Close-up magician · UK

Magic that happens in your guests’ hands.

No stage. No big box illusions. Just sleight of hand performed inches from your guests at weddings, corporate events and private parties — the kind of moment people are still talking about on the drive home.

Where I perform

Every booking is mix-and-mingle close-up magic, shaped around your day — whether that’s drinks receptions, table rounds or both.

Weddings

The drinks reception, the photo lull, the turnaround between courses — I keep your guests entertained and mixing during the gaps, so the day never loses momentum.

Corporate events

An ice-breaker that actually works. Award nights, client dinners and Christmas parties — close-up magic gets strangers talking and gives colleagues a shared story.

Private parties

Birthdays, anniversaries and dinner parties at home or a venue. Intimate, personal performances your guests won’t see coming — and won’t forget.

Meet Guy

Close-up magic isn’t about fooling people. It’s about giving them something they’ll still be talking about long after the event.

I’m Guy, a Manchester-based close-up magician performing at weddings, corporate events and private celebrations across the North West and beyond.

My style is relaxed, interactive and built around your guests. No stage, no awkward volunteers, and none of the old magician stereotypes. Just impossible moments happening right in people’s hands, plenty of laughter, and conversations that continue long after I’ve moved on to the next group.

While your guests are enjoying something unforgettable, you can relax knowing the entertainment is taking care of itself. I arrive early, dress for the occasion and fit naturally into your event, whether that’s an elegant wedding reception, a corporate drinks evening or a family celebration.

Professional. Approachable. Memorable.

  • Fully insured with public liability cover
  • Tailored to your event and schedule
  • Based in Greater Manchester, performing across the UK

Kind words

Guy was the talk of our wedding. Guests still message us about him months later — he made the day feel impossibly special.

Roni & Gary Wedding

Polished, professional and genuinely brilliant. Our clients were charmed within seconds and stunned within minutes.

We’ve booked a lot of magicians. Guy is the only one we’ve booked twice. Warm, sharp, and unbelievably good with people.

Questions, answered

Where in the UK do you perform?
Guy is based in Manchester and regularly travels across the UK. From the Cotswolds to the Highlands, distance is rarely an issue — just say where and when.
How long do you perform for?
Most events book between 1.5 and 3 hours of mix-and-mingle magic. Guy will help you map it to the rhythm of your day so it lands at exactly the right moments.
How much space do you need?
None. The magic happens in your guests’ hands. Guy moves naturally through your event — no stage, no setup, no fuss.
Are you fully insured and a member of The Magic Circle?
Yes, and sort of. Guy carries £10m public liability insurance and is a proud member of the Order of the Magi. It’s more secret than The Magic Circle.
