Close-Up magic for Hertfordshire events
Hertfordshire has some of the finest event venues in the country, and most are under an hour from central London: country estates like The Grove and Hanbury Manor, St Albans hotels such as Sopwell House and St Michael’s Manor, wedding barns around Ware and Buntingford, and golf clubs in Radlett and Bushey. 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 all over Hertfordshire, from team events at The Grove and weddings at Fanhams Hall, Tewin Bury Farm and Pendley Manor, to an 80th birthday in Aldenham and filming at BBC Elstree Studios. Corporate events make up nearly half of his Herts bookings.
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.
