About David Hitchcott

Every performance starts with one simple moment of curiosity.

For around 18 years, David Hitchcott has been creating the sort of moments that make people stop, laugh, look at each other and say, “How on earth did he do that?”

A Member of The Magic Circle, David specialises in close-up magic and mind reading for weddings, corporate events and private celebrations throughout the UK.

The magic is only part of it

For David, the magic has never really been about the trick.

It is about what happens around it — strangers starting conversations, a table suddenly laughing together, guests dropping their guard and sharing something unexpected. The best magic creates a moment people experience together, and those are often the moments they remember long after the event itself.

There is no stage to hide behind and no need to interrupt the flow of an event. The magic happens right there, often in the guests’ own hands, making it personal, immediate and wonderfully difficult to explain.

A craftsman of temporary impossibility

David’s style is relaxed, approachable and built around the people in front of him. Sleight-of-hand, mind reading and impossible moments are used to bring guests together rather than simply perform at them.

Whether he is breaking the ice during a wedding drinks reception, entertaining clients at a corporate event or becoming part of a private celebration, the aim is always the same: create genuine reactions and give people something brilliant to talk about.

Experience you can trust

Over nearly two decades as a full-time professional magician, David has performed for weddings, hotels, companies, councils, venues, event planners and private clients, adapting his performance to suit everything from intimate gatherings to busy large-scale events.

David performs throughout the UK.
