Hey! I'm Close-Up Chris
Since 1998, I've been walking into rooms full of people who'd rather be checking their emails, and leaving them amazed and in stitches. Using sleight of hand, comedy and a little secret sauce, I turn corporate events into the thing your delegates actually remember.
I'm ranked #1 of UK magicians on FreeIndex, and one of the best corporate magicians in the country for networking drinks, gala dinners, award ceremonies and everything in between. I also invented The Close-Up Corner, the UK's first and only magic booth: a dedicated wow-factor focal point for your event.
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 Magician Packages
Whether you're hosting a Christmas party, gala dinner, corporate party or networking event, these are the three formats my clients choose most. Not sure which suits? Just ask.
Drinks Reception Magic
Mix & mingle magic while your guests arrive: the fastest way to get a room talking.
Drinks Reception + Dinner
Drinks reception magic, then table-to-table magic during your meal: from the first drink to the last course.
The Premium Experience
The UK's first and only magic booth: guests come to the magic, on their own terms.
