Summer party & company BBQ magician · DublinSummer partiesyour team will talk about.
Close-up magic and mind reading for company summer parties, garden parties and BBQs. Jamie moves from group to group, so every guest gets a moment of wow.
Made for a party outdoors
No stage.No problem.
A summer party has no fixed seats and no stage. Guests stand in small groups with a drink. That is where close-up magic works best.
Every group gets a moment
Jamie brings the magic to each group, so nobody waits for a show to start.
In the guests' own hands
The trick finishes in a guest's own hands, so the people around them see every detail.
Fits around the party
Walk-around magic needs no stage or equipment. It fits around your food, your bar and your music.
