Close-up Magician | Cabaret Magician

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for yesterday. I have had such tremendous feedback about the on-stage show but very specifically about you. Everyone was incredibly impressed by your show, your wit and your presence.

You were truly incredible – way better than just a positive impact – fantastic!

"We have been lucky enough to have some top flight magicians visit Eton over the years, but none of them managed to cause quite the stir that you did. I have never witnessed a standing ovation for any visiting speaker - your achievement was really quite something!"

Tim Eddis - Eton College

Peter Wardell was excellent at our equality and diversity conference; his assured combination of magic and humour was linked clearly to the subjects we were considering. His contribution set the tone for an excellent day, being both thought provoking and entertaining”

Pete Wardell is a master at capturing people’s imagination and inspiring them to do something amazing within their businesses. Guaranteed to make you laugh, take your breath away and really get you thinking…

Peter Czapp - The WOW Company

“It’s rare that I can sit still long enough to listen to another speaker. The problem with Pete is, he’s entertaining, incisive, and genuinely inspirational so I have to stay put. If you put a pinch of what he recommends into your next event you’ll improve it immeasurably. He’s fantastic at what he does.”

Simon Burton, Exposure Event Creations

I recently had the pleasure of seeing one of Peter Wardell’s corporate performances. I found the performance absolutely captivating, while at the same time delivering a powerful corporate message. Peter clearly is a master of his craft.

I very, very rarely book a speaker more than once for The Session. Pete Wardell is the exception: he has given two excellent talks and I look forward to welcoming him back again soon.

Andi Gladwin, The Session organiser

My personal belief is that no matter who one has in the audience and whatever the size of audience – from a handful to a few hundred - Peter Wardell is THE showman, THE magician, THE motivator and THE ultimate performer for any event. Don’t even hesitate – book him!

"Wardell is the only magician in the history of the Magic Circle to win both the Stage Magician of the Year and the Close up Magician of the Year awards, and it's relatively easy to understand why."

The Stage - April 2013

If you are looking to book an amazing magician for your event then you can be sure that I will do an excellent job. I'll entertain your guests with world class magic so that you can relax knowing everyone is going to have a great time.
You're guests will be happy you booked me and and that means you will be too.

Close-up Magic

Called Table Magic by some or Close-hand Magic by others, the correct term for magic that is performed to small groups of people right under their noses is close-up magic.
This kind of magic is often performed with the magician roving around a drinks reception or gala dinner performing sleight of hand magic, mind reading or even picking pockets. I prefer however to present a more formal style of close up magic from behind a table as this really is the best way for your guests to experience the very best magic.

Stage Magic

Not to be confused with Illusions, stage magic or Parlour magic is ideal for an after dinner cabaret for groups of almost any size. For smaller groups this is often the best way to see amazing magic, and can include mentalism or mind reading, comedy magic and pickpocket magic. I'm recognised as one of the countries leading magicians in this particular style of magic.
