MagiciansEntertainersAbout Marcus Bailey Magician
I provide live, interactive close-up magic that engages guests with visual, up-close magic and moments of genuine surprise. My style is friendly, professional, and designed to break the ice, create laughter, and keep energy high throughout your event. Clients choose me because I’m reliable, experienced, and focused on making guests feel comfortable while creating unforgettable moments people genuinely talk about afterwards. I do offer magic workshops also.
Our Story
Your story
Magic has always fascinated me, but what truly inspires my work is people — laughter, connection, and shared moments.
I began performing close-up magic because I loved how it breaks the ice between strangers and creates genuine reactions in real time. Over the years, I naturally gravitated towards weddings, where those moments matter most. A wedding isn’t about tricks — it’s about atmosphere, timing, and making guests feel relaxed and included.
Today, my focus is helping couples remove awkward gaps from their day. While photos are being taken or rooms are being turned around, I step in to keep guests entertained, engaged, and smiling — so the day flows effortlessly.
My approach is simple: You’re not buying time — you’re buying problem removal, memories, laughter and amazing entertainment.

Experience
I’m a professional close-up magician with many years of experience performing at weddings, private events, and corporate celebrations across Hampshire and the South of England.
I specialise in wedding entertainment and have performed at hundreds of wedding days, working seamlessly around key moments such as the drinks reception, photographs, room turnarounds, and evening guest arrival. My style is relaxed, engaging, and non-intrusive — designed to enhance the atmosphere rather than interrupt it.
I’m proud to be a Regional Winner / National Finalist at The Wedding Industry Awards (TWIA) 2026, an accolade that begins with real client votes and is then judged by industry professionals, recognising outstanding service and consistency. I’m also fortunate to have over 100 five-star reviews from couples who consistently highlight the atmosphere, connection, and memories my magic creates.

Typical Clients
My typical clients are couples who want their event to feel relaxed, social, and memorable — without feeling staged or over-the-top.
They value quality, professionalism, and experiences that bring guests together naturally. Many are people who’ve attended an event where magic made a real difference and want that same atmosphere for their own day.
I’m most often booked for: • Weddings (especially drinks receptions and photo sessions) • Events where guests are entertained without interrupting the schedule • Venues and planners looking for a trusted, easy-to-work-with professional • Events where guests may not all know each other and need a natural ice-breaker
Most of my bookings come from personal recommendations, venue referrals, and couples who want one less thing to worry about on their wedding day.
