Congratulations Sarah and Jay

Absolutely brilliant! Thank you so much for making our day extra special!

Sarah and Jay, Cockliffe Country House, September 2022

It was tremendous to be part of Sarah and Jay’s wedding day celebrations at Cockliffe Country House, Nottingham in September 2022. It is always a pleasure to entertain at this fine venue, and I was very privileged indeed to mingle with the newlyweds’ close family and friends.

Sarah and Jay had a bright sunny day for their wedding, and it was a pleasure to perform magic in the gardens of Cockliffe Country House.

The period from the end of the wedding breakfast until the first dance is traditionally an excellent time for magic on a wedding day. It was fantastic to be able to provide close-up magic, child-friendly effects and balloon modelling too. Both day guests and evening guests can share in the entertainment during this time, and it brings everyone closer together. Sarah and Jay were blessed with fantastic weather, so guests were able to sit outside and enjoy the spacious gardens of Cockliffe Country House.

It’s always a pleasure to entertain all the generations on a wedding day

It truly was a magnificent occasion, and Sarah and Jay’s guests were a fantastic audience to entertain. One of the most wonderful aspects of performing magic on a wedding day is the appeal it has across the generations. I am always very fortunate to have the opportunity to entertain everyone from grandchildren to grandparents!

Congratulations Sarah and Jay! It was a magical day at Cockliffe Country House, and I am really looking forward to seeing you soon at Pat and John’s wedding this September.

Congratulations Chris and Sophie!

‘you absolutely made our day’

Sophie and Chris, Shustoke Barn, Coleshill, 19th April 2022

What a tremendous day it was; celebrating the lovely Sophie and Chris’s wedding at Shustoke Barn, Coleshill in April of this year. The wedding had been delayed several times due to the pandemic, so it was fantastic to see everyone enjoying themselves at this exceptional Warwickshire venue!

Sophie and Chris asked me to entertain their guests during the period between the wedding breakfast and first dance. This is a great time to engage friends and family, and I was also able to provide both Bride and Groom with a special magical routine as well.

If you play with me, then you play with fire! The superb Damian Burcher was on hand to capture all of the action on the big day – and he never missed a beat – expertly photographing all those very special moments. It was very kind of Damian, Sophie and Chris to allow me to display these fantastic photographs on my blog!

Performing close-up magic and table magic for Sophie and Chris’s guests was a pleasure and a privilege. I was delighted to be able to provide my full repertoire of effects which includes: card magic, classic illusions, sleight-of-hand and psychological entertainment. ‘Mix and Mingle Magic’ is versatile, and is always a big hit on wedding days!

I know what you’re thinking… It’s always magnificent to perform mind-reading effects on a wedding day! This form of magic always leaves the audience speechless and has a very profound impact. People who experience this phenomenon will talk about it for years to come, and it is very satisfying for me to deliver.

Congratulations Sophie and Chris! It truly was a magical day as the exquisite Shustoke Barn. I do hope to have the opportunity to entertain you all again in the future. Take care and best wishes. David Fox 🙂

Happy Birthday Rachel!

I was delighted and very flattered when Jamie and Rachel asked me to perform magic at a very important birthday bash in Nottingham recently! The venue was the fantastic Botti Di Mamma in Hockley and it definitely was a memorable and magical occasion.

IMG_2839

Rachel’s family and close-friends were not only treated to the exquisite ambience and exceptional cuisine of this first class venue, but the talents of Nottingham musical quartet The Money ensured it truly was a fantastic evening. Jamie has known the band for many years and was delighted that they could be part of such an important event. They are always a massive hit wherever they perform!

It was a privilege to mingle with such a warm and receptive group of people, and I was also delighted to perform a little customised magic for both Rachel and her father Brian. Indeed, it was very kind of Jamie and Rachel to invest their trust in me for such a big night, and I always hope that I can repay this in my performance.

A very important occasion calls for a very talented cameraman, and Will Slater was present in order to expertly capture the proceedings. As you can appreciate from the photographs proudly displayed in this article, Will’s timing, sixth-sense and attention to detail is immaculate.

Overall, the party was a resounding success and friends and family partied well into the small hours! Happy birthday Rachel! And well done to everyone for helping to create such a tremendous occasion – I hope that you and Jamie had a great time in the USA.
