Hey! I'm Close-Up Chris
The Leicester magician your guests won't shut up about.
I've been performing close-up magic across Leicester and the surrounding county for over two decades. The National Space Centre, Keythorpe Manor, King Power Stadium, private parties in Stoneygate and Oadby - the rebookings and referrals speak louder than anything I could write here.
Where I differ from the other magicians in Leicester is range. I don't just do card tricks. I combine sleight of hand, mind reading, pickpocketing and comedy into a single set - four disciplines, one performer, 28 years of knowing exactly how to handle every type of crowd. Book me for a wedding at Brooksby Hall or a corporate awards night in the city centre and you'll see why 200+ clients gave me five stars.

Close-Up Magic in Leicester
Forget polite applause and half-hearted smiles. This is what close-up magic actually looks like when it lands properly - genuine shock, uncontrollable laughter, and the kind of faces your guests will deny making when they see the photos.
Whether it's a product launch at the National Space Centre or a 40th in Hinckley, every performance is built around your crowd, your space, and the energy in the room.

The Close-Up Corner
No other magician in Leicester offers this. The Close-Up Corner is the UK's first and only dedicated magic booth - a 3-metre branded backdrop, LED lighting, and a magic table where small groups get their own private show just inches away from the action.
It creates a focal point that draws a crowd all night. Guests queue up, watch each other's reactions, and leave buzzing. I've set it up at corporate events in Leicester city centre, weddings across Leicestershire, and private parties from Oadby to Ashby-de-la-Zouch. If you want your event to have something genuinely nobody has seen before, this is it.
