Expecting a lot of guests? You might need more Magicians!

Most of the performance options above are based on a typical attendance of 60-90 guests or a 2 hour performance. But not all weddings are the same and you may only be expecting 20 guests or you may have invited 200! I can offer a mix of all the options above to make sure that all of your guests get to experience some magic on your big day.  From a 2 to a 5 hour attendance. If you have invited over 200 guests I would suggest hiring a second Magician, I can book these on your behalf. Please get in touch using the details below so we can discuss the best options for your big day.  [/col_one_half][/columns]

If you are looking for some wedding entertainment in Hampshire a Magician is a great choice.

Magic after the meal or during evening celebrations

The final option is to perform during the room turnaround and into the evening celebrations. A lot of magicians will advise that this is a good time to perform magic, I personally disagree as if there are guests staying in the hotel it’s the time they will go back to their room. I much to perform as a Table Magician during the meal. For others they might take a walk so you will find a lot of guests dispersing. For the early evening I would recommend a performance half an hour before the evening guests (if you are having any) start to arrive. I would then typically perform up until the band or disco start.

The second most popular time that I perform at weddings is during the meal. This will consist of an 8-15 minute table magic routine per table where I will perform as a table magician and engage every guest at the table with an interactive display of magic, mind control and fun! This is great for you as you will hear shrieks and laughter from around the room as I move from table to table. At the end of my performance I will treat the top table to a special performance which culminates in a unique keepsake for the bride and groom.

If you are looking for the best Wedding reception entertainment ideas a Magician is one of the most flexible and amazing you can hire.

Most venues will need time to clear away the tables where your wedding breakfast took place in order to prepare the dance floor whilst the band or disco setup. I can entertain your guests during this time while they are waiting for the evening celebrations to get started. If you are wondering how to entertain guests between ceremony and reception then a Magician could be the perfect choice. Finally if you are expecting more guests for the evening this is another great performance slot.  Guests arriving for the evening will be unaware you have had a magician performing during the day. Roger can then stay into the night until everyone has seen some close up magic.

Magician Reviews

When we started planning our wedding we knew we needed a wedding entertainer but was not sure on what, we have been to a few weddings where there was nothing and whilst everybody was very happy talking and drinking, there was just something missing. Then we went to a friends wedding who had hired Roger to perform is amazing magic. We were mesmerised and Darren followed him from group to group trying to work out how the tricks were done! To cut a long story short we spoke with Roger after he had finished and he was kind enough to show us a few extra tricks and talked about how he could do the same for our wedding, we literally booked him on the spot and a few months later he was at our wedding performing for our guests and they all loved him.
Hiring Roger was one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding entertainment and we would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone! Highly recommended for anyone considering hiring a magician to provide some magical entertainment for their big day. The perfect wedding entertainer!

Magician for Wedding Reception

While wedding guests are having their photos taken guests come for canapes and drinks. They wait at tables for their beverages and make small talk before enjoying fun. It takes them sometimes an extra hour. I can mix with your family and friends and perform amazing magic, and get your family laughing together. Magicians are more than just entertainment – a perfect icebreaker sets the tone of the entire evening.

7 reasons to hire a Magician

5 Ways magicians can entertain guests:

A magic wedding can be a great way to add excitement and intrigue to your special day. There are many ways you can use a magician at your reception, for example:

1. To make announcements or greet guests

A magician can be used to great effect when making announcements or greeting guests. For example, a magician could appear in a puff of smoke and make an announcement, or walk through the crowd and greet guests. This is a great way to add some excitement and mystery to your wedding reception.

2. During cocktail hour

During cocktail hour, the magician performs close-up magic with common objects like coins, rubber bands, and key rings. The guests are wowed by the impossible feats and it gives them something to talk about during dinner. For example, a magician could ask wedding guests to choose a playing card and then perform a card trick. This is a great way to keep all your guests entertained and engaged throughout the reception.

3. During wedding breakfast

The perfect time for some wedding magic is during he wedding breakfast

5. At the end of the night

As the night winds down, why not keep your guests entertained with a little wedding magic? A magician can be used at any point during the event to create an unforgettable experience – especially if it’s something different than what everyone expects! For example, when dinner is over and people are getting ready to leave, the magician could make a grand finale by disappearing in a puff of smoke or reappearing in another part of the room.

A good magician will:

Be interactive with both children and adults

The experience of a wedding can be enhanced by the presence of a magician. A rich celebration is filled with laughter, wonder and fun for all the guests. For children, it provides that special thrill that comes from being able to witness something incredible and for adults, it gives them joy in being entertained by an expert performer. Magician’s creativity allows him to tailor his show to your specific wedding needs.

He will be interactive with both children and adults, making sure that everyone is having a great time. He will also be flexible and able to adapt his act to suit the environment and the mood of the event. His performance should always be respectful of the occasion and the guests.

Be able to read the crowd and adjust his performance on the fly

Relying more on audience participation than traditional magic tricks, a skilled magician will have an in-depth knowledge of human psychology and sense what is needed from them. With a rare skill set, a magician can entertain any size audience with ease – from roving close-up magic to stage shows.

A great magician will also be able to interact with your guests both before and after their shows. He should be approachable and personable, as many people will want to talk to them about their performance. He will also be able to take pictures with your guests and sign autographs upon request.

Be punctual and professional

He will arrive early at the location where he is scheduled to perform, familiarize himself with the surroundings, and find a private place to set up his show. He can reserve an unobtrusive area for himself both in front of the stage or among the tables at your reception.

He will be dressed in a way that is respectful of the occasion and will behave in a manner that is appropriate for the setting. His magic tricks should be entertaining and engaging without crossing any lines.

Don’t forget to factor in the cost of hiring a magician when you’re budgeting for your big day! It’s worth it to make sure your guests are entertained and having a good time. Do some research ahead of time and read reviews to find the perfect performer for your wedding.

How to choose the best wedding magician for your big day?

First, decide what type of wedding entertainment you want. Do you want a close-up magician who will move around the room and perform sleight-of-hand tricks for small groups? Or would you prefer a stage show that will have everyone in stitches?

Next, consider your budget. Magicians can range in price from a few hundred dollars to several thousand, so it’s important to find one that fits within your budget.

Finally, take the time to read reviews and watch videos of potential candidates. This will give you a good sense of their style and what to expect from their performance.

With these tips in mind, you’ll be sure to find the perfect entertertainer for your big day!
