Magician in Poynton
Weddings · Parties · Corporate Events
I'm Nick Rushton, a Cheshire-based close-up magician performing at weddings, corporate events and parties in Poynton and across east Cheshire. 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 Poynton
Poynton sits on the edge of the Peak District between Stockport and Macclesfield, so as a Cheshire-based magician it's an easy, familiar area for me to work in. I'm booked here for weddings, corporate events and private parties throughout the year.
With the Peak District on one side and easy access to Stockport, Manchester and Manchester Airport on the other, Poynton is a convenient spot for events of every kind. I also regularly cover neighbouring Bramhall, Hazel Grove, Disley, Adlington, Prestbury and Wilmslow. Travel across the area is always included in my quote.
Hiring a Magician in Poynton
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 more popular than ever, guests are wonderfully receptive to close-up magic performed well.
Weddings in and around Poynton
The countryside on the Cheshire–Peak District fringe around Poynton, Prestbury and Adlington is popular wedding territory, with country houses, halls and marquee settings within easy reach. Wedding magic works beautifully during the drinks reception — filling the gap while the couple have their photos taken — and table magic between courses of the wedding breakfast keeps guests entertained.

Corporate Magician Poynton
With Stockport, Manchester and Manchester Airport close by, Poynton is well placed for corporate events — conferences, awards dinners, product launches, team-building days 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 Poynton Magician
A polished website doesn't always mean a polished performance. Before you book, read genuine reviews and watch unedited live video footage so you know exactly what you'll get on the day. I'm always happy to have a friendly, no-pressure chat about your event first.
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.
