Colin from My Its Magic made our Young Carers Action Day extra special! He performed amazing close-up magic for our group of 11-18 year old carers. He was brilliant at getting everyone involved, and the kids loved being part of the tricks. Colin's magic was incredible, and he had everyone laughing with his funny jokes. He was so friendly and fit right in with our group. We'd absolutely love to have him back! Thanks so much, Colin! More...

We had Colin for my moms 80th birthday meal. He was a surprise for all the guests. Just a small gathering,18 of us. From the start of first contact Colin provided an excellent service. I trusted him from the start and felt very comfortable chatting to him about what I would like and how the evening would go. He truly is very professional, friendly,so easy to talk to,felt like I'd known him years. The night of the birthday meal Colin arrived and he was very discreet and at the right time his show started. Our guests were totally engaged,mesmerised by Colins tricks. We all loved every minute. He got some of the guests involved with his tricks. He is a master at what he does,freely chatting all the time with us and us asking him questions. Would definitely recommend 1000000%. So pleased we chose a magician for our surprise entertainment and so so pleased it was Colin. He made a special evening even more special. Can't thank him enough. More...

His tricks are absolutely mind blowing and it's wonderful to see and hear the smiles and laughs from the tables.

I booked Colin for my sister’s ‘small’ 50th; it turned into a bigger party than expected but Colin accommodated every demand… even when he had to rearrange the timing of his show due to a delay in food. He was amazing! He catered for ages 11-70 in a professional and personable manner and kept in contact from the moment of booking to the day itself. I couldn’t have wished for a better magician! Even my dad was impressed and my cousin in law even won £5! Amazing. Thank you Colin!

Colin’s magic was the absolute hit of the ‘big’ birthday party, and he had all 100 partygoers, young and old, in the palm of his hand. You could tell where he was in the room from the applause he got from each new audience, leaving them baffled and bemused - but very happy - as they eventually and reluctantly allowed him to move on.
“How on earth did he do that?” was the phrase of the night.
Not only is Colin a superb master of his craft, he’s an exceptionally warm and lovely gentleman, something else that was frequently commented on.
I cannot recommend him highly enough, he made a great night, well, just magical!

Colin is the very best choice for your event. Nothing is too much trouble he is friendly enigmatic and the customers love him. He’s always well prepared on time and happy to adapt to any situation. He makes such an effort to ensure everyone is visited and will also muck in with the venue in-between making himself part of the team. We’ve used Colin for years from our Christmas cabarets to our birthday gala events to the older generations lunches. Whatever your occasion Colin is impeccably dressed and naturally loved by all. His magic is fantastic fun and baffles me ! More...

Q&As

I have been performing magic for the past 9 years and really do enjoy entertaining guests at parties and wedding all year round.

I am very much a Close-Up magician working with small to large groups (standing or sitting) at the Bar or table between food courses.

Its just great fun watching peoples faces as the magic happens in their hands. They will always remember what a great party or wedding when a magician has performed his skills.

Just love performing - it’s taken a longtime to master the skills needed but l'am always learning and pushing to improve my art.

I put my heart and sole into every client that books me. I push myself to ensure everyone where possible enjoys the magic that l perform.

No. Close-up Magic needs to be in person to get the full effect of the magic art
