Close-up magician and mind reader for weddings, parties and corporate events
Craig the Magician
World-class close-up magic and mind reading that turns mingling time into the part your guests remember.
High-impact magic that fits around your event
Craig is an experienced close-up magician and mind reader with more than 20 years of professional event experience, entertaining wedding guests, corporate audiences and private parties across the UK and overseas.
His performance works best in the moments where people are already together: drinks receptions, photo sessions, room turnarounds, wedding breakfasts, networking events and evening parties. Guests see the magic inches away, often in their own hands, so the reactions feel natural rather than staged.
Expect polished sleight of hand, psychological illusions, mind reading and confident guest interaction from a performer trusted by major brands, luxury venues and high-profile private clients.

“If you’re booking a magician, Craig is the one!”
Manager of The Cliff Restaurant, Barbados
“When my wife informed me she had booked a magician for our event I was extremely sceptical… How wrong I was, from the beginning Craig had me rooted to my seat. His banter and his magic had everybody spell bound, the tricks were awe inspiring and his chat highly amusing. The whole party were thoroughly entertained. I would thoroughly recommend Craig as extremely good value and give him a 5+ Gold Star rating”
