Close-up Magic
Dubbed one of the UK's top close-up magicians, Stephen has been performing professionally for the past 7 years, scoring all kinds of gigs worldwide, performing for Celebrities, Royalty, and some of the worlds finest businesses.

This international performer has just returned to the UK after much success in Los Angeles. Stephen was living in LA for the past 3 years, performing for many celebrity clients at high-end venues including the world famous ''Magic Castle’, celebrity hotspot 'Chateau Marmont'., and had a regular spot as a house magician at ‘Hidden’ restaurant at the time owned by Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Since being back in the UK, he has won many top magic competitions including the title ‘Close-up Magician of the year 2008’ along with many other titles.

He has performed at all the top venues in London, making a very rapid and prestigious reputation for himself… even amongst other magicians.

His performance is very fast-paced and modern sleight-of-hand, only using coins, cards and everyday objects.

Signed cards appear in pockets, coins magically appear under a spectators watch, a bottle of wine appears out of thin air and even penetrates through a table, and in the middle of all of this, watches and wallets are skilfully stolen -then of course returned to the spectator with their jaw dropped in a amazement… in other words his magic is not boring!

Cabaret (See Booking Options)
Stephen Karl starts the evening off with 20 minuets of Close-up magic, then goes into his cabaret, a perfect evening of entertainment!

This 45 minuet cabaret spot is a fast paced, hilarious take on modern showmanship.

Stephen has performed all around the country for audiences of 20-200, having people in fits of laughter and amazement!

Described as ‘Pure Entertainment’ with Magic, Mind reading, Pick-pocketing, and Escapology!

Why not book Stephen for your next event and make it something everyone will still be talking and laughing about for many years to come.
