Of all the different
forms that exist, it is close up magic that
comes under most scrutiny, as the audience is
actively watching for any trickery or slight
of hand. Yet for the very same reasons, it is
also the most captivating type of magic, as
it can have people gasping in disbelief as things
disappear or change appearance in front of their
eyes.

As International
Brotherhood of Magicians Close Up Champion 2005
and a close runner up in The
Magic Circle Close Up Magician of the Year 2003
& 2006, Tim Shoesmith is
considered to be one of the best magicians performing
this type of magic today and is guaranteed to
bring an added element of excitement to any
event.

Though
strange as it may sound, it’s not just
about the magic, as a good magician must be
able to engage his audience. Armed with a dry
sense of humour, Tim has developed an easy style
over the last 25 years that draws people into
his magic and leaves them feeling amused and
bemused – a perfect combination!

Tim
regularly performs inthe Close Up Room at the
Magic Castle in Hollywood
and also represents the
Magic Circle at its corporate
events. He was also one of a handful chosen
to represent the Magic Circle when it was invited
to perform in
Los Angeles as part its centenary
celebrations.
So if you are organising an event, you can hire
Tim in the knowledge he will not only keep your
guests entertained, but will also add to the
overall atmosphere and help remove some of the
pressures that come with being a host.
