If you're looking for a Mind Reading Magician in Cheltenham, you're probably hoping for something a little more memorable than amazing card tricks.

That's where mind reading comes in.

I'm Andy Field, a professional close-up and mind reading magician with a quarter of a century of experience entertaining people at weddings, parties, corporate events and private celebrations.

I'm also a two-time S.A.M.S. Champion of Close-Up Magic, have worked as a magic consultant and hand double for the BBC drama Hustle, and my magic videos have attracted more than 20 million views on YouTube.

I've also received hundreds of five-star reviews from people who have actually seen me perform live at events.

So I've been doing this for a while.

Long enough to know that when somebody says, "There's absolutely no way you can know what I'm thinking," it's probably a very good time to ask them to think of something.

What is Mind Reading Magic?

Mind reading magic is one of the most fascinating forms of close-up entertainment because it appears to go beyond the usual tricks with cards, coins and objects.

Instead, the focus is on people and their thoughts.

A guest might think of the name of their first love.

Someone else might make a completely free choice.

Another person might secretly write down a pin number.

I then attempt to reveal information that, as far as the audience is concerned, I simply shouldn't know.

And that's when things get interesting.

The great thing about mind reading is that the spectator becomes the centre of the experience.

You're not simply watching me perform a trick.

You're involved in it.

And if I get inside your head, I'm afraid there's no extra charge for the psychological intrusion.

A Cheltenham Mind Reading Magician Who Gets Guests Involved

One of the reasons I enjoy performing mind reading at parties and events is the reaction it creates.

People become curious.

They want to know how it works.

More importantly, they want to test it.

That's when I start getting people involved.

You might make a decision without telling anyone.

You might think of somebody. You could write something down and keep it hidden.

The information might never leave your head. Yet somehow, it can appear that I've discovered it. Of course, there's no actual supernatural ability involved.

If there were, I'd probably spend less time performing at parties and more time predicting the winning lottery numbers.

Mind reading magic is built around a combination of psychology, observation, suggestion, presentation, timing and sleight of hand.

The secret is making all of those things feel completely impossible.

I also perform mind reading and close-up magic as a wedding magician in Cheltenham, particularly during drinks receptions and informal periods between the main parts of the day.

Mind Reading for Parties in Cheltenham

Mind reading works particularly well at private parties because it doesn't require everyone to sit down and watch a formal show.

I can move around the event and perform for small groups.

People can continue chatting, enjoying themselves and catching up with friends.

Then I'll join a group and introduce something that gets everyone concentrating.

Suddenly the conversation changes.

Someone is trying to decide whether to trust me.

Someone else is convinced they've worked it out. And there's usually one person who says:

"I'll volunteer. But you're not going to fool me." Excellent. Those are my favourite people. Not because they're easy to fool.

Because they usually make it much more entertaining when they are.

Mind reading can be particularly effective when combined with party magic in Cheltenham, where guests can become directly involved without interrupting the event.

Mind Reading at Birthday Parties and Celebrations

A mind reading magician in Cheltenham can be a particularly good choice for birthdays, anniversaries and private celebrations.

The entertainment doesn't have to dominate the whole event.

Instead, it can appear naturally throughout the party.

I can perform for one group while another group is chatting nearby, then move on and create another little audience.

That means guests aren't sitting around waiting for the entertainment to finish.

They're experiencing it throughout the event.

Mind reading also gives guests something to talk about afterwards.

Someone will inevitably start explaining what happened.

Another person will insist they know how it was done. Then somebody else will say:

"Do it again."

Unfortunately, I can't.

Well, I can.

But that would spoil the argument.

Why Experience Matters

I've been performing professionally for a quarter of a century, and that experience matters when you're performing live.

It's not simply about knowing how a trick works.

You need to know how to approach people.

When to perform.

When to leave a group alone.

How to read the atmosphere.

And how to adapt when somebody does something completely unexpected.

That's especially important with mind reading. Every person reacts differently. Some people are naturally confident.

Others are more reserved. Some desperately want to be involved. Others would rather watch from a safe distance while their friend volunteers.

A good magician needs to recognise the difference.

Andy Field and BBC Hustle

My experience also includes working as a magic consultant and hand double for the BBC drama Hustle.

Hustle was built around confidence tricks, deception and clever manipulation, so helping the production make its magic and deception convincing was a fascinating experience.

It's certainly not the usual answer when somebody asks what you do for a living.

"What do you do?"

"I'm a magician."

"Anything else?"

"I've worked behind the scenes on a BBC drama helping make a con artist look convincing."

It's one of the more unusual chapters of my career, and one I enjoyed enormously.

More Than 20 Million YouTube Views

Mind reading magician Andy Field is booked for events by clients who have discovered his magic and mind reading performances through his YouTube videos.

My magic has also reached an audience far beyond Cheltenham.

My YouTube videos have attracted more than 20 million views.

That gives people the chance to see my magic before deciding whether I'm the right magician for their event.

But performing online and performing in somebody's living room, birthday party or celebration are very different things.

There are no second takes at a party.

No editing.

No camera angle to hide behind.

You're standing directly in front of somebody who is trying very hard to catch you out.

That's exactly why live magic is so much fun.

Hundreds of Five-Star Reviews

Over the years I've also received hundreds of five-star reviews from people who have booked me or watched me perform.

Reviews are important because anybody can say they're entertaining.

It's much more useful to hear what people who have actually experienced the performance thought.

After a quarter of a century of performing, I've learned that people don't necessarily remember every detail of a trick.

They remember the feeling.

They remember laughing with their friends.

And they certainly remember the moment they thought:

"There's absolutely no way he could have known that."
