Darren McQuade is a full time professional magician, having performed all over the UK, astonishing thousands of people along the way. He performs close-up and one stage, with his magic being perfect for all ages and events.

What is closed-up magic?

Forget stages, trap doors and mirrors, this is magic right in your face, up close and personal. Cards change in your very own hand, objects float and things vanish then reappear right before your eyes!

 

Close-up magic has become incredibly popular over the last few years. Magic has been the subject of several big Hollywood Blockbusters and TV magicians like David Blaine and Dynamo have restored magic as one of the top forms of live entertainment around. Close-up magic is a great versatile form of entertainment, perfect for fitting into any event you have planned, wether it's a wedding, birthday or corporate event.

 

Darren will walk around from table to table, group to group, mingling with and performing for all of your guests making sure everyone is entertained. His magic is loved by children and adults of all ages and will be the talking point of the day. Since Darren performs for small groups at a time, it doesn't interfere with the whole occasion like a singer or other stage act would.

 

So how would it fit into your special event? In the case of a wedding there can be several uses for Darren's services. Perhaps a great way of keeping your guests entertained whilst the photos are being taken. You could have him perform table to table during the dinner or evening reception. Maybe even mix it up a bit and have him during both, it can act as a good transition between the two.

Organising a corporate event? Darren can keep all your clients entertained and even help with the promotion of your brand through the art of magic!

 

Of course these are just some examples and it will fit into any event. Be sure to contact Darren today to find out how!
