3 Close Up Magic Options For Corporate and Private Parties

1. Walkaround Cocktail Magic 🥂

Best for:

• ✅ Cocktail hours

• ✅ Wedding receptions

• ✅ Networking events

• ✅ Casual parties

  
  

This is the most flexible and casual type of close-up magic. During a cocktail-style event, guests typically stand, mingle, hold drinks, and enjoy canapés. I move through the space, performing short sets of magic for small groups gathered around.

🪄 The magic happens right in their hands — think card tricks, mind reading, vanishes, and visual surprises — all designed to amaze and get people talking.

🎉 It’s perfect for breaking the ice, especially when guests don’t know each other. It adds energy, laughter, and wonder to the room without interrupting the flow of the event.

2. Walkaround Table Magic 🍽️

Best for:

• ✅ Seated dinners

• ✅ Banquets

• ✅ Wedding receptions with assigned seating

• ✅ Corporate gala dinners

  
  

During table magic, I visit each table while guests are seated, performing a mini-show tailored for their group. This style is ideal when guests are in between courses or waiting for food to be served.

🔮 Each table gets its own VIP experience, with magic customized to fit the vibe — whether it’s elegant, fun, or interactive. I stand while guests remain seated, so the show is smooth and non-disruptive.

🎩 This style creates a sense of personal connection while ensuring everyone enjoys the magic.

3. Close-Up Formal Show 🎭

Best for:

• ✅ Intimate dinner parties

• ✅ Private events with small groups

• ✅ Magic-themed nights

• ✅ Corporate VIP experiences

  
  

In a close-up formal show, everyone gathers around a central table or space while I perform a structured 15–30 minute show. It's designed to be intimate, interactive, and mind-blowing.

💡 Imagine a mini theatre experience, but up close — every sleight of hand happens just inches away, with no stage, smoke, or mirrors.

This style is perfect for events where you want the magic to be the main attraction — a talking point that people will remember for years.

So, Which Close-Up Magic Style is Right for Your Event?

Magic Style	Guests Standing or Seated	Best For	Setup Needed
Walkaround Cocktail	Standing	Casual mingling, cocktails, receptions, parties	None
Walkaround Table Magic	Seated	Dinners, banquets, weddings, functions	None
Close-Up Formal Show	Everyone seated (incl. me, most of the time)	Intimate events, focused entertainment	Small table or seating area

Can You Mix Close-Up Magic Styles? Absolutely! 🔄

Many events aren’t limited to just one format — your magic entertainment doesn’t have to be either. In fact, combining different styles of close-up magic can elevate your event from memorable to absolutely unforgettable.

Imagine this:

• 🥂 Cocktail Hour: Guests mingle with drinks, and I weave through the crowd performing walkaround cocktail magic to break the ice.

• 🍽️ Seated Dinner: As guests settle in, I switch to table magic, visiting each table between courses to keep the energy high and the conversation flowing.

  
  

💫 This flexible approach means your guests will enjoy seamless entertainment throughout the entire event. It will be tailored to the vibe and format at every stage.

Whether it's a wedding with both a canapé reception and sit-down meal, or a corporate event transitioning from casual networking to formal dining — I adapt the magic to fit every moment.
