Dear Oscar.
Thank you so much for making our family gathering so wonderful. You managed to engage and captivate both adults and children, not an easy thing to achieve. The magic was brilliant and the audience participation was huge fun. Your fabulous sense of humor throughout made us laugh so much, creating a memorable party with a great atmosphere.

Nicholas delivered one of the most astonishing performances any of us have ever witnessed.
His ability to read people, predict impossible outcomes, and involve every guest with warmth and humour was simply remarkable.
There was a constant buzz throughout the party as everyone compared their incredible experiences with him. He has an exceptional stage presence and a natural ability to connect with people, making every moment feel extraordinary.
If you're looking for a performer who will leave your guests amazed, emotional, and talking about your event for months afterwards, Nicholas is absolutely outstanding.

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.
