availability

 As
Christopher
is sometimes already
booked when clients ring him to be the close-up
magician or UK Illusionist
at their event or trade show. In which case, he can help supply you
with other excellent close up magicians or UK Illusionists.
Also,
if you have an event with more than
100 guests depending on your needs it’s sometimes advisable
to
have more than one magician
working with Christopher or even a team of magicians. All such
situations can be catered for, whatever your
“magic needs”.

Booked Christopher as Corporate Magician

"Christopher
worked with us at
the British Insurance Brokers Association (BIBA) Conference and
Exhibition 2009. We decided to use Christopher as we felt that his
style of magic was personal and engaging; he has a natural charisma and
charm. We were drawn to him as he intuitively understood why we wanted
to use him. He was quickly able to link in key product messages and the
benefits of CNA Europe into his magic, which he delivered with grace
and a high degree of fun. He never tried too hard to force the messages
but delivered them tongue- in-cheek that made the clients laugh and
enjoy it for what it was! He worked very hard and his magic wowed the
audience; I am still not sure how he does the tricks, they were
baffling and brilliant. I hope that we get the chance to work together
again.”
-J.
Bray,
Marketing
Manager, CNA Europe
Commenting on Christopher’s work with them as a Trade Show
Magician

“A
huge
thank you for making our wedding so very special, you are a fantastic
entertainer. We loved the way you mingled with the guests but was also
very discreet and professional. Your tricks are amazing and you were
enjoed by all. Initailly I wasn't sure whether it would be 'cheesy' but
as I said your magic is pure class and very sophisticated. I know that
a few brides-to-be at our wedding are very keen to hire you and I would
recommend anyone organising a special event to have you perform.
Absolutely brilliant- thanks so much.”
-E. Intavarant
Commenting on Christopher’s close-up magician performances as
their Wedding Magician

"I
recently booked Christopher to perform his close
up
magic at our business party and everyone was blown away.
We’ve had magicians before but Christopher was a cut above,
both
in the quality and execution of his tricks as well as the rapport that
he built with the guests. He got everyone involved in what he
was
doing but without ever being overbearing. Everyone was
suitably
impressed and I would not hesitate to book him again."

Stanbury
