Care home entertainerClose-up magic for care homes
Darren regularly visits care homes to perform for residents. The magic happens right at their table, in their own hands, so everyone can join in without leaving their seat.
Visiting care homes across Lancashire, the North West and the rest of the UK.
Why close-up magic works in a care home
A stage show asks residents to gather in one place and watch from a distance. Close-up magic is different: Darren goes to them.
It comes to the residents
Darren moves from table to table in the lounge or dining room, so nobody has to move, stand or be wheeled to another room.
A few people at a time
He performs for small groups, at a pace that suits them. Residents who'd rather not take part can simply watch and enjoy it.
No stage or set-up
There's no equipment, speakers or loud music, and nothing for your staff to arrange. Darren just arrives and starts.
Something to talk about
Residents, staff and visiting families are still talking about it long after he's gone. It's a natural conversation starter.
When care homes book Darren

- Open days and family days

"Makes sure he includes everyone and doesn't let anyone feel left out." Nathan Rance, private event
