Robert Bone
Close-Up Magician & Mind-Reader
Hello! I’m Robert Bone, a professional Close-Up Magician, Mind-Reader and Demonstrator of Extra-Sensory Curiosities. (Basically it’s a posh way of saying I mess with people’s heads in a fun and entertaining way.)
I use a combination of sleight of hand, memory techniques, psychological reading and hypnotic suggestion. As a result, every performance feels engaging, interactive, and genuinely memorable. Because I adapt what I perform to each group, table, and individual, no two performances are ever the same.

The Man Behind the Magic
As a professional Close-Up Magician and Mind-Reader based in Berkshire, I perform at events across the UK. Over the past decade I’ve entertained at hundreds of weddings, private parties, corporate events, military celebrations, awards galas, and trade shows.
My style blends sleight-of-hand, memory techniques, psychological reading, and suggestion to create intelligent, modern entertainment that fits perfectly into any event. Whether I’m mingling with guests during a reception, captivating tables between courses, or delivering a stand-up mind-reading cabaret show, my goal is always the same:
To turn your event into a moment guests remember.
I’ve performed everywhere from London hospitality suites and Birmingham exhibitions to military bases, country estates, and even the revolving restaurant at the top of the BT Tower. I’ve been booked for events as far as Oslo, and I’m a proud member of The Magic Circle, having passed my audition on the first attempt.
And yes — I can even keep the group that’s been at the bar since three in the afternoon entertained.
(They’ll probably need another drink after.)
If you want entertainment that’s polished, memorable, and reliably professional, you’re in the right place.

Trusted. Experienced. Unforgettable.
Here are the core numbers that show why people book Robert with confidence:
Events Performed
That’s enough experience to know I can handle the uncle who insists he knows how it is all done.
Years as a
Professional
I have been a full-time professional magician since 2006.
Cards Selected
It’s not just card tricks – but I have doe a lot of them of the years.
Insurance
I don’t know how I’d cause £5m of damage, but it’s good to know I have it.
Magic isn’t about the trick.
It’s about giving your guests something they didn’t expect, and won’t forget.
Award-Winning Magic, Recognised Worldwide
I don’t perform for awards — but it’s nice when the industry notices.
What kind of events do you perform at?
I perform at all sorts of events, weddings, private parties, corporate hospitality, trade shows, awards nights, military balls, Christmas parties, birthdays and even the occasional international booking.
If you have a group of people who need entertaining (and want to make sure they don’t spend the evening staring blankly at each other), get in contact for a quote.
What style of magic do you perform?
I use a combination of sleight-of-hand, memory techniques, psychological reading and suggestion.
In simpler terms:
Close-up magic (like Dynamo)
Mind-reading (like Derren Brown)
Clever card tricks (that impress the card-sharks)
Each group gets material tailored specifically to them, I adapt literally table by table.
Do you repeat the same tricks for everyone?
I remember who has seen what and build layers throughout the event so the magic grows more impossible with each visit.
However, guests also wish to see the same tricks others have told them about – but I try to add some variety.
Your guests won’t just see tricks — they’ll experience a story unfolding.
Can you perform at any venue?
Pretty much! I’ve performed:
In hotels, barns, marquees, VIP suites
On military bases
At exhibitions across the UK
And even in the revolving restaurant at the top of the BT Tower
If your event location is outside my usual area, I’ll always be upfront about travel; and happy recommend trusted magician colleagues if needed.
How far do you
travel?
I’m based in Berkshire with easy access to London, the Home Counties, the South Coast, Birmingham and Bristol.
I entertain across the UK, and occasionally internationally.
If I can get there, I’ll perform there.
Are you insured and professional?
Absolutely. I’ve been a full-time professional magician since 2006, and I carry £5 million Public Liability Insurance. (Though honestly, if I ever manage to cause £5 million of damage doing card tricks, something has gone very, very wrong.)
I also issue formal contracts, invoices and can take card payments for complete peace of mind.
