Magicians in the North West

Magicians covering the whole of the North West

From Salford Quays, Lytham St Annes, Keswick, Knutsford, Blackburn and Formby, the North West has a huge choice of venues and a busy calendar of drinks receptions, wedding breakfasts and corporate dinners. The magicians on this page cover the whole region, and many play several dates a month within it.

This region page covers Blackpool, Cheshire, Cumbria, Lancashire, Lancaster, Liverpool and Manchester. If you already know which area your venue is in, the links below take you to the page for that area, with venues and acts picked for it.

From The Whitworth and Savoy Hotel to The Den at Four Acre, Combermere Abbey, Bartle Hall and Titanic Hotel Liverpool, the venues across the North West range from grand country houses to barns, hotels and city spaces. Our acts are used to adapting to all of them.

Across the North West you can choose from close-up and table magicians and mind readers. Most will take a few requests ahead of the day, and many can learn a special song if you ask.
