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.

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 Birmingham event a focal point that lasts all night. I've set it up at corporate parties at the NEC, private birthdays across Kings Heath and Stirchley, and everything in between. If you want something your guests have genuinely never seen before, this is it.
