Sleight of Hand Magic

Sleight of Hand Magic

Sleight of hand is the basis of close up magic. While a seasoned professional magician will make a trick look effortless and easy, it actually takes a lot of practice to get to this stage.

When Christopher was learning his trade, he’d spend hours and hours and hours getting the tricks right. And even though he is now a highly experienced magician, he still practises a lot to ensure his performances are always nothing less than dazzling!

Why hire a sleight of hand magician?
Good sleight of hand magic can provoke feelings of wonder and awe. Scientists have found that these feelings help bring people together, promoting kindness, altruism and other ‘prosocial’ behaviours. That’s why sleight of hand magicians are so popular as entertainers at social events such as weddings, because it helps to get everyone – even total strangers – talking to each other and joining in.
Sleight of hand magic is perfect for weddings
Christopher is booked to perform his hugely entertaining sleight of hand magic at weddings on a regular basis and all year round. Close up magic appeals to a diverse range of people of all ages, and a wedding is the kind of event that is virtually guaranteed to have a wide mix of guests from all generations. If you are looking for someone to provide your guests with fantastic entertainment on your wedding day, talk to Christopher about how he can help.
Corporate entertainment and sleight of hand magic
Sleight of hand magic is an excellent way to entertain guests at corporate events. When you’re bringing together so many people with different interests and outlooks, finding entertainment that the majority will enjoy is an almost impossible task. Having a close up magician doing table magic or entertaining small groups of guests at the drinks reception is bound to help you achieve high scores on the feedback forms!

The best magician I have ever seen, producing fire one moment then a block of ice the next. AMAZING.

Rod Stewart

Tonight I witnessed real magic happen right before my very eyes.

Graham Norton

My ring vanished and appeared in a walnut. Miracles do happen, I’ve witnessed it.

Claudia Winkleman

I witnessed the impossible and I loved it.

Holly Willoughby

Truly fascinating, I could watch you for hours.

Clare Balding

I was watching so intensely but you still managed to take my watch. Irritatingly marvellous.

Hugh Grant

I am truly baffled as to how the card I signed ended up inside a block of ice. You are in no doubt an incredibly talented gentleman; one of the best magicians I have seen in a very long time.

A. Thompson

Your magic was the perfect entertainment that our dinner party needed. Our guests have not stopped talking about your outstanding wizardry. The best part was when you took Stuart’s watch and it ended up inside your wallet. I never thought about having a magician for after the dinner, but I’m so glad we booked you as it was the highlight of our evening.

Ross Sinclair

Christopher was superb – everyone was talking about how he made the bottle disappear through the table. It amazed us all and I couldn’t compliment Christopher more.

Lee Boswel

I can’t recommend you highly enough and everyone is still talking about your magic! Well worth every penny. If you’re getting married then look no further than Christopher for your entertainment – best decision we made.
