Close-up magician James Went works with nothing more than a deck of cards or a handful of coins, creating moments of pure astonishment right before the eyes of the people watching. Based in Cardiff, he has spent two decades refining the sleight of hand and charismatic performance style that has made him a sought-after entertainer across South Wales and the UK, in person and on TV.
His magic and mind reading travel well: Newport, Bridgend, the Vale of Glamorgan, Bristol, Birmingham and London, and further afield to Los Angeles, Singapore, Belgium, Portugal, Spain and the Maldives, where private islands and luxurious resorts have served as the backdrop. Private parties, corporate events, weddings and special occasions all suit his blend of mystery, wonder and easy charm.
