Magician
Warwickshire
Expert magician for hire in Warwickshire.
The UK's #1 ranked close-up magician.
Warwickshire is my back garden. I'm Midlands-based and performing at events across the county every week. From weddings at Warwick Castle to corporate dinners at Mallory Court, drinks receptions at Wroxall Abbey to birthday parties in Leamington Spa - I bring sleight of hand, mind reading, comedy and pickpocketing that turns any event into the one your guests won't shut up about.

Hey! I'm Close-Up Chris
The Warwickshire magician who turns up early, performs late, and leaves your guests speechless.
I've been performing across Warwickshire for 28 years. The county is dotted with venues I know inside out - Warwick Castle, Ashton Lodge Country House in Rugby, Mallory Court in Royal Leamington Spa, Wroxall Abbey Estate between Warwick and Kenilworth, Chesford Grange. I know the event managers, the best rooms for close-up magic, and exactly when to start working the crowd.
I combine four disciplines into one set - sleight of hand, mind reading, pickpocketing and comedy. Most magicians in Warwickshire do one. I do all four, and I've had 28 years to get good at it. Whether it's a wedding in Warwick, a corporate awards dinner in Leamington Spa, or a 50th in Nuneaton, I'll read the room, work the crowd, and make you look like the host who thought of everything.

Close-Up Magician Warwickshire
This is what a room full of Warwickshire guests looks like when close-up magic hits. Not polite applause - proper gasps, belly laughs, and the kind of "no way" faces that make your event photographer's night.
I've performed at everything from black-tie dinners in Leamington Spa to house parties in Kenilworth. 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 Walton Hall Hotel & Spa, private birthdays in Leamington Spa, and everything in between. If you want something your Warwickshire guests have genuinely never seen before, this is it.
