Close-Up Chris, Magician

We booked Chris for our wedding and he was fantastic. He's a really clever, confident and warm presenter - with a fantastic act which was really well thought out - great for kids but critically absolute fun for all the adults. His adult sense of humour worked really well through the magic. Thank you Chris ! Ellen and Simon.

It was our Daughter’s 40th Birthday Party on 21 February 2025. We organised a Magician called ‘Close-Up Chris’. We had never met him before. Chris wasn’t just a Magician, he had many skills. He was funny and made everyone laugh. He worked out the area he needed and how his entertainment for the evening was going to work. Chris was just so engaging for the adults and children alike – everyone was mesmerised by him. He was totally focussed on the audience with no breaks, just continual socialising with them, getting to know them and vice versa. Chris was a master of his craft and although the party was for adults, by default there were about 15 children there too – all amazed at what he was doing. No-one was left out and Chris even knew their names. The show was aimed to perfection, not just for adults or children, it was for all. Thank you for making this a night to remember for us and our Daughter. So many compliments from all attendees, asking for his details. Thank you so much for wonderful entertainment which made the evening work.Moreexpand_more

Chris is a fantastic addition to any gathering or party. Will definitely use him again. Entertaining, friendly and professional.

Chris was fantastic for our winter bash! We booked the close-up corner option and it was worth every penny. Our guests loved crowding around and watching him perform multiple tricks and I'm still getting comments about the disbelief of someone's card being turned into a mini laptop! Will definitely be booking again. Thanks, from the other Chris!

Chris peformed at a corporate event recently and was the highlight of the day for all who attended. He was professional, yet had everybody laughing with constant entertainment and jokes. It was exactly what we were looking for, and broke up all silences between strangers - he really brought the event together and made the environment more lively. I would definitely recommend Chris for any future events. .

Chris attended our event in September he was amazing and our guests loved him he amazed them with his magic and also had them laughing! Will definitely have Chris at a future event.

Chris came to entertainment about 80 guests for a joint 40th bday. He was awesome - I have had so many comments from our friends and family about how much they enjoyed the performance. Chris tailored his act to our event and communication leading up to the night was excellent. Felt very lucky to find Chris - highly recommend.

Fantastic! From start to finish … everyone commented on how amazing Chris was, we couldn’t have asked for more ! Also, communication before the event was first class … would highly recommend.

We hired Chris to perform at our wedding and it was a great decision! He amazed our guests with his tricks and had them in fits of laughter. Also a really nice and professional guy, Chris is ideal to add something different to a wedding or a party. The booking process was very simple and Chris replied to emails in a timely manner, he was also prepared to travel outside his usual area to accommodate us. Highly recommended!

Chris was truly fantastic and held our wedding guests captivated and in hysterics at our garden wedding. His magic and humour are second to none and everyone commented about how amazing he was - thoroughly recommend.

Chris came to our year 6 leavers prom. The children loved watching his magic and he was great with them! I would certainly have him at any other function I was running. Thank you!

If you’re looking for something unique, fun, and a guaranteed talking point for your wedding then choose Close Up Chris! It was by far one of the best decisions we made having him at our wedding. Our guests have not stopped talking about him since. He was super impressive, super clever, and above all else it was just pure magic! …We have no idea how he did all of his tricks! SO SO SOOOO GOOD! :) Thanks again Chris.

Chris attended my Civil Partnership celebration, standing in at the last minute and didn't disappoint. He really got it going with his funny, engaging and mesmering range of tricks. We were still trying to work how he did some of these several hours later! I would strongly recommend Chris for your celebration/party.

Chris attended our work Summer Party and absolutely blew us away! Great energy and humour throughout the night, seemed to be enjoying himself just as much as we were. Professional set up, great communication in the run up to the event, and a highly skilled magician. A real bonus to have there and can recommend him 100%.

Chris was incredible at our wedding drinks reception. If you are in two minds about having a magician like we were, just do it. You will not regret it. Our guests loved him. He was very funny, he definitely knew how to play to the audience he had at the time around the table. So many of our guests commented on how amazing he was and it got different groups of our guests laughing and talking together. Thank you Chris for everything.

Chris was amazing. First of all a great guy, lovely personality. The tricks were incredible! Everyone’s first comments after have been how good the magician was. I could just hear laughters and Applause coming from Chris’ direction the whole time he was there. Easy to book and loved having him at the wedding. Would highly recommend!

Chris was totally amazing at our wedding. We saw him at another wedding and thought he was so hilarious and it was such a fun addition to the day that we had to book him! Not only was he a great magician (our guests were trying to figure out how he did everything the next day, and failing), he's also such a comedian and great showman, such a great vibe to have around on the day. He also managed to capture some great videos on the day which was so nice and such a special touch! Incredible. He arrived so early and just sorted himself out, we didn't have to worry about his setup or anything at all, he just made it work! So many guests mentioned how fun they thought it was having him there, such a great addition to the day :) thank you Chris!

We had a great time celebrating at my husbands 50th birthday party and we were so glad we booked Chris. What an engaging, funny and talented man! Everyone enjoyed watching him - he was the talk of the night. We would highly recommend!

We booked Close-Up Chris for a corporate event we were holding in London and it was the best decision! He was very funny, engaging and truly memorable! I still have people telling me how much they enjoyed the evening and how amazing they found Close-Up Chris, weeks after the event! Book him - you definitely wont regret it! He dazzled us!

I booked Chris last minute for my sons 5th birthday party, we already had entertainment for the kids and needed something to entertain the parents. Chris set up at the bar and entertained the adults and older kids, he was AMAZING, left everyone baffled on how he did all his magic tricks, along with the banter and jokes, it was a very successful party both adults and children enjoyed and have been giving non stop compliments and thank you's.
