1. Wedding Magicians offer a rare experience for guests.
Having wedding magicians at your reception immediately makes your wedding stand out from the majority. It is guaranteed that a good number of your guests have never really seen magic performed in person, let alone up close and intimate. Be the one to truly gift your loved ones this special moment at your wedding and make a lasting impression.
2. Wedding Magicians are interactive and perfect ice-breakers
Wedding magicians can effortlessly intermingle with your guests by employing an array of interactive and engaging magic tricks that make your guests talk cheeringly among themselves! With magicians deployed at your wedding reception, you can stop worrying about the overwhelming responsibility of keeping the guests entertained yourself and focus more on actually enjoying your evening. Best of all, wedding magicians are autonomous when it comes to entertaining. So give yourself that well-earned peace of mind.
3. Wedding Magic can heighten romance and intimacy between newlyweds
Bringing wedding magicians to your wedding is great for keeping the guests happy, but they can actually perform for you too.
A wedding magician at your table can really enhance the intimacy between you and your partner and is prepared to do whatever it takes to give you and your special someone an enchanting experience together; whether it be a romantic candle-lit magic routine, or just simply to make you two laugh until both your belly aches, this is truly an experience you definitely will keep remembering for many years to come. The magic tricks can also be custom-tailored to make the performance unique for the both of you.
4. Wedding Magic is customisable to suit any culture
Whether or not wedding magic is customisable for your specific culture - the majority of your guests are Asian, Greek, Middle-Eastern, or even Aussies - may perhaps be the deal breaker for you. Fortunately, some wedding magicians, like The BlackTies, are more than happy to sit down with the bride and groom before the wedding date, get to know them better, then collaborate with them in designing a whole evening magic solution to suit the wedding culture. Other nuances of the day concerning the wedding theme are more than welcome to be discussed, so you can be reassured that the magic performed at your wedding will not feel out of place.
5. Wedding magic is the perfect entertainment solution for both adults and children
Another great reason to have wedding magicians is that they provide family-friendly entertainment. Great wedding magicians are able to not only make your mature guests happy, but also can keep an eye out for the younger audience. Before your wedding, be sure to advise your family and friends to tell their kids that there will be magic, and imagine the grin on their faces upon hearing this delightful news. Now even the little ones are excited about coming to your wedding! Hey, your guests will think you’re a genius.
6. Wedding Magicians open up amazing photo opportunities
Your photographer will love you. Seriously, the reactions in the photos you have seen so far speak for themselves.
With the magicians proactively sparking the smiles and laughter in people, your photographer will appreciate the fact you’ve made their job of capturing the high-energy emotions amongst the group that much easier (he/she will also secretly thank you for bolstering their wedding photography portfolio).
Also, your guests will be very eager to tag each other and comment on social media once these photos are uploaded - the engagement and cheerfulness among your guests will reignite once again long after the wedding date is over once they see the well-animated faces of themselves.
As for yourselves: you will have an album full of endearing, snapshot memories of your family and friends to enjoy flipping through time and time again.
So make sure you speak with your wedding photographer beforehand and let them know to shoot these crazy photo opportunity moments when the magicians are in action!
7. Wedding Magicians are very versatile and offer a whole range of performance options
No matter how perfect you plan your wedding, it is inevitable that something might throw off your schedule during the evening. Wedding magicians can easily adapt and be well-equipped for unexpected issues; just let them know during the night when a change in plan happens and they will be more than happy to accommodate you.
Also, when it comes to what the magician(s) actually offer, they can perform magic in a variety of formats and settings (it depends on the magician, so be sure to check up on this). Whether it be performing close-up table magic or getting you involved on stage as the centerpiece of the magic performance, wedding magicians can provide a flexible entertainment solution for your wedding reception. Not only that, but wedding magicians can continue to entertain well after the major events of the evening are over, making sure that no part of your wedding is boring even when guests are just about ready to leave!
8. Wedding Magicians can fill the space effortlessly
Compare wedding magicians to a musician band who are rooted in one corner throughout the whole night, and you will realise that wedding magicians are more mobile and dynamic when it comes to entertaining.
Even just one magician can easily roam around and cover hundreds of guests intimately. Don’t forget that a stage-magic performance can also bring people on-stage to participate. So when there is a large space at your chosen venue, wedding magicians are excellent at utilising as much of it as possible.
9. Wedding Magic provides excellent value for what you pay for
Prices can vary greatly between magicians, but compared to other wedding entertainment solutions, magicians overall provide the most impact for buck when it comes to drawing out a lively atmosphere at your wedding. It is also worth noting that wedding magic can easily give your guests something memorable to reflect upon and talk about once they depart.
10. Wedding Magic complements other wedding entertainment/services well
Wedding Magic complements other wedding entertainment/services well
If you want to milk the return of investment out of your overall wedding expenses even further then consider this: wedding magic synergises extremely well with other wedding solutions/services you plan to organise. You already know from reason number 6 how wedding magic can be extremely effective when paired with the wedding photographer, so really think how you can incorporate magic with your other wedding solutions. Here are some examples:
Musical band/DJ - live song choice for performing.
MC - pre/post MC magic performance to engage the guests.
A/V - to offer proper lighting, sound, and better viewing experience with live camera and projection.
Pyrotechnics/special effects - magic with mist and fire should be a no-brainer when you think about it!
Florist - magic involving flowers.
Hopefully these examples alone are enough to inspire you to mix and combine wedding magic with other aspects of your event. This will definitely make you look like an effective organiser!
