Martin Waring - Magician

Add that extra sparkle to your event. Hire me as a wedding magician / close-up magician for your celebrations to add a special touch of magic. I am a York based magician available for your wedding, party, charity ball, dinner event, conference or birthday celebrations in Yorkshire and beyond.

Strolling, close-up magic for your drinks reception
I will mix and mingle with your guests during your party or pre-dinner drinks reception. The effects I do are close-up and personal, often happening in the hands of the spectator. I will approach small groups and introduce myself as your magician for the event and offer to show them some magic. If there are any guests at your event who look as if they are on the edge of things I will make a particular point of trying to get them involved. If there are children at your event the magic usually draws them in like a magnet and I have fun things to hand out which they can take away and try. Think of this as an ice-breaker session. By the time your guests sit down to eat, hopefully most of them will be aware of who I am and be ready for some serious fun!

Table magic for your wedding breakfast or dinner function
I will perform whilst your guests enjoy dinner at each table. The magic is close up and the effects are different to the mix and mingle session. I'm aiming to build the excitement levels with increasing high impact effects. The best effects are of course reserved for the top table. Sometimes I may find a suitable helper like the young lad above in the checked shirt. Together we went round tables performing a card trick and I let him take the applause for it.

In terms of scale, I can cater for a small intimate group in your own home or perform to 100+ people in a banquet setting over the course of several hours.

My aim is to ensure that you and your guests have fun and are entertained. I am not out to prove anything personally.

I provide magical entertainment for a range of events including weddings, birthday parties (both adult and children's), corporate events and festivals.
For children's parties I also offer a basic juggling skills workshop where children can learn the basics of various types of juggling equipment.
