Magician in Sheffield
Weddings · Parties · Corporate Events
I'm Nick Rushton, and I regularly perform at events across Sheffield and South 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.
Close-Up Magician in Sheffield
Sheffield has some fantastic event venues, and I perform across the city and South Yorkshire regularly. From weddings at Kenwood Hall and Whirlowbrook Hall to corporate events at Cutlers' Hall and parties across the area.
I cover all of Sheffield and South Yorkshire including Rotherham, Barnsley, Doncaster, Chesterfield and surrounding areas. Travel is always included in my quote.
Hiring a Magician in Sheffield
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 Sheffield 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 Sheffield's top venues including Kenwood Hall, Whirlowbrook Hall, Cutlers' Hall, Baldwins Omega, Sheffield Town Hall, Mercure Sheffield St Paul's, Mosborough Hall, Wortley Hall, OEC Sheffield, Tankersley Manor and many more across South Yorkshire.
Sheffield Wedding Magician
Wedding magic in Sheffield 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 Sheffield wedding venues guide for the inside track.
Corporate Magician Sheffield
I regularly perform at corporate events across Sheffield — conferences at Sheffield City Hall, awards dinners at Cutlers' Hall, team-building events and Christmas parties. Compare options in my Sheffield corporate venues guide.
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 — required by most Sheffield venues.
