Magician in Bristol
Weddings · Parties · Corporate Events
I'm Nick Rushton, and I regularly perform at events across Bristol and the South West. With over 29 years of experience performing close-up magic at weddings, parties and corporate events, I'm a Previous Magic Circle Young Magician of the Year winner and I've appeared on BBC One, Channel 5 and Sky.

Hiring a Magician in Bristol
Close-up magic is the perfect ice breaker — at a wedding, corporate event or party, not all your guests will know each other. Magic creates an instant shared experience that gets everyone talking and laughing together. With magic on TV being so popular, people are more receptive than ever to great close-up magic performed well.
How to Choose a Bristol Magician
When choosing a magician, keep in mind that a fancy website doesn't always mean a great performance. It's vital to read genuine reviews and watch unedited live video footage to get an idea of what you'll actually get on the day. I'm always happy to have a friendly, no-pressure conversation about your event.
Bristol Venues I've Performed At
I've been lucky enough to perform at many of Bristol's top venues including Ashton Court Mansion, Leigh Court, Berwick Lodge, The Llandoger Trow, Bristol Harbour Hotel, Arnos Manor, The Clifton Pavilion, No. 1 Harbourside, Engineers House Clifton, The Bristol Hotel, Avon Gorge by Hotel du Vin, Tortworth Court and many more across the city.
Bristol Wedding Magician
Weddings are one of my specialities. The drinks reception is the most popular time — it fills the gap while photos are being taken and keeps guests entertained. Table magic between courses of the wedding breakfast works brilliantly too. Many couples book me for the evening reception as well. See my Bristol wedding magician page for more details.
Corporate Magician Bristol
I regularly perform at corporate events across Bristol — conferences, awards dinners, product launches, team-building events and Christmas parties. Close-up magic is a fantastic networking tool and always gets people talking.
Reliability & Professionalism
I've been a professional magician for over 29 years and have never let anyone down. All bookings are confirmed in writing, final details are checked around a week before the event, and I always arrive early and smartly presented. I have Public Liability Insurance through Equity.
