Alan Watson

Multi-award-winning magician Alan Watson QSM performs close-up, stage and mix-and-mingle magic across Auckland and beyond. Sir Bob Harvey called him "a once-in-a-generation magician, capable of producing breathtaking wonderment" in Metro Magazine, and after a night at the Variety Artists Club, David Hartnell MNZM wrote that in his eyes Alan is "New Zealand's greatest magician", respected by international peers as a "Master of Magic".

Much of the appeal is proximity: plenty of people have seen magic on television, but watching it happen inches away is another thing entirely. Alan moves among guests, relating to them as warmly as he astonishes them, and tailors each show to the occasion — corporate functions and trade show promotions, weddings and the gap while photographs are taken, family events and children's birthday parties.
