noel qualter. nice tricks. not a weirdo So you're thinking about booking a close-up magician? Your main objective must be to hire somebody who doesn't look like a serial killer, is experienced in this specialised area and can prove he can make people happy.

Casual Bragging - Recent clients include Nintendo, 02, Samsung, International Petroleum Exchange, Factiva, Pfizer, Rank Group, Republic House, BBC, Channel 4, GE, United Airlines, Viacom and American Express.

Kind of a cross between lapdancing/Paul Daniels (don't visualize that) 'Noel's skills are really mind-blowing - when he does a trick inches away from you it's still impossible to see how he does it. Really astonishing! And he's an engaging and original presence, funny and articulate he's as far away from smarm as you can get - Penny Woolcock, Film Director You certainly made a huge impression on everyone. It was great to hear the gasps of amazement, cheers and clapping from groups across the room. Your close-up magic added to a thoroughly enjoyable and memorable evening. Claire Haylock, Viacom Outdoor

S1L3NC3 www.S1L3NC3.com
An underground artist whose canvas is your mind. Presenting direct misconceptions & delusions. Altering peoples perceptions of reasoning and belief. S1L3NC3 is a totality. It is not the absolute absence of sound that we find uncanny, however. It is the moment of absolute potential. In that moment, anything is possible; we do not know what might happen next. S1L3NC3 is an intrusion into the unknown or rather, since the locus of silence is – and can only be – the one experiencing it, an intrusion of the unknown into ourselves. After living in Germany during the Summer of 2008, he is back in London, finally ready.

Jerome Burnet www.magic.jeromeburnet.com
I am a close up magician. I perform mainly with cards, but I also do tricks with coins, pens, forks, spoons, wallets and everyday objects. I also perform mentalism, do balloon modelling for comedy or when I am performing in an environment with children. However, I do not do children magic. Not that I do not like them, but because that an area I am not focusing in at the moment. Maybe later in my career… But I have plenty of friends who are competent in this area. I recently joined a magician club, the LSM (London Society of Magician), which is the 2nd bigest magician’s club in London (if not in the UK). I passed the audition, mixing comedy and close up magic. My favourite territory is the pub or parties where I can easily go from group to group, and where people are usually up for a laugh. But I do adapt easily to other environments such as restaurants, night clubs, hotel, weddings, even the street or shops (thinking of the day I performed in the Gadget Shop on Piccadilly circus). My greatest skill and satisfaction is to bring smiles on people faces and make them having a nice time they will never forget. Performing in public places means dealing with all sort of people, all ages, all nationalities, all genders, all states . I can also perform in French, as I am French. I have professional experience, mainly for private customers, but I perform on a regular basis in pubs and bars. I also performed in village fairs, night clubs, weddings, birthdays… The Soho Lounge, and the Steam Bar (Hilton Hotel Paddington London) are amongst my customers. Channel 4 has also hired me to appear on one of its forthcoming programs. So if you are planning a party, an inauguration, a wedding, or if you just organize a get together with your friends and you need entertainment, well, you should consider magic for a different evening… an evening you’ll probably never forget. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I’ll reply as soon as possible (emails during the week, phone most of the time, but you can leave a message).

Ollie Jason www.myspace.com/olliejason
Inspired and fuelled by all things Rock, alternative magician Ollie Jason is eclectic, electric and guaranteed to be freaky as! "I'm Ollie. I'm an alternative "magician". I use that term loosely, because most of what you see me do close up is more real than just magic, and onstage it's an all out rock show; an electric mix of music, walls of death, screaming, head - choppin', body - burnin', spear - impalin' fun! I perform within the alternative (emo, screamo, metal, goth, punk, hardcore) music scene and I do stuff that's unlike anything you've seen before.
