Mark is a multi award-winning Close Up and Stage entertainer who specialises in entertaining at a range of corporate and private events across the UK.

Hiring a Close Up Magician is sure to enhance your next party, wedding, corporate event, sporting event or trade show.

Mark Bowden's circle of magic will amaze and astound your guests with his close up skills right under their noses. This is not TV! There are no camera tricks. This is Close Up Sleight of hand at its very best.

Entertainment is performed at such close quarters, Mark is able to move freely amongst your guests to add amazement and amusement to a drinks reception as well as entertaining at tables during dinner. His amazing sleight of hand and entertaining style of delivery will be talked about long after the event has ended.

Mark is also one of the UK's leading Psychological mentalist magicians with his own stage theater and cabaret show.
The stage show is much more in-depth than close-up work and is aimed at events where a stage and sound system are available. Truly breathtaking, the audience is left brain numb trying to work out how predictions and the mind reading works. Every show can be bespoke with a large selection of creations to add in, or even branded for a specific company event. The audience add a lot to the show thus making each performance totally unique.

Once again Mark has amazed us all. Following his success at our sister Company's annual works party we re-booked him and were not disappointed. Mark was the talk of the night ! His skills as a close up magician are brilliant and I would thoroughly recommend him to others.

FAQs

  • Do you do open-air acts?

    As long as it's not raining, I'll perform anywhere.

  • How long is the act?

    For weddings I normally arrive in the afternoon and perform before the wedding meal, then again in the evening. Usually around 4-5 hours entertainment in total For corporate events, I arrive to entertain as guests arrive, then during the evening around the tables. Normally 3-4 hours For a stand-up show, I normally entertain at close up, before performing a show. The stand-up show can be anything from 30 mins to 1 and half hours.
