In a previous article I discussed "5 things to be aware of when booking a wedding magician for your wedding." Naturally in writing that article I assumed you, the bride, (I'm making the assumption that it's the bride reading this, as, let's face it, the bride organises everything) had already decided that a magician is what you wanted, the help I gave was in finding the right one.
Now, being a full time professional magician obviously makes me a little biased when discussing why a magician is a good idea since I've experienced first hand what a difference it can make; however, I will still give what I feel are a few negatives in hiring a magician later in this article.
Let's start by remembering the fact that throughout your wedding day you will be the centre of attention, and so naturally your mind will not always be on the general welfare of your guests, especially during the photos where you will likely be occupied for a couple of hours. This is where a magician can step in to add that extra dimension to your guests wedding experience and give you peace of mind knowing that they are in good hands.
A good magician can pretty much work during any part of your BIG day (except of course the actual ceremony!) This makes a magician extremely versatile, slotting in with ease and not disrupting the flow of the event.
The following are popular times when a magician can wow your guests.
During the photos
Since the formal wedding photographs involve only small groups at a time, the majority of your guests will be waiting or engaging in small talk with others. This is a great time for a magician to provide an unforgettable experience while at the same time helping to break the ice between different groups of guests.
Magic during the wedding breakfast
The is another popular choice whereby the magician will entertain between courses at tables. If the magician is good this will no doubt raise the atmosphere in the room and make your wedding day feel that little bit more special.
Magic during the evening reception
This can occur immediately following the wedding breakfast and before the evening guests have arrived, or when everything is in full flow and all are present. Either way, people do tend to be more relaxed after all the formalities are over, especially the best man (!!) and a magician can mingle with your guests and amaze and enthrall with close up magic. Some magicians would even offer a show or a short routine tailored for the wedding couple to make them feel special in front of all their guests; this can be an very memorable experience for everyone.
That's the positives for hiring a magician, so what are the negatives?
Firstly, the cost. Hiring a decent professional close up is not cheap and would usually set you back in the region of five hundred pounds for a couple of hours. If you have the budget, then do it.
Another drawback is that it will take you time to find the right magician. It is so, so important to spend time and effort here because the downside will be you stressed out during the day wondering if your magician is performing and entertaining to the level you expect. You do not need any more stress on your wedding day. To make this less of a chore, see my article "5 things to be aware of when booking a magician for your wedding" to make this process a lot easier.
So, to summarise; if you have the budget and have the patience to find the right man for the job it is well worth hiring a wedding magician. You will likely hear your guests talking about "that magician" or "that trick" for years to come which will surely bring a smile to your face.
