Jon Allen is a catalyst for a great atmosphere. He uses strong effects and sheer personality to engage people not just on a performer/audience level but on a person/person level as well. A fun and exciting atmosphere is quickly established and spreads around the whole party.

Your nerves are quickly calmed; you see and hear all your guests having a fantastic time. Great close-up magic is not about the magician or the tricks; it's about giving people a memorable experience. If that's what you need for your event contact Jon Allen.

Where suitable, a superb finale to the entertainment Jon Allen can deliver is an Intimate Cabaret.

For smaller gatherings of around 6 - 15 people, Jon performs his close-up cabaret at a table where people are seated around to watch a 15 - 30 minute show. Featuring elements of his IBM World Close-up Championship winning act, Jon performs close-up magic effects and routines in a style that is professional, fun & enthralling, yet casual. Audience participation is key and when it is over, people have a truly memorable party to tell all their newly jealous friends about.
