Lancashire Magicians

What different types of magician are available in Lancashire and what will they do at my event?

Magicians offer a range of tricks and performances tailored to various event types, including weddings, parties, and corporate events. These performances typically contain a mix of sleight of hand, mentalism, and illusions, with close-up magicians focusing on one-to-one interactions with guests, while stage magicians perform more elaborate illusions for a larger audience, often in the style of an after-dinner cabaret show.

Close-up magic at events is popular because of its intimate and interactive nature, allowing guests to experience phenomenal magic up close and personal. This style of performance encourages interaction between the magician and the audience, as well as between guests, helping to break the ice, and creating memorable moments that leave a lasting impression.

Wedding Magician Lancashire

A magician for weddings will mix and mingle with your friends and family, usually during your wedding drinks reception, performing close up magic tricks to the amazement of small groups of guests. This is a great way to break the ice and bring different guests together, interacting, and creating a talking point on your wedding day. Typically, magicians at weddings will perform for two hours, and will aim to have performed tricks for all of your guests by the time your reception finishes. A wedding magician is one of our most popular types of wedding entertainment.

Corporate Magician Lancashire

A corporate event magician will wander amongst guests at business gatherings, showcasing a range of sleight of hand tricks and illusions. They can also be booked to perform after dinner cabaret stage magic shows, and they’re a top pick for trade shows and exhibitions, where they're a great way to keep delegates entertained at your booth. Magicians are one of our most popular choices of corporate entertainment.

Table Magicians

As the name suggests, Table magicians perform close-up magic tricks to guests who are seated at tables, usually before or during dinner. They’re a popular option for a wedding breakfast or for any event where guests are formally seated to eat. Creating a magical ambience, performers work the room using cards and everyday objects to mesmerise the crowd. They are also frequently booked to provide entertainment in restaurants.
