NOTTINGHAM MAGICIAN CASE STUDIES
There are too many to mention, but if you want to find out about some of my past events as a magician in Nottingham, here’s a few that stand out.
Magician at Nottingham Trent Bridge Cricket Stadium
A few years ago, I was approached by Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club to entertain guests at Trent Bridge during their T20 games, and later their The Hundred Series.
I’ve really enjoyed meeting a wide range of regular and visiting fans, over the year. I’ve provided walkaround entertainment, close up magic, street magic, and even some breakout shows around the stadium.
For several events, I have also worked alongside other entertainers and I was also asked to organise a team of Nottingham magicians for the busier match days.
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 some magic to be transmitted live on Sky Sports! No problem though! I’ve been on TV before, and so I performed a very visual piece of magic where one bank note instantly changes into another.
Close up Magic at Hockley Tech Mixer
This was a great event at the very trendy Hockley Arts Club in Nottingham – a three level bar, that is almost like a secret club. It’s not easy to find!
I was there to provide mix-and-mingle close up magic (event type checks out!) at a company networking social event, and what was particularly great was that everyone got involved.
My magic is very interactive. It’s built from conversation, not from a script, which allows people to get involved naturally. My close up magic, and comedy really went down well that night. So much so, that I actually booked three events off the back of it – two weddings, and a Christmas party for the company.
It’s not unusual for people to see me and want to hire me as a magician for their event. It is unusual for that to happen three times over the course of a 90 minute performance!
Here’s some feedback from the event:

Ed is a great magician who ensures he tailors the experiences appropriately to his guests. He is super friendly, very talented, and funny too! We’re still reminiscing on a fab night.
Magic Wedding Entertainment at Colwick Hall, Nottingham
As a close up magician in Nottingham, weddings are a popular booking for me. There are lots of wonderful wedding venues across Nottinghamshire.
During Spring and Summer weekends I can often be found entertaining guests at wedding receptions across Nottingham, and Newark.
This was a lovely celebration at Colwick Hall, which at the time was a new venue to me, but is now one I’ve performed at a few times.
Here’s the feedback the couple left for me after wedding:
