Emily and Joe had requested that I perform magic from the end of the wedding breakfast until the start of the evening reception. This period on a wedding day is perfect for magic. I was delighted to entertain friends and family with close-up magic, sleight-of-hand, classic illusions and mind-reading effects.
Magic was also delivered for the younger guests in attendance, and balloon modelling is always a big hit on wedding days. It truly was a tremendous pleasure to engage with Emily and Joe’s day and evening guests within the bar area and function suites of the stunning Hazel Gap Barn.

Hollie and Dane, July 2026, The Carriage Hall, Plumtree, Nottingham
I was delighted when Hollie and Dane asked me to provide close-up magic on their wedding day in July. The venue was the exceptional Carriage Hall, which is located in the picturesque village of Plumtree – just south of Nottingham.
It was a pleasure and a privilege to provide entertainment in such an idyllic location on a beautiful summer’s day. Hollie and Dane had sampled some of my magic at Brittany and Jamie’s wedding at Swancar Farm in September 2024, and I was very flattered when they decided to call upon my services for their special day too.
Close-up mix-and-mingle magic was provided during drinks reception period – just after Hollie and Dane’s ceremony. It was a tremendous privilege to engage such a fantastic group of family and friends on this very special occasion. Indeed, the newlywed’s guests were all in fine form and clearly ready for plenty of fun, interaction and laughter.
It was tremendous to see so many children at Hollie and Dane’s wedding and to have the opportunity to entertain them as well. I am very fortunate that my repertoire allows me to engage with all generations on such a day. Child-friendly magic and balloon modelling was duly delivered, and I thoroughly enjoyed experiencing the wonderful reactions of the younger guests.

It was a tremendous honour to be Lucy and her husband Oliver’s wedding magician at Makeney Hall in 2011; and I was profoundly grateful that they wanted me to be part of another very important red letter day event!

Emma and Michael had also requested that I deliver some table magic during the wedding breakfast. This form of entertainment is rather different to close-up ‘mix-and-mingle’ magic, and I must always ensure that my performances are blended into the schedule in an appropriate manner between the courses. Entertaining the guests during this part of the wedding day allows me to perform a wide variety of illusions, sleight-of-hand and psychological effects which are all perfect for table-side. The guests, who I may have met during drinks reception, often invite me to entertain them during the meal.
