What does Nick do?

Close-up Magician | Table Magician | Mind Reader | Pickpocket

Nick’s mind-blowing magic routine is guaranteed to amaze you and your guests, clients or colleagues and will be remembered for many years to come.

His unique brand of magic is presented in a light-hearted, fun manner, sprinkled with hilarious well-timed one-liners to bring your event to life.

Interactive magic and audience participation are always a huge hit with guests and create an unforgettable experience. Cards, phones, borrowed rings, elastic bands and other small objects are used in sleight of hand and mind reading effects to amaze and astound everyone present.

As part of his unique routine, signed cards appear in impossible locations, coins completely vanish and cutlery seemingly melts before your eyes. A signed £20 note may even appear in the middle of a lemon!

His routine and performance skills make Nick one of the most sought after magicians in the UK for weddings, private parties and corporate events.

What type of events does professional magician Nick perform at?

When does professional magician, Nick, perform his amazing magic?

Although every event is unique, there are a few popular options for booking a close-up magician to entertain. Here are Nick’s favourites, whether for Weddings, Private or Corporate events:

Mix and mingle during arrival drinks (and photos at weddings) – kicking off the party in style!

Having mix and mingle magic at the drinks reception right at the start of the event breaks the ice as guests arrive and really gets the party off to a great start.

Table magic, between courses of a meal

Hiring Nick to perform magic at tables is a superb way to keep guests entertained between courses of a meal. A captive audience! Nick never interrupts the meal or the waiting staff, as there is always a table waiting to be served, or one that’s finished eating. You can always hear where Nick is in the room as the fun, laughter and applause follows him from table to table!

After the speeches (wedding magician) but before the evening disco/band gets into full swing

After dinner magician. This is a great time as there can be a lull at weddings with daytime guests roaming with little to do. Having magic at this time bridges the gap between daytime and evening events perfectly. Also, it’s a great way to break the ice as evening guests arrive.

Magician for the evening entertainment.

Nick has been hired to entertain in quieter bar areas, at tables in a function room for those who don’t like dancing or in a side “lounge” room at the venue.

Although he can perform in the same main room as the disco/band, it’s not advisable to get the best as Nick ideally needs to be heard as well as seen!

The best close up magicians

5 things to look for when booking top-class close up magicians:

1. Experience – How long has the magician been working? Check to see if they have a website and read real testimonials from past clients to get an idea of how good they are. Nick has been a professional for over 20 years. Being a member of the Magic Circle (or Inner Magic Circle) in London is a good guide, but be aware there are smaller local magic clubs that often get mistaken as being THE Magic Circle.

2. Reviews & Awards – Do they have awards? Have they won competitions? Read reviews on their social media channels, Google or their own website. Many of the so-called “awards” some magicians have “won” are not really worth writing about once you dig a little deeper. Nick’s awards were all presented by prestigious magic societies after winning several highly contested competitions. The awards are very well respected in the world of magic.

3. Their Show – Check out their website to see if they have a video of their magic performance online. Make certain to watch “unedited” live footage of each close-up magician you are interested in as well as the studio edited magic.

Nick is one of the best close up magicians in the UK – See videos here to see for yourself!

4. Booking Contracts and Insurance – bookings should always be confirmed in writing online with a simple contract. Insurance will be required by most of the UK’s venues. Nick is a member of Equity and has public liability insurance as part of the membership.

5. Price – The price of a close-up magician should always provide superb value for money. Cheaper magicians are usually cheaper for a reason (or several) and most likely won’t tick all the points made in 1-4 above. Booking cheap will usually result in getting a disappointing, amateur magician. Nick is not the cheapest magician around, but he does offer the best value and lasting memories you’ll remember forever. All of his previous clients agree – check out his reviews here.

What does close up magic involve?

Performed to small groups or at tables, close up magic is a brilliant way to keep guests entertained. It’s a very flexible type of entertainment and as such can be performed virtually anytime, anywhere.

Nick’s close up magic takes it to the next level, with unbelievable mind-reading (pin numbers, thought of names etc), sleight of hand skills and pickpocketing. Imagine watching a brilliant close up magic show and realising that as part of the performance, your phone is no longer in your pocket and your watch has vanished from your wrist! It’s hilarious when everything is returned.

Close up magic is far more personal than the magic performed by stage magicians, and is one of the reasons it’s become increasingly popular at events over the years.

Magical Entertainment For Large Events

For a large gathering such as a conference and awards dinner, Nick very often works alongside other magician colleagues. He can arrange this for you so you can book with confidence, conveniently all on one order. His magician team is made of highly skilled, reliable acts.

Nick’s team includes:

Hypnotists, Comedy Magicians, Pickpocket magic, Caricaturists, Silhouette Cutters, Stage Magicians, Illusion shows performing stage magic, variety cabaret show or cabaret magic show / after dinner magician, Sleight of hand magic experts, Mind Readers and other types of magical entertainment. Please ask for details for high quality, fun entertainment.
