WEDDING MAGICIAN & MENTALIST

Close-up magic and mind reading for cocktail hours and receptions — performed between your guests, without a stage, a microphone, or a single change to your timeline.

The Idea

THE HOUR YOUR GUESTS ARE LEFT WAITING

Most weddings have a gap: the couple disappears for photographs, and a room full of people who have never met stands around with a drink.

That hour is where this works best. Magic performed at arm's length gives guests a shared reaction, and a reason to talk to the people standing beside them.

Nothing is set up, nothing is announced, and nothing is interrupted. Your planner keeps the schedule exactly as written.

Where It Fits

MOMENTS IN THE DAY THIS SUITS

01

Cocktail Hour

The hour where guests from both sides meet for the first time. Close-up magic moves table to table and group to group, giving strangers something to react to together while you're away taking photographs.

02

Drinks Reception & Receiving Line

Waiting is the least memorable part of any wedding day. A few minutes of mind reading turns the queue into the part of the night people describe first.

03

Between Dinner Courses

Performed quietly around the tables between service, without a microphone, a stage, or a pause in the schedule your planner has worked out.

04

Engagement & Rehearsal Dinners

Smaller, more personal rooms where details about the couple can be woven directly into the material — usually the moment guests remember longest.
