Hey! I'm Close-Up Chris
The close-up magician Liverpool couples, companies and party planners keep calling back.
I'm a Liverpool magician based on the Wirral, and I've been performing close-up magic across Merseyside for 28 years. In that time I've worked at most of the venues you'd think to book - from the Royal Liver Suite and Hope Street Hotel to corporate hospitality at Anfield, the Hilton Liverpool City Centre, and Titanic Hotel. If you've been to a decent-sized event on Merseyside in the last decade, there's a fair chance I was the magician quietly blowing somebody's mind behind you.
What I do is sleight of hand, mind reading and comedy pickpocketing - performed inches from your guests' faces, no stage, no smoke, no cheesy patter. I'm one of very few magicians in Liverpool who is ranked #1 in the UK on FreeIndex, with over 200 five-star reviews from couples, corporate bookers and hosts across the Wirral, Liverpool, Sefton and Knowsley. Whether you're planning a wedding in Woolton, a company awards night at Anfield, or a 40th birthday somewhere on the Wirral, I'll show up early, work the room, and leave your guests arguing over how any of it was possible.

Close-Up Magic Liverpool
This is what a room full of Liverpool guests looks like when close-up magic hits. No polite applause, no awkward quiet - just proper gasps, belly laughs, and the kind of "no chance" faces that make your event photographer's night.
I've performed at everything from black-tie dinners at the Hard Days Night Hotel to intimate house parties in West Kirby. Different venue every week. Same reaction every time.

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 Liverpool corporate away days, wedding receptions, and milestone birthday parties across the North West. If you want something your Liverpool guests have genuinely never seen before, this is it.
