FREQUENLTY ASKED QUESTIONS

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?"
