Corporate Magic in Oxford

Professional magician Andy Field with television personality Les Dennis.

If you’re looking for a corporate magician in Oxford, you’re probably not after someone who simply knows a few card tricks and owns a suspiciously shiny waistcoat.

You want an experienced professional who can walk into a corporate event. Someone to read the room and approach people confidently. Then create genuine moments of laughter and amazement.

I’m Andy Field, S.A.M.S. Champion of Close-Up Magic (Twice) with a quarter of a century of experience performing professionally. I’ve entertained audiences at corporate events, parties, weddings and venues throughout the UK.

I’ve even been consulted for the BBC series Hustle. My magic videos have also attracted more than 20 million YouTube views. I’ve also built up hundreds of five-star reviews and recommendations from people who have seen me perform.

Corporate Magic in Oxford

Corporate events can be brilliant.

They can also involve a surprising amount of standing around holding a glass while trying to look as though you’re extremely interested in someone explaining their quarterly figures.

That’s where close-up magic can make a real difference.

As a corporate magician in Oxford, I can mingle among your guests and perform interactive magic at close quarters. There’s no stage, no complicated equipment. Definitely no need for everyone to stop what they’re doing and sit down.

Instead, the entertainment comes to the guests.

I use playing cards, borrowed objects, coins, money, rings, keys, elastic bands and other everyday items to create impossible-looking magic right in front of people.

And because the magic is interactive, your guests aren't simply watching a performance. They become part of it.

Why Hire a Corporate Magician in Oxford?

One of the biggest advantages of close-up magic at a corporate event is its flexibility.

Corporate events aren't always structured like traditional shows. You might have people arriving at different times. Groups networking. Colleagues catching up. Clients meeting for the first time. Or guests moving between different areas of the venue.

A magician can work around all of that.

I can move from group to group, perform a few minutes of magic, leave people laughing and talking about what they've just seen. I then move on to the next group.

That creates something particularly valuable at corporate events: Conversation.

Magic gives people something to talk about.

Someone you've never met suddenly has something to say to you because they've just watched their borrowed ring disappear. Found their signed card somewhere impossible. Or discovered that you somehow knew what they were thinking.

And no, I haven't secretly installed microphones in everyone's pockets.

Corporate Events I Can Entertain At

I perform close-up magic for a wide variety of corporate occasions in Oxford and across the surrounding area.

This can include:

• Corporate dinners
• Awards evenings
• Conferences
• Company parties
• Christmas parties
• Networking events
• Business lunches
• Drinks receptions
• Product launches
• Trade events
• Exhibitions
• Staff celebrations
• Client entertainment
• Hospitality events
• Gala dinners

The style of performance can be adapted to suit the occasion.

A relaxed drinks reception calls for a different approach from a formal awards evening, for example.

That's one of the benefits of booking an experienced professional rather than simply hiring someone who happens to know how to make a £2 coin disappear.

Magic That Gets People Talking

Corporate entertainment should do more than fill a gap in the schedule. It should create an experience people remember.

That's why I concentrate on interactive close-up magic rather than simply standing in front of people and demonstrating tricks.

I involve the audience. They hold the cards and sign them. They make decisions.

I borrow their phones, watches, rings or other everyday objects.

Sometimes they even tell me I'm cheating. They're usually right about that last bit.

The important thing is that the magic happens in their hands and right in front of their eyes.

That makes the experience personal.

It's also why close-up magic works particularly well for corporate hospitality and networking. People don't have to stop talking and become an audience. The entertainment can become part of the event itself.

Corporate Magician for Oxford Conferences

Conferences can be fantastic opportunities for networking. But there are often periods when guests are waiting around.

Perhaps registration has just opened. Perhaps there is a break between sessions. Or lunch is being served.

Maybe everyone is waiting for the next speaker. These are perfect opportunities for close-up magic.

Rather than guests standing around looking at their phones, I can move through the room and provide short, interactive performances.

It gives people something memorable to experience while also helping break the ice between delegates.

And if someone has just met another delegate and then both of them witness something impossible together, you've already given them a conversation starter.

Corporate Drinks Receptions

Drinks receptions are another excellent setting for a corporate magician in Oxford.

People are naturally standing, moving around and chatting. So close-up magic fits the environment perfectly.

I can work around the room, approaching small groups and performing directly to them.

The magic can be quick and visual, or I can spend longer with a group if they're particularly enthusiastic.

And there is usually one person in every group who says:

"I know how you did that."

I don't.

But I'm always impressed by their confidence.

Entertaining Clients and Guests

If you're organising corporate hospitality, you want your guests to feel looked after.

Hiring a magician can add something different from the usual entertainment options.

Rather than providing a performance that everyone watches from a distance, close-up magic allows me to interact directly with your clients and guests.

It can help create a relaxed atmosphere. Also I give people something memorable to talk about.

That's particularly useful when you're entertaining clients, potential customers or business partners.

After all, you probably don't want them going home remembering only the sandwiches.

My Experience and Credentials

Andy worked on the BBC drama Hustle

When you book a professional magician for a corporate event, experience matters.

I've been performing magic professionally for a quarter of a century. I have worked in a wide range of environments, from intimate gatherings to large events.

I'm also a two-time S.A.M.S. Champion of Close-Up Magic. I was also consulted for the BBC television series Hustle.

My magic videos have received more than 20 million views on YouTube, while my performances have generated hundreds of five-star reviews and recommendations.

Those things don't replace live experience, of course.

A YouTube video can't tell you whether a magician can walk into a room full of strangers and make people feel comfortable.

A trophy can't tell you whether somebody can entertain a difficult group.

Plus a magic trick certainly can't tell you whether someone turns up on time.

That's where years of professional experience count.

What Makes My Corporate Magic Different?

My sleigh of hand items. Small props but big reactions

My approach is simple. I want people to have fun.

I'm not interested in performing a long list of tricks simply so I can say I've performed them.

Every group is different. Some people love cards. Others prefer mind-reading.

Someone might be fascinated by coins. While another person will happily hand over their wedding ring and then immediately regret it when I walk away with it.

That's why I read the audience and adapt.

The magic should feel spontaneous rather than like guests are watching the same routine being repeated every five minutes.

My aim is for people to laugh, become involved. Plus genuinely wonder what on earth just happened.

Corporate Magic for All Types of Businesses

You don't have to be a huge multinational company to hire a corporate magician.

I perform for businesses and organisations of different sizes.

You might be organising a small company dinner in Oxford. Or a networking event, a conference, an awards ceremony or a large corporate celebration.

The performance can be tailored to the occasion.

For smaller events, I can spend more time with individual groups.

For larger events, I can circulate and entertain guests throughout the venue.

The key is making sure the entertainment complements the event rather than taking it over.

Booking a Corporate Magician in Oxford

If you're considering hiring a corporate magician in Oxford, I'd be delighted to entertain your guests.

I don't charge extra simply because I'm travelling further or because I perform for a particular length of time. My fees reflect the experience, skill, showmanship and professional service I bring to your event.

I also understand that corporate events need to run smoothly.

You have enough to think about without worrying whether the magician has remembered his cards.

I arrive prepared, professionally dressed and ready to entertain.

My job is to fit into your event and make your guests look forward to the next impossible thing rather than wondering when the entertainment is going to start.

Why Oxford?

     Bodleian library building in Oxford, UK

Oxford is a fantastic location for corporate events. With its hotels, conference facilities, colleges, restaurants and historic venues providing some memorable settings for business gatherings.

Whether you're organising a conference, company celebration, awards evening, networking event or corporate dinner, adding close-up magic can give your guests something they weren't expecting.

And sometimes the unexpected is exactly what makes an event memorable.

Let's Make Your Corporate Event Memorable

A good corporate event should leave people talking afterwards.

Not just about the speeches. Not just about the food.

And hopefully not about Dave from accounts attempting karaoke after two glasses of orange juice.

Corporate magic in Oxford gives your guests something they can experience together.

They can watch impossible magic happen inches from their eyes, take part in the tricks themselves and share the experience with colleagues, clients and guests.

With a quarter of a century of professional experience, two S.A.M.S. Close-Up Magic Championship titles, BBC Hustle experience, more than 20 million YouTube views and hundreds of five-star reviews, I bring professional close-up magic and plenty of personality to corporate events throughout Oxford.

If you'd like to make your next corporate event a little more memorable, get in touch with Andy Field and let's talk about your event.

Because apparently, making people question reality is now considered a perfectly respectable business expense.
