Trick of the Day - Sleight of Mouth!

You’ve heard of sleight of hand? Well, you might call this sleight of mouth!

As a close-up magician in Glasgow, my job is to create unforgettable, unexpected moments right under your nose—or, in this case, right under my own. The video clip below shows one of my favourite quick-hit effects: a trick that always gets a loud reaction because it breaks all the rules of where a selected card should appear.


The surprise, the comedy, and the sheer impossibility of the moment make it the perfect icebreaker for any event.



A short viral clip is great for a quick shock, but when I perform this live at a party or event, it’s part of a much bigger experience. A piece of magic like this is one of the most valuable forms of entertainment you can get. Here is why this style of unexpected comedy magic works wonders for your guests:


1. It’s the Ultimate Icebreaker

Nothing breaks down barriers between strangers faster than sharing a moment of total, collective bewilderment. A funny, impossible trick performed up close generates immediate conversation and shared laughter, helping people to relax and mingle.


2. It’s Personal and Engaging

Close-up magic is intimate. It happens directly in the hands of the audience, often using a card you selected or a coin you signed. This high level of personal interaction ensures every guest feels personally included and entertained, making them feel like they were a part of the show, not just an observer.


3. It's Perfect for Any Venue or Occasion

This type of card magic is incredibly flexible. It requires no stage, no complicated lighting, and no setup. This means I can perform it anywhere—walking among guests at a cocktail reception, between courses at a corporate dinner, or mingling during the photo session at a wedding. It fits seamlessly into your event, transforming dead time into unforgettable highlights.

My performance style blends highly visual magic with genuine comedy—the perfect mix for any sophisticated social gathering in and around Scotland.
