Close Up Magician

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

With the use of cards, coins, sponge balls, paper napkins, elastic bands, mind-reading and personal objects from the spectator Stuart will guarantee to leave a lifetime impression on your family, friends and clientele.

The show is completely compact with tricks and miracles performed from the pockets enabling Stuart to perform and amaze people at all Social or Corporate functions indoors or outdoors, including special children’s effects and balloon models which keep the little ones amused during the event.

Stuart will perform at any stage of your itinerary during your Wedding, The Photo Sessions, this works well as guests are normally sitting/standing around getting hungrier by the minute! Stuart will break the ice and help pass away those few hours. The Wedding Breakfast, how about a few miracles during courses for the guests to join in with or the evenings entertainment, quite often your room is set up ready for the evenings programme so a little magic during the extra drinking session normally whips the guests up into a magical frenzy! Stuart has vast experience in both performing at weddings and advising as to where the magic will work best within your day. In the past he has been hired to perform at many weddings including the wedding of Welsh football player Craig Bellamy

David Bonsall

International close up magician

Magical Entertainers can be supplied for any eventMagic is not just for children it is ideal for corporate events and parties such as weddings as well

 

David has been a keen disciple of the art of magic since a magician first pulled a coin from behind his ear at the tender age of ten.

Throughout his teens, he continued to develop his interest in magic, finding it not only a useful tool to meet new friends, but also to keep the school bullies on his side!

In his late teens, seeking travel and adventure, David decided join the Royal Marines, and spent thirteen years travelling the world and using his magician skills to wow and entertain his fellow servicemen at every possible opportunity. His antics were often a welcome relief, lifting the spirits of his men when times got tough. David also enjoyed a brief spell of fame when he competed several times for his country at Decathlon, with the Royal Marines sponsoring him to train full time. He narrowly missed an opportunity to attend the 2000 Sydney Olympics.

Eventually the pull of magic and the thrill of performing was just too strong. David had a burning desire to entertain and in 2000 decided to leave the Royal Marines to pursue his dream of becoming a professional magician.

Utilising the discipline he learned from the Royal Marines and his training background from athletics, David worked for many years to perfect his act and is now one of the busiest working professionals in the country. His modern and humorous approach to the art of close up magic has made him one of the most sought after close up magicians in the business. He is often the entertainer of choice by many of the world’s largest blue chip corporations, celebrities and politicians.

In the summer of 2006 he was invited to perform in the presence of HM the Queen at Buckingham Palace as part of her 80th birthday celebrations and he performs regularly at venues such as The House of Lords, Inner Temple, The Royal Horseguards and many of London’s top hotels and nightspots. Recent client commissions have included Price Waterhouse Cooper, Lastminute.com, The London 2012 Olympic Committee, BAE Systems, O2, Porsche and Audi and many more.

David is also a qualified television presenter and regularly discusses magic and pick-pocketing on national and international television and radio. He’s had a starring role as a magician in an international television advertising campaign and has recently appeared on the BBC’s Question of Sport and on Sky’s Ryder Cup coverage.

David is a member of the prestigious Magic Circle and in 2006 was promoted to an Associate Member of the Inner Magic Circle (AIMC) with a Silver Star for performance, the highest award obtainable within The Magic Circle by examination. He is also a member of The International Brotherhood of Magicians, Equity and was a former President of the Portsmouth and District Magic Circle. David has won numerous competitions and awards for his performances and creativity within magic and is currently training for a magic related world record.

Don’t expect wiggling hips, pulling hankies from a bag accompanied by corny rhyming patter! Modern close up magic is a mini, moving theatrical performance, performed at your fingertips. I am a member of the Magic Circle and I have spent many years practicing and performing to many different audiences, refining my sleight of hand skills.

How will it help?

From the outset. Set off the party with a bang! I will mix and mingle with the guests during reception. My experience allows me to judge the right time to start after people have settled in and said their “hello’s.” Performing memorable magic in their hands, Really close up magic!
