Performs As: Cabaret Magician, Close-up Magician, Mentalist / Mind Reader, Other Magic & Illusion Act, Escape Artist, Comedy Cabaret Magician Country:United Kingdom Based In:Freshwater, South East Performs: Worldwide From:£200
From close-up and trade-show performances to large stage events, I perform magic and ‘mind-reading’ effects to many different audiences. Bringing humour, storytelling, and a real sense of magic to each performance I do, I have a performance to suit many types of event.
From close-up performances, to stage shows, cabaret performances and outdoor shows, I enjoy bringing magic to any event! With a range of magic available, a lot of what I do leans towards a 'mentalism', or 'mind-reading', style of magic, as I use observation, psychology and magic (among other techniques) to give you an experience to make you think about your thoughts - as well as being entertained! I believe that when you see a magician you want to be intrigued and enchanted, rather than just seeing a string of wonderful effects, and I deliver both in my shows of all sizes. I have 'sta
... nd up' style performances, where I can turn up and perform with nothing but a small case. At the opposite end of things, I have an old ice-cream tricycle converted into the 'Magical Trike' (which has even been prepared with Covid safety in mind!).

So entertaining. Visitors at our Annual Steampunk Weekend (including three Mayors of Hereford) have left the Waterworks Museum smiling and laughing after seeing Greg’s magic, mind reading and story telling performances. I cannot recommend Greg highly enough, whether its for his impromptu small group or large audience acts.

Gregistheultimate‘performer’andduringeventsisgreatat improvising using his wide range of skills and talents wherever required to ensure that event’s full potential is reached. He is lively and enthusiastic and, unlike some ‘acts’, Greg is not a clock-watcher and offers great value for money in that respect.
We have now engaged Greg across a number of our other events and I would not hesitate to recommend his skills and talents as a compare and all-round performer.

Greg Chapman - Magic and ‘Mindreading’ - Mentalist / Mind Reader - Freshwater, South EastEvent Location: Sudeley CastleEvent Type: Entertainment at Castle31st August 2016
The first time we booked Greg for an event we were not sure how good or ‘immersive’ a
one man show could possibly be. We found out and as a result Greg has been bringing
Condensed Histories to Sudeley Castle for four seasons. His shows are always enormous fun,
very well attended and have the added bonus of being educational to boot (not that the
children notice as they are having such a good time). Adults enjoy the humour just as much
and Greg is always developing new ideas so his shows stay fresh. He works hard, is a
pleasure to have around and his passion for what he does shines through. We have no
hesitation in recommending him.

I have been delighted with Greg Chapman every time I have booked him to entertain at my events, both historical events and steampunk festivals. Greg is the very first person I contact about his availability when planning a new event. His versatility and enthusiasm are invaluable, and I have no hesitation in recommending him (other than it possibly limits what shows he can do for me).
