Hiring a Magician for a Corporate Event in Barcelona: What to Expect

If you're planning a corporate event in Barcelona this summer, the entertainment can make or break the night. Close-up magic and mentalism, done well, is the one thing every guest will still be talking about the next morning.

I'm Rua Gleeson, an Irish magician and mentalist with 20 years and 2,000+ events behind me, including performances for Netflix, Disney, Warner Bros., Google and Meta. My partner is Catalan and my son was born here in Barcelona earlier this year, so this isn't a flying visit: I'm based here, available at short notice, with zero travel costs.

What close-up magic at a corporate event actually looks like

Forget a stage and a spotlight. I work the room during the drinks reception, moving between small groups performing close-up magic and psychological mentalism. It's intimate, elegant and genuinely inexplicable — not loud, not cheesy, and never disruptive to the flow of the evening. Guests get pulled into a moment of real astonishment, then you move on to the next conversation.

Where it works best

• Summer parties and rooftop evenings

• Gala dinners and awards nights

• Networking events and product launches

• Team celebrations and off-sites

  
  

Whether you've already got a date locked in or you're still figuring out the shape of the evening, get in touch and I'll get back to you personally within a few hours. No agency, no automated replies — just a straightforward conversation about your event.
