My close-up magic guarantees gasps and giggles as the impossible happens right under your nose, even in your own hands as he mingles among your guests or performs at their tables. It is the perfect entertainment for filling any dead time during your wedding such as between the ceremony and the wedding breakfast or between the breakfast and the evening reception or even during the breakfast itself. It doesn't require a specific performance area, there is no set up, it gets everyone involved and creates a fun, lively atmosphere.

I perform contemporary close up magic which I’ve designed to get everyone involved & interacting with each other to create a lively & fun atmosphere at your wedding.

You’ll hear pockets of people laughing & clapping as I perform for them in small groups then see them chatting away with plenty to talk about as I move on to entertain another small crowd.

I generally suggest 2 hours either between the service and the wedding breakfast or at the start of the evening reception. My fee for either of these is £700 including vat & all expenses.

I can also put together packages for an hour, 3 hours or a split between the day & evening receptions if you had something different in mind? I can even Emcee the whole day for you to make it a truly unique experience tailored to you & your guests so feel free to ask about that.

During your photographs, I mix and mingle amongst guests blowing minds by putting them at ease with quality entertainment. This is the perfect moment to work with your photographer to capture professional reaction shots of the performance to create long lasting memories of your day. Depending on timings, I'd finish off the performance around the tables in between the courses of your meal.

2) Changeover section (after the meal and speeches) (2 hours or 3 hours)
Your wedding is going to be the biggest day of your life so it is important to create an atmosphere your guests will never forget after the meal & speeches have finished. Performing magic during the changeover section is all about encouraging fun, laughter and special memories to ensure your guests are in the party mood before the DJ / band start to play.

3) All day booking
This package includes 2 hours during drinks reception and 2 hours during changeover section so every guest is kept entertained during the quieter moments at your wedding to keep the energy high!
