WOW 🤩 What a day up at sunny for the gorgeous wedding of & 🫶🏻

It was awesome fun performing for everyone in the gardens, and always nice to experience a new venue that I hadn’t performed at before! 🙌🏻

All the best for the future Mr & Mrs Gale ❤️

This time last week I was on stage at .britishring25 86th annual convention in Llandudno presenting my lecture “Decade” and performing in the “Stars of Close-up” show! 🤩

15/09/2024

Where do I even start?! 🤩

We’ve just returned home after an absolutely incredible few days in beautiful Llandudno where I was lecturing & performing at the International Brotherhood of Magicians British Ring 86th annual convention! 🙌🏻

It was such a privilege to present my ideas & magic to so many of my peers, and I was blown away by the array of incredibly kind comments I received from many of the delegates afterwards. ❤️

A particular personal highlight for me was performing alongside Chris Congreave & Russell Brown in the “Stars of Close-up” show - two magicians I’ve always admired greatly.

I must thank the wonderful Moira Fletcher in particular for booking me to appear at the convention, and the warmth & hospitality all of the IBM team extended to Dani & I throughout. Thanks also to Ian Black & his team for doing such a great job with my sound cues, and Bob & Sue for executing my camera feed requirements so expertly! 👏🏻

Overall, it was a fantastic convention thanks to the incredible lectures, shows, competitions, dealers and late night sessions (which may have involved one or two light refreshments! 😬).

As wonderful as all of this was, it’s spending time with incredible people that absolutely tops the lot - Sam A Fitton & Claire, Mark James (who predictably absolutely SMASHED his performance in the Gala Show!), Cammy Gibson, Mandy Fletcher, Adam Black 🫶🏻

And new friends Adam Dadswell, Luke, Iain Bailey, Jack Sharp (my fellow close-up judge! 😄), & Mark Elsdon - to name but a few!

To everyone above, and anyone I’ve missed, thank-you - it was a blast! ❤️

WATCH CLOSELY 2024

I am absolutely thrilled to share with you the brand new promo video for WATCH CLOSELY… This show has been my passion project for many years, and in that time it’s evolved from what was effectively a standard “magic show”, to something far more powerful and creative. We’re now approaching 80 consecutive sold-out shows, which is something I could never have imagined when I launched the show back in 2016. Of course, the show has a few classics of magic, but it’s my own creations that seem to elicit the strongest responses. I believe this is what elevates WATCH CLOSELY and contributes to the enduring appeal people from all over the world have shown in supporting it. When producing this video, I wanted to hint at the creative storytelling magic throughout the performance, but more importantly, share the reactions, the wonder, the creativity, and ultimately encourage the viewer to reevaluate their perception of what magic truly is. Thank you to everyone who has supported this show over the years, whether that’s been through buying tickets, sharing it on social media, or providing valuable feedback to enhance future performances - I owe you all everything. ❤️ Tickets for future performances of WATCH CLOSELY are available from www.reidmagic.com Here’s to the fools who dream… #magic #magician #magiclive #closeup #closeupmagic #magicpromo #magicteaser #theatre #storytelling #wonder #liveperformance #experiencewonder #whatsonglasgow #whatsonscotland #magicshow #sleightofhand #sleightofhandmagic #watchclosely #reidmagic

Billy Reid Magic - Out of This World Entertainment for your event!

Hi, and thanks for visiting my page!

I am the 2019 “Scottish Close-up Magician of the Year” and four-time Magic Circle “Cl0se-up Magician of the Year” finalist (2013, 2014, 2018 & 2019). With 20 years’ professional experience, I offer truly amazing entertainment perfect for weddings, corporate and charity events, parties, tradeshows, festivals and product launches.

My magic is modern, mind-blowing and, most importantly, is presented with a real emphasis on energy, fun and creating moments that you and your guests will NEVER forget! Many people have never experienced professional close-up magic before and it’s something they love instantly. Check out the videos on my website to see some of the amazing reactions my magic generates from audiences: www.reidmagic.com

As well as performing close-up and stage magic, I am proud to have collaborated on some creative projects like The Edinburgh Art Festival (2018) where I worked with one of Scotland’s leading artists to create a bespoke magic routine for the festival, or with Sky (2017) when I developed a unique routine for a series of events where playing cards turned into Sky viewing cards in the hands of unsuspecting people!
