Magic for private celebrations

I’m Daniel Bower, a London based magician and host, and a member of The Magic Circle. As well as corporate events and weddings, I perform at private celebrations: birthdays, anniversaries, dinner parties, bar and bat mitzvahs, christenings, and parties at home or in the garden.

My magic happens right in your guests’ hands. Minds are read, objects bend in their own hands, and everyday items like phones become part of the experience. It gets people talking to each other, whether they’ve known each other for years or have only just met.

What works for your event

Birthdays and anniversaries

Mingling magic as guests arrive and chat, then a short show to bring everyone together for a moment built around the person you’re celebrating.

Dinner parties

Magic at the table between courses, whether it’s a few friends at home or a full private dining room.

House and garden parties

I move between groups, indoors or out, so everyone gets a turn and the party keeps flowing.

Family celebrations

Bar and bat mitzvahs, christenings and family milestones, with magic that works for every generation in the room.

Larger private events

A stage show that brings the whole room together, and hosting if you’d like someone to run the evening.

How it works

Close up magic is performed for small groups around the room, often in their hands. It’s the best way to get a party going and works during drinks, dinner or later in the evening.

A stage show brings everyone together for one shared performance, usually 10 to 45 minutes, with your guests as the stars.

Many parties use both. Tell me your plans and I’ll suggest what fits.

Absolutely the right entertainment choice. He moved with ease and professionalism, blowing our minds with metal bending, fire, phones and more.

We met Daniel at a wedding fair, and then blew us away on the big day! The special session with the bride and groom was a lovely touch. Couldn’t recommend more!

Frequently asked questions

Booking a magician for your party.

Do you perform at parties at home?

Yes. Plenty of my private bookings are at home or in the garden, as well as at restaurants, hotels and event venues.

How many guests can you perform for?

Around 50 to 60 guests per hour is a useful rule of thumb for close up magic. For larger parties I may suggest more time or a short stage show, which brings everyone together at once.

How long should I book you for?

It depends mainly on guest numbers. Send me your guest count and timings and I’ll recommend what makes sense.

Where are you based and do you travel?

I’m based in London and regularly perform throughout the UK, including Hertfordshire. I also travel internationally for selected private bookings.

How far in advance should I book?

As soon as your date is confirmed. Popular Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays can book months ahead, especially around Christmas. Last minute bookings are sometimes possible too.
