Close-Up Magician in Southampton
Southampton is one of the South Coast's biggest cities — a busy port and business hub with a wide range of hotels and event venues. I'm booked here for weddings, corporate events and private parties across the city and Hampshire.
I cover all of Southampton plus the surrounding Hampshire area — including Winchester, Eastleigh, Romsey, the New Forest and across to Portsmouth. Travel is always included in my quote.
Hiring a Magician in Southampton
Close-up magic works brilliantly at Southampton 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 Southampton & Hampshire
Wedding magic 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. Hampshire and the New Forest are full of superb wedding venues.
Corporate Magician Southampton
As a major port and business city, Southampton 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.
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.
