Christmas Party Magician London
Close-up magic for London Christmas parties - office dos, client thank-yous and festive client entertaining.
About Christmas Party Magician London
December is the busiest month of the year for corporate entertainment, and a good magician gets booked up early. If you’re organising a London office Christmas party at venues like The Brewery in the City, Grosvenor House on Park Lane or Revolution on Leadenhall Street, a client thank-you evening, or a festive team celebration, close-up magic is one of the most reliable ways to get everyone mingling, laughing and off their phones – no dance floor required, no awkward silence while people wait for the DJ to start.
Pete works the room during drinks and canapés, or table-to-table through a seated Christmas dinner, tailoring the material to a festive mood without it ever feeling gimmicky. It’s the kind of entertainment guests are still talking about back at their desks in January.

When to Book (and Why It Matters More in December)
Most London Christmas parties land on a Thursday or Friday in the first three weeks of December, which means the entire city is competing for the same handful of dates. Those go first, often before some companies have even confirmed their venue. If your party is on one of those evenings, it is worth locking entertainment in around September or October rather than leaving it to November.
One useful thing to know: plenty of Christmas parties happen in January. Hotels, venues and hospitality teams work right through December and celebrate afterwards, and January dates are far easier to get. If your date is flexible, that is where the availability is.
London Christmas Party Venues Pete Has Worked
Booked by the company or planner running the event, not by the venue:
- The Brewery, in the City of London
- Grosvenor House Hotel, Park Lane
- Revolution, Leadenhall Street
- City Central at the HAC, Moorgate
- Andaz London Liverpool Street
- The Jockey Club at Epsom Downs Racecourse (three separate Christmas parties)
What Affects the Cost
- How long you need, and whether it is drinks only or drinks through dinner.
- Guest numbers. Past roughly 150 it is worth discussing a longer booking or a second performer.
- The date. Peak December Thursdays and Fridays are the hardest to get and the first to go.
No travel charge anywhere in London. Send your date, venue and rough numbers and Pete will come back with an actual figure.

Frequently Asked Questions
I am based in Orpington, Greater London, UK, but regularly perform at high-profile events nationwide and internationally - including regularly across Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Essex, Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire.
Most bookings run one to two hours of mixed-and-mingled close-up magic, though I offer flexible packages from a short 45-minute slot up to a full day's entertainment - whatever suits your event.
The Magic Circle is Britain's most respected society for magicians, founded in 1905. It isn't a membership you can simply pay for - every applicant has to pass a formal examination (or submit a thesis) in front of a panel of existing members, demonstrating real skill and knowledge of the craft, before being admitted. I've been a Member since 2016.
As early as you can - December is my busiest month and popular dates fill up well in advance, so booking in September or October gives you the best choice of dates.
Yes - for bigger parties I work continuously across the room throughout the event so as many guests as possible get to see the magic. Let me know your numbers when you enquire and I'll advise on timing.
