Top Wedding Tips

Use magic as an ice-breaker. Close-up magic gets guests laughing and chatting fast, especially when different friendship groups are meeting for the first time.

Timing is everything. Magic works best during drinks receptions or room turnarounds, keeping energy high while photos or resets are happening

Go close-up, not stage. Interactive magic in guests’ hands feels personal, natural, and creates far bigger reactions than a one-size-fits-all show
