What tricks does a magician perform at your event?

If you’re thinking about hiring an event magician and considering CW Magic, you may be wondering: ‘will our magic match your event?’ The thing about magic is that it can be tailored to suit most types of events – from weddings and parties to corporate events and trade shows. But there are certain types of tricks that always tend to work well.

The unique appeal of an event magician

For hosts and organisers in the UK’s more discerning circles – particularly in Hertfordshire, London and surrounding areas – an event magician offers a rare combination of sophistication, surprise, and personal connection. Magic is not about pulling rabbits from hats, it’s about creating moments that feel bespoke, intimate, and unforgettable.

For weddings, a magician like Chris Whitelock seamlessly weaves between tables or mingles during the drinks reception, ensuring every guest feels personally engaged. The magic becomes a talking point, breaking the ice between guests who may not know each other and adding a touch of theatre that complements live bands and other entertainment.

If you’re planning a milestone birthday, magic injects a sense of playfulness and wonder that transcends generations. Whether performed up-close over cocktails or as a short after-dinner show, it keeps the atmosphere light and celebratory without overshadowing the guest of honour.

For private dinners or house parties, a magician can tailor performances to fit the intimacy of the setting. Guests are treated to interactive, impossible feats right under their noses, turning an already special evening into something truly memorable.

Magicians also add a unique element to corporate events, particularly for well-known brands. A skilled magician can subtly incorporate brand messages or products into the performance, creating a unique and shareable experience that reflects the company’s personality. It’s entertainment with an edge – polished, professional, and designed to leave a lasting impression. 

What CW Magic performs at events

Close Up Sleight of Hand

Moving effortlessly between small groups, Chris performs astonishing feats just inches from guests’ eyes. Think borrowed rings vanishing and reappearing in impossible places, signed playing cards appearing in wallets, or coins melting through solid glass. Every move is delivered with charm, wit, and perfect timing, ensuring the reactions are as memorable as the magic itself.

Mind-Reading & Mentalism

Chris taps into the intrigue of the mind, apparently revealing thoughts, predicting choices, and even influencing decisions before they’re made. Whether it’s naming a word someone is merely thinking of or predicting a drawing made moments earlier, this style of magic creates gasps and wide-eyed disbelief – ideal for breaking the ice and sparking conversation at weddings and corporate events.

Visual Illusions

These are the ‘how on earth?’ moments where objects change form, float in mid-air, or transform in the blink of an eye. Chris uses smooth visual illusions that play brilliantly both in-person and on camera, ensuring guests have something jaw-dropping to remember (and share).

Tailored Tricks for the Occasion

Every event is unique, and so is our approach. Tricks can be customised to include the couple’s names at a wedding, a milestone number for a birthday, or even a company’s brand colours and products for corporate events. This personalisation makes the magic feel exclusive, relevant, and crafted just for that audience.
