Add Magic to Your Wedding Day
If you are wondering how to make your wedding stand out in your guests’ minds as the best they have ever attended, the answer is to book a magician. Magic not only gives a focus to the reception, it also draws people in and breaks any ice.
It’s a rare person who doesn’t enjoy watching the impossible unfold right in front of their eyes, and the sense of wonder and joy magic creates is completely in keeping with how a wedding day should feel.
My own wedding had the potential for being a bit strained. Our families had never got on particularly well and we were apprehensive as to how the day might go. The magician we hired was fantastic. Not only did he perform miracles of magic, he gave our two mums such a surprise that they both screamed, then laughed together, and we could see the tension between them draining away.
The magician at my sister’s wedding gave them a lovely memento. Anna picked a card and wrote her name across it and her new husband did the same. When the magic words were spoken, their two cards merged into one and became a card with two faces, her signature on one side and his on the other. It’s now in a double-sided frame, hanging in their kitchen like a mobile.
My brother went to a wedding where he knew only the bridegroom. All the other guests seemed to know each other and Danny felt lonely and shy. During the reception, he was just looking for the hotel’s telly lounge, thinking to watch the football, when a magician appeared from nowhere and showed him some tricks. When the magician moved to a group standing nearby, he took Danny with him and got him involved.
The venue for my cousin’s wedding reception had made a mistake somewhere and the meal was a couple of hours later than it should have been. Luckily, they had booked a magician (on my recommendation!) and we were all so engrossed in watching the magic that the time flew by.
The magician we had at our wedding was extremely versatile. His magic was popular with four generations and he was very kind to the couple of teenagers who felt a bit like fish out of water. He taught them a few simple card tricks, which they’re still showing us two years later.
When booking your magician, don’t just go for the cheapest. You don’t want to end up with someone’s Uncle Derek who knows a few tricks. You want a smooth, sophisticated magician who will get on well with everybody and perform the sort of magic that will make people gasp, not groan. Although there are many capable magicians who are not in it, membership of The Magic Circle is a good indication of a magician’s skill.
