Magician in Shefford for family parties of every size

Christening parties and family days with a magician in Shefford

A christening often has an awkward lull. The service is over, the food isn't quite ready, and people are standing around in their best clothes making small talk. That's when Lewis starts. He moves from group to group, doing a few minutes of close-up magic with each, and the waiting suddenly isn't waiting any more.

He's careful around babies. There's nothing loud and nothing that needs a big cheer, just quiet, close-up tricks in small groups. The older children are usually desperate to help, so he gives them a job. The adults get the puzzlers they'll still be chewing over in the car home.

Every trick is pitched at the people watching. Something bright and fast for toddlers, something they can try to catch him out on for teenagers, and something slow and clear for great grandparents who like to follow every step. One visit to a mixed table can cover all three.

The cake, the toast to the baby and any words from the godparents all come first. Tell Lewis roughly when they're planned and he'll wrap up and step aside, then carry on with the groups he hasn't reached yet.

Family reunions, summer barbecues and big Sunday lunches work the same way. No stage, no space to clear and no need to sit everyone down. He just comes to where people already are.

Wedding receptions near Shefford

Weddings are really just very big family parties, with two families who've often never met. A wedding magician in Shefford gives them something to laugh about together during the drinks reception, while the couple are off having photos.

Lewis works the reception in small groups, so nobody's left awkwardly on the edge. At the wedding breakfast he visits each table between courses and stays well away from the speeches. Some couples keep him on for the evening too, so guests arriving later get a warm welcome.

Small weddings suit close-up magic particularly well. With thirty or forty guests he can spend longer at each table, so it's more of a conversation with some impossible moments than a show. Have a look at the wedding magician page for more.

If the weather turns and everyone piles indoors, it makes no odds. A magician in Shefford working close-up has no props to move, so he just follows the crowd. The same goes for photos running late: he'll simply keep going until the couple are back.

Children at weddings can get restless once the meal starts. A visit to the kids' table between courses buys their parents a peaceful main. And the ones who've finished eating have something better to do than chase each other round the tables.

Christmas dos and work parties in Shefford

Office parties have the same problem as family parties, just with lanyards. People cluster with whoever they already know. A trick in the middle of a group breaks that up naturally, without anyone being dragged up on stage.

Lewis has performed for the Ministry of Defence and at the Royal Air Force Club in London, so formal dinners are as familiar as loud Christmas parties. Roaming magic over the welcome drinks, then table visits during the meal, is the usual pattern. The corporate entertainment page has more.

Summer parties, team away days and leaving dos follow the same idea. Wherever colleagues stand about holding a drink, a magician in Shefford gives them a reason to talk to someone from another department. Client evenings and launches can have your logo or product built into a trick, given enough notice. And for December, enquire as soon as you've got a date, because Friday and Saturday nights in the run up to Christmas are the first to be snapped up.

Booking a magician in Shefford for a staff party also helps the non-drinkers and drivers, who get just as much fun as everyone at the bar. They'll remember the tricks clearly the next morning, which is more than can be said for some of their colleagues.
