'Strolling magic' or 'close-up magic' is ideal for functions in a restaurant or restaurant-type setting and also Rene's speciality. He has been a resident magician at three venues in and around London and also appeared weekly at Mangostin Asia, an upmarket restaurant on the outskirts of Munich specialising in South East Asian cuisine.

In this setting, René moves freely between tables greeting guests with amazing magic and, at the same time, engaging them in small talk. Everything happens very close-up, even in their hands. For example, two elastic bands mysteriously link and unlink, signed cards appear stuck to the ceiling and rings penetrate through the walls of balloon animals.

Should the food arrive during one of his mini table-top shows, he will quietly leave and let the quest enjoy their food; after all, that is what they are there for! René can entertain up to about 40 guests per hour in this way.

If you are looking for magic entertainment for a cocktail party or reception then 'close-up magic' is ideal for this too
