The Cardiff Magic Society’s annual Close-Up Competition is one of the highlights of our club calendar — a night where members showcase their sleight of hand, showmanship, and creativity in an intimate setting.

Performers entertain small groups of spectators with incredible feats of magic using cards, coins, everyday objects, and pure misdirection. Judged by a panel of experts and fellow magicians, competitors are assessed on technical skill, presentation, originality, and audience engagement.

Whether you’re a magician looking to test your skills or a magic enthusiast keen to witness the best close-up performers in South Wales, this is an evening full of astonishment, laughter, and inspiration.

Join us for a night where the magic happens right under your nose!
