Drinks Reception | Wedding Breakfast | Evening Reception
As an experienced wedding magician, I can turn a lull into a major WOW factor – Available worldwide.
Since turning professional in 2005, I have performed at over 2,500 weddings. My job is to arrive and mingle with your guests, break the ice between both sets of family and friends to create an incredible atmosphere and memories that your guests will remember forever.
Your guests will see some amazing sleight of hand magic, have a laugh and an all round great experience with me. The best part is that it is a completely interactive performance which means that everyone will be involved!
As you and your guests enjoy delicious drinks and canapés, I will mingle with your guests amazing them with unbelievable close up magic. Laughter will fill the air, amazement will light up faces, and the atmosphere will be electric with excitement. In my opinion, this is the best time of the day for me to circulate.
I typically perform during a drinks reception for 1-2 hours depending on how long the venue has allocated for this part of the day.
With a performance similar to that during the drinks reception, I will visit each table (in between courses), delivering mind blowing magic and excitement.
From the top table you will hear gasps of amazement and laughter as I captivate every generation with sleight of hand magic and mind reading at the tables. In my experience, venues typically allow 2 hours from when you are welcomed into the room until the speeches. This allows me to comfortably meet 10-15 tables.
This is combines both the drinks reception and wedding breakfast options.
A popular choice for my wedding clients as all of the guests will be thoroughly entertained and in safe hands. I will circulate between groups of guests during the drinks reception and then table to table (between courses) of the wedding breakfast performing my signature sleight of hand magic and mind reading.
The time between the wedding breakfast and 1st dance can sometimes turn into a lull during the room turnaround.
I arrive at the end of the wedding breakfast and mingle with your guests entertaining them with sleight of hand magic & mind reading. With all of the formalities out of the way, this is a nice and relaxing part of the day for me to entertain. My performance will typically conclude when you do the 1st dance.
This option is a great choice for both the day time and evening guests to experience the magic.
I will perform throughout the drinks reception between the ceremony and wedding breakfast and then again after speeches in the time between the wedding breakfast and 1st dance. This allows me to circulate with the evening guests as they arrive.
If you are having a more intimate wedding and planning to host a dinner with guests on one table, my private dining performance is a popular choice. Everyone will be involved and experience incredible sleight of hand magic and mind reading.
This works best after mains or dessert. For more information, please see Private Dining Magician

Many people can perform a few tricks at a party, but wedding entertainment requires far more than that. A wedding demands experience, discretion and a deep understanding of timing, atmosphere and guest interaction. Creating a memorable experience isn’t simply about the magic itself — it’s about reading the room, approaching guests with confidence and enhancing the energy of the day without ever interrupting it.
That level of professionalism is why I offer a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. It allows you to relax completely, knowing your guests will be entertained with care, confidence and attention to detail — and that every moment will be handled to the highest standard.
Close-up magic, also known as table magic or mix and mingle magic, involves performing magic tricks in an intimate setting, typically right in front of the audience’s eyes using everyday objects like cards, coins, and small props.
A wedding magician can add an extra element of excitement and momentum to your special day. Wedding magicians typically entertain guests after the ceremony during the drinks reception/photographs, the wedding breakfast or the evening wedding reception. They will perform close-up magic keeping everyone engaged, amazed and having a great time.
The duration of the performance will vary depending on your preferences, the time allocated by the venue and the magicians package options. Typically, close up magic performances can range from one to three hours, but you can discuss the specifics with the magician to tailor it to your needs.
It depends on your preferences and the magician’s availability. Some couples choose to have the magician perform continuously throughout the day, while others prefer specific time slots such as during photogrpahs or after dinner.
Generally, wedding magicians bring all the necessary props and equipment for their performance. However, if you a booking a magic show / cabaret, it’s a good idea to check with the magician beforehand if they have any specific requirements or preferences.
Most wedding magicians are versatile and can perform both indoors and outdoors. However, it’s important to consider factors like weather conditions and lighting when planning an outdoor performance.
Many wedding magicians are flexible and can tailor their performance to match your wedding theme or style. Magicians can incorporate elements that complement your theme and enhance the overall ambiance.
It’s recommended to book your wedding magician as early as possible, ideally several months in advance, especially if you’re planning a wedding during peak season.
The cost of hiring a wedding magician can vary depending on factors such as the magician’s experience, package, duration of performance, and location of the wedding. Prices typically range from £350-£1200.
There is a wide range of other entertainment available for weddings, including caricature artists, photo booths, dancers and DJ’s. I personally love performing during a drink receptions with a live string quartet playing in the background.
