Where magic fits into your Christmas event

Drinks reception entertainment

I move between small groups performing quick, interactive magic that gets people talking straight away and helps break the ice while drinks are being served.

Networking before the party starts

Yes. Short moments of magic give people a shared experience, which naturally sparks conversation between colleagues who may not know each other well.

Between courses at dinner

Yes. I perform at tables between courses so guests have something engaging to enjoy during the natural pauses in the meal.

Table magic

It’s close-up magic performed directly for small groups at their tables, with guests involved in the moment rather than watching from a distance.

Richard was incredible! Highly recommend. We hired him for a 50 person drinks party and not only was his up close magic extremely engaging, he fitted in socially very well so everyone enjoyed it. Lots of positive feedback after the event.

Why close up magic works at Christmas Parties

Breaks the ice between guests

Magic will act as a social lubrication, it will give guests something to watch and ultimately get them talking.

Interactive entertainment at the Christmas Party

This is the best bit, rather than watching a show, guests are entertained where they naturally place themselves.

Therefore, magic will happen in their own hands, creating laughter and mystery.

Helps guests feel engaged right from the start

At some office Christmas parties colleagues bring partners or invite clients who may not know each other well.

Because of this, close up magic gives them a shared experience and instantly gets conversations started.
