Everything You're Wondering
Questions Couples Ask Before Booking
Planning your wedding is exciting, but it's natural to have questions. Here are the answers to the things couples ask me most before booking.
Is a magician worth having at a wedding?
+
Many couples ask this before booking. The answer is simple: close-up magic transforms the moments between the big moments. Whether it's during the drinks reception, between courses or before the evening celebrations begin, it keeps guests entertained, encourages conversation and creates memories that last long after the wedding day. It's often one of the most talked-about parts of the entire celebration.
When is the best time to have a magician at our wedding?
+
There are several points during the day where close-up magic works brilliantly. The most popular is during the drinks reception while you're having your photographs taken, keeping guests entertained and helping everyone relax. Magic is also a fantastic addition during the wedding breakfast between courses, or in the evening as extra guests arrive and the dance floor is getting started.
Will our guests enjoy having a magician?
+
Absolutely. Close-up magic is designed to bring people together, spark conversations and create shared moments of amazement. It's a wonderful ice-breaker, especially for guests who may not know each other, and often becomes one of the most talked-about parts of the day.
Will you interrupt our wedding day or schedule?
+
Not at all. I work closely with your venue and photographer to ensure my performances fit naturally into the flow of your day. The magic enhances your celebrations without ever disrupting your timetable.
Can you perform while we're having our photographs taken?
+
Yes, and it's one of the most popular times to book me. While you're away with your photographer, I keep your guests entertained so they remain engaged rather than waiting around. It helps create a lively atmosphere from the very start of your reception.
Do you perform during the wedding breakfast?
+
Yes. Close-up magic between courses keeps guests entertained while they wait for the next course to be served. It creates a fantastic atmosphere throughout the room without interfering with the meal or speeches.
How many guests can you entertain?
+
Whether you're planning an intimate wedding with 30 guests or a large celebration with 300 or more, I'll recommend the ideal performance length to ensure as many guests as possible experience the magic.
Can children enjoy the magic too?
+
Of course. While my performances are designed primarily for adults, they're completely family-friendly and children often love watching the reactions just as much as the tricks themselves.
How far in advance should we book?
+
Many couples book their entertainment 12–18 months before their wedding, particularly for popular summer Saturdays. If you've secured your venue and date, it's worth getting in touch as soon as possible to check availability.
Do you work with our photographer and videographer?
+
Absolutely. In fact, close-up magic often creates some of the most natural, joyful photographs and candid reactions of the entire day. I always work around your photographer and videographer to help them capture those unforgettable moments.
Can you perform at our venue?
+
Almost certainly. I've performed at hotels, country houses, marquees, barns, castles and private venues across Sussex, Surrey, Kent, London and throughout the UK. If you're unsure, just ask and I'll be happy to advise.
Why should we hire a magician for our wedding?
+
A magician does far more than perform tricks. Great close-up magic breaks the ice, brings guests together and creates unforgettable shared experiences. While flowers, favours and table decorations are beautiful, the moments your guests remember most are often the ones that made them laugh, smile and say, "How on earth did he do that?"
How much does it cost to hire a wedding magician?
+
Every wedding is unique, so pricing is tailored to your specific requirements, including the type of performance, the duration, your venue and the number of guests. Drinks Reception and Evening Recpetion entertainment starts from £495, while Wedding Breakfast entertainment starts from £545. Combined packages covering multiple parts of your wedding day are also available, offering excellent value and a seamless magical experience from start to finish. If you're unsure which option would best suit your event, I'd be delighted to help. Simply get in touch for a personalised, no-obligation quotation and I'll recommend the perfect package for your plans.

MAGIC IN THEIR HANDS!
CHILDREN DON’T JUST WATCH THE MAGIC,
THEY BECOME PART OF IT.
I actively engage with them, allowing them to fully experience the wonder by getting involved in the magic themselves.
Also, If you book me for your Wedding Breakfast, I offer to give each child a magic wand they can keep as a memento.
I’ll visit their table, teach them a simple magic trick using the wand, and together, we’ll choose a magic word—“please” often comes up, which always makes me smile! Then, with a wave of the wand and the magic word, I’ll perform something special for them.Kids will be amazed as they watch sponge balls appear out of nowhere, magical rabbits jump into their hands and even bubbles transform into lollipops!
YOUR CHILDREN
If you have your own children at the wedding, I offer something extra special just for them. Along with their magic wand, I’ll give them a cool magic trick they can practice and later show off to family and friends.
This experience is especially fun for children ages 5-10, but I’m always happy to tailor it to suit their needs.
OPTIONAL EXTRA ON ALL PACKAGES
As well as a performer, I design and invent my own magic. Magicians from all over the world use my effects and I lecture at magic clubs all around the country. I am renowned worldwide for my unique style – I even appeared on the cover of a magazine headed by David Copperfield! This means I can offer you something very special and unique which you will not find with any other magician out there.
