Close up magician - Comedy and Tricks

So, you are looking to hire a table magician or close up magician (or you was looking for the ex-Chelsea football player with the same name and came here by accident) - professional magician Alan Hudson - Member of The Magic Circle in London, UK and performer at The Magic Castle in Hollwood, USA is a guy with stunning sleight of hand magic and also has the funnies to go with them. Not just tricks - who wants that anyway? Just buy a magic set and send a kid along if that's your bag. Alan performs wicked awesome magic for the masses (like at weddings, private parties, a dinner party, corporate events - you get the idea) There are hundreds of magicians for hire in the UK - please see this video to see why Alan is in the top 5 magicians in the world*

Table Magician For Hire

Not only is he one of the UK's most incredibly entertaining up close magicians for hire, he also performs his very funny stand up comedy cabaret act with mind reading and magic (perfect for adults - but not adult in the Chubby Brown sense! Good clean fun). Using members of the audience for a bit of audience participation, Alan performs comedy club style magic for everyone to enjoy at the same time. Performing pretty much anywhere and everywhere on earth (or on another planet if the money is good) - he's one of the busiest magicians currently to book in the UK.

And now a thoughts from the man himself....

"Hello. Me here. I wrote the rest of the site too but here I get to speak in first person for a bit. Right, you might have thought to hire a close up magician for 3 hours or more - but that's usually a mistake (I like the sound here from the computer from Family Fortunes) Trust me when I say less is definitely more. Having magic at your party or wedding is a bit like having a really nice Turkish Delight - great for a while but if you have too much it gets a bit sickly. Some magicians will come along for 3 hours (or even longer), but I genuinely believe this is a huge error and I would question the self awareness of any magician thinking that people will be entertained for that long with card tricks (there is only so many time and so many different ways to say "was this your card?". Usually 2 hours is enough for up to about 120 guests. If you're having a dinner and do have more than 120 guests you should think about hiring another close up magician as well to make sure no tables feel like they are unloved. Ask me to recommend or even book them in on your behalf - I know some real brilliant ones - I only book tip top table magicians who I know will do a fantastic job and have worked with them in the past so and I can 100% guarantee their excellence" Alan Hudson - Table Magician/Close up Magician

How Much are Magicians and other questions?

If you have any questions such as "When is the best time to add a touch of magic to our wedding?" or "I'm not sure on prices. How much do magicians cost to hire?" etc they are probably answered in the FAQ page - unless the question is very personal to you, like "what is my name?" then it's probably not.

Many people ask if Alan will come to them or work on weekends - the answer is of course yes (we get lots of stupid questions). He mainly performs in London, Central London, Greater London, Surrey, Hertfordshire, Kent and generally the South of England. However, I also go to Birmingham, Manchester and other places further in the North. As he's originally from the North (Hull to be exact), it's always nice to get back up there (for a short time only, obviously!).
