A Magical Show
| Q | What should we ask a wedding magician before booking? |
| A | Frank says: Before booking, make sure your magician has lots of reviews. Ideally, these will be video testimonials or reviews on independent websites such as Google. This is an important day, so you want to make sure your supplier has the right experience and is not a beginner with a deck of trick cards. Look for photos on their website where you can see people's reactions. It's important that you see photographs of the audience, as you want to see people having a great time. If you're satisfied, then call the magician and have a chat. Get a sense of their personality. Ideally, they'll get you smiling on the phone. |

Mind-Blowing Magic
| Q | We will be having guests of all ages attend our wedding, and are thinking of hiring a magician to keep them entertained. What should we look for before booking a supplier? |
| A | Andrew Cooper says: When considering hiring a magician for your wedding, here's what you should look for: Experience: Check the magician's experience, especially in performing at weddings. Ask for references and reviews from previous wedding clients. For example, I have over 25 years of magic experience and will use my expertise to help make your big day perfect. Style: Make sure the magician's style matches the atmosphere and theme of your wedding. Some specialise in comedy, while others focus on illusions or close-up magic. Here at ACMAGIC, I offer a blend of close-up magic and humour that's sure to leave your guests smiling. Customisation: A good magician can customise their performance to fit your wedding's unique needs and preferences. Professionalism: Ensure the magician is punctual, well-dressed, and conducts themselves professionally. They should be easy to communicate with and responsive to your questions. Insurance: It's a good idea to check if the magician has liability insurance, especially if they'll be performing in a venue with expensive equipment or delicate decorations. Demo or live show: If possible, attend a live performance or request a video demo of their act to get a sense of their skills and how they engage with an audience. Contracts and pricing: Review the contract carefully to understand the terms, pricing, and any additional costs. Make sure all details are clear and agreed upon. Availability: Confirm the magician's availability on your wedding date and discuss the duration of their performance. Backup plan: In case of unforeseen circumstances, ask if they have a backup plan or a replacement magician available. |
