Are you looking for the ‘right’ entertainment for your event? The perfect entertainment fits in any venue, large or small. The perfect entertainment keeps guests of all ages engaged, amazed, and applauding. And the perfect entertainment is interactive for even more fun.
That’s a LOT to ask of one entertainer.
Enter St. Louis-Based Close-Up Magician Jeff Lefton. Since 1980, Jeff has thrilled audiences both nationally and internationally with his fun combination of incredible magic and hilarious, clean comedy.
How Does Up Close Magic Work?
Up Close Magic is personalized entertainment. Your guests get a show just for them! Jeff Lefton visits your guests right at their tables or groups. He thrills them with their own private mini-magic show. Money changes denominations, objects appear in guests’ hands and much more.
Jeff literally goes where your guests are. No staging needed. No special lighting. No sound system. Jeff arrives and instantly starts entertaining your guests. It’s the easiest entertainment option ever!
Many people have never seen professional magic done right under their noses. Close-up magic is a fun, intimate, interactive experience that your guests will remember and talk about for a long time!
“Thanks for your ‘brilliant’ performance at the Cargill Feedlot Seminar. You kept ’em spellbound and were certainly the topic of conversation the next day. I kept hearing remarks like, “Did you see that trick with the dollar bill?” Or “How did he get that guy’s ring on his keychain?” This was one of the most entertaining evenings the Feedlot Seminar has ever enjoyed.”
– Monica Sirek, Sales Promotion Manager, Cargill
There are 2 types of up-close magic:
Strolling / Close-Up Magician
As a close-up magician, Jeff Lefton moves from one group to another, giving each group their own, individual performance! Also known as ‘walk around magic,’ this entertainment is perfect for a cocktail hour where your guests are standing around. It also works well going from table to table. It’s perfect for entertaining guests (for instance) at a banquet or luncheon. And strolling magic is flexible! Jeff can perform before, during, or after the meal.
Some events, like open houses, have guests coming and going throughout the event. Jeff’s strolling magician entertainment brings interactive fun to attendees no matter when they arrive. It’s easy!
Strolling close-up magic can stand on its own, or it can warm up the crowd for an after-dinner show. For instance, at a banquet, Jeff can ‘warm up’ the group with fun close-up magic before dinner. This gets everyone excited for a full stage show after the meal.
“All of us remain absolutely baffled by the excellent array of close-up magic you performed for our reception last Tuesday. Please accept our sincere thanks for adding good humor and amazing entertainment to our gathering.”
– Robert Wilson, Missouri Bus and Truck Association
Table Close-Up Magician
Table magic is the second form of close-up magic. Instead of strolling, the close-up magician performs at a table and guests gather around to enjoy the show. Table close-up magician Jeff can present multiple table magic shows throughout your event. For more info, see our Magicians Party page.
With Jeff’s stage show, guests are typically seated at banquet tables, or theater style in rows. With Jeff’s table magic show, guests are much closer for a more intimate magical experience. They may be seated in a C or U shape around the table, with possibly some guests standing in the back if they prefer.
“When you see a magician on stage, you figure he has wires or things up his sleeve that I can’t see, being far away. But when he does things 1 foot away and I still can’t see what he’s doing—that is impressive!”
Jeff Lefton Has Performed Close Up Magic at The Magic Castle
Hollywood’s Magic Castle is the mecca for experiencing magic. They are very selective about who they let perform there. Jeff Lefton has been honored and fortunate to perform close-up magic there during 3 weeklong engagements.
If you are ever in Los Angeles and have a free evening, the Magic Castle is an adventure not to be missed!
“On behalf of the members of the Academy of Magical Arts and all of the guests that saw your performances last week, I want to thank you for a job well done. I heard nothing but compliments on your performance and we do hope you will return to Los Angeles in the not-too-distant future.”
– William Larsen, President, The Magic Castle
