«Forget everything you thought you knew
about magic... We’re going to show you
something else !»
Founded in 2002 by French magician JeanLuc Bertrand, CLOSE
UP MAGIC Entertainment offers a novel approach to magic.
Subtle, discreet and elegant, CLOSE UP MAGIC’s imaginative
performances startle and surprise audiences through a personalised,
often baffling, and unique form of magic.
Using our team’s extensive range of professional experience and
original skills, our aim is to create a moment which will never be
forgotten.

“MORE THAN JUST A MAGICIAN”
Miramax
JeanLuc Bertrand, Close Up Artist and
Magic Entertainer specialist in the staging of
magic based events, has performed his work in
many areas and many walks of life for more than
fifteen years.
Fascinated by magic from an early age, he began his career as a
magician in New York, performing in up-scale restaurants for a few
years before moving on to Singapore. During his travels, he perfected
his artistic approach across various cultures and through numerous
personal encounters. The idea of ​​using magic as a communication tool
came to him gradually.

And so he evolved his talent and developed his international reputation as a
creator of innovative entertainment events, some never seen before. JeanLuc is
regularly asked to perform at private parties, corporate events, on television shows
and for global luxury brands.
First and foremost an artist, he also spent ten years performing in Parisian theatres with
his show «MAGICIEN(S) TOUT EST ECRIT» (Everything is written), a magic-comedy
directed by Arthur JUGNOT. With this stage experience, he learnt the importance of
acting, lighting and stage design.
Always on the lookout for new challenges for his company CLOSE UP MAGIC
Entertainment, JeanLuc divides his time between the stage and his production
department, where he and his team also develop larger projects.

THE MAGIC OF COMMUNICATION
Subtle and discreet creative techniques can be combined to complement
the marketing strategy of a brand, a company or a product.
Magic can cleverly catch the attention of your target audience and
deliver your message in an intriguing, yet enduring way.

positive aspect of your brand
Using communicative magic transforms the perception of things.
Illusions encourage reflection, recollection of a brand or a product’s
components, recalling the benefits of a product, an object or an
idea.
