More Bournemouth Magicians
If you are expecting over 150 guests at your event it is highly recommended to hire more Bournemouth Magicians to ensure everyone gets to see some Magic, during Mix and Mingle Magic Roger can perform to about 70-80 guests an hour. So for larger events and if there is only limited amount of time i.e during a dinner there is no way he is going to get around to 300 guests, hiring a second entertainer (or third) will ensure that everyone gets to see some magic.

What does a Close up Magician do?
A close-up magician performs magic tricks in close proximity to the audience, typically using everyday objects such as cards, coins, or even smartphones.

So it depends if you like old school magic, modern magic with smartphones, magic with comedy or children’s magic. When hiring a Close up Magician you need to let them know what sort of magic you are looking for.
