Why do I need a Close up Magician at my wedding?[+]

Magic is one of the most popular types of wedding entertainment for a really good reason. It is tried and tested and really works as an event enhancing form of entertainment.

A wedding day can be a long period of time with certain lulls in the day for your guests. Your guests will appreciate that you have thought of them by providing entertainment throughout the day.

When would a Wedding Magician perform? [+]

Through many years of experience we have found that there are two main times during a wedding that magic works best:

Daytime Wedding Magician

The wedding drinks reception is where the bride and groom are usually having pictures taken and is a great time for your magician to mix and mingle with your guests. This is normally around a two-hour period.

As most guests would have met the magician through reception it works exceptionally well when the magician performs his table magic throughout the wedding breakfast and makes a special visit to the top table to entertain the bride and groom.

Your magician would finish at the end of the meal, as speeches were about to start. If your magician has performed through drinks reception and the wedding breakfast he would normally have been with you for about 3.5 - 4.00 hours

Evening Wedding Magician

The other popular choice for when a Magician performs at a wedding is for him to mix and mingle at the evening reception. Magic is a great Icebreaker at parties and any quality magician can perform to small groups as they arrive and get their drinks.

Magic works really well for around the first three hours of any evening reception and is the perfect choice of entertainment for your celebration.

Do all your magicians do the same thing? [+]

The simple answer to this is "No"

There are many types of wedding magician, for example: card magicians, mind readers pickpockets, children’s magicians and a mixture of these things.
