Andy Russell Magic

I’m Andy Russell, a professional close-up magician with over 30 years of experience creating unforgettable moments through magic. As a proud member of The Magic Circle, my mission is simple: to entertain, amaze, and connect people through interactive, high-impact magic that fits any occasion.

My company provides bespoke magical entertainment for weddings, private parties, corporate events, garden gatherings, charity fundraisers, bars, restaurants, and hotels across the UK.

Whether you’re planning an elegant wedding in Scarborough, a relaxed birthday BBQ in your garden, or a busy evening at a local bar, I bring a warm, engaging performance style that’s always tailored to your guests and your event.

My services include walkaround magic, table-to-table performances, and parlour-style sets, using a blend of sleight-of-hand, visual illusions, rope magic, coin tricks, card miracles, and mind reading. I mingle seamlessly with your guests—no stage, no setup—just pure, close-up wonder. Weddings often include magical moments during the drinks reception or wedding breakfast, while parties benefit from high-energy, laugh-filled routines that break the ice and bring people together.

For venues such as bars, restaurants, and hotels, I provide regular or one-off performances that boost atmosphere and customer experience. I also proudly support charity events with discounted or donated performances where possible. Every booking includes professionalism, reliability, and entertainment that people of all ages will remember.

At weddings, I perform elegant and interactive close-up magic using cards, coins, ropes, and mind reading—mingling naturally with guests during the drinks reception, wedding breakfast, or photo sessions. It’s the perfect icebreaker that adds laughter, amazement, and unforgettable moments to your special day.

I regularly perform for a wide range of events, including:
• Weddings – civil ceremonies, traditional receptions, and alternative celebrations
• Private Parties – birthdays, anniversaries, house and garden gatherings
• Corporate Events – team-building days, award nights, and seasonal functions
• Charity Fundraisers – community events and ticketed galas
• Hospitality Venues – bars, restaurants, and hotels across the UK

From intimate gatherings to large-scale events, I bring professional, engaging magic that leaves guests talking long after the event ends.
