Bath Wedding Magician – Andy Field

If you're looking for a Bath wedding magician who can entertain your guests without turning your wedding into a stage show, you've come to the right place.
I'm Andy Field, a professional close-up magician with a quarter of a century of entertaining adults at weddings, parties and corporate events throughout the UK. My magic happens right in front of your guests — often just inches away — using cards, coins, rings, borrowed objects, sleight of hand and mind-reading effects.
I don't need a stage, microphone or sound equipment.
I simply mingle with your guests and create those wonderful moments when somebody turns around and says:
"You have to see what this magician just did!"
Bath Wedding Magician Andy Field
I've been performing professional close-up magic for more than a quarter of a century.
I've also achieved more than 20 million YouTube views, received hundreds of five-star reviews and twice been recognised as a S.A.M.'s Champion of Close-Up Magic.
My sleight of hand knowledge and magic expertise have even been used in connection with the BBC drama Hustle.
But statistics only tell part of the story. The most important thing at a wedding is knowing how to entertain people properly.
I know when to approach a group. I know when to leave people alone. Above all I know how to turn a simple magic trick into something your guests will remember long after the wedding is over.
Why Have a Wedding Magician in Bath?

A wedding is one of those occasions where you have lots of people together who don't necessarily know each other. You've got the bride and groom. Parents, grandparents, friends, work colleagues and family members.
Some people have travelled a long way to be there. Others may be meeting for the first time. That's where close-up magic can be incredibly useful.
Instead of simply waiting around for the next part of the wedding, your guests have something exciting to talk about.
I can walk up to a small group, introduce myself and perform something impossible. A card disappears along with a coin, Someone's mobile phone becomes involved in a completely unexpected way. Or somebody thinks of something that I have no possible way of knowing.
Suddenly strangers are laughing and talking together. That's one of the reasons I love performing at weddings. The magic isn't just entertainment. It helps people interact.
When Can a Bath Wedding Magician Perform?

One of the biggest advantages of close-up magic is its flexibility. I'm not asking everyone to sit down and watch a 45-minute show.
Instead, I can work around your wedding plans. I can perform during:
- The drinks reception
- While photographs are being taken
- Before the wedding breakfast
- Between courses
- During the evening reception
- During periods when guests are naturally mingling
- At other suitable points throughout the day
This means your wedding continues exactly as planned. If your photographer needs a group for photographs, I move on. If two guests are having an important conversation, I leave them alone. If a group looks like they're ready to have some fun, that's my opportunity.
That's the difference between simply knowing magic tricks and knowing how to perform professionally at a wedding.
Close-Up Magic During the Wedding Drinks Reception

The drinks reception is often one of the best times for wedding entertainment in Bath. The formal part of the ceremony has finished.
Guests are usually standing around, talking, having a drink and waiting for photographs or the wedding breakfast. It's a perfect opportunity for close-up magic.
I can move naturally between groups, performing for a few people at a time. Then I move on. Another group. Another reaction. More impossible moments.
There's no need for me to gather everybody together. In fact, I prefer not to. Close-up magic works best when it feels spontaneous.
Wedding Magic During Photographs
Wedding photographs can sometimes mean that guests have a little time on their hands. The bride and groom may be off having photographs taken while everyone else is waiting.
That's another useful opportunity for a wedding magician in Bath. I can entertain the guests who aren't involved in the photographs while the photographer does their job.
And when the photographer needs everyone together again, I simply step aside. It's about fitting the entertainment around the wedding rather than making the wedding fit around the entertainment.
Magic Between Courses

Close-up magic can also work brilliantly during a wedding breakfast. Obviously, I don't want to interrupt speeches, important conversations or the food being served.
But during suitable gaps, I can move between tables and entertain small groups. One table might experience a card effect.Another might see a borrowed ring disappear. Someone else might become involved in a mind-reading routine.
Because I'm working with small groups, every table can have a slightly different experience. And that gives your guests something to talk about.
What Kind of Magic Do I Perform?
When people hear the words "wedding magician", they sometimes immediately think of card tricks. Cards are certainly part of my repertoire. But close-up magic is much broader than that.
My performances can include:
- Playing cards
- Coins
- Rings
- Money
- Keys
- Mobile phones
- Borrowed objects
- Sleight of hand
- Mind-reading effects
- Original illusions
I particularly enjoy using objects that belong to the spectators.
There is something much stronger about watching your own wedding ring apparently disappear than watching a magician make a brightly coloured prop vanish.
When something impossible happens with an object that belongs to you, it becomes personal. That's when the magic really hits home.
A Wedding Magician Who Understands People

After more than 25 years of professional performing, I've learned that successful close-up magic isn't simply about knowing hundreds of tricks. It's about people.
You need to know how to approach a group. You need to know when someone wants to see some magic. Somebody may be busy or simply wants to chat.
And you need to know when to leave. I don't force magic on people. Or force my way into conversations.
I read the room. If a group looks receptive, I'll introduce myself and perform something entertaining. If they're busy talking about something important, I'll leave them to it.
It sounds simple. But it's an important part of being a professional wedding magician.
Why Choose Andy Field for Your Bath Wedding?

I've built a following of more than 20 million YouTube views and received hundreds of five-star reviews. I've also twice been recognised as a S.A.M.'s Champion of Close-Up Magic.
My experience also includes involvement with the BBC drama Hustle. But ultimately, none of those things matter unless I can entertain your guests.
That's my job.
I want people to remember the magic and to talk about it afterwards. I want somebody to say: "I still can't work out how he did that!" That's a pretty good result.

My close-up magic is aimed at adult audiences.
That makes it particularly suitable for weddings where you want sophisticated entertainment that can appeal to a mixture of ages and personalities.
You don't need to organise a separate performance area. You don't need to put everyone in rows. Plus you don't need to interrupt the wedding schedule.
The magic simply happens among your guests. Someone chooses a card or gives me a finger ring. Maybe someone holds a coin. Then something impossible happens. Right in front of them.
