Halloween and Wedding fayres

Another busy weekend is drawing to an end.  Saturday night I was entertaining at a 60th birthday party at The Kings Arms in Bristol.  Around 40 guests all dressed up in Halloween attire in one of the events spaces in the venue.  Everyone seemed to enjoy the magic and I even managed to work in a few new effects.

Today I was exhibiting at The Bath Racecourse wedding fayre, I have never exhibited at this fayre before so was eager to see what it was like and compare to other fayres I have been at.  It was held in a marquee ( a rather lovely marquee ) at the racecourse there were a couple of fashion shows throughout the day.

I have a specific space with a table and my banner along with my laptop playing my promo video ( www.dcmagic.co.uk for more details) I mainly work in front of the table drawing people on with the promise of an unforgettable experience.  Its great fun just performing for people in this setting as I think the majority of the time they are not expecting a Magician to be a wedding fayre and so are surprised by my presence.  I got a number of contact details form potential clients and met some wonderful people who admired my art form.

Thats all for today but I'm working on some new material so may post a video promoting that.

Yesterday was a very busy evening indeed.  At 7.30pm I was performing at a wedding reception at 'The Manor house Hotel' in Castle Combe.  The at 10pm I was performing at a private dinner party in Tayndon.

The wedding reception was lovely quite an intimate and small group in a stunning drawing room of the Manor House I performed a few effects at a table for everyone and then worked my way around the room performing for small groups.

Everyone seemed to love the magic and it is a perfect form of entertainment for a wedding it really breaks the ice and provides a fantastic  talking point for people.  Quite often I perform during the photographs at weddings for the people not involved in them because often its a time where not much else is going on so a bit of entertainment fits in perfectly.

My second performance of the evening was at the end of a dinner party just 18 guests or so I used a similar format of performing for the group then going around the table to let everyone see slightly closer.  If your ever planning a private party and want to give your guests an experience they will never forget magic is perfect.  The host had not told anyone I was going to be there so it was a great surprise for the guests.

I finished my evening with a classic of magic a variation of the cups and balls and everyone seemed to really enjoy the performance.
