For weddings, corporate events, trade shows and parties - West Midlands and across the UK
Banter Magic - Funny Close-Up Magician, West Midlands
Clever sleight of hand with a big helping of humour. More than 20 years of making guests laugh, gasp and ask “how did he do that?”
Sleight of hand with a sense of humour
Banter Magic is a close-up magician based in the West Midlands, with more than 20 years as a professional entertainer at weddings, company events and parties.
His magic happens right under people’s noses, and often in their own hands. Cards, coins, rings and borrowed money all play a part. A coin bends while a guest is watching it, and a five pound note turns into a fifty. Just as important is the chat. He is quick, friendly and very funny, so the laughs come as fast as the gasps.
He mingles with guests during drinks receptions, moves from table to table during dinner, and works trade stands. He has performed for parties of 15 and banquets of several hundred, at venues across the UK and as far away as Australia and New Zealand.
He is a member of the Magic Circle, and his corporate clients have included HSBC, Barclays, BMW, Sky, Boots, Deloitte, Hilton Hotels and Nissan.
