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 🙂

An Evening with the Shadow Master at Winderton Church, Warwickshire

The Church of St Peter and St Paul, Winderton, Brailes, South Warwickshire

I was delighted when Carole Foster invited me to perform magic at the beautiful church of St Peter and St Paul in Winderton, South Warwickshire. This elegant Victorian edifice has been cherished by the local populace for over a century and continues to be utilised for special events. Despite being declared ‘redundant’ in 1976, the community rallied and conserved the building for future generations to enjoy – a truly tremendous testimony to their collective spirit.

Ready for the show. The local community have worked hard to preserve this fantastic building.

This was to be a mysterious night of magic, ghostly tales and shadowgraphy. The locals were treated to the exceptional knowledge of Civil War expert Martin Russell. Dressed as a seventeenth century soldier, Martin recounted the details of the Battle of Edgehill, which was fought close to Winderton, on 23rd October 1642. This would mark the start of the First English Civil War, and the ghosts of the fallen are still said to haunt the highways and byways of the county…

As a professional hand shadowgrapher, Drew amazes audiences throughout the world, and his exceptional act has to be seen to be fully appreciated.

It truly was a fantastic family event in Winderton. Thanks again to everyone.

It was a tremendous privilege to share a stage with Martin and Drew, and to perform magic for such a warm and friendly audience at Winderton. Thank you again to everyone in the village for making it such a magical occasion, and I do hope to have the opportunity to return in the future. A special thanks to Carole Foster for both directing the event, and for being such an outstanding Master of Ceremonies.
