Russ' close up magic is amazingly versatile and can be performed at any time during an event. At weddings for example, the most popular times are;

• Walk Around Magic – Russ will mingle between your friends and family whilst the photos are being taken to entertain them whilst they wait for their photo call.
• Drinks Reception Magic – Magic for your guests during a drinks reception before the wedding breakfast will perfectly fill the gap and getting people talking.
• Table Hopping – If you have guests who have never met sat on a table together, Russ' close up magic will give them the perfect reason to get to know each other during the meal.
• Bridging The Gap – After the meal and before the evening celebrations can sometimes be a difficult gap in the day. Russ will keep the celebration atmosphere going until the evening guests arrive.
• The Evening Celebrations – Close up magic can work really well at evening receptions too and Russ is highly experienced with bringing people together to enjoy fantastic magic entertainment like no other.

Russ has performed his unique close up magic at thousands of special events throughout Britain since 2002 and as a result he brings with him a tonne of experience and professionalism to your event.

I booked Russ for a social/corporate event. He was great to deal with via email and very helpful. He arrived punctually and his work was excellent. He was friendly and personable and the guests were amazed by his magic. He worked with the guests and did not intrude but he certainly kept the evening moving nicely. Highly recommended.

Russ came and worked his magic for my daughters evening wedding party. All the guests loved him and could not believe what they were seeing. I would highly recommend Russ to anyone wanting some first class entertainment for their wedding party or other event.

I've seen Russ performing magic several times now and honestly he's the best magician I've ever had the pleasure of seeing. Not only are his tricks astounding but his wit and charisma shine making those he's performing for feel extra special. He performed at my cousin's wedding reception a few years back and people still talk about it. His passion for magic is just genuine and he does his upmost to make whatever event special. I couldn't recommend him more. Thank you :0).

Have recently booked Russell as part of a company celebration. I have always been sceptical about Magic but I can truly say I was left speechless do some of the tricks Russell performed. Forget this TV magic with all the camara trickery, this man performs the tricks inches from your eyes. Amazing, worth every penny.

Having stumbled across Russ and his act at a friends Surprise 30th Party, at which he had everyone crowding around him trying to see what was coming next. I booked him to do table magic at our Rugby Club Dinner Dance, all the guests seemed very impressed and I shall be re booking for next year. The magic was breathtaking and the magicians charm and charisma made the show extra special.

I booked Russ as part of an event at work and was blown away with his slick professional style. This guy really is 'Smart magic'! Would recommend to anyone that wants something spectacular for their event whatever it may be as he was really flexible for our requirements. Worth every penny will definitely book again!

Russ is an absolutely amazing magician! 100% recommended. Everyone was astounded, just brilliant. Book him if you want something unique and special to impress your guests.

Russ was booked for my surprise birthday party and we all enjoyed his show. Russ involved every one of us, which made us feel like part of the act and it was good to see the tricks up-close. I'd recommend Russ if you like decent magic tricks and don't mind looking a fool, because I didn't have a clue how he did any of those tricks!

OMG, A-Mazing, Fandabbydozy - There are not enough superlatives to describe Russ's performance. For mine n Mercedes wedding we decided to go for something a little different and had been recommended Russ through some friends; well we were certainly pleased with the service we got. Russ thoroughly entertained ourselves and our wedding party for 2 hours and left us all wanting more. Was a great ice breaker for guests sat on tables with a mixture of guests and an all round entertainer, the magic was out of this world and unbelieveable that it all happened right in front of your eyes, tons of audience participation n to top it all of he was a jolly nice chap. Watch out Paul Daniels cos theres a new kid in town and his name is Appleby, Russ Appleby (magician extraordinaire! ).
