Weddings · Parties · Corporate Events
I'm Nick Rushton, an award-winning close-up magician performing at weddings, corporate events and parties across Oxford and Oxfordshire. 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 Oxford
Oxford is a wonderful city for events, with its historic colleges, elegant hotels and beautiful surrounding countryside. I'm booked for Oxford weddings, corporate events, private parties and client hospitality across the city and county.
I cover the whole of Oxford and the surrounding Oxfordshire area — including Bicester, Abingdon, Witney, Woodstock and the edge of the Cotswolds — as well as neighbouring Berkshire and Buckinghamshire. Travel is always included in my quote.
Hiring a Magician in Oxford
Close-up magic works brilliantly at Oxford events because it turns the quieter moments — the drinks reception, the gap between courses, the networking hour — into the part guests remember most. All I need is a room full of people; there's no stage, no PA and no setup, just magic that happens right in your guests' hands.
Weddings in Oxford
Wedding magic in Oxford works 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 historic college settings to country-house venues in the Oxfordshire countryside, I tailor my performance to suit the room.
Corporate Magician Oxford
Oxford has a busy calendar of corporate events — from its universities, science parks and conference venues to hotel awards dinners 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.
Reliability & Professionalism
I've been a professional magician for over 29 years, with Public Liability Insurance through Equity and over 500 five-star reviews. Bookings are confirmed in writing, every detail is checked before the event, and I always arrive early and smartly presented.
