James Silvester Ltd

As in my overall description, I work as a close up magician and love to amaze small bite sized groups of people (say between 3 and 10) with illusions right in front of their eyes. The two main types of events tend to be sit down dinners and stand up/mingling events.

During a sit down dinner, I can offer entertainment to your guests between courses and any down time that they may experience. That will involve walking around to each table, introducing myself and performing a few illusions. The same goes for stand up events for example drinks receptions and discos, walking around and getting as many smiles as possible. I carry everything that I require on my person and can turn up and work autonomously to allow you to have a stress free evening.

I do operate flexibly so I will make sure that I get around everyone given the amount of time that I am working for and the size of event. When working for longer events I do sometimes do multiple passes and break up the entertainment. Equally I do judge how people respond as some people appreciate magic more than others. If certain groups are not as in to it than others then that is completely OK and I will simply move on.

Magicians personas do tend to vary which is one of the main difference between us that you may want to consider. My personality has lead me to a 'polite' style of performance. By that I mean I always want people to feel at ease and I tend to stay away from the 'making a fool' out of a guest style performance. That being said, I do have a cheeky side and can have a bit of fun on request (such as getting your best man back for his speech!).

It would be great to discuss further with any questions that you have.

Magic enough said. To be more specific its the reaction of my audience. There is nothing more special than to have someone completely blown away by an illusion and to see childlike excitement in their eyes. To be completely honest, when you can detect a buzz around the room and when getting to a new group they are already super excited as they have heard such good things definitely makes me feel good and love the work that I do even more.

Magic is my passion and my hobby. What better way than to set up as a business and make some money? I get to learn and practice and play all at the same time and thoroughly enjoy myself. I have used my own name for my business as I want to offer a high quality service that I am proud of and make a name for myself.

I am not going to lie, there are some great magicians out there and it is sometimes difficult to know what to go with.
I hope that the above honest answers will lead me in a good light and click with the type of service that you are after. All I am going to say here is that you will get a magician who is so passionate about the art and will bend over backwards to make sure you are pleased with the service that you receive.
I am fairly new to bark but not new to magic. If in the off chance that I cannot accommodate your time and date, I can still give you some guidance and if requested refer you to someone who will keep you in safe hands.
