Break the ice without taking over the event

Events often begin with guests unsure who to talk to or how to start a conversation. A few relaxed moments of close up magic gives people a natural way to connect and enjoy the occasion together.

 

I move between small groups during drinks receptions and mingling periods, creating shared reactions without interrupting food, music or the flow of the event. It helps guests feel comfortable quickly and allows the organiser to focus on enjoying the day rather than managing the room.

Amazing!! Richard really was fantastic, in constant contact leading up to the event and went down an absolute storm on the day. My guests absolutely loved the magic… Richard was friendly and personable and I would highly recommend him for anyone looking for something different at their wedding, party or event!

I hadn’t even thought of having a magician at my wedding until I saw Richard at a Wedding Fair and was taken by his charm and of course magic tricks. I’m so glad we booked Richard for the reception, he amazed and entertained all of our guests, even the cynical ones! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Richard for any event you are planning.
