About Roy Charles - Close Up Magician
Based in Portsmouth, award-winning close-up magician Roy Charles is a very experienced specialist in sleight-of-hand magic. Performing effects that have taken him years to perfect. Roy can perform almost anywhere and all the magic happens right at your guest’s fingertips adding strong magical memories, by using coins, ropes, cards, silks, and even their own rings and watches etc.
As well as having unbelievable sleight-of-hand skills, Roy knows the “True” meaning of entertainment. Not just by amazing your guests, but performing in an entertaining fashion so that they enjoy being fooled by his amazing dexterity, great sense of humour and by using his likeable, friendly personality.
Close-up magic will slot easily into your order of events. There is no need to change your programme or your venue to fit in with the fun. No special stage or entertainment area is required, making close-up magic a flexible and informal source of enjoyment.
Mingling magic can be used at receptions and cocktail functions. As Roy moves amongst your guests and performs for individuals, small groups will form to enjoy the magic, which then acts as a great conversation starter. The magic is done in the hands, with Roy working from his pockets without the need for a table.
Table magic (also known as a table hopping) is exactly as it sounds, magic performed for groups of guests seated at a table. Roy moves from table to table, performing his magic before and after the meal and between courses. Roy gets their attention without seeming intrusive and the whole table can become involved in the fun. This has proved a great success at masonic, rotary and round table dinners.
Roy frequently entertains at private parties, functions and corporate events in Portsmouth, Southampton, Bournemouth, Winchester, Guildford, West Sussex, Hampshire, Dorset, Surrey, Berkshire, Wiltshire, London and surrounding areas.

Trade Shows and Conferences.
Whether your exhibit is to pursue leads, for public relations purposes, or a combination of both, two things are crucial to achieving your objectives.

Roy Charles can create a unique presentation for your trade show stand that will stop people in their tracks and make them listen to your message whilst keeping them interested and entertained. Roy insures that the delegates are informed and entertained at the same time. This can be done on a large or more intimate scale depending on your requirements. Remember: Maximum exposure means more leads which in turn means maximum returns!

Grabbing their attention!
Roy was recently performing at the worlds biggest mobile conference, (the three GSM Congress) held in Cannes for a UK based company called Telsis. The world press and media were present at the conference. And all the companies were trying to get into the local newspapers to obviously generate publicity. Roy was busy performing and did something amazing to grab the attention of a passing press cameraman who took his picture along with the company logo in the background which appeared in the daily newspaper the very next morning. Resulting in some great FREE publicity for Telsis.
“Whenever I need a magician for an event, Roy is the first person I call.”
