CHRISTMAS PARTY MAGICIAN YORKSHIRE
Christmas Party Magician Yorkshire
Give your Christmas party something worth talking about.
​
You've booked the venue, sorted the food and probably spent far too long trying to get everyone to agree on a date.
​
Now, how do you make sure your Christmas party is actually memorable?
​
I'm Mark Waddington, an award-winning close-up magician based in Yorkshire, and I help turn Christmas parties into evenings full of laughter, conversation and moments that leave people wondering what on earth they've just witnessed.
​
Whether you're planning a corporate Christmas party in Leeds, a festive celebration in York or an end-of-year event anywhere across Yorkshire, I'll bring the entertainment directly to your guests.
​
No stage. No awkward audience participation. And definitely no pulling rabbits out of hats.
Just incredible, interactive magic happening right in front of your eyes.

Christmas Party Entertainment That Gets Everyone Involved
Let's face it, Christmas parties can be a bit of a mixed bag.
You've got colleagues who work together every day, people from different departments who have barely met and perhaps a few partners who don't know anybody at all.
​
There's often that slightly awkward period when everyone arrives, orders their first drink and wonders who to talk to.
​
That's where I come in.
​
Moving naturally between groups, I'll perform close-up magic that gets people laughing, reacting and talking to each other.
​
Cards change in impossible ways, borrowed objects do things they really shouldn't, and your guests become part of the entertainment rather than simply watching it.
​
Before long, people are calling their colleagues over to see what's happening, sharing their reactions and trying to work out how on earth any of it was possible.
​
It's a fantastic way to break the ice, create a brilliant atmosphere and give everyone something in common to talk about.
​
And because the magic happens in small groups, it never feels like the evening has been taken over by an entertainer.
​
It's your Christmas party. I'm simply there to make it even better.
“Thank you so much Mark for your fantastic magic last Friday. You made our evening so special and fooled everyone! The format was perfect for our corporate group of under 20 guests - we couldn't stop talking about it for the rest of the evening. Thank you again!”

“Mark entertained our guests at our event in November. He mingled with the guests without being intrusive, had great rapport with everyone from little ones upward. To say that we were in awe is an understatement - Mark was absolutely amazing, captivated the audience and left us all wondering how the heck he just did what he did. A brilliant entertainer; I can't recommend him highly enough and everyone is still talking about him! Well worth every penny! Thank you Mark!”

Corporate Christmas Party Magician in Yorkshire
If you're responsible for organising the company Christmas party, you'll know there's a little bit of pressure to get it right.
​
After all, you're trying to organise an event that everyone will enjoy, from the newest member of the team to the managing director.
​
The beauty of close-up magic is that it works with almost any group of people.
There's no need to gather everyone together, interrupt conversations or build the evening around a performance.
​
Instead, I work around your plans, entertaining guests during the moments when a little extra atmosphere makes all the difference.
Magic During Your Drinks Reception
The first hour of a Christmas party can set the tone for the entire evening.
​
As guests arrive and enjoy their welcome drinks, I'll move between groups performing interactive magic that immediately gets people talking.
​
It's especially effective when colleagues from different teams or offices are meeting for the first time.
​

Table Magic During Your Christmas Dinner
Planning a sit-down Christmas meal?
​
I can entertain guests at their tables between courses, bringing the magic directly to them without disrupting the meal or the venue's service.
​
Each table gets its own experience, with plenty of laughter and some genuinely impossible moments.
​
​
Entertainment for Your Christmas Party Evening
If your party includes a DJ, live music or dancing, close-up magic can work beautifully during the earlier part of the evening.
​
I'll mingle with guests, keeping the atmosphere lively before the music takes over.
​
It's a great way to make sure the entertainment starts long before anyone ventures onto the dance floor.

Serving Venues Across Yorkshire
I regularly perform as a close-up magician in North Yorkshire - from Harrogate and York to Ripon, Whitby, Thirsk and the Yorkshire Dales - bringing bespoke magic to christmas parties of all sizes.
