It was an incredible honour to perform my close-up magic at the prestigious Global Gift Gala London, hosted at the stunning Kimpton Fitzroy London. The evening, organised by the Global Gift Foundation in support of SameYou, brought together celebrities, philanthropists and supporters for a night of generosity, glamour and giving back.
A Magical Night for Meaningful Causes
As a professional magician based in London, I’ve had the privilege of performing at many world-class events, but the Global Gift Gala was truly special. The event celebrated kindness and community — and it was a joy to add a touch of wonder to such an inspiring evening.
Throughout the night, I performed sleight-of-hand magic and interactive illusions for guests, creating moments of surprise and laughter around the room. Seeing people come together through shared amazement is what I love most about performing.
Supporting @GlobalGiftFDN and @SameYouOrg
Both the Global Gift Foundation and SameYou carry out incredible work — from supporting vulnerable women and children to helping those recovering from brain injuries and strokes. Being part of a gala that raises awareness and funds for such causes was an experience I’ll never forget.
The event also showcased the power of live entertainment to connect people and elevate the atmosphere of a charity evening. Close-up magic is the perfect way to engage guests, break the ice and make the night truly unforgettable.
Performing at London’s Most Prestigious Venues
The Kimpton Fitzroy London provided a beautiful backdrop for the evening — its grand architecture and elegant interiors made it an ideal setting for both the gala and the performances.
Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to perform at many of London’s most iconic venues, from luxury hotels to exclusive corporate events. If you’re planning a charity gala, corporate dinner or private celebration, a bespoke close-up magic performance can transform your event into something guests will talk about long after it ends.
Add Magic to Your Next Event
Whether you’re hosting an intimate dinner or a large-scale awards night, I create experiences designed to captivate and connect. Each performance is tailored to suit your guests, venue and occasion — blending elegance, humour and impossibility.
