BIRMINGHAM MAGICIAN CASE STUDIES
There’s way too many to mention, but if you want to find out about some of my past events as a magician in Birmingham, here’s a few that stand out.
Hired 8 Years in a Row (and counting) for Birmingham Christmas Party!
Magicians measure their success in different ways. For some it’s about the number of reviews they can gather, others try to judge the reaction of the audience. Those are good measurements. However, one of the strongest signals that I’m doing well is when I am recommended to others or hired again by the same person or company.
A local business networking group in Birmingham has now hired me to perform close up magic as their Christmas party magician for the past eight years running.
I always look forward to putting their date in my calendar as it feels like catching up with old friends. My magic is always conversational. I get to know people and make them feel included in my entertainment, but with this recurring event I’m able tailor my magic and my conversation even further.
As many of the staff have seen my magic before I provide a mix of brand new material and my tried and tested routines.
I’ve found that guests love to see what I’ve been working on throughout the year. Occasionally, I’ll even use this party as my chance to debut something I’ve never performed before. And that exclusivity makes them feel really special! Here’s what they said last time:

We’ve just booked Ed for the eighth time, which speaks highly of how much we value his magic. Every year he puts in an incredible about of effort to entertain us at our Christmas party. His magic is always impressive and has people talking about him well into the new year.
Table to Table Magic at Military Passing Out Event
As a Birmingham magician, I get to perform at lots of events across the city, but this was one that really stood out to me. I performed alongside another Birmingham magician at a large military black tie ball to celebrate recent achievements including many who had recently passed out.
Hiring multiple magicians is a popular choice for larger events, and I can help organise that on your behalf. I am well connected within the magic industry and can help to put together a team of excellent professional performers.
We began by entertaining guests as they arrived for a welcome drink, and then later entertained with table to table magic during dinner.
This all took place in the legends lounge at Birmingham City Football Stadium, St. Andrew’s. We got great reactions to our entertainment, with lots of laughs, gasps and enjoyment from everyone there. Just take a look at the client review below.

Corporate Mixer on Colmore Row
As a corporate magician in Birmingham, I provide sharp, elegant, and impossible close up magic! My magic is built on conversation, not a script, which means it flows seamlessly between groups of professionals, and that was really useful at this networking event for staff and clients.
Side note: it’s also great at corporate hospitality events.
It was a real privilege to provide close up magic and entertainment at this event as it was for a repeat client, Gallagher Insurance, who has booked me several times..
I performed on the upper floors of 103 Colmore Row, one of the city’s newer tower blocks in the business district. Let me tell you, you get a really great view of the city up there!
Crowd Pulling Magic for an Industry Expo at the NEC
The brief for this expo at the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) was to attract visitors as they walked past the stand, increase the dwell time spent on the stand, and introduce interested parties to the sales team.
A professional close up magician is perfect for this as through my experience at events I’ve learnt exactly how to quickly engage people, break the ice, and make warm introductions.
Not only that but I’m confident enough to stop people in their tracks. So often at trade shows and expos, I see the sales staff standing around waiting for people to approach them!
As this booking was for an tech services company, I developed some bespoke magic routines that introduced the services offered and integrated the client’s key marketing messages in a way that was difficult to forget (think, security, secrets, and no entry to bad actors!)
If you’ve booked a stand at an upcoming NEC exhibition, then get in touch with me today, and lets talk about how we can make sure you get a positive return on your financial and time investment.
Multi Magician Event at Resorts World Birmingham
For events on a large scale (300 guests +), one magician isn’t enough. For this very large event (1000 guests +) at Resorts World, I provided close up magic alongside three colleagues.
Together we entertained all of the guests at this national Awards Event for Burger King. We welcomed them with walkaround magic at the start of the evening, and then with world class table magic during dinner. We were fed too (but it wasn’t burgers!)
It was certainly a busy event with lots of other great entertainment going on, but one of the things I love about being a magician is that some nights are busy with lots of people, and some are quieter more personal events. It’s an incredible lifestyle, and while the performing environment sometimes changes, the magic is always impressive and impossible. We were happy to have contributed to another successful evening.
Birmingham Restaurant and Bar Magic Residency
For this series of events, I joined the team at Ming Moon in the heart of Birmingham City Centre for their Chinese New Year festivities. This was a mix of walkaround magic in the main dining rooms and private performances for parties, within their karaoke and party rooms.
I also have a short video clip from one of those nights which you can see below:
BIRMINGHAM MAGICIAN FAQS
How much does it cost to hire a magician in Birmingham?
A professional magician in Birmingham typically costs between £400 and £800 for close up magic, but can be much higher for stage magic, or special requests. If you’d rather not have a vague answer, you can request a no obligation quote here and I’ll reply as soon as possible.
What types of events does a magician in Birmingham typically cover?
A professional magician can entertain at weddings, corporate functions, private birthday parties, weddings, and large trade exhibitions at the NEC. In my case, my performance style adapts from formal table to table magic during a meal to casual mix-and-mingle magic during arrival drinks. This flexibility guarantees seamless entertainment that gets diverse groups of guests talking.
Do you perform magic at Asian weddings in the West Midlands?
Yes, I regularly perform as a close up magician at large Asian weddings, pre-wedding events, and high-energy family celebrations across the West Midlands. My interactive close up magic perfectly bridges the gap during long drinks receptions or photoshoots, ensuring all generations of your extended family stay thoroughly entertained throughout the day.
Can I hire multiple Birmingham magicians for my event?
Yes. For the largest events (150 + guests) I can co-ordinate additional professional magicians to work alongside me. I’m well connected to the magic scene in Birmingham as I host a local magic event where I book the top close up magicians. Bonus: I’ll do all the organising, and logistics, so that you get maximum entertainment, zero stress.
Are there any Birmingham magicians who are Members of the Magic Circle?
Yes, I am a proud member of The Magic Circle, which is the world’s premier elite society for professional magicians. I also have over 200 five star reviews, 20 years experience, and have attended over 1750 events. Hiring a professional experience magician in Birmingham ensures you get top-tier mystery and entertainment for your West Midlands function.
How do I book a magician for an event in Birmingham?
You can book me as your Birmingham magician by submitting an online enquiry form here with your event date, venue, and approximate guest numbers. I will then send you a tailored quote and information about what I provide, and what’s included.
How far in advance should I book a local magician for a West Midlands event?
You should book a magician at least three to six months in advance to secure your preferred date, but perhaps even up to two years in advance for high demand dates, like weekend evenings. In demand performers, like myself, can often get 5 to 10 enquiries for the same date, so book as soon as you can to avoid the stress of having to settle for someone less than ideal.
What specific areas do you cover as Birmingham magician cover?
I cover the entire city and surrounding West Midlands districts, including Solihull, Sutton Coldfield, Edgbaston, and Harborne. I also regularly travel to neighbouring areas like Wolverhampton, Dudley, and Coventry for events. I’m based locally so I can provide this regional coverage across the West Midlands without any extra, long distance travel fees.
