Pickpocket Magicians

Looking for a completely unexpected form of entertainment that gets guests laughing, gasping, and talking? Our Pickpocket Magicians are masters of stealth, surprise, and style – turning an ancient art into an unforgettable modern performance.

Blending seamlessly into your event, they don’t just perform tricks – they create moments. Whether it’s a guest suddenly discovering their watch is missing (and then back again), or the roar of laughter when someone realises the magician has taken their tie, these performers offer one-of-a-kind interactions that entertain without disrupting the flow of your event.


Why Hire a Pickpocket Magician?

  • Unique Interactive Entertainment – Unlike standard magicians, pickpockets perform with your guests, not just in front of them.
  • Expert Sleight-of-Hand – Watch in awe as they lift phones, wallets, watches, and even belts – all with charm and a wink.
  • Instant Icebreaker – They spark conversation and keep the energy flowing, especially during lulls in the event.
  • Perfect for Sophisticated Events – These aren’t clown acts – they’re polished, discreet, and professionally hilarious.
  • Rare & Sought-After Talent – True pickpocket specialists are rare in the UK – booking one ensures standout entertainment your guests won’t forget.


When to Use a Pickpocket Magician

Drinks Receptions: As guests arrive and mingle, the magician subtly works the room, building rapport and laughter from the outset.

During Dinner/Table Visits: The pickpocket glides from table to table, performing short, impactful routines that get everyone involved without interrupting conversations.

After Dinner Show (30 minutes): A cabaret-style set that lifts the room and energises guests right before the evening party begins.

Small & Intimate Dinners: Perfect for private gatherings, these acts shine in close-up settings, creating intimate magic with a personal touch.


What to Expect

  • Interaction with guests throughout the event – subtle, immersive, and always engaging
  • No setup required – no stage, lighting, or tech needed
  • Completely family-friendly – fun without embarrassment or awkwardness
  • Suitable for both corporate and private events


Perfect For:

  • Corporate Receptions & Dinners
  • Luxury Weddings
  • Drinks Receptions & Private Parties
  • Networking Events
  • Brand Launches & Award Ceremonies
  • VIP Hospitality & Galas


With a disarming smile and a razor-sharp sleight of hand, our Pickpocket Magicians bring mystery, laughter, and surprise to your event. They don't just perform at your event – they become a highlight of it. If you're looking to give your guests a truly original experience that feels personalised, professional, and playfully audacious, this is the act for you.

Hi Leslie, Thanks so much for organising all the acts. Firstly, you as a company did an amazing job at organising everything and appreciate you being so communicative and supportive with this booking. Secondly, all the acts were great and have rated them as so below. Everyone was really personable and wanted to make our event as much of a success as we did which was amazing.

I recently hired Chosen Events Entertainment to help bring some fun and flair to our drinks reception, and they absolutely delivered. From start to finish, their service was seamless, professional, and refreshingly creative. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Chosen Events Entertainment and will definitely be using them again for future events.

Line Dancers (Supreme)

It was the first time that the Club has used a similar service and the dancers were excellent and also able to flex their approach to meet our needs (as the stage space was limited and headset mics in short supply). We captured some fantastic photos that show just how much our employees enjoyed the event and all the dancers were friendly and helpful. It helped us to get into the party spirit and also set the Western theme/tone really well
