You are not booking a trick — you are booking a moment
There are plenty of perfectly organised events. What guests actually remember are the moments they keep talking about afterwards: moments that surprise, that connect, that are shared.
For more than 20 years Oliver Henke has delivered exactly that moment — as a close-up magician right among your guests, and as a mentalist who makes a whole room hold its breath.
✓ Premium entertainment: Stylish, modern and at home at both business and private events.
✓ Personal, never off the shelf: Every performance is tailored to the event and to your guests.
✓ Interactive: Your guests become part of the magic instead of just watching it.
Magic right among your guests
Close-up magic does not happen on a distant stage. It happens directly in front of your guests – and very often in their own hands.
Oliver Henke moves freely through your event as a walking act and performs short, intense sets for individual groups and tables. Cards, coins and everyday objects become part of the magic, and so do the thoughts and decisions of the people watching.
At receptions, corporate parties, gala dinners and weddings in Dublin this creates a very particular dynamic: people laugh together, start talking to each other and share something that connects them.
No stage. No distance. The magic happens right in the middle.

Magic in action
When your brand becomes part of the show
At corporate events the magic can be built around your company and the occasion. Products, brand messages or the central theme of the event are woven into the performance in a way nobody sees coming.
The result is not a show off the shelf but entertainment with a direct link to your business. At client events, anniversaries, product launches and important corporate evenings this creates a moment that does more than entertain: it ties your message to an experience.
The integration always stays part of the entertainment – subtle, high quality and never the character of an advertising presentation.
Oliver Henke travels to Dublin from Germany and also performs as a magician in Manchester, in Liverpool and in London.
The questions we are asked most often
What kind of magic does Oliver Henke perform in Dublin?
Two formats, and the combination of both. As a close-up magician he performs right among your guests – at the reception, at the tables or during networking, with cards, coins and borrowed objects. On stage he combines interactive magic with mind reading, so the whole room shares one highlight. Every show is built around your occasion, your guests and the running order of the evening.
Does Oliver Henke perform his show in English?
Yes. Oliver Henke performs the complete programme in English as well as in German, and all planning, contracts and correspondence for Dublin are handled in English. Because the magic works through the guests themselves – their hands, their choices, their reactions – it carries an international audience easily.
Where in Dublin does Oliver Henke perform?
Wherever your event takes place: a hotel in the city centre, a company event in the Docklands, a country-house wedding in Wicklow or a conference at the Convention Centre Dublin – the setting changes, the magic does not. Close-up magic needs no stage and no technical set-up at all, which makes it work in rooms where a conventional show act would not fit.
Can I book a magician in Dublin for a corporate event?
Yes – corporate events are the core of his work: Christmas parties, summer parties, awards dinners, conferences, trade fairs, client evenings, product launches and anniversaries. On request your products, brand messages or the central theme of the event are woven into the performance: surprising, high quality and never like an advertising presentation.
What does a magician in Dublin cost?
The fee depends on the length of the performance, the number of guests, the venue and the format – close-up magic during the reception, a stage show, or a combination of both. Travel and accommodation are quoted as a fixed amount, so nothing is added afterwards. Send the occasion, the date and the rough setting and you will receive an individual quote, usually within 24 hours.
Oliver Henke is based in Germany – how does a booking for Dublin work?
Much like a local booking, with one extra line in the quote. You enquire, you receive a written offer in English, and travel to Dublin and accommodation are already included in the agreed price. Oliver Henke has been performing internationally for over 20 years and plans his arrival with enough buffer to be on site long before your guests are.
What does he need on site – stage, sound or lighting?
Close-up magic needs nothing at all: no stage, no sound, no lighting and no set-up time. For the stage show a microphone, a sound system and a performance area of roughly four by three metres are enough; a technical rider is sent with the confirmation. Anything unusual about your venue can be discussed in advance.
How far in advance should I book a magician in Dublin?
For Christmas parties and Saturdays in the wedding season several months ahead is sensible – those dates go first. Everything else is often possible at much shorter notice, and checking availability costs nothing. If your date is already fixed, ask early; if it is still open, Oliver Henke will tell you which dates are free.
