The Edinburgh magician who performs in your guests' hands

Jon Finch specializes in close-up magic. The magician approaches your guests where they already are — at the table, in the lounge, by the bar — and performs miracles right in their hands. Each guest becomes part of the magic, not a spectator to it.

That’s why it lands harder. When the impossible happens in your own hands, there’s no “how did he do that from up there?” Suddenly there’s only “I watched it happen and I still don’t believe it.”

Their hands are the stage. Your guests don’t watch magic. They hold it, feel it, know it’s happening, and can’t explain it. The reactions are real, alive, and unforgettable.

Finch works group to group, so no one’s stuck in the back of a room. Each guest gets a personal moment and a souvenir they’ll keep long after the event.

No tech, no stage, no schedule to build around. Jon weaves through your event and adapts to the flow — before dinner, during cocktails, whenever the energy needs a lift.

Photographers love Jon’s magic: candid, wide-eyed, mid-laugh reactions inches from the surprising magic. These photos are the kind of shots you want to share.
