    • Weddings

    If you’re looking for a magician in Norfolk or Norwich, I can tailor the performance to suit your event.

  • I’m a professional close-up magician in Norwich, specialising in sleight-of-hand magic performed right in front of your guests.

    It’s all about involving your guests and creating moments where they feel part of the magic. My aim is for people to feel amazed, but also genuinely good about themselves – often feeling like they’ve made the impossible happen in their own hands.

  • Close-up magic is ideal for weddings because it fits naturally into the day. As a wedding magician based in Norwich, I typically perform:

    • During the drinks reception (to break the ice)

    • Between courses at the wedding breakfast

    • Optionally during the evening reception

    I’m always flexible to fit around your plans. Guests experience magic in small groups, creating a relaxed and engaging atmosphere.

    I also perform a special trick for the couple to mark the occasion and give them a memorable souvenir.

  • Most bookings are between 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on your event.

    I don’t take multiple bookings on the same day, so I can give your event my full focus. I’ll work with you to create a schedule where the magic enhances the day without interrupting key moments.

    If I’m acting as your event MC, I can be there for as long as required.

  • Being a magician is all about building a rapport with your guests, which makes combining magic with the role of event MC a great fit.

    I’ve acted as MC for weddings and charity events - making announcements, keeping everything running smoothly, and ensuring the day flows well, alongside performing magic.

    If you book me as your MC, I’ll also help with planning and talk everything through with you in advance.

  • Yes, I’m based in Norwich but regularly perform across Norfolk, Suffolk, and the surrounding areas. If your event is further afield, feel free to get in touch to discuss travel options.

  • My magic is primarily designed for adult audiences, especially at weddings and corporate events. However, it’s still visual and engaging enough to be enjoyed by guests of all ages.

  • Hiring a close-up magician is a great way to:

    • Break the ice between guests

    • Create shared experiences

    • Add something unique and memorable
