviews and trusted by event planners for networking drinks, gala dinners, award ceremonies and everything in between. I'm also the only corporate magician in the country to offer The Close-Up Corner — a unique format that gives your event a dedicated wow-factor focal point.

I cover corporate events across the UK — from Mayfair boardrooms and the City of London in London, to Edgbaston and the ICC in Birmingham, to Spinningfields and Deansgate in Manchester. Wherever your event is, the magic stays the same.

Corporate Event Magician for Every Occasion

What Type of Corporate Event Are You Planning?

Every corporate event has a different energy. I adapt my performance to match — whether that's working a room of 300 at a drinks reception or performing at an intimate boardroom dinner for 12.

🍽️

Gala Dinner
Magician

Table-to-table magic during a corporate gala dinner transforms those lulls between courses into the highlight of the evening. For larger events, I bring in my team of trusted magicians so no table gets missed.

🏆

Award Ceremony
Magician

Before the ceremony, between categories, during the post-awards drinks — close-up magic keeps the energy high throughout the entire evening.

🚀

Product Launch
Magician

I incorporate your product or brand into the magic itself — a reveal that feels genuinely impossible. Corporate entertainment that doubles as marketing.

📊

Trade Show & Exhibition Magician

I draw crowds to your stand, hold their attention, and weave your brand message into the performance. Footfall, dwell time and conversations that actually lead somewhere.

🎤

Conference & After Dinner Magician

Conferences are long days. I perform during the after-dinner drinks and networking sessions — the part of the conference people actually enjoy.

🎄

Christmas Party Magician

The one corporate event where everyone actually wants to have fun. December dates book up fast.

Networking Drinks & Drinks Reception Magician

I mingle through the room during the drinks reception, breaking the ice between strangers before the formal part of the evening begins. No awkward hovering by the canapé table.

🤝

Team Building & Corporate Fun Day Magician

Forget trust falls. Close-up magic gets your team laughing, talking and interacting within seconds — without anyone having to wear a blindfold or build a raft.

💼

9 Reasons to Hire a Corporate Magician

Every one of these. Guaranteed.

01

Break the Ice

Delegates who've never met? Awkward networking? A close-up magician at your corporate event gets people talking within seconds — no name badges required.

02

Wow Your Clients

Legit OMG reactions — the kind your delegates are still talking about in the office on Monday morning.

03

Set the Tone

Perfect during the drinks reception. The energy is set from the first trick and carries through the entire evening.

04

Better Than a Pen

Branded goodie bags get binned. A magician creates a lasting impression your guests actually remember.

05

Dare to Be Different

Every other company books a DJ or a comedian. You'll be the one who booked something your guests have never experienced before — and they'll remember who made it happen.

06

Photo! Photo!

Those jaw-drop reaction shots? They happen naturally. Your event photographer will thank you.

07

Zero Hassle

I handle everything. No technical riders, no special requirements, no chasing me for details. You tell me when and where — I take care of the rest.

08

Works Without Competing

Unlike a band or DJ, close-up magic at corporate events doesn't drown out conversation. Your guests can still network, talk business and hear each other laugh — while experiencing something impossible three feet away.

09

Scales to Any Size

From a boardroom dinner for 12 to a gala for 500 — I bring in my team of trusted magicians so every guest gets the experience.

The Close-Up Corner

The UK's First Magic Booth. At Your Corporate Event.

Most corporate entertainment blends into the background. The Close-Up Corner does the opposite — it creates a crowd, a buzz, and a queue of people wondering what on earth is going on over there. No chasing guests around the room. They come to me. And they don't leave disappointed.
