Close Up Magician Leeds
Alan Hudson is the perfect close up magician in Leeds for hire at your event.
Alan will mix and mingle through the reception as people are stood with drinks so that guests are fully warmed up creating a buzz during the drinks reception. He can also perform at the tables, between the courses, so that all your guests will have plenty of fun and lots to chat about. This is a fantastic way to connect all your guests.
Close up magic (or table magic) is unbeatable entertainment when performed by a top professional. Alan Hudson has been performing at events in Leeds and West Yorkshire for over 20 years, guaranteeing you are in the hands of a top pro.
A close up magician is becoming a must have at weddings. And for good reason too. Lots of guests who need entertaining whilst the bride an groom go off for photos or mixing with other family and friends. A brilliant magician can really make sure your family and friends are being entertained even if you’re not with them.
Sometimes it’s hard to get different groups of family and friends to mix. People often like to stick to their own groups. A top magician like Alan with years of experience can bring guests together, perform some incredible magic, make them all laugh and then leave everyone to chat to each other to recount on what they have just witnessed.
Leeds Wedding Magician
Wedding magicians are a brilliant way to entertain your guests as you’re mixing and mingling. There are 3 main periods you would hire Alan for some amazing wedding entertainment.
1) Wedding Magician Leeds – The Photo Period
Hiring a wedding magician during the photo period is a fantastic idea because it keeps guests entertained and engaged while the couple is busy with their photos. This period can often feel like downtime for guests, but a skilled magician can create a lively and interactive atmosphere, ensuring everyone is having fun. Magic can also serve as a great ice-breaker, helping guests who might not know each other to mingle and enjoy the celebration together. This added touch can make the wedding even more memorable and enjoyable for everyone.
2) Wedding Magician Leeds – The Wedding Breakfast
Hiring a magician for the wedding breakfast is another brilliant idea! During this part of the day, a magician can perform table-to-table close-up magic, adding an element of surprise and delight to the meal. It’s an excellent way to entertain guests between courses, keeping the atmosphere lively and ensuring everyone feels included.
The intimate nature of close-up magic works perfectly in this setting, as guests get to experience the tricks up close, making it even more impressive. Plus, it provides a fantastic conversation starter for those seated together, enhancing the overall dining experience and creating unforgettable memories.
3) Wedding Magician Leeds – The Evening Reception
Having a magician at the evening reception adds an extra layer of excitement to the celebrations! As the party gets into full swing, a roaming magician can mingle with guests, performing incredible tricks that spark laughter, amazement, and applause.
This is especially great for keeping early arrivals entertained while others join the party or for providing a unique experience in addition to the music and dancing. Magic during the evening reception also appeals to guests of all ages, ensuring everyone feels engaged and has something fun to talk about. It’s a fantastic way to make the night even more magical and memorable!
