That extra touch of Magic

Your event is already shaping up to be amazing—but what if you could make it unforgettable?

With close-up magic by Richard John - Magician, you're not just entertaining your guests… you're blowing their minds.

Richard doesn’t just perform tricks—he creates magical moments people will be talking about for years. Seriously.

As a proud member of The Magic Circle, Richard brings the real deal: jaw-dropping, gasp-worthy, how-did-he-just-do-that magic.

And here’s the kicker—if your guests aren’t left in awe, you get your money back. (But don’t hold your breath… it’s never happened.)

After nearly 20 years of wowing crowds, Richard’s magic is anything but your average rabbit-out-of-a-hat stuff.

No cheesy lines. No awkward props. No nonsense. Just pure, high-impact, visual close-up magic that hits hard and sticks with you.

We're talking mind-reading that'll make you question reality, sleight of hand so smooth it'll melt your brain, and even a little sleight of mouth (yep—you’ll see what we mean).

Add in some mind-bending tech wizardry, and you've got magic made for the modern world.

Richard glides effortlessly from group to group—whether at tables or mingling in a more relaxed setting—leaving a trail of wide eyes, dropped jaws, and plenty of "WTF just happened?!" moments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

I have performed for the cast of the TV show MadMen at my residency at The London Cabaret Club. I have also been called up this year to perform for the celebs and stars at The Royal Variety after party event!


What's your favourite type of event?

Close up, mix and mingle magic! I love it.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

With 20 years experience, I’ve seen almost every type of gig scenario. Nothing phases me.
My first gig was at a comedy club, Komdedia, in Bath, and oh it was daunting, but it went so well, they had me back again and again and again and again (and a few more agains, but I feel like you got the point lol)


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

The magicians I love are not in the public eye. They create magic, the magicians behind the tv magicians… but famous magic folk, Penn and Teller! Just brilliant

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

Zero set up.
I can perform from 60mins of close up magic to being there all day to entertain. Most popular is 1.5-2hours


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes! As long as it’s not raining. Lol


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

Yes! If you have a specific trick in mind, let me know, we can personalise it and make it work! :)


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Funny, confident, charming and slightly unusual. Some of the best close up magic you’ll ever see.


Are you going to blow our guests minds?

Absolutely! And that’s a money back guarantee! If there are no wow moments, not laughs or no one scratching their heads thinking “how the hell is that done?”, then you get your money back!! (This has NEVER happened though )
