Why Magic in Chester?

Chester magician Hello, Chester! If you’ve ever wondered how to make your next event truly unforgettable, you’re in the right place. I’m Paul Roberts, a close-up magician performing in Chester with over 20 years of experience bringing jaw-dropping magic to weddings, private parties, and corporate gatherings across Cheshire. Today, I’m excited to share how I can add a sprinkle of wonder to your big day—whether it’s in Handbridge, Hoole, or anywhere in this beautiful city.

Why Magic in Chester?

Chester’s got a charm all its own—Roman walls, The Rows, and that stunning cathedral. It’s a city steeped in history and stories, so why not add a modern twist with some interactive magic? Whether I’m mingling with guests at a wedding at The Grosvenor Hotel or dazzling a corporate crowd at Chester Racecourse, my goal’s the same: leave everyone amazed, smiling, and talking about it for years.

Here’s a peek at what I bring to the table (or, more likely, your guests’ hands!).

What I Offer as Your Chester Magician

Close-Up Magic That Wows

Picture this: I’m strolling through your event, pulling a signed coin from someone’s pocket or bending a spoon with a flick of my wrist—all inches from their eyes. My mix-and-mingle magic (some call it walkabout or strolling magic) is perfect for drinks receptions, BBQs, or casual parties. It’s a conversation starter that works just as well at a laid-back Upton gathering as it does at a swanky Tarporley affair.

Wedding Magic in Chester

Weddings are my specialty. From keeping guests entertained during the photo lull to sparking gasps at the breakfast table, I tailor every trick to fit your day. Imagine a £1 coin turning into a £20 note they get to keep—talk about a wedding favour! I’ve performed at venues like The Queen Hotel and Carden Park, making Chester weddings even more magical.

Corporate Events with a Twist

Need to impress clients or energize a team? My corporate magic’s got you covered. I’ve worked with local legends like Chester Racecourse, crafting bespoke tricks to spotlight products or break the ice at networking nights. One client, Sarah Thompson, raved:
“Paul performed at our product launch and stole the show. He wove our brand into his magic—our guests couldn’t stop talking about it!”

After-Dinner Magic to Cap the Night

Swap the usual comedian for something different. My 40-45 minute after-dinner show blends laughs, audience participation, and mind-blowing moments. It’s a hit at galas or festive dinners—check out my showreel below to see it in action:

A Little About Me

I swapped a desk job for a deck of cards 30 years ago, and I’ve never looked back. Chester’s been my home base, but magic’s taken me across Cheshire and beyond. When I’m not performing, you might catch me hiking in Delamere Forest, sketching new tricks, or enjoying a pint at The Brewery Tap. I love creating custom magic—whether it’s for a bride’s big day or a company’s brand launch. It’s all about making your event uniquely yours.

Recent gigs? I’ve wowed wedding guests in Christleton, corporate folks in Boughton, and partygoers in Saltney. Venues like Chester Zoo and Chester Town Hall have hosted my act, and I’m proud to bring a bit of sparkle to our city.

What People Are Saying

Don’t just take my word for it—here’s what Chester locals think:

  • Mark Evans, Cheshire“Paul made our charity gala unforgettable. He brought everyone together—loads of people asked for his details!”
  • Emma Griffiths“His magic at our Chester wedding was incredible. Guests were buzzing all night—perfect entertainment!”
