The Cotswolds magician your guests will remember.
200+ five-star reviews.

The Cotswolds is wedding venue gold - 16th century barns, country house hotels, manor houses tucked down lanes you've never heard of. I've worked weddings at Wild Thyme & Honey, house parties in Chipping Norton and corporate events across Cirencester. Sleight of hand, mind reading, comedy and pickpocketing that guarantees your guests have the time of their lives.

Hey! I'm Close-Up Chris

The Cotswolds' Go-To Magician for Weddings, Corporate & Parties

The Cotswolds is a region that takes its events seriously - the UK's wedding venue capital. I've worked wedding entertainment in the Cotswolds from Cirencester through to Chipping Norton, corporate events at country house hotels across the region and milestone parties from Stow to Burford. 28 years in, 200+ five-star reviews. Drop me an enquiry for availability and a pricing PDF.

What I do isn't card tricks at arm's length. It's close-up magic that happens in your guests' hands - sleight of hand, mind reading, the lot, mixed with comedy that makes the whole room turn around. If you're looking for a magician in the Cotswolds who gets booked back the next year, that's me. For a real-world example of what an evening looks like, see my Chipping Norton poker night case study.

Not all magicians in the Cotswolds are created equal. Some do card tricks. I do four disciplines in one set - close-up magic, mind reading, pickpocketing and comedy - all polished over 28 years. The cotswold magician event planners across the region keep on speed dial.

The Close-Up Corner - close-up magic booth for corporate events and weddings in the Cotswolds

Something different

The Close-Up Corner

The UK's first and only magic booth.
Big, bold, and brilliant.

Backdrop, LED lights, magic table - a focal point that draws crowds like a magnet. Groups of 5-20 gather round for distraction-free close-up magic while the rest of the room wonders what all the commotion is about. Works particularly well for Cotswolds wedding entertainment and corporate event entertainment in the Cotswolds - bigger weddings at venues like Wild Thyme & Honey and country house corporate days across the region.
