CLOSE UP MAGICIAN

Have you ever seen someone so excited they crumble to pieces? I have! Close up magic has that sort of effect on people. You see, it's one thing to watch magic on TV, it's another thing entirely to be part of it!

"Funny, captivating, affable and absolutely fantastic at mesmerising people with his skills. I was absolutely delighted with everything Ed did for our guests."

Hiring a close up magician is without doubt one of the best decisions you can make for your event.

You probably don't want a boring party where everyone politely skirts around a few standard topics of small talk. Instead, let's kick it up a gear. Just imagine people spontaneously bursting into laughter, calling their friends over because "you just HAVE to see this!" and leaving with a collection of stories they'll be telling for years to come.

My slick sleight of hand magic with cards, coins and other objects, has to be seen to be believed. Not only that, but my performances bring people together. It breaks the ice, sparks conversations and helps your guests to feel like they are a part of something incredible. My performances are lively, upbeat, conversational, and above all fun.

You don't want to miss it!

I just hired Ed Sumner as a close up table magician for the second time, which speaks highly of how much we appreciated his entertainment. He was amusing, entertaining and his magic was of the highest order! Given his experience and professional skills I would definitely employ him again.

Typical comments were; 'It was amazing to see magic performed so close up and so well!'

I hired Ed for my hen do, and everyone was so impressed that the decision to hire him for my wedding was an easy one. Ed is so funny and his close up magic is so amazing. I was told by several guests that Ed had been their favourite part of the evening. Thank you for being part of our special day and making everyone smile and laugh.
