Wedding Magic - Where to use it.

Simon suggests three points during a traditional wedding day which can really benefit from the skills of a professional wedding magician.

Wedding Magicians performing at the Reception: Immediately following the wedding ceremony, the bride and groom are usually occupied with wedding photography - this period can be a little slow for those not directly involved. The afternoon reception is an ideal time for a Wedding Magician to mingle with small groups of guests, performing short bursts of Close Up Magic. Simon pays particular attention to any guests who appear at a 'loose end.' Wherever possible, he brings groups of guests together before providing a real talking point to help them get to know each other. The skill of a good strolling wedding entertainer at the reception can really help to set the tone for a great wedding day.

Wedding Magicians performing at the Wedding Breakfast: Necessity dictates that complete strangers will often be seated alongside each other during the meal. By working between courses, Simon helps to alleviate awkward silences by performing short sets of interactive Close Up Magic at each table. The applause from around the tables adds an air of expectation to those awaiting a performance and helps to generate an upbeat, unselfconscious atmosphere around the room. By working in harmony with the waiting staff, Simon performs first to those waiting longest for their courses. This helps the meal to run as smoothly as possible.

Wedding Magicians performing at the Evening Reception: When the anxiety of the speeches and the ceremony has been forgotten, the evening reception is a time to relax and have fun. This can be a great opportunity for your guests to enjoy some good fun close-up magic in a 'mix and mingle' style. A skilled professional magician performing throughout your evening reception can really help to finish your wedding day in style.

A Handful of Testimonials

You made a huge impact on our guests! They were bowled over by your magic and you were the 'talk of the day' for weeks afterwards! I think people are still trying to work out how you did some of those tricks!! I'd highly recommend you to anyone who wanted a magician to amaze their guests at any function! Matthew & Emma Nixon

We wanted to express our thanks for the entertainment you provided at our Civil Partnership Celebrations on Saturday. The excitement and interest you generated created a real point of difference, not least because our friends and family were so impressed (if not a little frustrated because they could not work out how you were doing the tricks!). Even our budding magician friend was impressed! Seriously, thank you for making our evening. Andrew Smart & Mark Hainge

Thank you for your part in our celebrations. We had so many positive comments from everyone. You really made our day with your mindblowing magic... Simon, you were fantastic and made our day just perfect. Stuart and Eileen Colborne

Our friends and relatives haven't stopped talking about you! It was a great end to a fantastic day all round. I still haven't a clue how you did the tricks. But then I suppose that's why they call it magic. Brenddon & Alisoun Thomas
