Alex Robertson is not just a magician; he's an experience. He has made a significant mark in the realm of magic over the past decade. While his home may be in Cirencester, his magic knows no boundaries as he frequently travels to Kent, where he has family, and performs at diverse events both within the UK and internationally. A close-up magician by specialisation, Alex’s charm lies in his ability to captivate his audience, whether it be at weddings, corporate functions, or private gatherings. But what truly sets him apart from the rest is his bespoke approach to magic. Recognising the distinct needs of businesses, Alex crafts novel magic effects tailor-made for trade show stands, enabling brands to showcase themselves uniquely and memorably.
Many might remember the eerily silent magician from Frightmare, where Alex's talent morphs into an ethereal entity. With spooky makeup complementing his otherworldly persona, he entrances onlookers, executing close-up magic tricks without uttering a single word. It's not just about the magic; it's about creating a mood, an ambience that lingers long after the trick has concluded.
Alex's prowess hasn't gone unnoticed. Over the years, he has had the honour of performing in front of esteemed personalities like Sir Roger Moore, Sir Ian McKellen, Jamie Oliver, and a host of other celebrities. While many photographs depict Alex with cards, don’t be fooled by this portrayal. His repertoire is vast, encompassing mentalism, pickpocketing routines, metal bending, and breathtaking tricks with everyday items – imagine watching your £5 note metamorphosing into a £50 note, or a bottle of wine defying logic by passing through a table.
A proud Member of The Magic Circle, Alex's magic is underscored by a sound foundation in Business Management, a degree he earned from the Royal Agricultural University. This combination of business acumen and magic finesse is perhaps what drives his unique, innovative approach. The accolades he's received, including the Close Up Magician of the Year and Stage Magician of the Year from the Cotswold Magic Society, stand testimony to his unmatched talent. Further, as one of the first 75 “Rockers” of the Cotswolds, he's etched a niche for himself in the annals of magic. However, Alex Robertson isn't just about magic. Beyond the spellbinding tricks and mesmerising performances, he's a multi-faceted personality with a penchant for the guitar, piano, and even jujitsu. But, regardless of the platform, one thing remains constant: his ability to leave an indelible mark on his audience.
