My name is Darren Whichello, a Close-Up Magician who combines old school charm with a quick wit and cool modern magic! I was personally trained by Magic Circle President, Jack Delvin and have performed on stage at The Magic Circle Theatre, without a doubt the most prestigious magic venue in the world! I have been a professional Magician for over a decade now and am very versatile. I have performed for all sorts of clients in all sorts of locations (including The Beefeaters at the Tower of London for their annual dinner!) and am equally at ease in top venues like Claridges Hotel, The Savoy, The Hurlingham Club, Heaver Castle or St Paul's Cathedral as I am entertaining guests in restaurants, bars, pubs, clubs & offices as well as private homes and gardens too. 

So, whether you need me to greet guests as they arrive, mingle as the party flows or go around the tables during dinner, you can rest assured that all your guests will have a magical time which they will remember and talk about for years to come!

​

I would describe my style of magic as fast and fun yet unobtrusive! I understand that I am not the

reason everybody is at the party so I try not to dominate the room but instead mingle with the guests a few at a time, making them feel good, laughing, joking and hopefully amazing them too! If you need something a little bigger that is fine too, I can perform something special for a guest of honour or top table if required or even entertain the entire room.

​

A professional entertainer or top class Magician should be able to adapt his performance to the clients needs and not only relax and entertain the guests but allow the host to enjoy things too as well as leave wonderful memories which will stay with everyone forever!

​

Imagine the impact of a cool professional Close-Up Magician at your Cocktail or Dinner party? Or if you are planning something a little larger, why not have one of the best party Magicians in London mingle with your guests and take things to a different level!

Maybe you are thinking about a Las Vegas themed party? If so, I am your man! I often work with Sinatra style lounge singers and can throw in a few cool gambling routines to make the night a real winner by adding some great Close-Up Magic and a touch of Rat-Pack cool!

Everyone loves a Christmas party so why not make yours an extra cool Yule with a great Christmas Party Magician! Whether your Christmas bash is in a hotel, bar, restaurant, home or even in the office I can conjure up some magic and help get everyone in the mood for festive fun!

Weddings are my favourite! And as a Professional Wedding Magician it is my job to not only keep everyone entertained but to also help the day flow. Imagine, just as the service is over and the pictures are being taken, while some of  your guests are getting their first drink, a top class Close-Up Magician mingling, breaking the ice and amazing!  A great Wedding Magician at your celebrations will not only give your guests something extra to talk about but also get them laughing and joking together too and leave incredible memories! If you prefer, I could stroll around the tables before, during or after the Wedding Breakfast (I'm a great Table Magician!) or even entertain the guests in the evening. Or if you prefer do a combination of them all!

Magic has become very popular in recent years. I suppose the resurgence started with David Blaine over in the US and a few years later here in the UK with Derren Brown and Dynamo. So it has gone from being a little old fashion and performed on a stage to being cool and fun and performed Close-Up. Close-Up Magic is great fun and works as an incredible ice breaker ant any event. I perform Close-Up Magic and will normally mingle with guests so I am a Close-Up Magician. I also perform as a Table Magician if the guests are seated. I am a Party Magician as well as a Wedding Magician and a Corporate Events Magician too. You could say I am a Magician for hire! I am a London Magician (Magician London) as well as a Kent Magician (Magician Kent) and a Essex Magician (Magician Essex). But I also cover many other areas in and around the South East. I am a London Magician for hire! Or even a Close-Up Magician for hire!

So if you want to add a little Rat-Pack cool to your party, wedding or event why not have one of the Best Magicians in London come along and entertain everyone!
