Hiring Magic For Your Wedding Day
There are many, many entertainment options when it comes to weddings but hiring a magician still seems to be something a lot of people overlook despite the huge popularity over the last 10 years with the likes of Derren brown and Dynamo gracing our TV screens.
So why exactly is magic a good choice?
For starters very few people have actually seen magic close up before. It's very easy to have a cynical view when only having watched magic on TV so it can come as a pleasant surprise to see the same things done right in front of your eyes.
Magic also appeals to all ages from young children to the elderly, there's always something that will appeal. There's always been something mysterious about magic. We know that magicians are very secretive about their art form and that makes it more fun to watch.
The other great thing about magic is that it can involve everyone. Magician Andrew Edmonds from

Magic also can work at any point of the wedding as most magicians are versatile and can work with or without a table. In fact a magician rarely has any props other than what he carries means there is no set up or preparation in advance and the magician can literally turn up and begin performing immediately. This is always a good thing as setting up an area in the wedding venue can sometimes be a problem.
A magician can work during the drinks reception when people are idle and waiting for their photo to be taken. The wedding breakfast is also a time when a magician can go around the tables and entertaining the groups. Finally the evening reception is great as the best man has finished his speech and all the formalities are over. At this time people usually let their hair down and are more open to being entertained.
