Mental Magic - Close-up Magician - London Event Type: Gala Dinner 2nd October 2025
We had the pleasure of having Kassim perform at our gala dinner and he was absolutely sensational. From start to finish, he had our guests completely mesmerised. His mind-reading and close-up magic were unlike anything we’ve ever experienced — people were left speechless and talking about it all night. What truly set Kassim apart was not only the world-class magic, but the way he engaged with everyone in such a warm and professional manner. He brought laughter, amazement, and a real sense of wonder to the evening. Many of our guests said his performance was the highlight of the night. If you’re looking for entertainment that is elegant, unforgettable, and guaranteed to impress, Kassim is the one to book. He elevated our gala dinner and we cannot recommend him highly enough.

Popular locations include The Ned, Sky Garden, Claridge’s, The Dorchester, Sketch, Aqua Shard, and iconic spaces such as The Magic Circle and Somerset House. They can also adapt to smaller borough-specific venues across Westminster, Islington, South Kensington, and Canary Wharf.

How much does it cost to hire a London close-up magician?
Prices typically range from £250 to £600 depending on experience, performance length, and event type. Booking directly through our platform ensures no hidden fees or agency markups.

Are all Magicians in London part of the Magic Circle and what's the benefit?
Many are, but not all! For those that are, most include mention of magic circle membership on their Profile. The main benefit of booking a Magic Circle Magician is that you are much more likely to receive a professional, highly skilled, and credible performer with proven expertise, that was demonstrated and accepted by the Magic Circle.     

How far in advance should I book a magician in London?
For peak periods like summer weekends and December, it’s best to book 3–6+ months in advance, with London being the most popular event booking location in the UK. Many performers can accommodate last-minute bookings where possible, but it's best to try and book up in advance! 

Are London magicians insured?
Yes – most professional magicians hold public liability insurance, which venues often require. Insurance details are listed on their profiles or can be confirmed directly.

What is a close-up magician?
A close-up magician performs magic right under your nose – no stage or large props, just illusions using everyday items like cards, coins, ropes, or smartphones. They mingle with guests, adding a personal and memorable touch to weddings, parties, and corporate events.

How long does a close-up magician typically perform for?
Most clients hire a magician for 1–3 hours, but you can choose the duration to suit your event, guest numbers, and schedule.

What types of events are close-up magicians suitable for?
Close-up magicians are perfect for weddings, corporate functions, birthdays, Christmas parties, product launches, networking events, anniversaries, gala dinners, and charity fundraisers. Their interactive style encourages guests to mingle and keeps energy high.

Can I see reviews or videos before I book a magician?
