About

I split my time between performing magic and filmmaking.

As a magician perform everything from close-up and trade-show performances to large stage events, I perform magic and ‘mind-reading’ effects to many different audiences.

Bringing humour, storytelling, and a real sense of magic to each performance I do, I have a performance to suit many types of event.

Would definitely recommend Greg. He was incredible at our Funday, professional, prompt and organised. The children loved the magic and it seemed to be one of the highlights of the day, surprising even the adults amongst the crowd!

Utterly delighted. Greg is, by title, a magician. However, Greg is also an outstanding entertainer. In my opinion, for a Child's Birthday, entertainment trumps magic. Greg has them both, with wit and comedy. All rounder who is, for what its worth, a great bloke to boot. Thank you, Greg! More...

Greg, made all the arrangements in advance clearly explaining how he works and the kind of magic involved. The children at my party were over the moon with Greg’s magic. They couldn’t take their eyes off him especially some of the card, and hidden pea , tricks. The adults were even more transfixed. An excellent full,on show performed professionally with warmth and expertise that still,left us wondering how he did it!. Brilliant , will hire Greg again. More...

I cannot recommend Greg enough. He is simply phenomenal. He had the kids utterly transfixed for over an hour. He was funny, fast, confident, mystical, cunning. He was everything you'd expect from a mentalist. The kids found his "tricks" mind-blowing. We did as adults too. Greg Chapman unites an audience (and generations) though the medium of illusion and magic. Book him! More...

Greg held the attention of about 20 mostly 4 & 5 year olds with his varied array of ingenious tricks for at least 40 minutes, some for the full hour he came. .. incredible! They all found him very amusing too. My daughter (the birthday girl on this occasion) was very proud of herself for doing magic with a real magician, and is treasuring a special card Greg gave to her from one magic trick. Brilliant fun, for both kids and adults, highly recommend! More...

Greg chapman was a pleasure to have at our charity event - A winter ball. Greg entertained the guests for 1 hour , very witty and professional act.

5 November 2021

Greg was part of an event we held in our market town in Lincolnshire- Holbeach.

I have never met a more positive and hard working artist. An absolute pleasure to have as part of the day.

He even pulled out all the stops to still be part of the day, arranging alternative transport after having vehicle issues, yet still he didn’t let me down and after a long travel to us, was so hard working all day and constantly impressing the guests.

A true pleasure, and I would strongly recommend anyone booking him for one of their events. He continually entertains and makes people smile.

Look forward to working with Greg again.
Thank you so much- absolute star!

We hired Greg for an adults party on 18th September 2021. We were very disappointed with the performance. It contained little sparkling content and long drawn out descriptions of his magic. Many people in our group left the hour long show before the end. More...

Reply from Greg Chapman - Magician & Mentalist

I’m sorry you feel that way. Many people enjoy the storys I weave around the magic, as can be seen from all of my other reviews. I understand that not everyone enjoys the same style, and if you wanted a silent act or big stage illusionist this is never what I offer, or what I was asked for. I offer a stage show of visual magic and mentalism wrapped up in comedy dialogue and storytelling, and am sorry if this did not fit what you were looking for that night.

We hired Greg for our belated Year 6 leavers party. We had about 38 children aged 12-13 years. Greg was fantastic. He interacted brilliantly with the kids, who all enjoyed his tricks. The variety of tricks he performed was great and the way he involved the kids in his tricks was excellent. Greg was punctual and courteous to everyone. I would recommend Greg to anyone looking for a great magician for a party. More...

Greg is superb - so entertaining and a fantastic performer. We booked Greg for my mum's virtual 60th birthday, he sent her an envelop prior to the event which played an interactive part of a number of tricks he performed which really wowed us. He engaged with other members of my family also on the call too which was fantastic. I was really surprised with how well this performance / show worked in a virtual space. We had a blast, I highly recommend booking Greg for any of your events. More...

Greg was so much fun at my online charity night, can't recommend him enough! I've never booked/attended a show like this before and had no clue how it would work over zoom, but it was so fabulous!

Q&As

All of my life, but I have been performing professionally since 2005.

My shows involve a combination of magic and mentalism, with a fun presentation - although I couldn’t take you through a show on a ‘step by step’ basis as every show is different, and the style and effects differ drastically from that close up at a wedding or corporate environment to a large stage show. Plus, I try to tailor each show around the circumstances and audience, so that what you get is perfectly suited to your event.

Entertaining people! That is the drive for me, getting to see different people every day and to see their faces as I perform for them, and to adapt and change the shows for different spaces and audiences.

I spent seven years touring magic shows to schools in Italy to teach English, performing thousands of one-man magic shows in that time. The time cane when I wanted to take full control of my shows and my materials, and so back in 2010 I started up my own shows in the UK.

Experience and flexibility in performance, allowing me to make sure not only that the performance is entertaining, but also that it suits your needs!

Yes! For 2020 I moved to performing almost exclusively Virtual Shows, usually over Zoom, and enjoyed doing so so much that continue to offer them even after the pandemic is over.

One of my great joys with this is people who comment on the real sense of ‘togetherness’ the shows bring even at times when we can’t all be together in person.

Services

From an awards do to a cabaret night and everything in between, I can offer hosting services to keep things moving in a steady and entertaining fashion!

At the start of the pandemic I realised things would have to change for the duration, and so I have worked hard to create online performances for everyone from private groups to large scale online events!

Keep ‘live’ and interactive entertainment at your event, and keep people together, even when social distancing rules say we can’t for the safety of all with a virtual performance!

From close up to stage, and for events and audiences of all types!
