subject: Wedding Entertainer- Maintaining The Air Of Celebration Of Your Marriage [print this page] The wedding entertainment you choose helps to make and maintain the air of celebration, turning the day into a really memorable event. Entertainment at a wedding has lots of practical uses as well, such as breaking the ice between guests.
Magic is the ideal form of entertainment for a wedding because it is versatile, flexible and suitable for a mixed family audience.
Most people, young and old, enjoy magic and an experienced wedding entertainer will be able to perform for all ages. Despite being more popular than ever, a bunch of people have only ever seen magic on television. Seeing magic performed live is somewhat a novelty for most people and will make your wedding day even more special.
Close-up magic and illusion is the most versatile and flexible form of magical entertainment. A close-up magician doesn't require special equipment or facilities such as power or a public address process and will usually carry all his or her props in their pockets. Also, it only takes a few minutes for a professional magician to get ready before they start entertaining.
It also provides a great talking point, even for those not directly involved in the magic at a particular time. While the magician is entertaining one group, everyone else is wondering about the sounds of astonishment and laughter coming from across the room. And those who have already seen the magician are discussing what they have just witnessed and putting forth effort to work out just how did he do that?!
Close-up magic can fit into segment of the big day. There can be times at weddings and civil partnership celebrations when not much is happening, especially for the guests. Close-up magic can fill these lulls and turn them into a highlight. A professional close-up magician will not be too intrusive and will enhance your special day without detracting from it or taking it over.
If you want some really special and unusual entertainment, a cabaret magic show is a great option. A cabaret magic show usually fits in best after the wedding breakfast and is a really effective way to start off the evening party.
A cabaret show is a structured magic act lasting anything from five minutes to an hour and can incorporate everything from visual magic (objects appearing, disappearing and changing) to mental and psychological magic (mind control and mind reading) depending on the wedding entertainer you choose.
Most modern performers incorporate a bunch of humor and audience participation into their magic, which is what really makes a cabaret show entertaining and makes magic stand out from other forms of entertainment.
The style and personality of the entertainer you choose should fit in with your aspirations for your wedding - after all, you are planning for one of the most special and magical days of your life. Most importantly, make sure you are comfortable with the magician through talking to him or her beforehand.
