Award-winning close-up magic, right under your guests’ noses

D.S. Magic is a member of The Magic Circle – an Associate of the Inner Magic Circle with Silver Star – and the winner of the London Society of Magicians close-up competition.

Ten years of full-time performing have given him an act built entirely around the moment of impact: cards, coins, rings and borrowed objects that do impossible things while your guests are holding them. There is no stage, no set-up and nothing to hide behind – which is exactly why the reactions are so genuine.

He works best in the parts of an event where people are already together and talking: drinks receptions, wedding breakfasts, table-to-table entertainment, client evenings and exhibition stands. Based in Ealing, West London, he performs anywhere in the UK.

Magic that happens in your guests’ hands

Close-up magic is the most direct form of the art: no distance, no angles, no props the audience cannot examine. A signed card, a borrowed ring or a handful of coins becomes the centre of the room for a few minutes, and the people watching are close enough to touch it.

  • Drinks receptions and photograph sessions
  • Wedding breakfasts and table-to-table entertainment
  • Room turnarounds and evening guest arrivals
  • Client evenings, awards dinners and exhibition stands

Feedback

“D.S. is one of the most talented magicians I have met. His sleight of hand is unreal – every time he performs it brings a smile to my face.”

“Very impressive. Worked the room without intruding on the event and amazed guests with his tricks. Despite being so close to people, no-one could work out how they were done. Very good.”

Tony Reynolds
★★★★★
