Dean and Shirley’s wedding day, 8th July 2018, Bestwood Lodge Hotel
It was a massive privilege and a pleasure to be part of Dean and Shirley’s wedding celebrations on 8th July this year at the beautiful Bestwood Lodge Hotel. I was delighted when the lovely couple asked me to entertain their guests after the wedding breakfast period. Indeed, it was an additional bonus to have the opportunity to work alongside the exceptional Martin and Ellen Hoyle of Martelle Photography. I have known Martin for many years and this would truly be an evening to savour and remember.

‘Your magic was perfect for entertaining our guests during the early part of the evening reception. Thank you so much again David.’
Leigh and Maxine Osborne, wedding, Stubton Hall, Newark, October 2015
Stubton Hall is fast becoming one of the most popular wedding venues in the East Midlands thanks to its myriad of enchanting attributes. This magnificent 19th century stately home has recently been stylishly renovated, and boasts spacious function spaces, 26 hotel rooms, and an impressive expanse of well-manicured parkland.

David Fox’s magic is highly versatile and, regardless of the time of his performance or the weather conditions, he will blend his exquisite brand of entertainment effectively into your wedding day schedule. David was delighted to entertain guests outside during the drinks reception of Chandani and Richard’s wedding last summer. Thankfully the weather was excellent and, whilst welcome drinks and delicious canapes were savoured, David Fox amazed everyone with his rousing repertoire of reality-defying close-up routines. The magic continued throughout the wedding breakfast, and this always provides a wonderful opportunity for David to dazzle the top table with some very special wedding day magic. Indeed, bride, groom and close family do not always have an opportunity to witness the Midlands conjurer’s illusions during photograph time, but on this day some magical memories were truly created for all to cherish.
Indoors or outside, a magician of David’s experience can perform anywhere!
In October 2015, Leigh and Maxine Osborne decided to call upon David’s services immediately after the speeches until the first dance. This is an excellent period for David Fox to mingle with both day guests and evening arrivals. David happened to be performing magic at The Parlour bar/restaurant in West Bridgford, Nottingham last March on the evening when Leigh asked his best man Maxwell to assume duties for the big day! A fully customised impromptu magic illusion was created and performed by David in order to allow Leigh to amazingly pop the question to his friend! And Maxwell proudly said ‘yes’.
The guests tend to be more animated during this period, and there is normally a little background music playing when the evening arrivals start to flow in. An experienced magician like David Fox can always adapt his repertoire of magic appropriately and deliver a more up-beat performance of stunning visual illusions, quick-fire card manipulation, and sensational sleight-of-hand. This is a wonderful way to warm up the guests and get everyone in a very positive frame of mind – ready to fully enjoy the evening revelries.
Always a sensation at weddings! Book David Fox today.
