Now, being a full time professional magician obviously makes me a little biased when discussing why a magician is a good idea since I've experienced first hand what a difference it can make; however, I will still give what I feel are a few negatives in hiring a magician later in this article.

Now, it makes sense that since you are the centre of attention for pretty much the entire day you will not always be looking out for your guests and seeing if they are okay. This is where a magician can step in to add that extra dimension to your guests wedding experience and give you peace of mind knowing that they are in good hands.

A good magician can be very versatile and slot in during any part of your day.

The following are popular times when a magician can wow your guests.

Wedding entertainment during the photos

Since the formal wedding photographs only involve selected groups at a time, most of your guests will be standing around waiting or engaging in small talk with family and old friends. This is a perfect time for a magician to provide them with an unforgettable experience while at the same time helping to break the ice between different groups of guests.

Wedding breakfast

Hiring a magician to perform at each table between courses, commonly termed table-hopping, is another popular choice thus helping to raise the atmosphere in the room as you and your guests applaud, laugh and cheer. Your wedding day will feel that little bit more special.

During the evening reception

The evening reception is a time when all the formalities are over and everyone is more relaxed, especially the best man! People do tend to be more open to being entertained during this part of the day which is probably helped by alcohol consumption which does bring people of out of themselves a little more. The evening guests also get to experience some magic too.

That's the positives for hiring a magician, so what are the negatives?

Firstly, the cost. Hiring a decent professional close up is not cheap and would usually set you back in the region of five hundred pounds for a couple of hours. If you have the budget, then do it.

You also have to consider that booking a good, no great, magician, with a lot of experience and great testimonials AND the right personality will likely take you time to find. I cannot stress how important it is to find the right magician for your big day. Yes, it will take some research on the internet, a few phonecals and maybe even seeing a few in action at some wedding fayres, but it will be worth it to take away the stress on the day knowing your guests are being entertained as you wish them to be.

So, to wrap up, if you have the budget and time to find the right person for the job, you will not regret hiring a magician for your wedding. You will likely hear your guests talking about "that magician" or "that trick" for years to come which will surely bring a smile to your face.
