Ben Newman is a modern close-up magician based in Birmingham, UK, who brings impossible magic, mind-reading and a healthy amount of mischief directly to your guests. Ben has spent 10+ years mastering the craft of sleight of hand, turning weddings, parties, corporate events and luxury celebrations all over the UK, into nights people actually remember. His style is slick, funny, relaxed and seriously interactive. No top hats. No awkward stage patter. Just brilliant close-up magic, sharp humour and completely impossible moments happening in your guests own hands. Ben will mingle through the room, break the ice, get people laughing and give them something far more interesting to talk about than the weather. Whether it’s drinks reception magic, entertainment between courses, a corporate event or a private party, I make sure the magic feels like part of the experience… not an interruption to it. The result? Big reactions. Lots of laughs. A few genuinely confused faces. And stories your guests will still be telling afterwards.
