NOTTINGHAM MAGICIAN OPTIONS
CORPORATE EVENTS
A magician is a great choice for conferences, awards nights, and many other corporate events. It helps people to connect over a shared experience and sparks conversations. Let's turn the talk away from work, and allow people to get to know each other in a new way.
WEDDINGS
Hiring a wedding magician is one of the best decisions you can make for your big day. Having recently organised my own wedding, I know how important it is to make sure the guests don't feel bored during those lull periods when they would otherwise be waiting around, thinking what's next? You don't want that! Instead, I'll welcome guests, and bring your celebration to life.
CLOSE UP MAGIC
Close up magic is not only an amazing, interactive (and really popular) entertainment, it's flexible enough to fit into a variety of events. There's close up magic performed as walkaround entertainment, table magic (more on that below) or for large groups, I can even put together a team of performers on your behalf, made up of the the best Nottingham magicians.
TABLE MAGIC
No, not magic with tables! Table magic is a form of close up magic, often seen at conferences and other corporate events. It's magic performed table side, often between the courses of the meal. It's a great way to spark conversations and bring your event to life.
WHY SHOULD I HIRE A CLOSE UP MAGICIAN?
If you are hosting an event and looking to make sure that guests are entertained throughout, hiring a close up magician is a great idea. Why? Well, a close up magician brings your event to life with a form of lively, interactive entertainment. It creates an atmosphere at your event that just can't be achieved by a band or DJ alone.
How would your guests react if they saw a coin melt away in front of them, or their best friend read their mind? At the events I perform at, the room fills with people saying things like:
"That's not possible!"
"Do that one more time!"
"You HAVE to see this!"
In short, I'll mix with your guests, welcoming them to your event and bringing it to life with impossible magic, unbelievable mind-reading and conversational comedy. And one more thing, live magic is miles better than TV magic!
It's ideal for a private parties, birthdays, weddings, anniversaries and corporate events. There are three main styles. You can read more about close up magic here, but honestly the best thing to do is to get in touch for a quick no obligation chat. I'm always happy to help people organise the right entertainment for their event. Here are few ideas though:
Walkaround Entertainment - this is a great way to welcome guests, and share magic with them as they get a drink from the bar. It's a relaxed performance that sets the tone for the party. It is often seen at weddings, corporate events, and house parties.
Close up table magic - with this performance style, I'll perform at each table during the courses of a meal. This one is great for awards nights, fundraisers, balls and proms, and sometimes at larger birthdays.
Late night bar magic - to be honest, this is usually an add on for my other entertainment packages. It's great for after dinner, perhaps if you have a large event and there might be people who want to take a break from dancing.
Parlour magic - this is a short group performance in the comfort of your home, or in a hired private dinning room or booth at a bar, restaurant or hotel. It's an exclusive show just for you. I love performing this type of magic as I can really get to know you and your guests throughout the evening.

NOTTINGHAMSHIRE COUNTY CRICKET CLUB MAGICIAN
Nottingham magician case study
You know, as a Nottingham magician, I love performing across the city and region, but nothing makes me more proud than supporting our local businesses and institutions.
Imagine how I felt when I was approached by Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club to entertaining guests at Trent Bridge during their T20 games, and later their The Hundred Series.
I've been performing there each year, since 2016, with a mix of walkaround entertainment, close up magic, street magic shows, half time shows and even a little balloon modelling.
I’ve really enjoyed meeting a wide range of regular and visiting fans. And for several events, I have worked alongside other entertainers and I was also asked to organise a team of Nottingham magicians for the busier events.
Large events are never a problem for me, as I am well connected within the magic community and have great links with a small team of trusted professional magicians based in or near Nottingham.
Fun fact: At one of these events at Trent Bridge, my Nottingham magician colleague and I were asked (with about 30 seconds notice) to perform a little bit of magic to be beamed live on Sky Sports! Talk about the pressure!
In case you're interested, I performed a very visual piece of magic changing one bank note into another. He performed a similar style of routine, but with playing cards!
ps. here's some top wedding and party venues near Nottingham, that I have performed at previously.

Hockley Arts Club, Nottingham
Horspool Luxury Retreat, Gibsmere
