Close-Up magic for Brighton and Hove events
Brighton does events like nowhere else: Regency seafront hotels, conferences at the Brighton Centre, weddings in Hove and Rottingdean, and birthday nights in the Lanes and Kemptown. Close-up magic suits every one of them. Matt Parro moves between groups and tables performing magic that happens in your guests’ own hands, with their phones, their rings and their thoughts, so every group gets a moment of its own.
Matt has performed at more than 200 events in Brighton and Hove, including regular events at The Grand and the Hilton Brighton Metropole, plus events at the Brighton i360, Brighton Dome, Sea Life Brighton and the American Express Stadium. More than half are corporate events: conferences, awards dinners, client evenings and Christmas parties.
From a seafront conference for hundreds to a 30th birthday in a Kemptown bar, the performance is shaped around your timings, your guests and your venue.
The guests are famous. The reaction is the same.

Hiring a magician in Brighton
How much does it cost to hire a magician in Brighton?
Every Brighton booking is quoted individually, because the fee depends on the date, how long you’d like Matt to perform, the number of guests and the type of event. Send your details for a clear quote.
Do you perform in Hove too?
Yes. Matt performs in Hove regularly, from the Sussex County Cricket Ground and The Hove Club to weddings at Rockwater and Hangleton Manor, and birthdays in private homes.
Can you perform at a Brighton wedding?
Yes. Magic works best during the drinks reception, while photos are being taken, and between courses, at venues such as Stanmer House, The Old Market and Brighton’s seafront hotels. See the wedding magician page.
Do you perform at Brighton conferences?
Yes. Corporate events are more than half of Matt’s Brighton bookings, from conferences at the Brighton Centre to awards dinners at The Grand and the Hilton Metropole. See the corporate magician page.
Can you perform at a birthday in a bar or restaurant?
Yes. Close-up magic needs no stage or set-up, so it works in bars, restaurants and private dining rooms across the Lanes, North Laine and Kemptown. Matt performs for adults; he is not a children’s entertainer.
How long do you perform for?
Typically between 30 minutes and 2 hours, depending on your event and guest numbers. Matt will suggest the timings that let him reach every guest.
How far ahead should I book?
As early as you can, especially for summer Saturdays, conference season and December, which book up first. If your date is close, it’s still worth asking.
Do you cover the rest of Sussex?
Yes. See the Sussex magician page for events from Chichester to Eastbourne, and the London magician page for events in the capital.
Other areas Matt covers
As well as Brighton and Hove, Matt performs across London, the South East and the rest of the UK.
