How it works

Your guests come to the magic - not the other way round.

A close-up magician working the room is brilliant, but it's a bit like a busker - great fun, often on the sidelines. Tricks get interrupted, people wander in halfway through. The Room of Mystery flips it.

1

Give Me a Room

Any spare room will do - it doesn't need to be big. I'll transform it into the Room of Mystery.

2

Send Them In

Small groups of 4-8 take a ringside seat for a private 10-15 minute close-up show. Zero interruptions, maximum wow.

3

Watch the Buzz Build

Each group leaves sworn to secrecy. Before long the whole party wants to know: what's happening in that room?

What happens inside

So what actually goes on in there?

Behind that door it's the full works - close-up magic, mind reading, comedy, and a bit of theatrical pickpocketing. The same four disciplines I've been perfecting since 1998, just delivered as a private show for your small group, inches from their faces.

Cards and coins doing the impossible, thoughts plucked out of thin air, and the odd watch that vanishes without its owner feeling a thing. Here's one of those - watch closely. She didn't.

The coolest host ever

When did your guests last walk into a "Room of Mystery" at a party? Give them something they've genuinely never seen - and take all the credit.

Nobody misses out

Every guest gets their turn inside the room. No hoping the magician drifts your way, no watching from across the room over someone's shoulder.

Zero interruptions

Behind that door, every eye is on the magic. No wandering off, no distractions, no half-watched tricks. Just full attention and maximum wow.

The whole room wants in

Each group leaves sworn to secrecy. The buzz builds until everyone still waiting has just one question - what's happening in there?

No fighting the party

Crank up the music, keep the dancing going, let the party roar. The magic's safe in its own room, so nothing gets spoiled by the noise next door.

Tailored to your crowd

Every group's different, so I tweak the show to suit whoever walks in. All ages, all sorts - perfect for a party that crosses the generations.

Fancy the full works? The Close-Up Corner - backdrop, lighting and magic booth - can be set up in a room of your choice for the ultimate version of this. Or if you'd rather I just mix with your guests, that's my party magician service.
