WEDDINGS
It’s your big day and you only want the best. If you would like something unique for your wedding day, the close-up magic of George can make your special day even more magical. Close-up magic is the perfect icebreaker for guests who may not know each other and creates an immediate atmosphere of fun at your wedding venue.
​
The reactions of your guests can also create some fabulous photo opportunities for your wedding album! Not only do you want a perfect day, but you would like your guests to go away and remember your wedding as being fantastic. George understands that weddings rarely run exactly on time. He can easily adapt to changes in your timings and you won't get charged any extra because things are running a bit late. George’s close-up magic is suitable for all ages, so it's entertainment that all your guests will enjoy, from the oldest to the youngest.
​
George's close-up magic can be performed anywhere, indoors or out. This means the entertainment can easily move from one room to another, or out into the grounds of the venue if your guests are enjoying the sun.
AFTERNOON DRINKS RECEPTION
As soon as the ceremony is over, the happy couple will go for the all-important photos. This leaves guests and the two families alone, and many will not have met before. Whilst the happy couple are having their photographs taken, George entertains the guests as they are enjoying the canapés and drinks reception. Then as the happy couple re-joins their guests, the photographer can then capture the fun!
WEDDING BREAKFAST
It’s virtually impossible to sit everyone with other people they know, or who they want to sit next to. This can lead to awkward silences when guests sit down during the wedding breakfast. George can entertain at each table between courses. It is a perfect way to break the ice as well as a great talking point for the table. It also gives the photographer a great opportunity to capture some great reactions.
EVENING RECEPTION
After the meal and speeches, there is a natural “lull” where guests are left waiting for the evening guests and DJ to arrive. Having George perform magic during this period is an excellent way to stop guests getting bored and frustrated. George can entertain all of your guests during the turnaround time and can be on hand to welcome any extra guests to the wedding and offer the perfect start to your evening celebration.
Providing memorable wedding entertainment is becoming increasingly popular and for such an important day, he believes it is essential to make the right decision about how to provide your guests with a magical day. George has performed as a table magician at hundreds of weddings, from smaller more intimate gatherings, to grand performances at prestigious venues.
