Magician in Cardiff
Weddings · Parties · Corporate Events
I'm Nick Rushton, an award-winning close-up magician performing at weddings, corporate events and parties across Cardiff and South Wales. With over 30 years' experience, I'm a former Magic Circle Young Magician of the Year winner and I've appeared on BBC One, Channel 5 and Sky.
Close-Up Magician in Cardiff
Cardiff is the Welsh capital and one of the UK's great events cities — packed with hotels, castles and waterfront venues. I'm booked here for Cardiff weddings, corporate events and private parties across the city and the Vale of Glamorgan.
I cover all of Cardiff — the city centre, Cardiff Bay, Cathays, Roath, Pontcanna and Llandaff — plus Penarth, Barry, Caerphilly, Pontypridd and the wider South Wales area. Travel is always included in my quote.
Hiring a Magician in Cardiff
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.
Cardiff Venues I've Performed At
I've been lucky enough to perform at many venues across Cardiff including Cardiff Castle, Miskin Manor, Hensol Castle, The Parkgate Hotel, St David's Hotel, Mercure Holland House, and venues across Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan.
Cardiff Wedding Magician
Wedding magic in Cardiff works beautifully during the drinks reception — filling the gap while the couple have their photos taken — with table magic between courses of the wedding breakfast and entertainment into the evening. From castle and country-house settings to waterfront hotels in the Bay, I tailor my performance to suit the room.
Corporate Magician Cardiff
As the business and conference capital of Wales, Cardiff has a busy calendar of corporate events — conferences, awards dinners, product launches, client hospitality and Christmas parties. Close-up magic is a natural ice-breaker for networking and drinks receptions, working around speeches and food without needing a stage.
How to Choose a Cardiff 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.
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.
