Close Up Magic for Christmas Parties
Close-up magic is perfect for a Christmas party because it doesn’t interrupt the event — it becomes part of it.
Darryl moves naturally between your guests, performing incredible magic just inches away. Cards, coins and borrowed objects become part of the performance, with the magic often happening in your guests’ own hands.
It’s interactive, sophisticated and a brilliant way to get people laughing and talking — particularly during a drinks reception or between courses at dinner.
Mix & Mingle Magic for Christmas parties
Perfect for a drinks reception or standing Christmas party, Darryl will mingle naturally from group to group, performing short bursts of astonishing magic.
There’s no stage and no need to stop the party. Guests experience sleight of hand, mind reading, pickpocketing and impossible moments right in front of them — often becoming part of the magic themselves.
It’s a brilliant icebreaker, particularly when colleagues, clients or guests don’t all know each other.
After Dinner Christmas Party Entertainment
Want to entertain everyone together? Darryl can perform an after-dinner magic and mind-reading show for the whole room.
Fast-moving, funny and highly interactive, the show combines magic, mind reading and audience participation, giving everyone a shared experience before the awards, speeches, DJ or dancing begins.
From an intimate private dining room to a Christmas party with hundreds of guests, the performance can be tailored to suit your audience, venue and schedule.

How much does a Christmas party magician cost?
The cost of hiring a Christmas party magician depends on several factors, including the date, location, number of guests, length of performance and type of entertainment you require.
Christmas is one of the busiest times of the year for professional magicians, particularly Thursday and Friday evenings in November and December.
Tell Darryl a little about your Christmas party and he’ll recommend the most suitable entertainment and provide a no-obligation quotation.
Where in London do you perform?
Darryl performs at Christmas parties throughout Central London, the City, Mayfair, Westminster, Soho, Covent Garden, Knightsbridge, Kensington, Canary Wharf and across Greater London.
He also performs throughout the UK and internationally, so if your Christmas party is outside London, just get in touch to check availability.
Mind Reading & Tech Magic
This isn’t just card magic.
Darryl’s Christmas party performances can include mind reading, psychological magic and cutting-edge Tech Magic using mobile phones.
Your guests might think of a name, a place or something seemingly impossible for Darryl to know — only for him to reveal exactly what they’re thinking.
Their own smartphones can even become part of the performance.
It’s contemporary, interactive and particularly effective with corporate audiences who think they’ve seen every magic trick before.
They haven’t.
Need Someone to Host Your Christmas Party Too?
Why book a magician and a separate host?
As well as providing the magic, Darryl can act as your Christmas party emcee and host, keeping the evening running smoothly while entertaining your guests along the way.
He can welcome everyone, introduce speakers, make announcements, host awards and keep the event on schedule.
And because your host is also a professional magician, those inevitable moments when something isn’t quite ready can suddenly become entertainment.
It’s particularly effective for corporate Christmas parties, company awards evenings and larger festive events where you want one experienced professional to connect everything together.
Christmas Party Magician FAQs
When is the best time to have a magician at a Christmas party?
The drinks reception is one of the best times because close-up magic immediately breaks the ice as guests arrive. Magic can also work extremely well between courses during dinner or as after-dinner entertainment for the whole room. For larger events, Darryl can combine several of these.
How long should a Christmas party magician perform?
It depends on your guest numbers and the format of your event. For many Christmas parties, around 90 minutes to two hours of close-up magic works extremely well, although Darryl can recommend the most appropriate performance time once he knows your guest numbers and schedule.
Can you perform at an office Christmas party?
Absolutely. Darryl performs at office parties and corporate Christmas events ranging from smaller celebrations to large company events with hundreds of guests. The magic can be adapted to suit your office, restaurant, hotel or event venue.
Can you personalise the magic for our company?
Yes. For corporate Christmas parties, Darryl can incorporate your company, product, branding or message into selected pieces of magic, creating something unique to your event.
How far in advance should we book?
Christmas is one of the busiest periods of the year for professional magicians, particularly Thursday and Friday evenings in November and December. If your date is fixed, it’s worth checking availability as early as possible.
