Close-Up magic for Dorset events
Dorset is made for celebrations: seafront hotels in Bournemouth, the harbour and Sandbanks at Poole, golf clubs around Ferndown, and country barns and farms inland towards Wimborne and Shaftesbury. 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 across Dorset, from a Christmas party at The Chine Hotel and events at The Haven Hotel, Sandbanks and the Bournemouth Pavilion, to weddings in Christchurch and Lytchett Matravers and birthday parties at Dudsbury Golf Club. Dorset is an easy trip along the coast from Hampshire, where Matt performs regularly.
Whatever the room, the performance is shaped around your timings, your guests and your venue, and it works for every age in the room.
The guests are famous. The reaction is the same.
