Close-Up magic for Kent events
The Garden of England is full of beautiful places to celebrate: castle barns and manor houses in the Weald, historic estates like Penshurst Place, country house hotels around Tunbridge Wells and Ashford, and seaside venues from Whitstable to Dover. 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 performs right across Kent, from corporate dinners at the Salomons Estate and a charity ball at Brands Hatch to university balls in Canterbury, weddings across the Weald, and milestone birthdays from Sevenoaks to the coast.
Whatever the room, the performance is shaped around your timings, your guests and your venue, and it works for every age in the room.
