magicians at a wedding?

Thinking of an interesting way to entertain your guests on your special day?

There are 3 periods in your wedding when you can have a magician - see below for a few details and see which one suits you.

"I perform at one period of the wedding only - I find this has the biggest impact and leaves your guests wanting more. It's usually a mistake when other magicians perform at more than one period. Magic is a great ice breaker - but you don't want to take focus away from the happy couple - especially the bride! " Alan Hudson

PHOTOGRAPHS (Wedding Magician option 1)

This is by far the most popular option. Often the wedding photographer can take a long time setting up each shot. A magician can entertain your guests (who are usually just waiting to eat at this point) with close up magic as they are having drinks and waiting their turn to be photographed with the happy couple. Sleight of hand magic with good clean humour is a really great way to kickstart a day of fun and celebration. They haven't much alcohol at this stage so walkaround magic is a fantastic way to make them feel like they are under the influence of something! Usual running time - 90 mins/2 hours

WEDDING BREAKFAST (Wedding Magician option 2)

A table magician between courses is a lovely touch to make the long meal time more entertaining. Alan will entertain each table with some fantastic sleight of hand and table top magic. All very personal and unique for each group. A great talking point - especially good if you have some guests sat on tables who don't know each other. Usual running time - 2 hours.

EVENING RECEPTION (Wedding Magician option 3)

As your evening guests arrive Alan will mix and mingle with all his mad close up magician skills and help the evening 'do' start with style. Evening receptions are often slow to start (whilst the wedding guests have the buffet and the low music plays) Magic is a great way to start conversations, integrate guests that don't know each other and give the feeling of a fun night - even before too many drinks have been downed! Usual running time - 2 hours (depending on the number of guests).

Please note

The only time the magic doesn't work so well is immediately after the wedding breakfast - often guests are tired after the meal and like to go for a walk, a lay down or just to sit in the bar for a while. With many years of experience performing at weddings, I no longer perform during this period
