Wedding Magician in Surrey 

One of the most versatile types of wedding entertainment is to hire a Surrey Wedding Magician.
Roger Lapin can perform his magic at any part of your wedding day, the most popular times are during the photographs, during the wedding breakfast or when the room is being turned around. Roger can also perform during the evening celebrations or if you require a mix of all of these.
Magicians for Weddings are becoming a must have now for the modern couple. If you are on the search for all inclusive wedding packages in Surrey, they don’t usually contain a Magician. This would normally be for the venue and food and maybe a disco. If you already have your venue booked and are already using an all inclusive package just let Roger know the venue, chances are he has worked there before and he could speak with the manager and get you a Magician included into your day.

How does Magic fit into my event?

A lot of people want to hire a Magician but are not exactly sure of where the magic will fit and if it is right for their event. Roger’s years of experience in the entertainment industry can guide you to the right choice.

Unless you have seen a Magician performing before it’s something that a lot of people never experience.

So let’s run through a few different scenarios where you look to hire a Magician.

Birthday Party

Typically this will be for a 21st, 30th, 40th, 50th, 60th, 70th 80th and Roger even does a few 90th Birthday Parties.

You have invited all your friends and family and you would typically be serving food either a buffet or sit down meal.

Roger would usually look to arrive about 30 minutes after your guests to give them time to settle in, there is nothing worse than just taking your coat off getting a drink saying hello to a friend you have not seen in 10 years and then being jumped on by a complete stranger saying “Pick a Card”!

Roger will seamlessly mix with your guests as if he was a guest, entertaining small groups with elegant and funny magic tricks. If people are eating Roger will leave them, but a lot of the time he will be invited into the group with chants of “I love magic” or “Come on we have heard all the screams and wonder what is going on”

Depending on the amount of guests you are expecting this can be for 1 – 4 hours. We would usually recommend allowing 1 hour per 40-50 guests.

At the end of the performance Roger can sometimes perform a short cabaret to the entire group to make sure everyone has seen some magic.

Weddings

When you think about it having a magician at your wedding does not sound like something that would be at the top of your list?

When you think about a wedding you imagine your guests on the lawns of an exclusive hotel in Surrey sipping champagne and canapes listening to the enchanting music of a lone harpist.

Or do you?

Having a Magician at your wedding is becoming one of the must haves for most couples now and for good reason.

Quite simply it is the perfect entertainment for all your guests. From young to old – everyone loves magic. (Well most people!)

A professional magician can move between groups of guests during the photos whilst you are having your photos taken, you can relax knowing there is some entertainment for your guests. Then as everyone moves into the wedding breakfast a short show can be performed to each table.

Also a very popular choice is late afternoon and into the evening. This provides entertainment during the room turn around and also means that your evening guests get to see some magic as well.

Corporate Event Entertainment

Finally one of the most popular uses for Magicians is to provide high energy entertainment at corporate events. This can be Christmas Parties Summer Balls or private events to entertain clients.

Exclusive shows for a group of clients or visiting staff from other countries is very popular and makes for a great conversation the next day.

The busiest time in the corporate world and for Magicians is December. When every company wants to lay on the biggest Christmas Party ever and provide better entertainment than the year before or their rivals.

Advice for booking a Magician in Surrey

There are three basic things that you need to do check before booking a Magician.

Firstly, check reviews – see what other clients have written about their experience. Are there any reviews on their website, have they performed for any celebrities.

Roger has many reviews which you can read above. 

Secondly, check if the Magician is in the Magic Circle – Roger is!

To get into the Magic Circle you have to demonstrate a certain level of magic ability and also pass an interview, so any Magician who is in the Magic Circle has proved they can perform to a certain standard, so you can relax knowing you are booking a professional. Check my post: How to join the Magic Circle
Next, speak to your Magician – To call Roger Tel: 07813 799672 there is so much communication done over email and text these days but to really find out what your Magician is like you need to speak to them. Roger is very happy to speak with anyone about a future booking and can explain how everything will work. You can also get an idea of what they are like as a person, which is very important if you are for example going to be booking them for your wedding.

With Magician’s, as with many things in life, the cheapest is rarely the best and the best is rarely the cheapest, you are probably only doing the event once, so seriously consider investing a little more cash as you usually get what you pay for.
