Close-up magician performing at a Worcester event

Hey! I'm Close-Up Chris

The Worcester magician who turns up early, reads the room, and leaves your guests speechless.

Worcester and the wider Worcestershire countryside have been part of my regular circuit for years. Stanbrook Abbey, Diglis House Hotel, The Wood Norton, Curradine Barns, Sixways - I know the venues, the coordinators, and exactly where to set up so every table gets a show.

I combine four disciplines into one set - sleight of hand, mind reading, pickpocketing and comedy. Most magicians in Worcestershire offer one. I do all four, and I've had 28 years to sharpen them. Whether it's a black-tie dinner overlooking the Malvern Hills or a birthday party in Droitwich Spa, I'll read the room, work the crowd, and make you look like the host who thought of everything.

Close-Up Magic in Worcester

This is what happens when a magician turns up who doesn't just do card tricks. Real gasps, real laughter, and the kind of reactions your event photographer lives for. Sleight of hand, mind reading, and comedy that gets the whole room talking.

I've performed at everything from corporate events at Brockencote Hall to house parties in Bromsgrove. The venue changes. The reactions don't.

Why Close-Up Magic?

9 Reasons to Hire a Magician in Worcester
for Your Next Event

01

The Instant Icebreaker

Put a room full of strangers together and watch them reach for their phones. Now add a magician who just made someone's watch vanish - suddenly everyone's laughing, talking, and bonding over shared disbelief.

02

No Stage, No Setup, No Faff

Everything fits in my pockets. A function room at The Vale or a barn in the Worcestershire countryside - close-up magic works anywhere your guests are gathered.

03

Four Acts in One Performer

Close-up magic, mind reading, comedy, and theatrical pickpocketing. Most magicians in Worcester offer one skill. You get all four, woven into a single seamless performance.

04

Venues Trust Me

£5m public liability insurance and trusted by venues across Worcester and Worcestershire. I turn up early, I'm fully self-contained, and your event coordinator won't need to babysit me.

05

Converts the Cynics

Every event has one. Arms folded, raised eyebrow, "go on then." They're usually the loudest laugher by the end. Close-up magic performed inches away doesn't leave much room for doubt.

06

Fills Every Dead Spot

The gap between the ceremony and the wedding breakfast. The wait between courses. The moment everyone reaches for their phone. A close-up magician fills those gaps with something worth remembering.

07

One Magician or Five

Private dinner for 30? I'll handle it solo. Conference at Sixways for 500? My team of magicians will cover every corner of the room.

08

Your Photographer Will Thank You

Posed group shots are fine. Candid shots of genuine shock, belly laughs, and open-mouthed disbelief? That's the content that ends up on your socials for years.

09

The Monday Morning Story

Nobody goes back to the office talking about the canapés. But a magician who predicted their PIN number and stole their boss's tie? That story gets retold at every coffee break for months.

Worcestershire is packed with magicians who'll do a few card tricks and call it a night. Finding one who combines close-up magic, mind reading, pickpocketing and comedy into a single set - and has been doing it professionally since 1998 - narrows the field considerably. You've just found your man.

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 show right in front of them.

It draws crowds like a magnet and gives your Worcestershire event a focal point that lasts all night. I've set it up at venues from Kidderminster to Malvern, private parties in Redditch, and corporate functions in Bewdley. If you want something your guests have genuinely never experienced before, this is it.
