Magic that brings people together

Kindred Magic is a full-time professional close-up magician based in Manchester, a member of The Magic Circle and an award-winning sleight of hand performer with more than 15 years of events behind him.

For him, a good magician is not really about the tricks. It is about the moment a group of people share when something impossible happens in front of them. He moves from group to group and table to table, and the magic happens right under the guests’ noses and often in their own hands, with cards, coins and borrowed objects.

He is especially good with mixed audiences. Children, grandparents and the colleague who says they don’t like magic all get the same warm, friendly attention, which is why he is booked as often for family celebrations as for weddings and company events.

Magic at your wedding

A wedding brings together people who often have never met. Close-up magic gives them a shared moment to laugh about, and keeps the atmosphere up while the two of you are busy.

  • The drinks reception - mixing with guests while the photos are being taken
  • Before the wedding breakfast - filling the wait before everyone goes in to eat
  • Between courses - table to table, so every guest gets a turn
  • The evening reception - welcoming the evening guests as they arrive
  • For the whole family - just as much fun for the youngest guests as for the grandparents

What people say

“Booked Kindred Magic for our daughter’s wedding. Can’t praise his professional skills and abilities enough. We had over 50 guests and he managed to do something incredible with all of them. The feedback from our guests was nothing but complimentary. If you are looking for that special and something different for your wedding day to keep your guests entertained and amazed, then please don’t hesitate in choosing Kindred Magic.”

Julie H. - daughter’s wedding

“I can highly recommend Kindred Magic for all ages. He recently performed at my father’s 80th birthday party and kept us all entertained, including my two young nephews who were quite a challenge! We kept him waiting for over an hour whilst we finished our meal and he was wonderful about it, very patient. We all thoroughly enjoyed his magic, which worked well in our intimate private room in Manchester.”

Kathryn - 80th birthday party

“Kindred Magic made what was a pretty standard networking event into a really awesome evening. His ability to baffle us all with close-up magic really broke the ice and created a friendly atmosphere. Would highly recommend him for any type of event, and we will now be looking for excuses to invite him back.”

Jo S. - networking event

“Thank you to Kindred Magic for travelling down to entertain the guests at my mother’s 70th birthday party. He was absolutely great and there was some really great feedback about his impressive skills. Not only did he wow us with his amazing magic but he also entertained the children with the most brilliant balloon animals. Very personable, approachable and very funny.”
