Highly recommend Clive. He was extremely helpful and easy to work with from the start and performed great on the evening of our event. Excellent at captivating a crowd, he was a really fun surprise for our office christmas party and we do not understand the tricks he showed (which I guess is the whole point) Thanks Clive!! More...

I booked Clive for a corporate family day (200+ people).
The crowd was a mix of children of all ages and adults, and Clive skillfully managed to entertain everyone, first the children with a fantastic show, and then the grown-ups with mind-blowing close up magic.
Everyone was very impressed! Great performance!

Clive was mind-blowingly brilliant at our engagement party. He really brought groups of people together and took time with each group.
Guests are still talking about how much they loved the magic!
I personally loved how Clive made magic fun by injecting comedy into each performance.
Very professional, excellent communication, and will definitely book again! Thank you Clive. All the best, Ellie and Ryan

Fantastic grown-up entertainment! We arranged for Clive to entertain us at my wife's 60th Birthday lunch in July 2023. Whilst the lunch and venue were excellent, it was made all the more special by Clive who greeted our party with 'close up' magic which continued between courses. After the meal (during coffee etc) Clive went on to perform a show which included several of our guests. I wont spoil you with explaining all he did (as he may perform a similar act for you). All I can say is he had everyone in stiches! Absolutely brilliant! Well worth the money. If you are having any kind of an adult party and you really want your guests to have some fun and enjoy it, then look no further... book Clive! More...

Clive did his magic at my son’s 40th Birthday. He had everyone just wondering how did he do that?
He was very professional but at the same time charming and witty.
I would definitely recommend him to make any party a success.

Clive was really friendly and flexible with booking him in. He gave us a competitive rate and was fair. Once at the venue, he got right into it and was doing close up magic for everyone. Many people loved it and were amazed by everything, but also enjoyed the jokes and improvisation from Clive. More...

Used Clive five years ago for a significant birthday in a formal setting. This time for about 25 people on my home. So spread between lounge , bar area and garden.
I just left Clive to do his thing. Cleverly shows a trick to one person but manages to involve the whole room. Really close up and seemingly impossible magic.
Had a serious doubter, but even he was won over.
Totally professional totally magic.

After some informed research we chose our event entertainment to be taken care of by Clive the fun magician of Grown Up Magic.
We went for the full package of Drinks Reception, Dinner, and After Dinner entertainment; and were treated to Close Up Magic, Stage show including Comedy Stand Up.
Clive enabled our event to go smoothly with lots of amazement, fun and laughter.
Highly recommended!

We booked Grown-up Magic for a small multi generational family party and could not have been more pleased. Clive is a superb magician taking time during the booking to gain a good understanding of our event. He arrived promptly on the day and wowed everyone, getting young and old involved throughout. Guests were trying to fathom out what they had seen long after the show. We would have no hesitation in recommending Grown-up Magic. More...

Clive provided sparkling entertainment to enhance our 40th wedding anniversary celebrations. We had lots of appreciative comments from our many guests - who ranged from over 90 years old to under 4 - whom he amused, amazed and delighted. Clive fitted in well with all-comers, intriguing intellectuals and making children giggle. He was a pleasure to work with - a delight to have him. More...
Tim Page
We hired Clive for a garden party with several friends and family, to ensure there was something memorable for guests of all ages.
From the outset, Clive engaged everyone, from small 1:1 tricks, to others with an audience, and then on to a children’s show.
Everyone was utterly blown away by how it was possible to make some of what he did happen.
Excellent value for money, thoroughly entertaining and I’d wholeheartedly recommend to all…..

Clive made our celebration into a Magical Celebration. He brought together so many guests who'd never met and gave them unforgettable moments, at the same time never obtrusive.

A great evening was made even more special by the incredible magic of Clive. Everyone was scratching their heads in bewilderment at the various tricks with cards and coins.
The finale of the show involving a man with a saucepan on his head waving a sausage was absolutely hilarious.
You definitely won’t be disappointed if you book Clive.

I was amazed by the magic of Clive Hyams. I was very fortunate to see him very close up and marvelled at his routine. I have no hesitation in recommending him for not only his magic but also his witty chatter.
George Marshall
Utterly brilliant. The magic was mind-blowing and defied all logical explanation how each trick was performed. A performance that will not be forgotten for a long time to come.
How long have you been interested in magic?
Clive started performing magic aged 8 years old, the bug bit him hard and he still loves performing. He turned professional in 1981 and for the next 30 years was working flat out, performing at more than six shows (on average) every week. One December he performed at 89 different events.
In 2011 he semi-retired and now performs at only a handful of shows each month. He says "less is more" because he really looks forward to the days he is working and his more relaxed style allows him to be more generous with his time.
Take us through your show – what can we expect?
This is harder to answer because it is not what Clive does that's important but what the client receives that is the truth. Sounds strange I know, but he has a wealth of material and stacks of ideas, so let's talk about what you would like, we will help you choose and let's do what is right for your special party, your guests and most importantly YOU.
What do you love most about your job?
The audience reaction. Clive loves the laughter and the looks of total disbelief whenever he is working. It is like a drug to his audience, the more they see the more they want more. The phrase he hears the most is "What are you going to do next?" The answer is cards, coins, money, rope, rings and just about anything else that happens to be around. He even performs one great effect with a mouse trap. He says he would swap 10 good tricks for one good joke, in short, it's the entertainment that's important. However, his magic is very, very strong too.
What inspired you to start your own business?
To better be able to serve our client's the way the should be served. Clive instilled a policy which he calls 'Best Friend' treat EVERYONE, client's, suppliers and staff as your very very very best friend. This allows us to go the extra mile to make sure the client has the result we agreed and promised and importantly they want, and then do that little bit more.
He started his own business as this allows him to set the rules, as customer service is important to him and sadly lacking in almost every business in this country. Only when you spend a lot of time in the USA do you find out what customer-service should be like and that's what we do here.
Why should our clients choose you?
Five reasons Clive is the right magical entertainer for your party...
1. Clive was promoted to Member of The Inner Magic Circle with Gold Star, in January 2012 this is TMC's highest degree and reserved for a maximum of 300 magician's in the world. If your magician holds this degree you are assured to be booking one of the very best. Clive's silky smooth skills and fun personality means everyone loves him.
2. Clive has secured a great deal of business through BARK, roughly half of those clients have been kind enough to write a review. Almost 100% of those reviews gave Clive 5 stars out of 5. With that proven track record you know you are booking someone who will deliver.
3. Clive is much more interested in the result he delivers to his clients than he is about time, money or the effort required. So you know you are booking someone who is totally focused on doing the best possible job for you.
4. He looks the part. His bright red tailor-made suit means your magician stands out in a crowd.
5. I believe Clive is the only magician to offer a comprehensive guarantee, so YOU must agree he is great or he is free of charge, here's what we put on our website...
It is important to us that you have a truly great time on your special day, so we insist on giving you this 100% guarantee…
If for any reason whatsoever, (or even no reason at all) you are not absolutely ecstatically pleased with everything we do for you, if you do not agree that Clive is the most entertaining magician you have ever seen, that the feedback from all your guests is numerous, enthusiastic and very positive, that his children’s show (if that is part of his performance for you) has them sitting boggle-eyed and laughing all the way through.
That his Close Up “Mix ‘N Mingle” magic has all your guests engaged and talking, that his table magic is fun and of a very high standard just as you would expect from a magician who is six times Surrey Close-Up magic champion.
That our staff are friendly, approachable and helpful, and everything goes to your complete satisfaction, then simply tell Clive on the day and he will cancel your bill and you will not owe us a penny.
Simply put you must be 100% off the scale happy with EVERYTHING Clive does for you or he will tear up the contract and you will owe us nothing.
There will be no questions or hard feelings either.
This is your guarantee that everything will go just as you want it to and you have a truly fantastic time on your special party day.
-----------------------------------
I urge you to book as soon as you are 100% sure Clive is right for you. The date you are thinking about today and will book tomorrow might be the date someone else was thinking about yesterday and is booking today.
Magic for all ages from 3 to 105. He says he will take on older than 105 but only if accompanied by their parents to look after them!
Close Up Magic for receptions, tables after the meal.
Cabaret Magic - Clive's comedy stand up show can be any length from 15 minutes to 45 minutes.
