Hey! I'm Close-Up Chris
The Shropshire magician your photographer chases between tables.
Most weeks you'll find me at venues across Shropshire. Corporate dos at The International Centre Telford, wedding breakfasts at Davenport House near Bridgnorth, summer parties in Market Drayton. I know the venues, the loading bays, the event managers - and exactly when to start working the crowd.
Most magicians in Shropshire do one thing well. I combine four disciplines into a single set - sleight of hand, mind reading, pickpocketing and comedy. Whether it's a 50th in Ludlow or a tradeshow at the ICC Telford, I'll read the room, time the crowd, and make sure your event lands.

Close-Up Magician Shropshire
This is what a room full of Shropshire guests looks like when close-up magic actually lands. Not polite applause - proper gasps, drinks-paused-mid-sip, and the kind of "no way" faces that have your guests reaching for their phones.
I've performed at everything from corporate awards at The International Centre Telford to summer weddings at Mill Barns. The venue changes - the reactions don't.

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 corporate parties at The International Centre Telford, private birthdays in Bridgnorth, and everything in between. If you want something your Shropshire guests have genuinely never seen before, this is it.
