Smart close-up magic for the South West

Jack is a close-up magician based in Cornwall and a member of The Magic Circle. He has been doing magic for more than 15 years, and has performed full time since 2019.

His style is grounded and modern. There are no cheesy stereotypes, no bad language and no jokes at a guest’s expense. He uses cards, coins, mind reading and everyday objects, and the magic happens a few inches from the people watching, often in their own hands.

Before magic, Jack worked in hospitality. It shows. He reads a room well, knows when a table wants to be left to eat, and lifts the atmosphere without overpowering it.

At a wedding, that means breaking the ice at the drinks reception, filling the quieter moments while photos are taken, and keeping guests entertained between courses and into the evening.
