Be prepared to be stunned! Bernie is one of the UK's top close up magic performers. This modern form of mix and mingle entertainment will create strong, lasting memories for you and your guests.
Bernie will enliven any function with his skilful sleight of hand performed at your guest’s fingertips. Magic performed with cards, coins etc.
Your guests will be stunned as a ladies ring vanishes inches from their eyes to magically reappear within a rose (ask Steve Mc Claren). As was Zoë Ball when Bernie performed with her on BBC TV Live & Kicking.
Close up magic is highly flexible and adaptable and a success at any function. It is an excellent icebreaker and helps to generate a fun atmosphere.
Ideally suited for Corporate Hospitality, Wedding Receptions, Trade shows/Product launches, Birthday parties Weddings are my speciality. From the moment your guests arrive, it is my pleasure to enhance your whole wedding day experience. My experience at countless weddings can help to make your reception a celebration.
Modern close up magic is the ideal entertainment to add impact to your wedding reception, bonding guests & families and entertaining during "quiet" spells, swopping over rooms, photographs etc.
Discreet entertainment to enhance but not dominate.
Bernie's job is to make your event special! He is a skilful talented magician but beyond that he is an entertainer. He will make your event not just memorable but magical!
Specialising in skilful sleight of hand close up magic, performed at the guest’s fingertips, Bernie can enhance your event.
He is a past president of Derby Magic Circle and winner of several specialised competitions for close up magic.
As well as having unbelievable skills, Bernie knows the “True” magic of entertaining. Not just amazing guests but performing in an entertaining fashion so that they enjoy being fooled by his stunning skills and likeable, friendly personality.
