Add Close-Up Magic to Your London Wedding Day

Just got engaged? Many congratulations! Now you’ll be busy booking a venue, hiring caterers, and thinking about ways to keep your guests entertained throughout the day. If you’re looking for something unexpected, amazing, and memorable, why not hire a wedding magician for your big day? For over a decade now I have been performing at over 60 London weddings each year. Weddings come with the magic baked in, so I’m there to keep your guests entertained whilst photos are being taken, or they’re seated for dinner. Using close-up magic I connect with every guest, no matter the size or venue.

Surprise Your Guests With Personalised Magic

magician for weddings in london I recommend keeping my presence at your wedding a secret. Performing magic for guests who aren’t expecting it always produces the biggest reactions, as well as getting people laughing, talking, and sharing reactions with each other.

Richard Young is a professional magician and a member of the Inner Magic Circle. He has been providing magic for weddings in London since 2007. He has also appeared on TV shows such as ‘ITV’s The Next Great Magician’ and ‘Penn & Teller: Fool Us.’

hire a magician for wedding london There are 3 times during a traditional wedding day when magic will work brilliantly: The first is a performance during the welcome drinks reception straight after the ceremony, this is when the photos are traditionally taken and your guests will spend a lot of time standing around. It’s perfect for magic! The next slot is during the meal, also known as the wedding breakfast. Usually you will have to seat a few people together who don’t know each other and magic is the perfect ice breaker for them. The atmosphere in the dining room is amazing throughout dinner as I move from table to table with applause and laughter audible throughout. The final slot is during the evening wedding reception, it helps to keep the party going and if you have evening only guests they get to enjoy it too and it really helps bring day and evening guests together.

“Richard was truly fantastic at our wedding, and was certainly one of the highlights of the day – it was particularly nice to have guests commenting back to us how everything went so smoothly and how the entertainment was truly special. The illusions were simply magical, and I hope that we can have Richard at future events to enjoy his talents again. He was a pleasure to have around, and I couldn’t recommend him highly enough.“

Matthew Powell

“We hired Richard to attend my daughters wedding day celebrations for two hours in the afternoon. From the first contact to the follow up email after the event, he was nothing but friendly, polite, professional and helpful. During the two hours, he moved around all of the tables, making sure all of the guests received equal time and opportunity to watch him doing various, amazing magic tricks for all the guests. Everyone loved it and it made an added extra wow factor and special memory of the day.”

Sharon Channon

“We were fortunate enough to secure Richard to perform at our wedding a few years ago. As a life long fan of magic and magicians I thought it would be a great way to entertain our guests while we were off having photos done. Richard was not only an incredibly amazing performer but was also a real professional and genuinely lovely chap. His sleight of hand and magical prowess are amazing – a really fabulously impressive prestidigitator!! People still mention his appearance at our wedding even now”

Chris Gilson

“The close-up magic performed by Richard at our wedding will live long in the memory. Our guests still rave about him to this day. From the initial booking, right through to the big day itself, Richard was a consummate Professional and the level of skill he displayed during his performances was absolutely mind-bending. On top of this, he was very funny and charming too. If you’re looking for that something to make your event extra special, look no further.”
