The perfect moment for magic
Dinner is over, the coffee is poured and everyone is finally in one room. It’s the perfect moment for a show. Matt’s after-dinner set is a 20–30 minute interactive performance of magic and mind reading, with guests invited up to take part and the whole room in on the reaction.
It works brilliantly at corporate dinners, awards nights, gala evenings, conferences and private celebrations. It needs no big stage: just a space at the front of the room and a microphone. Matt shapes the show around your audience, your running order and your speeches.
Many organisers book the after-dinner show alongside close-up magic at the drinks reception, so guests meet Matt in small groups first and then see the full show after dinner.
The guests are famous. The reaction is the same.
