On Thursday I performed my close-up magic at Leona and Laurence's wedding reception. This was held at Great Fosters in Egham - a very impressive venue that looks like a huge National Trust property. I arrived at the planned time but, as often happens at weddings, things were a little behind schedule so I delayed the start of the magic until the speeches were completed. During this time I had a chat with a few guys in the bar who turned out to be the band who had been booked to play later in the evening. They are called RollerCoaster and having heard them play I can highly recommend them if you need a band for your wedding - their website is http://www.rollercoasterband.net
After the speeches I launched into the close-up magic and worked my way round the tables doing a mix of traditional magic, mind-reading and, for some of the younger guests, a balloon animal or two. Something for everyone! The weather had been lovely all day, unseasonally so for this time of year, and it reminded me that exactly a year ago I was performing at a wedding surrounded by six inches of snow! Leona and Laurence were very busy, as you'd expect, and didn't get to see any of the magic, but they had seen me at a couple of wedding fairs earlier in the year so knew that it would entertain their guests. I managed to get a couple of photos with them though, just before the cake-cutting, and you can see how happy they were. The whole evening was thoroughly enjoyable and I'd like to wish the happy couple all the best for their life together.
