How much does a magician in Birmingham cost?

A professional close-up magician in Birmingham will typically start around the £500 mark. Prices vary depending on your event type, guest numbers, time of year, and the package you go for. My advice? Avoid the bargain-basement acts - a cheap magician is never good, and a good magician is never cheap. I send a full pricing PDF the moment you enquire.

What areas around Birmingham do you cover?

All of them. I'm based in the Midlands so Birmingham is right on my doorstep. I cover the city centre, Edgbaston, Moseley, Harborne, Digbeth, Jewellery Quarter, and all outer areas including Sutton Coldfield, Solihull, and the wider West Midlands. Distance is never an issue - I perform across the entire UK.

Do you perform at trade shows and exhibitions at the NEC?

Absolutely. I've performed at trade shows and exhibitions at the NEC more times than I can count. My Close-Up Corner format is perfect for drawing footfall to your stand - it creates a crowd, holds attention, and gives your sales team a warm audience to work with. I can also weave your product or brand messaging into the performance.

Do you have a team of magicians for large Birmingham events?

I do. I lead a handpicked team of close-up magicians called The Close-Up Collective. For large corporate events, conferences, and exhibitions in Birmingham - especially at venues like the ICC and NEC - one magician isn't always enough. My team are all full-time professionals who I've personally vetted. No chancers, no hobbyists.

How do I book a magician for my Birmingham event?

Simple. Fill in my online enquiry form with your date, venue, and guest numbers. I'll send you a pricing PDF within hours. A small deposit secures your date, and the balance is due two months before the event. I book up fast - especially Saturdays and the Christmas season - so the sooner you get in touch, the better.

Close-up magician performing at a Birmingham event

Hey! I'm Close-Up Chris

The Birmingham magician who leaves entire rooms speechless.

Birmingham is my back garden. I'm based just up the road in the Midlands and I've been performing at events across this city since before the Bullring had a Selfridges. The ICC, the NEC, the Grand Hotel, Edgbaston Park Hotel, Forest of Eden in Meriden - I know the loading bays, the event managers, and exactly where to set up for maximum impact.

I combine four disciplines into one set - sleight of hand, mind reading, pickpocketing and comedy. Most magicians in Birmingham do one. I do all four, and I've had 28 years to get good at it. Whether it's a corporate awards night at the ICC, a wedding at Edgbaston Park Hotel, or a 50th in Moseley, I'll read the room, work the crowd, and make you look like the host who thought of everything.

Close-Up Magic Birmingham

This is what a room full of Birmingham guests looks like when close-up magic hits. Not polite applause - proper gasps, belly laughs, and the kind of "no way" faces that make your event photographer's night.

I've performed at everything from black-tie dinners at the ICC to house parties in Moseley. The venue changes, the reactions don't.

Not all magicians in Birmingham are created equal. Some do card tricks. I do four disciplines in one set, arrive before you do, and leave your guests wondering if they imagined the whole thing. The magician Birmingham event planners put on speed dial.

Something Different

The Close-Up Corner

You won't find this anywhere else. The Close-Up Corner is the UK's first and only dedicated magic booth - a 3-metre backdrop, LED lighting, and a magic table where small groups get an intimate close-up show just for them.

It draws crowds like a magnet and gives your event a focal point that lasts all night. I've set it up at corporate parties at the NEC, private birthdays in Sutton Coldfield, and everything in between. If you want something your Birmingham guests have genuinely never seen before, this is it.
