Comic Con Close-up Magic!

So I generally get booked as a wedding magician, walking around mingling with guests and keeping them entertained throughout the wedding day and evening. I love it! I enjoy the atmosphere of a wedding and visiting all the lovely venues people get Married in.


However, it is nice to perform close up magic at different types of events and last weekend I attended my second Comic Con organised by Savage Beast Events.


When I first got booked to entertain at a Comic Con I was unsure how well it would work. But I shouldn’t have worried at all, everyone who attends these conventions are there to have a good time and they all loved seeing some ‘street’ style Magic close up.


There is a variety of ages who attend and most people dress up as their favourite character. It makes for a really interesting event, one minute I’m performing for the Spider-Man and Batman and the next minute it’s Harley Quinn and The Joker!


I love witnessing people who are truly passionate about something, the effort these guys put into the details of their costumes is incredible.


When I set out as a Close-up Magician I never thought I would perform at such a variety of different events. But that is the beauty of Close-up magic, it is so versatile, all you need is a group of people.


Hopefully I will be invited to more Comic Cons in the future and might even dress up myself, I’m told that Gambit from the X-Men would be a good character as he is supposed to be an expert at card throwing.


Take a look at the video below of me at Keighley Comic Con in March 2018 where I am performing one of my newest routines to possibly the cutest Hulk in the world!
