Magician in Leeds
Weddings · Parties · Corporate Events
I'm Nick Rushton, and I regularly perform at events across Leeds and West Yorkshire. With over 30 years of experience performing close-up magic at weddings, parties and corporate events, I'm a former Magic Circle Young Magician of the Year winner and I've appeared on BBC One, Channel 5 and Sky.

Hiring a Magician in Leeds
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 Leeds 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.

I've been lucky enough to perform at many of Leeds' top venues including The Queens Hotel, the Mansion at Roundhay Park, the Royal Armouries, Rudding Park, Oulton Hall, The Met Hotel, Thorpe Park Hotel, Harewood House, Hazlewood Castle and many more across Leeds and West Yorkshire.
Leeds Wedding Magician
Wedding magic in Leeds is 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. See my Leeds wedding venues guide for the inside track.
