Break the ice & blow their minds with Oliver Parker's award-winning interactive wedding magic!
The perfect wedding entertainment to keep your guests busy during your afternoon reception and photographs, or after the wedding meal to fill in the gap leading into the evening reception, so you can relax and have your photographs taken in peace, knowing everyone has something to do and won't be left twiddling their thumbs.
Oliver's fun, friendly and totally astounding close up magic is perfect for guests of all ages and abilities and is super easy to organise - no requirements from your end or the venue - No elaborate stage, lighting, sound, table, floor space or power requirements such as might be needed for other types of entertainment or suppliers - Oliver just arrives early on the day, ready to mix and mingle, introducing himself as he astounds all your guests in small groups whether indoors or outdoors!
And of course, Oliver makes sure that you both get to enjoy some personalised magic to leave you with some impossible souvenirs you'll cherish for a lifetime - it is your day after all!
Services offered
Oliver's interactive magic uses playing cards, borrowed money, jewellery and other random objects right in front of your guests in small groups or at each table of guests at a time, getting them involved in their own amazement so they have something totally awesome to talk about for the rest of the day.
Close-up mix and mingle magic performances can last anywhere from 30 minutes to over 3 hours, depending on whether you have a small, intimate wedding or a huge guestlist - just let Oliver know as many details as possible, and he'll be happy to suggest the best options to suit you and tailor everything bespoke to your special day!
