Matt Barber MMC - Close-Up Magician (10)
I started practicing magic at the age of 14. More than 10 years of practice later, I started to share my performances with a wide variety of audiences. My specialism is close-up effects. Being able to see magic performed right in front of one's eyes is a unique experience not usually forgotten quickly.

I have received positive feedback on Matt's performance following his attendance at our recent bowling summer party. I didn't go to the party myself but everyone said he was awsome.

How long have you been interested in magic?
I have been practicing magic since I was 12 years old when I saw a close-up magician at a local event. In recent years, this has evolved from a hobby into a profession.
Take us through your show – what can we expect?
I am a close-up magician. My magic takes a mix-and-mingle form where I walk among the guests, either standing or at tables depending on the event and perform intimately with them. As for the type of magic, I am a sleight-of-hand specialist with card magic at the heart of what I do. Recently, I have begun to incorporate mentalism and mind reading into my shows and I also perform a number of other types of close-up magic to ensure a good variety during my performances.
What do you love most about your job?
Being able to share my hobby is an absolute privilege. The best moments in my shows are the reactions I get from my spectators, watching them switch between confused and amazed gives me and my audience a real buzz.
Why should our clients choose you?
When you choose me for your event, you can expect a show which will be tailored to you. If you would like to discuss the day in detail and allow me to personalize things for you, great! If you would rather let me work out a plan myself and take the planning out of your hands, this is absolutely fine as well!
This is your event, not mine so I will work around you and what you need and want.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
I can offer a video call to discuss events in more detail and perform a little bit of magic to give potential clients an idea of what they can expect on the day but my main performances are all in person.
