Chris Campos
Your London Close-Up Magician
With 10 years of professional performing experience, I specialise in delivering unforgettable close-up magic tailored to each event.
Unlike stage shows, close-up magic takes place right in front of your guests, using everyday objects such as cards, coins, and borrowed items.
​
I’ve performed at countless weddings, private parties, and corporate functions across London and beyond. My style combines classic sleight of hand with contemporary psychological magic, ensuring a performance that feels fresh, engaging, and completely unique to your occasion.
​
What sets me apart is not just the magic itself, but the ability to connect with people. I don’t just perform tricks. I create moments of laughter, astonishment, and pure joy.
​
Whether entertaining small groups at a drinks reception in London or mingling among tables during dinner, my goal is always the same: to make your event truly memorable.
What is Close-Up Magic?
Close-up magic, also known as walkaround magic, mix and mingle magic or strolling magic, is performed right under your guests’ noses. Unlike stage magic, there’s no distance between performer and audience. The magic happens in their hands, often with borrowed items.
​
It’s one of the most versatile forms of entertainment because it doesn’t require special staging, lighting, or equipment. I can seamlessly mingle with your guests during a drinks reception, walk between tables at a wedding breakfast, or entertain small groups at a party.
​
Close-up magic is a perfect fit for London events because it’s interactive, personal, and flexible. Whether your event is a black-tie corporate dinner or a relaxed birthday party, the magic adapts to the atmosphere and ensures every guest feels included.

There are three excellent opportunities to have a close-up magician entertain your guests with mind-blowing magic. Feel free to combine two sessions, for example, during reception drinks and around the tables, to make sure everyone gets a chance to witness the impossible!
Get in touch if you'd like me to present your event as a magical master of ceremonies or finish the evening with my 20-minute caberet show.
Why Choose Close-Up Magic?
Close-up magic is perfect for a variety of occasions — whether it’s a wedding, corporate event, private party, product launch, or dinner function. It doesn’t require a stage or elaborate setup. I move among your guests, performing for small groups at a time, making every individual feel part of something extraordinary.
​
What makes close-up magic so powerful is its proximity. Your guests won’t just watch a show, they’ll interact with it. They'll hold the cards, feel the coins, and witness the impossible unfold right in their own hands. Close-up magic is the kind of entertainment that breaks the ice, sparks conversation, and creates unforgettable memories.

Are you really a close-up magician? Like… a real one?
Yes! I am sorry to disappoint, I didn't go to Hogwarts, but I am a professional close-up magician. I’ve been performing sleight-of-hand and mind-reading magic for 10 years at weddings, parties, corporate events, and more. I wear suspiciously sharp suits, but no top hat.
What is close-up magic?
It’s magic that happens right in front of you, not on a stage or on TV. No smoke, no mirrors, no suspicious trapdoors. I walk around and perform for small groups at a time, using everyday objects like cards, coins, phones, and the occasional borrowed ring. Which I always give back...usually.
Will you embarrass anyone?
Only myself, and even then, artfully. I don’t pick on people, and I never make anyone feel awkward or uncomfortable. The goal is for everyone to feel like they’re part of something special, not like they accidentally walked into a magic roast.
Do you do kids' parties?
I specialise in close-up magic for grown-ups. My style is interactive, fast-paced, and geared toward weddings, parties, and professional events. If you're looking for balloon animals and dancing Elmo, some of my best friends would love to help.
How long do you perform?
That depends on your event, the number of guests, and how many people I can fool before someone demands I be burned at the stake. Typically, performances range from 1 to 3 hours of close-up magic. If you get in touch, I'll recommend a length to suit your timeline, venue, and level of magical appetite.
Do you need anything from us?
Just guests with eyes and a willingness to be amazed. I bring everything I need — including props, charm, and the occasional bad pun. I carry everything i need to perform in my pockets, so no need for a stage, microphones, or changing rooms.
How much do you charge for close-up magic?
My fees vary depending on location, event type, and how many rabbits I have to bring. Don’t worry, I offer competitive pricing for professional entertainment. I’ll happily provide a quote once I know a bit more about your event. No surprise fees. No "trick" pricing!
