Magician in Potton for the works Christmas do
Secret Santa is done, the paper hats are on, and the warehouse team still haven't spoken to the office lot. Let's fix that.
Bringing a magician in Potton to your Christmas party is the easiest way to get the whole company in one conversation. Lewis Joss walks up to a little group by the bar, borrows a pen or a phone, and two minutes later people from different floors are arguing about how on earth that happened.
Lewis joined The Magic Circle's youth scheme at ten and has been performing ever since. Corporate clients have included Mercedes-Benz and SCA, he popped up in the Channel 5 adverts for Minder with Shane Richie, and in 2024 he was on Britain's Got Talent as one half of Jay & Joss.
Christmas is where this page starts, but the same close-up magic works at weddings and family parties, so those are covered too.

What a magician in Potton does at a staff party
Think about how most work dos start. Everyone arrives in twos and threes, grabs a drink and stands with the people they sat next to all year. The directors chat among themselves. The apprentice stands by the coats. Nobody's doing anything wrong, it's just how people are.
Lewis breaks that pattern. He'll join a group, involve the person on the edge, then pull in someone from the next group to help with the finish. By the time he moves on, two teams are talking who weren't before. Repeat that round the room and the party loosens up fast.
Once you sit down to eat, he switches to table magic. Each table gets its own short set between courses, so the far end of the room gets just as much as the top table. He works with the venue staff and never gets in the way of the food.
Speeches, awards and the boss's thank you are all left well alone. Tell him when they're happening and he'll vanish for that bit, then pick up again with coffee or at the bar.
It's not only December either. Summer socials, client evenings, launches and exhibition stands all work with a magician in Potton, and a trick can be built round your logo or product with a bit of notice. The corporate entertainment page has more.
A wedding magician in Potton for the drinks and the breakfast
Weddings follow the same rhythm as a company dinner, just with more confetti. There's a drinks reception where guests wait while the couple have photos, a sit-down meal, and speeches. That drinks reception can drag, especially if the photographer has a long list of family groups to get through.
Lewis spends it moving between your guests, a few minutes at a time, so nobody's left making small talk with a stranger. If you're booking a wedding magician in Potton for the wedding breakfast too, he'll visit the tables between courses and be well out of the way for the speeches.
Children and older relatives get looked after properly. He'll crouch down for the page boys and take his time with grandparents. And if there's a table of people who don't really know anyone, mention it and they'll get the first visit.
Smaller weddings suit magic beautifully too. With forty guests at a long table after a register office ceremony, he can give everyone a proper few minutes, and it feels more like a relaxed chat with impossible moments in it than a performance.
Some couples book him for the evening instead, to welcome the guests who missed the day. The wedding magician page explains how it fits together.
Birthdays and family parties around Potton
A sixtieth, a christening, a silver wedding. Family parties bring together people from every bit of someone's life, and most of them don't know each other. Close-up magic gives them a reason to gather and chat.
Lewis adjusts to whoever's in front of him. Children get quick, colourful tricks, teenagers get something with their own phone, and older guests get something gentler they can follow. The birthday girl or boy can join in if they fancy it.
Teenagers can be a hard sell at family dos. Close-up magic tends to win them round, because it happens in their own hands, often with their own phone, and they're welcome to film it. A magician in Potton who can get a fifteen-year-old to put their phone down and say "no way" is worth having.
Hosting is hard work. While you're sorting the food and greeting late arrivals, a magician in Potton is keeping everyone else entertained, which means fewer people standing about on their own. And if it's a surprise party, he'll keep the room entertained while everyone waits for the big arrival.
Most family bookings run for an hour or two. See the party magician page for more on what to expect.
Why it works when the warehouse meets the office
- Breaks up the cliques People gather round the magic and end up chatting with colleagues they rarely see. The quiet ones often end up being the best helpers.
- Optional fun Nobody has to dance, sing or get up on stage. Watching is enough.
- Round the running order He works around dinner, speeches and awards, not over the top of them.
- Nothing to set up No stage, no sound, no power. He just needs your guests. A pub function room is as good as a hotel ballroom.
- Works for weddings and parties The same mix of roaming and table magic suits family celebrations too.
Function rooms for a Potton party
Lewis covers Bedfordshire and the neighbouring counties, so getting a magician in Potton to your venue is easy. A Christmas party might be at an events venue like Minstrel Court or Shortmead House, a hotel such as Abbotsley Golf Hotel, or the clubhouse at John O'Gaunt Golf Course. The magic happens at arm's length, so any room works.
He also covers Sandy, Biggleswade and St Neots, and the Bedfordshire page covers the rest of the county. He performs all over the UK as well. If you're not sure whether your venue is within reach, just ask. It almost always is.
A few quick answers
How early do we need to book a magician in Potton for Christmas?
As soon as you know the date. December Fridays and Saturdays go first, so if you've got a date pencilled in, check before you sign the venue contract. Earlier in the autumn you'll have more choice, and it's one less thing to chase in November.
Our team is only twenty people. Is a magician in Potton still worth it?
Not at all. Smaller groups often get the most out of it, because Lewis can spend longer with each table and it feels more personal. A small team at a restaurant table is a great audience, as everyone can see everything.
Could one of the tricks show off our brand?
It can, with a bit of notice. It's a nice touch at client evenings and launches. Tell him what you're promoting and he'll talk you through what's possible. The more notice you give, the more time he has to plan it properly, and it doesn't need any special props from you, just your logo or the product itself.
Can a magician in Potton work at our wedding as well?
Yes. Weddings are a big part of what he does. The drinks reception is the most popular slot, and he can carry on through the meal or into the evening. Send your running order and he'll suggest where he'd be most useful.
Is it suitable for a christening with young children?
Yes. He keeps things visual and fun for the little ones and saves the more puzzling stuff for the grown-ups. Parents get a few minutes off too, which at a christening is a rare treat.
Does the hotel or hall have to provide anything for a magician in Potton?
Nothing really. He works among your guests, so there's no stage or equipment. He'll just check the timings with whoever's running the event.

What people say about Lewis
Lewis was amazing at capturing the attention of about 20 seven year olds with close-up magic for a whole hour where they remained calm and quiet for the whole time. Their parents were equally, if not more excited by it!
Lewis performed at my recent party. He has a lovely personality, is very entertaining, very competent ,and very well received by all.
Lewis performed at our wedding during the drinks reception and also between courses of our wedding breakfast. He did an absolutely brilliant job and was such a nice guy to be part of our wedding day. We were really glad we went ahead with the booking. He was a great ice-breaker with our guests and…
