Make Your Bath Wedding Even More Memorable

Your wedding day is about celebrating with the people you care about most. There will be photographs, speeches, food, drinks, music. Plus plenty of catching up with family and friends.

But there can also be those little gaps in the day when your guests are waiting around.

That is where Bath wedding entertainment can make a real difference.

Close-up magic is ideal for weddings because it doesn't require a stage or microphone. I also do not require a room full of people sitting silently in rows. Instead, I walk among your guests and perform impossible magic right in front of them.

A playing card can appear somewhere it shouldn't. Or a borrowed finger ring can mysteriously disappear and reappear.

A signed object can travel from one person's hand to another. Sometimes, I have absolutely no idea how I'm going to explain what just happened! That is the fun of close-up magic.

A Wedding Magician Who Comes to Your Guests

One of the biggest advantages of hiring a close-up magician for a wedding is flexibility.

Your guests don't have to leave the room and sit down for a formal show. The magic comes to them.

I can perform during drinks receptions, between photographs, while guests are waiting for the wedding breakfast. Or at other suitable points during the day.

This works particularly well when different groups of guests are meeting for the first time.

You've probably got both families together. Old friends catching up. Or people who may never have met before.

Magic gives people something to talk about.

Someone watches a trick and immediately says:

"You've got to see this!"

Suddenly, strangers are talking to each other.

That is one of the things I particularly enjoy about performing at weddings.

I'm not simply filling time. I'm helping create moments that people remember.

Bath Wedding Entertainment During the Drinks Reception

The drinks reception is one of my favourite times to perform.

The ceremony has finished. Everyone is excited and your photographer is busy taking photographs.

But photographs can take time. While you're being photographed, your guests are often left standing around with a drink in their hand wondering what happens next.

That's where I can step in. I move from group to group, performing close-up magic without interrupting the natural flow of the reception.

There is no need for your guests to gather in a large circle. I can perform for a small group, move on to another group and then come back later.

This means everyone gets to enjoy the entertainment without feeling as though they are attending a formal magic show.

And because the magic happens inches from their faces, it tends to produce some very genuine reactions.

Magic Between the Wedding Breakfast and Evening Reception

There can also be a useful window between different parts of your wedding day.

Perhaps the wedding breakfast has finished and your evening entertainment hasn't started yet.

Or the room needs to be rearranged.

Perhaps you've got a few minutes before the speeches.

Rather than leaving guests wondering what they're supposed to do, close-up magic can keep the atmosphere lively.

I can work around the schedule rather than forcing the schedule to work around me.

That's important at weddings.

Things don't always run exactly according to plan.

The photographs take longer. Or the speeches start late.

Someone can't find their buttonhole.

Uncle Dave has disappeared again.

It happens!

A professional wedding magician needs to be able to adapt.

What Sort of Magic Do I Perform?

My style is based around close-up magic. Primarily sleight of hand and strong audience interaction.

I use ordinary objects that people recognise. Including playing cards, coins, money, rings, keys, elastic bands and even mobile phones.

There is something particularly powerful about seeing an impossible event happen with an object that belongs to you.

You know your ring was in your hand. Or know your phone was in your pocket.

You know nobody could possibly have touched your card.

Well, that's where things get interesting.

I also perform mind-reading style illusions, creating moments where guests genuinely wonder whether I've somehow been inside their heads.

The emphasis isn't simply on fooling people.

It's on entertainment, personality and creating memorable experiences.

Entertainment for Adults

My wedding magic is aimed at adult audiences.

That allows me to concentrate on sophisticated close-up magic, strong presentation and interaction with your guests rather than performing children's party tricks.

Weddings can have guests of all ages, of course, but my speciality is entertaining the adults.

I want your friends and family to walk away saying:

"How on earth did he do that?"

And preferably still be discussing it when they get home.

Why Choose a Professional Wedding Magician?

There are plenty of people who can perform a few magic tricks.

That doesn't necessarily make someone a professional wedding entertainer.

A wedding is a major occasion. You have spent months planning it. Choosing the venue. Arranging the food. Organising the photographs and making sure everything is right.

Entertainment should be equally dependable.

Professional experience matters because wedding entertainment isn't just about knowing tricks.

It's about knowing when to perform and reading a group of people.

It's about approaching guests without being intrusive.

Plus understanding when a photographer needs space.

It's about moving on when a group has had enough and finding another group that is ready for some entertainment.

And it's about being reliable.

After a quarter of a century performing professionally, I've seen plenty of different situations at weddings and events.

That experience helps me fit naturally into your day.

Bath Wedding Venues

Bath is a fantastic place to get married. With beautiful historic buildings, elegant hotels, country houses and stunning wedding venues in and around the city.

Whether your wedding is taking place in central Bath or somewhere in the surrounding countryside, close-up magic can work particularly well because it requires very little from the venue.

I don't need a stage or elaborate equipment. Or a special performance area.

All I need enough room to walk around and meet your guests.

That makes close-up magic remarkably versatile.

Creating Memories for Your Guests

Your wedding photographs will capture many of the big moments.

The ceremony. The first kiss. The speeches. The first dance.

But there are thousands of smaller moments happening throughout the day that won't necessarily appear in the official wedding album.

That's where entertainment can make such a difference.

A group of friends laughing because they cannot work out how a signed card ended up somewhere impossible.

A parent staring at their own borrowed ring after it has apparently travelled somewhere it shouldn't.

Friends comparing notes because they have just experienced the same impossible trick from different angles.

Those are the moments that become stories.

And sometimes the best wedding memories aren't the things you planned.

They're the things that happened unexpectedly.

Bath Wedding Entertainment with Andy Field

I have been performing professional close-up magic for a quarter of a century, specialising in powerful magic combined with showmanship and audience interaction.

My credentials include being SAMS Champion of Close-Up Magic, and I have also been consulted for the BBC television series Hustle.

My videos have received more than 20 million views on YouTube, while hundreds of Google reviews and more than 400 Facebook recommendations provide feedback from people who have experienced my performances.

But credentials and numbers only tell part of the story.

For me, the important thing is what happens when I walk up to a group of your wedding guests and perform something they simply cannot explain.

That's the reaction I'm looking for.

Not just amazement, but laughter, conversation and a story they'll remember.

Book a Bath Wedding Magician

If you're looking for Bath wedding entertainment that is flexible, interactive and different from traditional wedding entertainment. Close-up magic could be a perfect addition to your day.

I can perform around your wedding rather than asking your wedding to fit around a performance.

Whether it's during the drinks reception. Between photographs. During quieter periods of the day. Or at another suitable time, the magic can be tailored to the flow of your celebration.

Your wedding day is a one-off.

Make sure your guests have something impossible to remember.
