About
Andy

I'm Andy Russell, a professional close-up magician based in Scarborough, performing across North Yorkshire and beyond.

​​

I provide friendly, professional close - up magic that brings people together and creates unforgettable moments for guests of all ages.

​

I've been performing magic for over 40 years, and what still drives me today is the same thing that hooked me from the start - real reactions! The laughter, the disbelief, the moment when someone realises they've just seen something impossible happen in their own hands.

​

My style of magic is interactive, relaxed, and designed for social settings. I specialise in close up magic for pubs, restaurants, weddings and private parties, where people are up close, engaged, and ready to enjoy the experience together. There's no stage, no big props, and no interruptions- just natural, high - impact magic that fits seamlessly into your event.

​

I'm a member of the Magic Circle and take pride in being professional, reliable, and easy to work with.

Every performance is adapted to the audience in front of me, whether if it's a lively pub crowd, wedding guests during a drinks reception, or a group celebrating a special occasion at home.

​

My aim is simple; to create moments people talk about long after the night is over.

​

If you're looking for engaging, reaction - driven entertainment that brings people together and adds real energy to your event, I'd love to hear from you.
