Looking for memorable wedding entertainment ideas? Try magic?

Picture this: Your guests are with you for your special day. They’re excited for you and want to celebrate this wonderful new chapter in your life. But every wedding has the inevitable downtimes. While the wedding couple gets their pictures taken after the wedding, the guests make their way to the reception.
And they wait. 
​
Guests are like any group of people. If they wait too long, they get bored. Many of your guests don’t know each other. The conversation is awkward. But what if there was a wonderful way to spark conversation and keep everyone entertained at the same time?

A magician at your wedding reception can make your special day more fun

I’m David Martinez, a San Jose magician performing at events in the San Francisco Bay area. I help brides and grooms make their wedding receptions entertaining for their guests. Using sophisticated magic, clean humor, and engaging guest interaction, I provide wedding entertainment packages that give my clients’ weddings that "something extra" they crave. My past clients’ comments prove I deliver amazing experiences.
​
Booking a magician may seem like an unusual entertainment option for weddings, but it’s a perfect marriage. The best kind of entertainment does not intrude on the proceedings. My style of wedding magic lets guests continue their conversations. Let me explain…

We're big fans of magic and loved the idea of hiring a magician for our wedding. David made it easy, he's very thoughtful, responsive, and professional. He went around doing close up magic in small groups during our reception and even did a trick for us when we entered. We heard nothing but good things from the guests, couldn't be happier!

David is simply an awesome entertainer and all round human! He provided 2 hours of magic at our wedding and it was a blast. People were laughing and crying out during his performance because the magic was so good (he has a magic plunger...). But more than that - he is the kind of person you actually want at your wedding. Incredibly warm, personable, funny, respectful and socially aware. He looked after and entertained all our guests and children but was particularly sensitive to those who were there by themselves and made them feel included and comfortable. I can't recommend David highly enough - a total gem!! ​

My most popular offering: Magic entertainment for small groups

Most of my clients choose my "mix-and-mingle" close-up magic services. This kind of unusual entertainment is perfect for weddings. I visit each table or group and entertain the guests with their own personal magic show. Minds are read... playing cards change... coins come to life!

I’m an award-winning magician and use those skills to cause your guests’ jaws to drop and their eyes to widen as they witness feats of magic that look like impossible CGI movie miracles.

As a magician, I can help your guests feel more comfortable at your wedding reception

This style of closeup or strolling entertainment fits wedding receptions like a glove. My skills serve as the perfect ice breaker. Sometimes guests sitting together at a table are meeting each other for the first time. My magic serves as a great conversation starter for these new groups of friends. After my performance, there is always talk of “How did he do that?” after I leave. Presto... your guests are talking, laughing, and engaged with each other!

Another benefit of this style of entertainment? Because I’m going from group to group, conversations among tables can continue. I’ll "read the room" and go first to the groups that seem to need a bit of a spark. Then I'll circle back to the tables or groups I’ve missed later. I adapt my magic for the needs of your guests, giving them fun entertainment just when they need it most.

We booked David 48 hours before our wedding because our original cocktail hour entertainment option was outdoors, and there was a 100% chance of rain. From the start, David's genuine and kind personality shone compared to the other vendors. He was extremely responsive and asked questions about the event so he could tailor his magic to it. We were initially skeptical about having a close-up magician at our cocktail hour, but it ended up being one of the best decisions we ever made. Honestly, having David around almost made us grateful for rain on our wedding day -- otherwise we never would have had the chance to have him!

The best part of my entertainment for weddings is how easy it is

DJs and bands are great. They are an essential part of many couples’ plans for their big day. But there is a lot of setup involved. Equipment must be brought in. There are space considerations, lighting, and a host of other things to consider.

My magic entertainment doesn’t need any of that. I show up ready to work. I can simply walk into your reception, introduce myself to your guests, and get to work. It’s one less thing for you to worry about coordinating. Once I have your location, date, and time on my calendar, we are all set. No big vans of equipment to unload. No power cords or mic checks. 
​
If you choose my services to start while you are getting your wedding photographs taken, you’ll be sure to hear compliments from your guests after you arrive. Consider my magic services the perfect accent to your beautiful day. Simple, easy, stress-free entertainment doesn’t get any better than this.

I hired David to perform walking magic at my wedding cocktail hour last year and was not disappointed. From the get go, David is extremely professional and responsive. What sealed the deal for me was that in our first email exchanges, he understood that the focus of the day would be on the wedding and making guests feel comfortable and happy during an otherwise awkward hour of mingling. In addition, David prepared a special magic trick for me and my husband, which was just delightful. I would hire David again for any event!

Three ways my magic entertainment is perfect for your reception

There are many ways my skills can enhance your special day. I’ve talked extensively about my cocktail hour performances. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg! There are two more ways my magic can create wonderful memories for you and your guests.

Don’t forget the time after the main meal. I can continue performing for each table after the meal when everyone is relaxing. It’s a perfect way to ‘fill the time’ as tables are being cleared before the cake, dancing, and other fun activities. And this way, you’ll get to enjoy the magic too.

Want an extra special flair? I also offer bigger stage magic for all your guests at once! During this family-friendly show, I perform magic everyone can see at once. Some of your guests get involved and make the magic happen themselves. Everyone is treated with the utmost kindness and respect.
