Booked for Corporate Function

Connor was a great addition to our event. Super personable and really easy to work with. He took the time to explain his plan for the evening, which was really helpful, and he was proactive in getting people involved and drawing a crowd. He made the most of his time with us and brought great energy to the event. Very skilled at what he does, and just a really great experience overall. Would definitely recommend!

My close-up magic is quite a handy thing to have at weddings to keep guests entertained during the drinks reception. Or to entertain visitors at trade shows, which is the perfect way to keep the crowd coming to your stand. Mix & mingle strolling magic for any event. Comedy-based, but very family-friendly. Much of the magic happens in the hands of the audience for fantastic engagement. I can perform amazing and fun magic in the palms of their hands, right under their noses.
