Why hire a close-up magician

So you’ve booked the date,

found the venue, and the planning is in full swing.

Now it’s time to figure out how you’ll create those priceless moments, shared experiences, and lasting memories. After all, you want to be an awesome party host, don’t you? You’re ready to organize the party of the year!

You definitely don’t want the embarrassment of bored faces on your big day.

And that’s where close-up magic steps in…

Don’t worry… I’m not talking about terrible ‘cracker tricks’ that make your guests cringe with embarrassment for the performer.

Instead, I’m talking about the kind of OMG magic that leaves audiences open-jawed, amazed, and totally clueless as to how the magic was performed.

It’s the kind of kick-ass magic that gets people talking, laughing, and mesmerised.

It’s the type of entertainment that can electrify any event – whether that’s your wedding, a birthday party, or other special occasions.

I may be biased, but I believe close-up magic is going to be one of the best investments you make for your next event. Here’s why you should hire a magician:

1. No worries

• If you’ve ever organised an event you’ll know how stressful it can be. After all, there’s so much to organise and arrange. And because it’s your event you want it to go down a storm. You want people to have a great time and leave with plenty of awesome memories. Brilliant entertainment takes a ton of pressure off your shoulders. It means you can relax, kick back, and enjoy the entertainment too – with confidence your guests will love it as much as you. Looking for 40th birthday entertainment ideas? Check this out

2. It’s good value for money

• £ for £, the value that OMG, close-up magic brings to your event is HUGE. Sure you need the essentials such as a venue and catering, but without the right entertainment, it’s a lot harder to create the right vibe. The key is not to do it on the cheap. A poor quality entertainer can be disastrous! [For a useful guide on what to look for when hiring a Close up Magician, click here.]

 3. It’s an icebreaker

• Close-up magic is interactive. Your guests will be invited to participate (and their personal possessions will be used as props too!) People love getting involved and that’s exactly what close-up magic provides. Instead of being distant observers, your guests will be at the heart of the action. It’s one of the reasons that magic brings people together. When you share an experience that inspires a reaction, everyone gets to enjoy that moment together. It’s why close-up magic is perfect if your event is attended by groups of people who don’t know each other. Let me mingle and socialise with your guests and everyone will soon come together. 

4. Memorable

 If you’re organising an event to make a special occasion such as a wedding, birthday, or anniversary, you want to take away great memories as well as having a good time on the night. That’s the power of close-up magic…

• It creates an experience
• Will provide moments of intensity and enthralment
• It offers entertainment that people talk about – long after the event has finished

[It’s an easy way to ensure you go down as the best party host ever!!]

There’s a hidden advantage of all this awesome memory-making too. People can’t help but respond to close-up magic with smiles, laughter, and shock. So just imagine the quality of photos and video you’ll be able to capture from your event. Here are some examples to give you an idea…

Imagine how you’ll feel looking back on your photographic memories and seeing the friends and family you care about filled with so much joy.

5. Tailored to your event

If you hire an experienced close-up magician, they’ll have the repertoire and trick variety to tailor their delivery to your guests. Close-up magic is that versatile – it can be tweaked to appeal to everyone. So if you’re inviting all generations to your wedding, no worries. I can entertain the kids and the oldies (who rarely crack a smile!)

If you’re having a house party, we can wow your guests with The Room of Mystery, and if it’s adults-only, well we can be a bit naughtier!
