Wedding Magic with a pot of jam!

One of my favourite close up magic effects to perform at a wedding, is the Pot Of Jam trick!
It's very light hearted, a little silly, very unexpected and random, and provides great crowd reactions!




Here's a short video of the effect.


It usually doesn't end there either. After making the jam disappear, it reappears on someones shoulder.

I've just been booked for another wedding at this Derbyshire venue next year, to perform my close up wedding magic and pickpocketing.

I was recently there performing walk around close up magic for a 70th Birthday Celebration for Bill.
It was such a fantastic afternoon. My favourite part was making a pot of jam disappear, and reappear on Bill's shoulder! 

Other suppliers and entertainers who were there on the day were:

Magic Wedding Entertainment Derbyshire

One of my favourite effects to perform at weddings over the last year, has been the coin bend.


Effect - A wedding guest takes one of their own coins, and signs it to ensure I can't swap it for another one. They hold the coin in their own hand, and it bends.


Sometimes, I'll take it a step further and add in some hypnotic suggestion. Just for fun I might make you believe the coin is made of glue, causing your hand to stick together, and your other hand sticks to the side of your head. 
I might even offer to give you my wallet if you can open your hand!


How strange would it be if you believed there was 1000 helium balloons attached to your wrist?

I've performed my close up magic at weddings, anniversaries and birthday parties at The Priest House this year.

In the summer I was there for Katie & Stuart's Wedding. A special request of close up magic and pickpocketing, had there guests amazed for the evening!

For the photo shown below, I was about to make a signed playing card, vanish, and appear folded up, inside my wallet. You'll also notice the watch on her right wrist has already gone!

The photo and following feedback was recently sent by the lovely Katie and Stuart!
"Thanks for performing at our wedding. Everyone was amazed and really added to what was an amazing night!! Thanks Katie & Stu

Magic Wedding Entertainment

‘Superb entertainment at our wedding. Outstanding abilities and brilliant reactions from our guests (and us!). Very good communication which made the booking and pre-event planning process straight-forward. Very flexible to adapt his performance time around our event's timings. Highly recommend.’



So why book me to perform close up magic as part of your wedding entertainment?

During a wedding there are a number of inactive periods where there isn't much going off. You and your guests are just waiting for the next phase.

The biggest downtime is after the meal and speeches up until the evening reception. 
Your wedding venue may need to change the room around, and lay the dancefloor ready for the evenings party. Your DJ will need access to set up his equipment and get the uplighting ready and rigged to go.

During this time, you and your guests will be moved to the bar area, or into another room for a couple of hours whilst everything is being set up.

To keep yourself and your guests occupied, talking, and in the spirit for a party during this time, I can walk around performing from table to table, or mixing and mingling wherever your guests are located, to keep everybody entertained and amazed, and to add that extra little touch of magic to your wedding day.



Out of the hundreds of weddings I have performed at throughout the country over the years, this is the most popular timeslot.

I've performed during this time frame alongside jazz quartets, caricaturists, wedding singers, living statues, fun casino's and other unique forms of entertainment.


Here's what other brides have said:

 ‘Anthony performed at a wedding I was attending and after watching him perform I just had to have such a talented magician at my own wedding. All the guests were enthralled by his performance. He gave a fantastic insight to the world of magic and made my day complete.’

‘Absolute crowd pleaser, born performer. Best entertainer I have ever booked, had the entire reception mesmerised from start to finish. Will recommend to everyone I know and will Definitely book again!!!’

So why have previous couples booked me for their wedding?


 “I wanted something different at my wedding and after seeing Anthony perform at a wedding I was attending decided I wanted a magician at my own. My quests were amazed at his performance and said how special it made my wedding.”


“He was confident and friendly when I met him and made me feel relaxed about booking him.”
“His demonstartion at a wedding fayre was amazing”
