Why Chris?

Chris Harding is one of the UK’s foremost Close up Magicians. His original style and unique persona have made him one of the most requested artists of his time.

With over a decade of performing experience and having already performed for many top UK corporate clients and countless weddings across the UK and Europe, Chris Harding is sure to enchant and amaze you with his skills.

From the mystifying to the absolute impossible, the Close up Magic of Chris Harding is guaranteed to be an experience that you will NEVER forget. An on-going abundance of requests to return to perform for previous clients does not only attest to his popularity, but also his professionalism.

The real truth can only ever be told by my clients themselves and I get lots of feedback whenever I perform, it is always nice that people take the time to write their thoughts and send them over for me to show other clients.

Some of the most recent feedback is shown below…

“Chris Harding’s magic is astounding!

From the presentation and execution of the show to the tricks themselves everything about this guy will truly win you over and leave you baffled as to how he does it.

We booked Chris for our wedding in June to wander around during the evening and perform to our guests as they enjoyed the party. The feedback that we received from our family and friends the next day was fantastic with everyone singing his praises and raving about their own individual experiences with him to each other.

It is not just Chris’s magical talent that compelled us to book him but also his infectious personality and professionalism throughout. We have been so impressed by all of the correspondence during our business with him and his overall attitude and attention to detail has been second to none. Chris is real gent and a fantastic entertainer – to anyone looking to book a magician, do yourselves a favour  - stop looking and start booking.”

“We were recommended Chris Harding by our wedding photographer who had only seen him once but had said he was very good and so we arranged to meet him prior to any booking.

Chris popped round to our house and we chatted comfortably for over two hours. Despite the fact that he did not show us one trick, we decided to book him as his personality and charisma were just what we were looking for.

On the day Chris was ready and waiting for our guests as they arrived and it didnt take long for word to get around that there was a magician at the venue. Being a little into magic myself I was in awe of what Chris was able to do. The variety of magic was exceptional, always keeping his audience on edge and amazing everyone on the day.

We wanted a magician that would entertain us and our guests for a minimum of two and a half hours, before, during and after food. However, what we got was a magician that ended up staying around 5-6 hours as he later said he was enjoying himself as much as we enjoyed his tricks, someone who everyone was and still are talking about now and someone who made our day a very special one. The correspondance before, during and after the event was professional, efficient and relaxed and his attention to detail, meeting everyones magical needs were second to none.

A few weeks after our wedding we received a memento of our day; a personalised glass bottle containing a sealed deck of cards, which sparks off conversation when anyone pops round and provides the perfect excuse to once again talk and reminisce about our memorable wedding day. We and all of our guests would agree that we would have no hesistaion in recommending him to anyone wishing to have a brilliant magician, whatever the occasion and wherever the venue”. Thanks again Chris!”

“We hired Chris for our wedding this summer and what an impact he had! He came highly recommended and from our first conversation with him on the phone, he was freindly and professional. We never had to wait long for him to get back to us on our questions and was always easily contactable.

Like anyone who is good at what they do, you can tell Chris has a passion for magic and this came through in his performance. On our wedding day he was such a hit, that every guest we have spoken to since, says “…and Wow! What about that Magician?”. Several guests have requested Chris for their own special occasions.

Chris’ easy going, confident personality made him the perfect ice breaker between guests, the ideal finishing touch to our swanky champagne reception. He was very engaging and funny with groups of all ages.

As for his magic, you have to see it to believe it! Simply amazing!”

“Hi Chris

Myself and Mark wanted to say a huge thank you to you for performing at the wedding. Firstly we would like to say thank you for staying longer then planned due to the delay in the service.

Mark was extremely pleased to have you at the wedding performing and thought that you were brilliant. As did all of our guests. We will have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone we know that is looking for a magician.

Once again thank you for helping make it such a special day for us both.”
