What To Consider When Hiring A Wedding Magician?

So your big day is fast approaching and you are finalising your arrangements. You are worrying there might be something missing but can’t quite define just what! Then you suddenly realise… your big day lacks any entertainment during the day to ensure that your loved ones actually enjoy themselves and won’t forget your special day as being something truly different to any other wedding they have ever been at.

So what can you do to ensure your special day STANDS OUT?

Booking a wedding magician may well be the missing piece of the puzzle you’re searching for to ensure you create a memorable wedding day for your friends and family.

Professional magician hire for entertainment at a wedding is a relatively new yet really successful idea. Traditional wedding days just seem to lag and have no appeal or excitement so the guests usually end up having had too much to drink by the middle of the afternoon because there is not much else to keep them occupied! That’s something you definitely want to avoid.

You have to create a day which people will chat about for months to come, don’t you? Well hiring a great quality mix and mingle magician can achieve just that. But there are some aspects you should look out for to make sure your day runs smoothly…

A professional wedding magician should approach your guests in a friendly manner and put them at ease while thoroughly astounding them with sleight of hand close up magic using objects including decks of cards, coins, bank notes, mobile phones and other borrowed items. Often the magic happens in your guests own hands and will definitely to baffle even the toughest of sceptics.

The majority of the guests probably will not have experienced a live magician since their 7th Birthday party, so booking a high quality close up magician will be a real treat!

Magic is no longer only used at children’s Birthday parties and stage illusions, there is a new genre of corporate magicians , wedding magicians and street magicians who specialise in performing incredible close up magic right under your guests noses whilst being friendly and charming!

The order of events on your special day is incredibly important; occasionally things may not go exactly as you had planned so having a professional magician at hand to cover up any gaps is a brilliant way to make sure that it all runs smoothly in you guests eyes.

You will want your wedding magician of choice to conclude their performance before it gets too late into the night at which point guests will start to make their own magic with too many beverages and the band or DJ take over with pumping music.

Timing is vital and you have to avoid any confusion to your guests which may arise from overlapping entertainment. A professional wedding magician will discuss your specific requirements and recommend the ideal times to entertain on your day to fit in with your existing arrangements.

The best times a close up magician can help your wedding are:

During the photographs – walk around magic is a great method to engage guests who aren’t currently required for the wedding photos and will make them feel involved. It’s also a great way to get them chatting amongst themselves from the beginning of the reception and offer them something fun to discuss for the remainder of the day!

During the wedding breakfast – in between the meal courses is a great time for table magic, where the magician spends a couple of minutes at each table of guests entertaining them with mini miracles to break the ice and keep them entertained when they are waiting for the next meal course to be served. After dinner entertainment can also work quite well to keep people awake and excited before the speeches.

At the start of your evening reception – while your evening guests are arriving a professional magician is a wonderful ice breaker to give everyone something different to chat about and guarantee the evening reception starts with a bang! But you may want to make sure they are done performing before the band or DJ crank it up to 11.

A wedding magician providing interesting and jaw dropping magic on your wedding day is definitely a wonderful touch. The performer will definitely create a buzz and exciting atmosphere which your guests will truly enjoy and remember for years into the future! The demand for close up magicians at weddings is really just beginning to take off so you might be the first new bride and groom out of your friends to hire this form of mesmerising entertainment and your guests will surely love your ingenuity, leaving all your friends and family with memories to look back upon!
