When are the best times for David Fox’s magic on a wedding day?

Excellent periods for David’s unique brand of magic on a wedding day are:

1. During drinks reception time (immediately after wedding ceremony). David can freely mingle with your guests and mesmerise them with his stunning repertoire of close-up magic.

2. Early evening reception (from the end of the wedding breakfast until cake-cutting/first-dance time).

This is a wonderful section of the day for David to captivate both day and evening guests.

3. Table magic during wedding breakfast.

As an accomplished and highly experienced table magician, David can weave his sublime sorcery into the proceedings during the meal. Listen to the applause and gasps of amazement as he engages your guests in between the courses!

4. Customised magic.

David is always very flexible on wedding days and he can customise an appropriate package to suit your schedule and unique requirements. As well as being a close-up magician, he can also deliver a show for all of the guests at an appropriate time, and child-friendly entertainment too.

Every wedding is unique, and David Fox will always work closely with you to ensure a first class show.

What type of magic does David perform?

Many years of dedication, practice and development have allowed David to master a diverse and extensive range of magical effects. These include: card magic, sleight-of-hand, classic illusions, visual magic, mind-reading, psychological routines and mystifying predictions. As a family entertainer, David has something for everyone in his locker, and he will deliver his performance expertly in a warm, engaging and friendly manner.

Children will be present at my wedding? Can David Fox entertain them too?

Yes – prior to being a full-time magician, David was a school teacher, and he is highly experienced in entertaining younger guests on wedding days.

It is vital that all age groups are included on such an important occasion. Child-friendly magic can be delivered, and David Fox is also a highly accomplished balloon modeller and sculptor. This colourful and vibrant art-form is always a winner on a wedding day!

Steve and Nicola’s Wedding Day – 30th March 2018 at Makeney Hall

‘he kept the adults and kids entertained and captivated the whole time’

Steve and Nicola Fairclough, 30th March 2018

I was delighted when Nicola and Steve asked me to entertain their guests at Makeney Hall. We first met at the hotel on Mother’s Day 2017 when I had the privilege of performing some table magic for them. It is always a tremendous endorsement when a couple decide to call upon my services for such an important occasion – and Makeney Hall is a stunning location for a wedding.

Drinks reception magic immediately after the ceremony always goes down very well on wedding days, and it was a real pleasure to mingle with Nicola and Steve’s guests in the bar area and drawing room. Close-up effects and routines are entertaining, but also have the added bonus of bringing together friends and family of both bride and groom who may have not met before. Card magic, sleight-of-hand illusions and feats of mind-reading are engaging, direct and very versatile – regardless of where the guests happen to be; they can be entertained.

After the speeches, it was fantastic to perform table magic and some child friendly entertainment in the Milford Suite. One of the most pleasing aspects of a wedding day is the opportunity to entertain all the generations present – from the youngest guest to the eldest. The presence of children on a wedding day always works well and livens up the proceedings. Balloon modelling is a colourful and vibrant addition which amazes both young and old. By this time the party was in full swing, and Nicola and Steve’s guests were a real pleasure to mix with.

It is always a great bonus if I have the opportunity to perform a special routine of magic for the newlyweds. The exceptional Jo Brew was the photographer for the day and masterfully captured an effect involving Champagne for Nicola and Steve. Jo is available for weddings and photo-shoots around Derbyshire and beyond, and can be contacted on her email address: jojobrewphotography2017@gmail.com. Her tremendous photographs throughout this blog article reveal her fantastic talent and ability to capture the vital moments on a wedding day.

It truly was a spectacular occasion at Makeney Hall and I am very fortunate to have played a role in Steve and Nicola’s magical day. As always, the highly professional team at the hotel did a sterling job in ensuring everything ran smoothly and the guests’ unique requirements were fulfilled. It is always a real pleasure to work with the lovely Antonia and all the conscientious members of staff.

Congratulations to Steve and Nicola!
