Why Hire a Walk-Around Magician / Mentalist for Your Wedding Reception?

A wedding is a magical day, and what better way to add to the enchantment than by hiring a walk-around magician?


I'm not talking about a big stage magic show. I'm talking about real, interactive magic that will have your guests laughing, gasping, and mingling all night long.




Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life. You have probably spent months, if not years, planning every detail to make sure everything is perfect. So why not add a little something extra to make your reception even more special?


A walk-around magician (aka, a strolling magician) will provide entertainment for your guests while they are mingling and enjoying themselves. They will perform close-up magic tricks that are sure to amaze and delight everyone. This is the perfect way to add a little bit of fun and excitement to your reception.


See my mentalism page for more information about the show.


A walk-around magician is also a great icebreaker. If you have guests who do not know each other, the magician can help them break the ice and get conversations started. This will help everyone relax and enjoy themselves even more.


So, if you want to make your wedding reception even more special, consider hiring a roving magician. It is sure to be a hit with all your guests!


How a close-up magician or mentalist can add excitement to your wedding reception.


Your wedding day is one of the most important days of your life, and you want everything to be perfect. One way to add excitement and make your wedding reception even more memorable is to hire a walk-around magician.


A walk-around magician will move from table to table, performing close-up magic tricks for your guests. This is a great way to keep everyone entertained, and it’s also a great icebreaker for guests who may not know each other.


If you’re looking for a unique way to make your wedding reception even more special, consider hiring a mingling magician.



What to look for when hiring a wedding magician/mentalist.


When hiring a walk-around magician for your wedding reception, it is important to consider a few key factors. First, does the magician have experience performing at weddings?


Second, how well does the magician interact with guests of all ages? And finally, what kind of tricks does the magician perform?


An experienced wedding reception magician will know how to keep guests entertained while maintaining a professional demeanor. A good walk-around magician will also be able to adapt his or her performance to suit the unique atmosphere of your wedding reception. When considering which tricks to ask the magician to perform, be sure to choose ones that will amaze and delight your guests without being too loud or disruptive.


Walk-around magic and mentalism is a great way to keep your guests entertained at your wedding reception. But how do you make sure the magician you hire is good enough to make your wedding a success?

Here are some tips:

· Do your research. Ask around or search online for reviews of local magicians.

· Get a recommendation. If you know someone who has hired a magician before, ask for a recommendation. Ask your wedding planner or venue manager.

· Check the credentials. Make sure the magician you are considering is a member of a professional organization such as the International Brotherhood of Magicians or the Society of American Magicians.

· Ask to see a video. A good magician should be able to provide you with a video of one of their recent performances. This will give you an idea of their style and abilities.

· Set a budget. Wedding magicians can range in price, so be sure to set a budget before you start your search.

Tips for getting the most out of your walk-around magician.


Whether you’re hiring a walk-around magician for your wedding reception or any other event, there are a few things you can do to make sure you get the most out of your investment. Here are my top tips:

1. Make sure your guests are spread out. A walk-around magician works best when they can move around freely and interact with lots of different people. If your guests are all clustered together in one area, it will be difficult for the magician to move around and give everyone a chance to see the show.

2. Give the magician a break. Like any performer, a walk-around magician needs time to rest and recharge between sets. If your event is longer than an hour or two, make sure to give the magician a break so they can come back refreshed and ready to entertain again.

3. Make sure there is enough light. Most magic tricks rely on being able to see what’s going on, so make sure there is adequate lighting for the space where the magician will be performing. This will help ensure that everyone gets to enjoy the show.

4. Make sure the sound level is appropriate. A walk-around magician often uses music as part of their act, so it’s important to make sure the sound level is appropriate for the space where they’ll be performing. You don’t want the music to be so loud that it drowns out the magician’s voice, but you also don’t want it so quiet that people have trouble hearing what’s going on.

5. Give the guests something to take home. A fun souvenir from a magical experience is always appreciated, so be sure to ask the walk-around magician if they offer any kind of takeaway for guests (such as a card trick or mini magic kit). This way, your guests will have something to remember their experience by long after the event is over!

No matter what kind of wedding you’re planning, hiring a walk-around magician is a great way to keep your guests entertained during the reception. But how do you ensure that your walk-around magician is a hit with everyone?

1. Choose an experienced and professional magician. This may seem like an obvious point, but it’s important to choose a walk-around magician who is experienced in performing for wedding receptions. Not all magicians are created equal – some may be better at close-up magic, while others may be better at children’s magic. Make sure to ask for references and watch videos of the magician in action before making your decision.

2. Make sure the magician is interactive and engaging. A good walk-around magician will not only perform amazing tricks but will also be interactive and engaging with your guests. They should be able to read a room and adjust their performance accordingly.

3. Plan where the magician will be walking around ahead of time. This will help avoid any awkward moments or disruptions during the reception. You should also make sure to let your other vendors (e.g., photographer, videographer) know where the magician will be so they can avoid getting in their way.

4. Communicate any special requests or needs ahead of time. If you have any specific requests or needs (e.g., performing tricks that are appropriate for children), make sure to communicate this to the magician ahead of time so they can be prepared.

By following these tips, you can ensure that your walk-around magician is a hit with everyone at your wedding reception!

If you're not sure if hiring a walk-around magician is right for your wedding reception, there are a few things you can do to help you make your decision.

First, consider the overall tone and style of your reception. If you're planning a more formal affair, a magician may not be the best fit. However, if you're planning a more laid-back and relaxed reception, a magician can be a great addition to help keep your guests entertained.

Second, consider the size of your reception. If you're expecting many guests, hiring a magician can be a great way to make sure everyone has a good time. However, if you're only expecting a small number of guests, you may not need the added entertainment that hiring a magician provides.

Third, think about your budget. Hiring a professional walk-around magician can be costly, so if you're working with a tight budget, it may not be the best option for you. Alternatively, if money is no object, then go ahead and treat yourself and your guests to an unforgettable experience by hiring a walk-around magician for your wedding reception!


By following these tips, you can be sure that your wedding reception will be even more magical. If you'd like to learn more about my services, please check out my "Wedding Magician" page.
