Close- Up MagicWith hundreds of performances across corporate events, weddings, and private parties, our close-up magic brings something rare to any gathering: entertainment your guests will still be talking about weeks later.
Whether it's intimate mingling magic performed inches from your guests' hands during a cocktail hour, or walk-around entertainment that keeps a full room engaged, every show is built around genuine audience interaction, not passive watching.
Guests become part of the performance. Cards vanish from their own hands. Predictions turn up in their own pockets. It's the kind of reaction that can't be staged, which is exactly why it works so well for corporate events, holiday parties, and milestone celebrations alike.
Why Close-Up Magic?
-
Because the magic happens inches from guests' eyes, often using their own rings, cards, or phones—the wonder feels personal and impossible to explain away as camera tricks or staging.
-
A close-up magician can circulate during cocktail hours or between courses, giving every small cluster of guests a unique, memorable moment instead of everyone watching the same static show.
-
trangers bond quickly over a shared "how did they do that?!" moment, which makes it especially valuable at networking events, weddings, or corporate mixers where guests don't know each other yet.
-
No stage, sound system, or lighting rig required, just a skilled performer and a deck of cards or a few props, making it easy to slot into almost any venue or budget.

FAQ-
Most corporate magic shows in Toronto range from $2,000 to $5,000 depending on the format and performer. The cost depends on the type of performance (walk-around vs. stage show), the length of the set, the size of the audience, and the experience of the magician. At the Toronto Magic Company, most of our corporate bookings fall between $3,000 and $5,000 for premium, professional entertainment that’s tailored to your event.

Corporate clients typically choose between walk-around magic, stage shows, or a custom combination of both. Walk-around (or close-up) magic happens during cocktail hour or networking events and is perfect for breaking the ice. Stage magic is a 20–60 minute interactive show for the full group, ideal for kicking off or closing out an event. Most commonly, walk around magic happens during cocktail hour, and a stage show happens as after dinner entertainment! For maximum impact, many clients combine the two.
