Magician in Oldham for weddings with a buzz

Getting the most from a wedding magician in Oldham

Think about the drinks reception first. It starts straight after the ceremony, it can run for an hour or more, and you'll be away for a good chunk of it with your photographer. Lewis spends that time working the room, a few minutes with each group, so nobody's left standing on the edge with an empty glass and no one to talk to.

Roaming magic is easy for guests. Nobody has to sit down, queue or move to a particular spot. Lewis walks up, borrows something, and the trick happens in their hands. Then he moves on while they're still trying to work it out, and they turn to the people next to them to compare notes. That's how strangers end up chatting.

If you've booked him for the meal, he'll go round the tables between courses. It's a nice way to keep the energy up while plates are cleared, and a magician in Oldham at the tables means the children stay put and the adults get a talking point for the rest of the meal.

Speeches and the cake cutting are off limits. Lewis gets the running order from your venue and makes sure he's finished well before anyone taps a glass. If things run late, he adapts.

Some couples bring him back for the evening, to welcome the guests who are only coming to the party. Either way, the wedding magician page explains the different options in more detail.

Office Christmas parties and work events in Oldham

A works do can be surprisingly hard going for the first hour. People stick with their own team, and the ones who don't know many colleagues end up hovering. A magician in Oldham changes that by giving everyone the same thing to talk about, so groups start to merge naturally.

Lewis keeps it friendly and inclusive. He never picks on anyone or forces people to take part, and he's equally happy performing for the managing director as for the apprentices. Over the years he's worked for companies including Mercedes-Benz, so a corporate crowd is familiar ground.

For most work events he mingles during arrival drinks and then does table magic during dinner. He'll check the timings for any awards or speeches and step aside for them. Staff who don't drink or dance get just as much out of it as everyone else, because the magic comes to them at their table.

It works for client evenings, summer parties and product launches too. He can even build your company name or product into a routine. Have a look at the corporate entertainment page for more.

Christmas party dates go early, especially Fridays and Saturdays in December. If yours is fixed, get in touch sooner rather than later.

Birthday and family parties in Oldham

Family parties pull together people of every age. A fortieth might have school friends and grandparents, a christening might have babies and great uncles, and a golden anniversary could span four generations. Close-up magic suits all of them because Lewis tailors each trick to the people he's with.

The children get to help and hold the props. Teenagers get the trick they'll want to show their mates. Adults get the routines that start a proper debate, and older relatives get a visit at their table, so nobody has to stand up.

Whoever you're celebrating can have their moment in a trick if they'd like. If they'd rather not be the centre of attention, that's fine. Lewis will check with you first.

Because there's nothing to set up, booking a magician in Oldham works at home as well as at a venue. A living room, a garden or a function room are all fine. More on the party magician page.

It's also a help to the host. You can't be everywhere at once, but while you're greeting people and sorting the food, Lewis is keeping everyone else entertained. He'll often introduce people to each other along the way.
