Performance Options

Close-up magic

Sophisticated close-up magic and mind-reading performed for small groups of guests, creating moments of surprise, interaction and conversation throughout an event.

Ideal for drinks receptions, networking events, corporate dinners, awards evenings, weddings and private parties. The performance works naturally around the room without interrupting the flow of the event.

Performances typically last 1-3 hours and can be tailored to the number of guests and format of the event.

Mind-reading

Mind-reading can be incorporated into a close-up performance or given greater emphasis for clients looking for something beyond traditional sleight-of-hand magic.

Interactive, intelligent and engaging, it works particularly well at corporate dinners, networking events and private parties and can be tailored to suit the audience and occasion.

Parlour magic / small show

A short interactive magic and mind-reading performance for guests gathered together, combining sophisticated magic, humour, storytelling and audience participation.

Ideal for private dinners, corporate events and smaller celebrations where a shared performance is more appropriate than walk-around magic.

Performances typically last 20-30 minutes. Technical requirements depend on the size of the audience and venue.
