Magic that happens on a stage or on TV can be impressive, but when it happens
before your very eyes it is truly astounding! No smoke or mirrors, it's just
right there in front of you!
Close up magic is exactly what it says it is, and having a magician performing right under their noses - instead of on a TV screen - is an experience that guests don't forget quickly. A top class magician will provide an experience that guests will remember for a long time to come.
Larger audiences can be predictable in their reactions, whilst an individual may react unexpectedly. John Mosedale has the skill and experience to manage such situations, and is adaptable enough to be able to slot easily into your programme of events without the need to change it.
Close up magic can be the ideal 'glue' that holds a varied programme of events together. Whether it's breaking the ice, providing continuity to the programme and entertaining guests during a 'dead spot', or just while they're waiting for the meal to arrive, don't underestimate the benefits that John can bring to your event.
Magic at a drinks reception, or at a party where guests are free to mingle
for the entire evening, is extremely flexible. No tables or dedicated performing
area are required, John simply moves among your guests performing to individuals
and small groups, creating stunning magic that happens 'in the hands' -
sometimes, the spectators hands!. This can be an ideal ice breaker and conversation
starter, and can set a relaxed and enjoyable mood for the rest of the evening.
Those who arrive as strangers will leave as friends.
A table magician can be a great way of breaking the ice at a table and getting the conversation going. John moves from table to table giving a short performance at each, between the courses of a meal. This performance is always at the table and not on it, and never takes place whilst guests are actually eating; no one wants to be asked to pick a card when they have a mouthful! The close contact and friendly participation guarantees that the magic will be well received and long remembered by those who encounter it, because every performance is, in effect, a personal performance.
