About

On Hitched.co.uk since 2024

Last update: August 2026

There aren't many Magicians out there that can say they have pick pocketed Mike Tysons watch, vanished Arnold Schwarzenegger's jewellery, performed the oldest trick in magic for world champion boxer Tyson Fury or toured with American musical legends, The Temptations & The Four Tops.

Close-up magician Chris Cowl is based in the UK and has specialised in magic performance for over 30 years. Available for weddings, corporate events, parties, christenings, bars, restaurants and other events.

He has been performing close-up magic for thousands of guests worldwide, and guess what… he totally loves it.

He doesn’t pull rabbits out of hats or do big illusions with beautiful women (although he wouldn’t mind)… he does things with everyday objects, i.e. playing cards, coins, elastic bands, watches, and anything he lays his hands on.

Magic like no other

Chris was amazing!! Our guests were blown away with what he did, he blended into the reception like a guest then WHAM magic!! Water, fire, cards then boom all gone and appearing all over the place! If you want your guests to be blown away Chris is your person.

He took me and my new wife to do some magic which was great so we had some time to enjoy it! Was a nice touch to it and let us have some time to enjoy what we booked.
