Hey! I'm Close-Up Chris
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.
