Description

The main service I offer is making an event as special as possible for those attending. This includes walking around and performing magic to different groups of guests at the event to help make them and the event feel as special as possible. However, it also includes breaking ice and finding connections between groups that don’t know each other being, doing little things to make sure guest’s broader needs are met, and being aware of the goings on of the event itself to ensure everything runs as smoothly as possible. I also offer short stage shows which can act as an intermission during ... an event.
Additionally, I offer Virtual Interactive Magic Shows. These are perfect for if you want a fun way to spice up a meeting, or if you want to celebrate but not everyone can be geographically in the same place. I join the vidcall for 20-40 mins and entertain any group, any size.

Biography

I was born in South East London but have worked and travelled all over the world, performed magic in the UK, The Netherlands, Germany, Kenya, Japan and Australia. I am a huge people person and I have a love of travelling (as you can likely tell). Currently I am split between living in Germany and the UK :)

Oscar Smith - Close-up Magician - Herne Hill, London Event Location: London Event Type: Summer Party 16th August 2025

We booked Oscar to do close up magic at our drinks party for 60 guests. We were delighted with his performance, and work. He circulated the room effectively- spending enough time with each group- but not too much. His tricks and patter were new and fun and he varied his tricks. He blended in very well wit our guest who varied in age from 20-75. 5 stars out of 5. Would heartily recommend. Thanks Oscar. Hazel and John Forbes x

Oscar Smith - Wedding Magician - Herne Hill, London Event Location: Twycross Zoo Event Type: Wedding 2nd March 2024

Oscar entranced the guests at my son’s wedding. He captivated everyone from the youngest (aged 7) to the eldest guest (over 70). He made himself an integral part of the evening, proactively engaging guests all around the room with a friendly smile, and sparking many discussions trying to work his tricks out. A great addition to any event.

Experience

While I have performed at summer parties, birthday parties, weddings and corporate events, I was the Magician In Residence for the "Museum of Illusions Maastricht" in The Netherlands. I performed on the street to engage and attract customers, entertained customers queueing to make their wait more enjoyable and featured in videos used for advertising on the museum's social media pages. This was additionally often done both with children and across a language barrier, requiring me to rely on strong visual magic, expressive communication and audience participation to create memorable experience ... s that went beyond spoken language. This, coupled with my other experiences, has given me the confidence and adaptability to connect with people of all ages and backgrounds, ensuring every performance is engaging, inclusive and unforgettable
